It seems McQueen covers are all the rage these days. The Vogue Germany March issue also features Sarah Burton’s butterfly dress from the SS11 collection. It’s a stunner, no? Alexi Lubomirski’s photographs in the full editorial actually feature Constance Jablonski in designs by a slew of designers in rich, glorious colour – a requirement this [...]
Ms. Moss graces two different covers of Harper’s Bazaar UK for their May 2011 fashion royalty themed issue. In the first, she wears the same dress and recreates the dreamy hologram from Alexander McQueen’s FW06 show, entitled The Widows of Culloden. I remember how it brought tears to my eyes when I first saw it [...]
It’s 1985. I am standing on a lawn, speaking with friends. My hair is short, a la Kate Lanphear. My skirt is glazed cotton, from Morningstar, in a mushroom hue. My sweater is a dull black, boatneck knit by Moretti, bought at Costelloe. I am wearing this exact outfit, in fact (down to the pleating [...]
Toronto, your Maharaja moment is almost up. Patiala saab – everyone’s favourite royal mac daddy – is packing up his precious wares and leaving his residence of the past few months – the AGO. If you haven’t managed to pop by his place for tea, then you really must visit. Where else can you find [...]
We know colour is where it’s at this season. But let’s really roll up our sleeves and get into it, shall we? More than a few designers adorned arms with pastel-coloured plastics, pushing pink and periwinkle to the proverbial limit of our imaginations. Images: Vogue.com.
It isn’t enough that it’s Alaia? It had to be studded? And maroon? Swoon. Images: Netaporter.
To write about fashion in this space daily, I follow along with the collections as they happen – months in advance of the actual season they are to be worn in. It’s a whirling blur of images, video clips, links and stories. I currently don’t have the luxury of sitting front row before a global [...]
It’s only a matter of time before these window awnings fade to black. If Carine has her way, the walls may be dressed in black patent leather buckles and the windows, veiled in black lace. WWD reports this morning that Ms. Roitfeld has taken a creative consulting gig at Barneys New York. She’ll be working [...]
She hated being called Liz. She ruled the Silver Screen in the ’50s and ’60s. She captivated us with her style and her lifestyle. Elizabeth Taylor passed away today, Wednesday, March 23rd, at the age of 79. Here are some of my favourite images of a woman who can never be forgotten. A giant loss [...]
Tower over the little worries in life in these beauties from Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Suddenly everything looks so tiny, innit? Available on Netaporter.com.
Sometimes, on a blah day, an old-fashioned piece of mail can take you from grey… …to great. It features gorgeous pieces available at The Room – The Bay’s designer department – this Spring, including several pieces I previewed at the British Invasion events last Fall. The floral vellum had the marketer in me swooning, and [...]
While Batman preferred the cover of darkness and all things noir, this is not the time for it. It’s Spring, my dears. Whether you measure it by groundhog predictions, or calendar dates or Supermoons, the ushering of a new season is upon us. For me, there is only one start to this season of all [...]
What does a girl wear to view a Supermoon? Only one pair of shoes will do – these silver Brian Atwood platforms will have you seeing the sun, moon (super, or otherwise) and the stars. Image: Polyvore.
I don’t sing the same la-la for Gaga that many of you do. I just don’t see the brouhaha over her image. Everyone was all a-twitter about her appearance on the FW11 runway for Nicola Formichetti for Mugler… …but I will take Ms. Mulder for Monsieur Mugler (himself) any day. Even with her eyes closed, [...]
May your path be sprinkled with four-leaf clovers. And may luck be your constant companion. This dashing green trilby wouldn’t hurt, either, designed by London-based, Irish milliner, Philip Treacy. Available at: Luxury Emporium.
