Is that the tune of June that I hear in the near distance? Darling June, you cannot come too soon. I feel your grasp in my heart. If you are having a deja vu moment, you are not alone. Hussein Chalayan did wonderful gowns with grabbing hands a while back. Both versions took my breath away. [...]
May was beautiful in so many ways… …but it certainly left its mark. Mark my words – we have not been stained in vain. We will rise to sing, again. Perhaps it will even be a new tune… Images: Elle.com.
With all this rain lately, a girl needs a stylish way to take cover. Thankfully, Uncle Karl has already come up with a solution. Images: Vogue.com.
Girls, aren’t we all looking for one of these? Can’t you see him draping this coat around your shoulders when it gets cool? Could he be any cooler in it? Image courtesy of Burberry.
That sound you heard? Me. Fainting. You know about my affinity for Alaïa , ya? Well, these infinitely fed that need. Need. Them. Mr. Alaïa, will you be my shoe-gar daddy? Images: Netaporter.com.
This has to be the year of spectacular art, fashion and photography exhibitions. I have a running list of those I want to write about (not to mention, actually see!) but can’t seem to keep up with them all. You will see the inspiration slowly spill onto these virtual pages over the coming weeks and months. One [...]
There is perfection in life’s flaws. There is inherent beauty there. If you seek it. Increase your awareness. Raise your consciousness to new heights. Listen to your spirit – and heed it. Don’t turn your back on your inner voice – you will need it. Donna Karan had one of the most beautiful collections for [...]
First Bianca dangled the idea… Uma dabbled… Sonam hung on… …adding a handful of gems, in the end. I first saw the combination of green beads over white at Eina Ahluwalia’s show during Lakme Fashion Week. See more Cannes Déjà Vus. Read all Cannes 2011 posts. See all Déjà Vu moments. Images: 1.

Amongst the sea breezes and star-gazing, amongst the taking of toasts and teasing tresses, there were more than a handful of deja views from this distant observer, and perhaps even a singing mermaid or two. Settle in with your double espresso and tell me if you see what I see. There was much fuss over [...]
Jury members at Cannes are the hardest hit when it comes to haute couture – they need sooo much sartorial stuff for non-stop photo ops. Hong Kong über producer and 2011 jury member, Nansun Shi pulled off some very unique looks during Cannes – no easy feat with the international jet-set crowd and a gazillion [...]
Twelve days, hundreds of red carpets, thousands of photo ops – it’s bound to be tough on a girl’s toes. No wonder many starlets fancied flats on more than a few occasions during the Cannes Film Festival. And there is that hair adornment on the red carpet, again. Speaking of Rivieras, this woman knows a [...]
The Kate Moss and Terry Richardson collaboration vid I mentioned in Mango Season is now online. It’s a romp through the streets of Paris in the back of a van (get your mind out of ze gutter), where Ms. Moss decides what Mango ensemble to wear to the party. How do I get Kate’s haircut?
Why ride a train, when you can drape – or rather, be draped in luxurious fabric? There were more than a few drapery samples on the red carpet at Cannes this year. Here are a few that I peered out at, from my window on the world. But sorry ladies, the best draper was definitely… [...]
Go across boundaries and uncrate the notion that fashion is ripe for the picking. A British model took over a French landmark to launch her video collaboration with an American photographer for a Spanish retailer. How’s that for global jaw-droppage? Kate Moss was at the Centre Pompidou – along with the Miró and Kandinsky masterpieces [...]
