Fashion’s Many Faces
Rajesh Pratap Singh also did a wonderful face-printed jacket for his FW09 collection. Chado Ralph Rucci showed gorgeous skin-printed dresses for SS10. Fashion isn’t faceless, after all. Arora image: TFS.

Investment Dressing
I know I’m an autumn girl, but I may already be invested in Spring/Summer 2012, thanks to Ms. Demeulemeester, who showcased her collection today during Paris Fashion Week. How she manages to layer and level pieces leaves me speechless, each season. It’s an intricate stream of thoughts and painstaking process, executed with precision. These are [...]
Rise Above
Sometimes, a girl needs to rise above the reptilian creatures under foot and literally lift her spirits. It’s so hard to find a shoe with an elongated toe anymore. The real ones make a point at every corner.
In Transition
When the seasons are changing, one foot is in the haze of summer while the other recalls the crunch of autumn leaves beneath its sole. Well, you weathered soul can have solace, while in transition. I thought these Jonathan Saunders skirts and velvet sandals were a perfect way to bid adieu to the warmth of summer [...]
Pull Up Your Socks
Dear designers: Can we stop with the heels and little socks already? This is not doing anyone any good. Image: Vogue.com.
Rise from Swan Lake
Mr. Deacon may have had his swan song with the House of Ungaro, after only two seasons…but the swans soared on the Giles runway during his SS12 show at London Fashion Week. There is poetry in motion and poetency in poetry. Image: Elle.com.
Déjà Vu: Twin Peaks Twins
Were Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle separated at birth? Images: 1. Kevin Winter for Getty Images; 2. IMDB.
Ozmosis
There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. And in case you’ve forgotten, home is where the shoe closet is. I’m always at home in a pair of heels. Flats feel so foreign… Image: Elle.com.
Emmys 2011: Booby Trapped
There were a lot of…restrictions on the Emmy Red Carpet this year. Straps, single and double scoops, one-shouldered slings and yards of tape held things together. If there are so many stylists in Hollywood, why are they dressing everyone the same – regardless of age, personality and style? It’s all getting very silly from my [...]
Emmys 2011: Neutralized
Some went for it in red. More opted for unbasic black. Others got the blues. These ladies remained neutral. Drew’s dress, along with Lena Headey’s, were my two favourites of the night. My rule for ruling the red carpet? If you are lucky enough to go - go for it. See all 2011 Emmys posts. [...]
Emmys 2011: I’ve Got Blues For You
I’ve got news for you. There was another colour that dominated the Red Carpet at the Emmys last night – in my eyes, anyway. Varying hues of blue stood out amongst the nude, red and black numbers, too many of that trio to count. Canadian chick, Cobie Smulders went Italian chic in bright turquoise Alberta [...]
Emmys 2011: Unbasic Black
Red seemed to be the colour to be in, on the Emmys Red Carpet this year. However, many starlets opted to paint it black – with a little extra oomph, of course. A little sparkle, a little woo-hoo, I-see-through, and the black becomes un-boring. Evan Rachel Wood, for one, cleaned up nicely for her nom [...]
Emmys 2011: Déjà Vintage
Jennifer Westfeldt wore vintage to last night’s Emmy Awards. Given the length of her hair, the golden waves and the ’50s vintage gown, I couldn’t help having a déjà vu. While it isn’t quite the same dress, it’s from the same decade, the same colour and Ms. Westfeldt accessorized it very similarly. Both are beautiful [...]
Emmys 2011: Simply Best Dressed
Another red carpet under our bejewelled belts, my dears. More frou and froth, more nude numbers and lips (!) and alas, many more prom dresses. But amidst the crumpets, I heard trumpets. Hark, are those ladies I see approaching? Indeed. Ladies that need not wait for their shining moment (or knight in shining Armani). It [...]
Stirred Up
I’ve been watching the Spring/Summer 2012 shows with one eye. The other is firmly on FW11, because the cool September breezes have me thinking about what I want to wear you know, right now. But I always have a view on next season’s story – whether I am ready to tell the tale or not. [...]
