Sep 26, 2013 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien You know how Parisian woman have that effortless look of elegance? That I-just-woke-up-looking-this-great style?

Feb 5, 2013 | Contributor: Annalisa Solari In order for a ready-to-wear collection to be successful, it has to ring true to its name and actually be wearable. The difficulty with this (especially when it comes to menswear) is that your average guy— no matter how style-savvy he claims to be— is not going to be caught parading around with anything that screams "fashion." Attaining the disheveled-chic look is far more difficult than one would guess, however, luxury designer Christophe Lemaire has successfully created a diverse range of men’s pieces that can be worn day-to-day and combine quiet style with comfort....

Jan 29, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh If ever there were an enchanted forest in real life, it was the one seen at last week’s Chanel show held at the Grand Palais in Paris, at which designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Couture collection for the luxury brand. Actual trees and shrubbery were shipped in one-by-one to the venue at which Lagerfeld has presented in the past. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was apparently the inspiration for the show, and the actual collection is just as fascinating as the set itself....

Jan 25, 2013 | Contributor: Annalisa Solari | 1 Comment Have you ever really stopped to think about the presentation of plants? Well, probably not, but not everyone thinks in the same fashion as the luxury designer of top design house Dior, Raf Simons. As Simons so shrewdly noted, there is a major difference between mere flora and manicured gardens. This distinction led the designer to allow artificial colors and nature-inspired shapes appear throughout the collection with a show premise that was said by Simons to be inspired by “the very idea of spring.”...

Jan 22, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh Luxury designer Karl Lagerfeld made quite the statement today on the tails of a recent march in Paris that protested French president Francois Hollande's plan to legalize gay marriage. Such a statement was made at Lagerfeld's haute couture show for Chanel, during which the fashion maven sent two models hand-in-hand down the runway wearing couture bridal gowns. The pair of models, who walked with one of the designer's young nephews, closed out the long-awaited show that occurred as a part of Paris Fashion Week. To make himself clear, when asked by the Associated Press if the act was made in support of gay marriage in France, Lagerfeld replied, "Of course it was."... Read More |
Jan 22, 2013 | Contributor: Nicolle Keogh It may be the dead of winter, but those interested in luxury fashion can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Spring Couture is finally here, and none other than Atelier Versace helped kick off the season by presenting in Paris Fashion Week’s opening slot on Sunday. In her Couture collection, Donatella Versace proves that all that glitter actually is gold— thanks to the designer’s affinity with the particular material. But her collection truly transcends eras, as proven by a sudden pop of color in an initial sea of sophisticated black and gold.... Read More |
