>> When Frida Giannini is asked how she first got interested in fashion — whether it was through music or otherwise — she replies in the new issue of Interview: "I always loved the look of musicians. I’ve always admired them because they have a look — when I was growing up, it seemed that the ones I liked didn’t need to have a stylist. Now there is this trend where everyone has a stylist, or follows the suggestions of a stylist, from designers on down. But I have some memories of looking at David Bowie in the ’70s, and he had this look that was so authentic and original, which I think is more genuine in a way for a musician, and also very intriguing from the designer’s point of view." Also learned: Giannini owns 8,000 vinyl records. [Interview]
The Softer Side of Colorblock
>> Colorblock has appeared on dozens of designers' runways for the last three seasons, but it's not all about Mondrian-style squares and hard-lined panels. As Carey Mulligan proved in a skin-baring Roksanda Ilincic frock at Comic-Con last week — and Karolina Kurkova attested earlier this month in a sweep of Sophie Theallet — the trend can be sweetly feminine and softly sexy as well. From Gucci's artfully-draped Spring 2011 versions to the Fall 2011 Grecian styles on offer from Carlos Miele and Costello Tagliapietra, here's a look at the softer side of colorblock.
Celeb Style: Anna Paquin
Anna Paquin looked scorching hot while posing with hubby Stephen Moyer at the True Blood panel at Comic-Con in San Diego. Anna donned a body-hugging Antonio Berardi mini with perforated Gucci platforms. Her gray smoky eye kicked up the rock-chic appeal, while her wavy up-do showcased the dress's futuristic collar. We finished off Anna's killer ensemble with a leather box clutch and nude nail polish. Copy this look with similar items here.
