Among Stella McCartney's model friends to attend her Paris store opening was the ferocious Sasha Pivovarova. While most guests wore head-to-toe black, Sasha went against the grain by wearing a bright purple wrap dress. She hardened the look with layered chain necklaces and a jeweled headband. I commend Sasha for breaking free from cookie-cutter ways. We can all use a bit of that model confidence!

Sizzling Sasha's at it again. The popular model is featured in Vogue UK's January issue looking Parisian punk in an array of polka dots and sequins. The editorial spread titled "Word On The Street" has Pivovarova in crazy leggings, badass sequin blazers, and funky footwear. My fave? The plethora of leather and lace fingerless gloves, of course.

Did you by any chance watch Gucci's 2009 Resort collection, held at Villa Aurelia in Rome, via live webcast? If not, I'm here as your eyes for the show, which celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Gucci store in Rome.
So what does one serve up for a 70th anniversary? Nothing but grandness all around. Parts of it were very Gucci – slick, sexy — but it also incorporated a glamorous bohemian style with long, flowy maxi dresses, each with a unique print. Striped pants, leather jackets, pleated mini dresses, and some hints of nautical also saw their time on the catwalk. While ultragirlie maxi dresses painted a very feminine picture, in contrast, crisp trousers demanded a mannish power; this incorporation of two extremes is becoming quite common in fashion. And why not? It's set to appeal to all types of customers. Brava!
