He's been at Nina Ricci a very short time, but Olivier Theysken's designs for the label have already been caught up in a whirlwind of hype - I'm thinking of the deal Anna Wintour's golden boy brokered with Reese Witherspoon for this year's award season, for instance. For Cruise, Olivier carries over the blustery bluish-grey color scheme from his Fall 2007 Nina Ricci collection, as well as that Read more

Nothing comes between me and my Calvins - not this time, anyway! Francisco Costa did a wonderful job once again for Calvin Klein - the dresses are very body-conscious - yet minimal, the suits look comfy and well-cut, and the swimwear, well, there's one that's totally retro and cute! But most of all, the thing I love about this collection is the colors. The aquas, greys, beiges and whites Read more

You can't go wrong with black and white - that seems to be what Frida Giannini kept telling herself when she was designing the Gucci cruise collection. Because black and white the collection was, in all patterns, shapes, and forms.

There are plenty of fitted suits, floppy hats, party dress, and polka dots to go around. I think my favorite look has to be this coral taffeta ruffled number, left, which is surprisingly similar to a J. Crew dress that I've had my Read more

The Chanel Line has taken off and boy do I wish I were in flight. Karl presented a youthful Resort collection of colorful Chanel duds to the top of female Hollywood society and it looks like there is plenty to go around. A mix of satin, stripes, sequins, tweed and denim gave way to a sometimes utilitarian sometimes completely feminine collection. I love it when Karl uses color and his reds, Read more

The great John Galliano revealed his Cruise 2008 collection for Christian Dior on Monday night at 7 World Trade Center in New York City. Talk about lots and lots of color and glitz! Waify but always beautiful models strutted down the crisp white runway in Indian-inspired tunics and jeweled head pieces. Others wore Palm Springsy glammed up taffeta and chiffon frocks, bustier-like bikinis, fitted Read more
