Freaky or Fabulous? Giles's Spring Spiders
For his Spring '10 runway show at Paris Fashion Week, Giles Deacon delivered a colorful and quirky collection filled with prom-inspired dresses, metallic pants, and see-through gowns. However, it was the abundance of creepy, crawly spiders that induced my fear. Indeed, I suffer from slight arachnophobia (although I guess I don't mind daddy longlegs, they eat other bugs, right?).
A Pre-Fall Preview, Part III
Who loves Pre-Fall? I do, I do! This time, I'm showing you fabulous frocks from the likes of Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier, Nicole Miller, Naeem Khan, Giles, Vera Wang, and Badgley Mischka.
Freaky or Fabulous? Giles's Pac-Women
While my girls in London wrap up their own Fashion Week, Giles — someone I've always had my eye on — sent rather tame, graphic designs down his runway. But what wasn't tame was the Pac-Man-inspired massive head gear. So it's a bit distracting from the shift dresses and draped black gown, it's super fun.
Spring Peek: Luster Addict
Metallics have been around the block and back. I'm glad to see them taking on new forms and becoming more fluid and romantic. Marni (pictured) presents the perfect juxtaposition of luster and crispness — a thoroughly modern combination.
Giles One-Shoulder Mini Dress: Love It or Hate It?
Has going to jail become so glamorous that designers are making clothes inspired by prisoners' outfits? That's what it seems with Giles One-Shoulder Mini Dress (on sale for $2,048, originally $4,095). I do love the combo of black and white, but this is a little too similar to the real thing...well, minus the one-shoulder effect.
Trend Alert: Special Runway Edition! Plumage
I am in a trend alert lull. Don't get me wrong - there are always enough trends to go around. But you see, we're at this point in the season where the Summer sales are dwindling down but we're being romanced by the new collections in the glossy mags - though items are not yet fully in stores.
Fall Glimpse: Texturize It
The future is upon us. Fabric innovations have brought fresh and interesting textures to the runways. Upon the streamlined shapes of Fall, these complex and high-tech fabrics, like heat-fused wool-and-silk blends, glazed mohair knits, full on plumage, and glossy treatments, outshined some of the silhouettes (and the models!).
