oh, my. these chloé pumps certainly are most gorgeous. with a stacked 4 1/2" heel you'll be head and shoulders above the crowd, but with a wee little peep-toe and cutouts all along the shoe, these shoes are out of sight. these are just out and out sexy - not blatant, not over-the-top, but most certainly sexy. yow. how do i call them mine???
you know, erin fetherston seems to have that certain something, that certain sense of whimsy, a gloss of parisian chic and a humourous sophistication about her designs, that you cannot help but love it. at least, that's my take on it. in my mind, her collections are simply charming...
a lovely mix of milky blue and fierce red beads, make this art-deco 'apollo' pendant something that i most definitely wouldn't object to having myself. not one bit, i'm just saying...
and into the real world it goes: balenciaga gets translated on the red carpet by the lovely, and almost always sartorially courageous, jennifer connelly:
cathy horyn makes a point and declares her choice for the collection of the season. a surprise, to be sure...

and what, after the onslaught of new york, london, milan and paris, was the key statement for next spring?
i'm out of sorts with the first cold i've had in years. my head feels as if it could pop off and fly away at any given moment, and well, i'm just not at my best. so, a pictorial review of the last few days in paris:
lanvin (which wholly delighted me) ~
miu miu (which amused me) ~
nina ricci (which left me a bit perplexed) ~
louis vuitton (which i will refrain from commenting on) ~
hermes s/s 2008 ~
john galliano s/s 2008 ~
what a different girl chloé has become.
no longer the bohemian, she has turned into the modernist. which invariably means, i like her that much more. with a hint of marni, which isn't a surprise, given paulo melim's tenure with the house, and a fresh new outlook, chloé is a stronger, less agreeable girl. a girl i can get along with.
i did not expect to adore the kenzo s/s 2008 collection as much i did and do. the exuberance of colour, the playfulness of the clothes, the use of fabric and the loose, pretty cut of the pieces just made me smile. again and again.
fast becoming a favourite of mine, sonia rykiel's shows always seem to be the most fun. the girls are told to smile, to smile! and the skinny girls dancing in their light as air frocks at the end, well, that is always a good time.

in tribute to issie blow and a return to tailoring, alexander mcqueen ~
has the kaiser gone all american on us?
chanel s/s 2008 ~
castelbajac's s/s 2008 - modern day cleopatras ~
quickly becoming a favourite of mine, in the sense that his pieces are completely unattainable, but so beautifully made and wonderful to look at.
giambattista valli s/s 2008 ~
(oh, how that second looks just kills me. love it!)
Stumble It!
