Fashion Week Favorites: Michael Kors
Michael Kors
Season after season I love Michaels Kors variation on the same theme: fabulous little rich girl. All fans of project runway, know that on the show the term "expensive" gets thrown around quite a bit. I presume, it's because Kors himself indulges in the aesthetic of "the expensive". Casual, everyday wear is not his forte, or at least not in the way that we usually think of it. The collection isn't made for hurried soccer mom, but for the lavish-living uptown mother of 2.
Bits and Pieces of Versace
Rihanna graces the cover of this month's Cosmopolitan magazine outfitted in one of Versace's trademark vibrant and sexy creations.
Though Donatella and team endure lots of criticism for the overtly sexual nature of Versace's line and ads (hello Giselle). There's a reason why their couture gowns are among those most worn my celebs on the red carpet. With tailoring this impeccable and silhouettes this flattering how could you resist? Here is Versace's Spring 2008 Couture collection. What do you think?
Just Note: The first look is my favorite.
Oh and here's a little bit of designer gossip: Reportedly, those stunning red-soled heels that Giselle is sporting in the new Versace ads are not Louboutins, and they'll be sold later this season under the Versace name. It seems as though the brand's marketers are eager to capitalize on the Louboutin fervor. Tres Scandalous!
Rodarte Chooses Unusual Footwear
Thought studded accessories were officially dead after a year of overexposure? Apparently, Rodarte and Christian Louboutin don't agree. In the avant-garde designer's collection Msr. Louboutin created an original line of stilettos outfitted in unusual accoutrements like zippers and studs.
Click here to view the rest of the Rodarte Fall '08 Collection which appeals to my editorially minded senses, however the entire collection is completely impractical. But hey, maybe that's your thing.
Update: Whoops, these shoes are from Rodarte's S/S '08 Collection, though the labels latest line features funky Louboutin's as well.
