Georgina Chapman… MVP

lipstick — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 18:43:27 +0000

I am just going to go ahead and say it… Georgina Chapman (designer of Marchesa and wife of Harvey Weinstein) is officially my girl crush! I assisted Roxanne Lowit on a photo story chronicling her moves before and day of the 2012 Oscars. I watched as she elegantly fit Stacy Keibler in her Marchesa gown. She was gracious and gorgeous. Well spoken and polite. On day 2 I steamed her Amaze-balls dress and helped her pick which clutch to wear for the carpet. She captivates the room so quietly. So this is my gushing love letter to my new hero. Do you see what I see?

L.A.M.B

lipstick — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:08:57 +0000

We arrived so early to the L.A.M.B presentation we actually spent more time hanging out BEFORE the start than for the actual main event!! It was that 1960′s feel we all know so well. Models wore a bump (nearly a bee-hive) and posed before a collage of Twiggy and Edie clad images reminiscent of Worhol’s hayday. SNORE. Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE those images. The inspiration is unarguable ,but, this was SO phoned in. Gwen didn’t even show up. The 3rd model came out before the music even started. VERY unprofessional. We left before the 6th look.

But dont Roxanne and I look CUTE!!

My new obsession.. Giulietta

lipstick — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:44:16 +0000

Before I left LA to NYC someone asked me “What shows are you most looking forward to seeing at NYFW?” my response was visceral it flowed from me almost without thought… “The one I don’t know about yet. The new designer I have never heard of who surprises me with some wow.”

Giulietta delivered! Sofia Sizzi only debuted this collection 1 year ago, and already I will name her the one to watch.

The collection inspired by the Visconti film The Leopard, staring our FAVORITE handsome and strapping 1960′s crush Alain Delon, is feminine with a genius color palate of browns, corals, grays, and breezy light blues.

Backstage the designer told me “this collection is special” – I agree, Sofia.

My shitty blackberry photos do not do it justice.. please go to style.com to really enjoy.

Alexander Wang was the HOT TIX.

Fashion’s darling Alexander Wang’s F12 collection said “shut up” without uttering a word.

Many of the girls wore mesh turtle necks pulled up over their mouths…. LOVE!!!!

And for his big wow moment he brought back the super models of yesteryear Shalom Harlow and of today Mrs Tom Brady (pictured below).

VPL .. client we LOVE

lipstick — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:26:44 +0000

As you know VPL has been our client for coming up on a year now, and, one of my favorites because of the fashion forward way designer Victoria Bartlett incorporates shapes with drapes (yes, thank you, I just made that up) Constructed yet flowing.

Here is a look I snapped at the NYFW F12 show

ALI BARONE … YOU BAD GIRL

lipstick — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 21:20:45 +0000

September since I last posted? For SHAME!! Life has been so overwhelmingly busy I have not found the energy to post. My dear friend Jane Reardon says :” I live my life.. I don’t post it” Words I have been living by.

So, the question is.. do I fill in the blank past 6 months of living with a post or start fresh with today. Fashion has the attention span of a goldfish so the fear of posting what is no longer fresh is a big no-no. But hell- I have based my entire life on no-no’s so- I shall post whatever the F I feel like. ha.

NYFW F12 was the most thrilling for me yet. It started with Rag and Bone and ended with Chris Benz. And, in that meaty sandwich – Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, DVF, VPL, and my new obsession Giulietta!! (more about this one later)
Here is a shot of me backstage at L.A.M.B photo by Roxanne Lowit

Nail Lust

A long long time ago… oh let’s just say approximately 6 maybe 7 incarnations ago, while in Japan I found perfection in nail adoration… MATTE nail polish. This trend JUST made it stateside and I am obsessed all over again.

Gaze upon …

They look coated in matte satin fabric.
