disco 2 We are the Hellers Disco Dresses

I always wished  I around when it was all about disco,  gold,  Halston and sequins. The Hellers  duo  revisited the era with an assortment of disco-inspired dresses  that are simple enough to even rock in the daytime.

balenciaga 1 Balenciaga Autumn/Winter 09 First Look

Style has not posted these yet but French Vogue has a first look at Balenciaga’s Autumn/Winter ‘09 collection.  I don’t know if Nicholas Ghesquiere was told to tone it down, but I expected him to transport me to some imaginary sexy sci-fi land.  The best looks  so far seem to be these cocktail-themed  suits with satin pants and jackets with a great draping detail.  No close-up of the shoes yet,  no boots ??  We’ll definitely feature more of this label we heart a lot.

Kanye on Amber Alert

amberfront Kanye on Amber Alert

Kanye finally found a companion capable of generating as much buzz as him. And it’s not just the short shorts and cropped top, check out her amazing heels.  I am looking forward to the upcoming fashion show this woman is sure to provide! Still, given Ye’s love of the limelight, I can’t help but wonder how long he’ll tolerate this interloper stealing all his thunder. It doesn’t help that they don’t seem to have much to talk about. In fact, I defy you to find a photo of them where they are even talking, much less caking it up and flirting.

Barbara I Gongini is a Nordic designer based in Denmark. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity  to view her collection and I wanted every single item, as they all have a very experimental  edge, that is  both wearable and well crafted. The perfect mix.

Spain based Beach Couture’s Spring /Summer  2009 collection makes perfect sense as they have been able translate , sexy,  dark and  urban into vacation/beach friendly apparel.  Although their Spring /Summer 2008 was design-wise a lot sexier this is pretty good.  A closer look on the next page.

Highsnobette-torres in color

Glasgow based designer Rebecca Torres brings us Torres in Color, a line filled with stretchy, curve hugging pieces in fearlessly, bold colors.  The overall aesthetic is very sexy and in your face. The words “va va voom” come to mind. I’m a big fan of her use of color blocking and geometric shapes.

Be sure to hit up the jump for lots more from Torres in Color
