Djuna Paris Fall 2009

highsnobette-djunaparis

Djuna Paris is a basics line filled with super modern yet lady like pieces. The look is almost confusing, as if the two aesthetics couldn’t possibly meet up. But they do and brilliantly. Personally, I love this aesthetic, and while it’s not an always easy to pull off it is definitely appealing to the eye.

Basso & Brooke Fall 2009

27 March 2009, 18.41 | Posted in Fashion | 1 comment »

highsnobette-basso & brooke f 09

Basso & Brooke are known for their over the top and at times mind boggling prints. Digitally made, this seasons the prints focused on anything from the era of Louis XIV including actual architecture from the palace Versailles. More often than not with this line it’s hard to tell what you are even looking at, making the fabrics somewhat of an optical illusion. Which causes many people to stop and stare, somewhat of a hazard when wearing Basso & Brooke but  with fashion isn’t that always the point?

guiness Introducing: LINT by Colleen McCann

Colleen McCann created LINT as a hair accessory collection with the intent of being “the first modern day hair jeweler” the collection has since then evolved to also  include fabulous earpices like the Guiness above . With fashion’s new emphasis on individual style and the rise of “boho-chic” ,I  think that  LINT by Colleen McCann is on the right track!

A closer look at The Noblesse Collection by LINT, inspired by the most notorious and eccentric noble women throughout history. Beautiful styling and photography!

Robin Givhan Mad at Harem Pants

haremfront Robin Givhan Mad at Harem Pants

Before & After: take out the shiney fabric and coordinated missing-torso top and not much has changed!

Fashion is the ultimate expression of history repeating itself. As such you’d be heard-pressed to find a fashion show review that doesn’t include a reference to a 20th century decade that the writer believes inspired the collection. In commenting on the current return-to-’80s fashion craze to New York magazine, Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan probably deeply hurt MC hammer when she stated emphatically, “I don’t think the world needs MC Hammer pants ever, ever again.” Ever! And by the way, she aint so high on acid-wash either. I’m with you Robin. Hammer pants should have died with harems; all that extra fabric just make no damn sense. If I want ill-fitting bottoms, I’ll buy a pair of pantyhose one size to small, thanks very much!

Matthew Williamson Fall '09 Runway via Style

Matthew Williamson Fall '09 Runway via Style

Camilla Skovegaard , born in Denmark  was brought  to Dubai by a french couture house to design for the Gulf’s Sheiks and their wives ( can you imagine, the glamour?)  Later on she also designed for the late president H. H. Sheik Zayed Al Nahyan . She launched her collection in 2006 where she designs the shoes and oversees production from drawing board to sample approvals in one of the  best factories in north  Italy.

 Camilla Skovegaard, get my kudos  for not only being one of the very few women shoe designers, but also for being able to channel my shoe passions once more in her footwear designs for Matthew Williamson’s Autumn/Winter ‘09 collection. Zebra print stilettos with neon pink soles, need I say more.

A closer look at my fave  Camilla Skovegaard’s designs for Spring/Summer 2009  on the next page.

Daniel Palillo Cropped Top

bellyshirt1 Daniel Palillo Cropped Top

In fashion’s  continual infatuation with  the 80’s we’ve seen a love or hate relationship with  the return of harem pants , saruouel or hammer pants.   Cropped tops were also de rigueur , in these days if you reall. Although I have not seen many versions yet, something tells me that, we might see a lot cropped tops very soon. Daniel  Palillo’s  take is one of the best/fun  I’ve seen so far. Available at Welcomehuntersla.

Lily Allen Getting All Womanly

lilyfront Lily Allen Getting All Womanly

I posted an image from Lily Allen’s Bust magazine photo shoot yesterday and commented that she looked “sort of hot, right?” I used the qualifier “sort of,” to be honest, ’cause I’ve always seen Lily as being adorable, but in a very girlish sort of way. Seeing her as sexy almost seems, I don’t know, wrong! But clearly Ms. Allen, who is shown here at a recent London performance, is showing a more mature side lately, going from vampy fun girl to grown-ass vixen right before our very eyes!  P.S. I love the distressed denim track shorts she’s wearing in these images! P.S.S. In the images after the flip, she’s wearing a cropped leather jacket, which you can buy a similar facsimile (it’s faux leather) from Urban for probably a lot less than Lily paid.
