E2 designers Michele & Olivier Chatenet use vintage fabrics to create tops and dresses, which are silky, sexy and sophisticated. In other words, everything that is most delicious about French fashion. Available at Colette.

Amsterdamn-based, fashion house Viktor & Rolf puts its own very special stamp on the hybrid gladiator/bootie profile for Spring 2010. You can’t see it so well in this image, but the stamp on the side of the shoe is what puts it over the top. Good for those nights when you’re sick of taking everyone’s b.s. Pair these heels with a black hoodie and a sullen face and let people know you’re not as nice as they think you are.

Colette’s web store is now carrying some of  Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2009 line of  handbags. Small clutches and coin purses make up the lot of silk leopard print pieces where details include bows, sequins, and bead work. Head designer for Lanvin, Alber Elbaz never ceases to amaze and dazzle and these bags are no exception. Every detail was thought out and the quality is top notch, making the high price tags a little easier to swallow.

More pieces from the collection after the jump.

Colette has brought us a few pieces from Jean-Charles De Castelbajac’s endearing collection titled  “J-C in the sky with Diamonds”.  A sequin dress, pumps, and two polo tees are blatantly inspired by childhood friend Mickey Mouse. The  shoes even come complete with the Disney character’s signature little black nose and tail, a conversation piece for sure!

Alexis Mabille s/s 2009 runway

Being the eldest girl of Caribbean parents, I can assure you that I have worn bows on pretty much every part of my anatomy without exagerrating . Bows/ribbons in the hair to match the dress with a bow at the collar,  a bow at the waist,  bows in front of the shoes , on the side  of lace socks. You get the picture.

After struggles and discussions they( the bows)  gradually left my hair at 13 and subsequently left my wardrobe fully at about 16.  Needless to say they (the bows) have scarred me somehow and caused me to develop a subtle aversion to gratuitous girlishness that  to me equate to bows.

Alexis Mabille deserves an award for creating sandals with bows that were able to tranform my aversion to admiration.  Available at Colette.

Take a look at more colette x Barbie 50th anniversary product after the jump.

Barbie as some of you might know already, is celebrating her 50th birthday. For the occasion there will be a Barbie And Ken exhibition taking place at Colette in Paris, and the dolls were dressed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld. From March 9th until March 15th, Colette will also have special Barbie window displays!

In my eyes Chloe Sevigny can do no wrong. One of my favorite actresses and style inspirations, I find her choices to be really courageous. Her latest collaboration with Opening Ceremony showed at London Fashion week and it’s no exception to Chloe’s eclectic aesthetic. The unisex line has teamed up with Bass to expand the collection from RTW to footwear, now including saddle shoe boots, gladiator style wedge sandals, and loafers.  Expect lots of over-sized pieces good for layering including accessories, such as scarves, that had a large part on the overall look. The use of materials such as moleskin and tweed had a very Sherlock Holmes kind of feel to it. Prices start at just $95 and the collection will be available at Opening Ceremony, Colette, Dover Street Market, and Barneys.
