L’Wren Scott Retrospective

L’Wren Scott is one of my favorite labels. Lots of figure-hugging pencil skirts, autumn color palettes and vintage details. I also feel like this label is a little more down-to-earth. I don’t just lust after all these dresses, I really would wear them, and these are looks I could realistically create, unlike the looks that some fashion houses put on the catwalk. Here’s my top picks of the last three years, in my opinion getting better and better with each season…

Carlo Pieroni and his Pin-ups

Carlo Pieroni was born in Florence, Italy. His work is a combination of photography and digital manipulation where he “paints” each image to create a timeless vision of femininity, always on the borderline between reality and fantasy, where the woman is never an object but the driving subject of a highly calibrated seduction game.
