It’s getting hot where I am in Buenos Aires, but I know it’s getting cold where a lot of you are! Here’s a nice little warming flashback to Marc Jacob’s Fall 2010 collection…

Top Picks: Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2010

Sharon — Mon, 10 May 2010 17:34:05 +0000

Classic elegance in the Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2010 collection. Real art deco feel with the bold lines and shapes, and I’m a sucker for a mixture of textures – furs, tweeds, chiffon, satin, velvet, leather. Beautifully shot as well…

Hermes Fall 2010: Top Picks

Sharon — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:28:55 +0000

My favorites from the Hermes Fall 2010 ready-to-wear show. Plenty of lady fops and dandies, with leather replacing tweeds in a mildly fetish twist. Like British super-heroines in some post-apocalyptic London… very Avengers. These women clearly need to be driving this car. Animal print umbrellas, pocket watches, leather gloves, bowler hats and netting veils, what’s not to like?

Louis Vuitton Fall 2010: Top Picks

Sharon — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:20:19 +0000

With Marc Jacobs (*swoon*) at the helm, the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 ready-to-wear show was all about an unabashedly vintage silhouette. Balconette bosoms, wasp waists, lined 50s circle skirts, sweater girls, fur collars, bows, long gloves and clutches. Also so nice to see a retro-inspired collection trotted down the catwalk, without terrifying abstract makeup or surrealist hair, to ‘balance out the old-fashioned’. Of course, I would have preferred red lippie and pincurls, but the preppy ponytails and fresh-faced ingenue makeup is a welcome relief after some of the absurdist hair, makeup (and shoes) of the season. Here are my favourites:

Elie Saab Fall 2010: Top Picks

Sharon — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:25:09 +0000

My favorites from The Elie Saab Fall 2010 ready-to-wear show. Gathering and drapery in all the right places, a classic palette of black, charcoal and maroon,with splashes of black lace and fur thrown in. Very glamorous. And then there’s those sequinned gowns – oh god! Breathtaking, and those unusual cuts remind me of Wentworth gowns from the 1920s, and of this gown that Virgina Mayo wears while singing Daddy-O in A Song Is Born (1947).

Nina Ricci Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear: Top Picks

My favourites from the latest Nini Ricci show…

Elisa Palomino’s Fall 2010 collection

What a great looking show! The fabrics are gorgeous and I adore the backdrop! Not too sure about the enormous hair, but it certainly frames the clothing.

I want that sweater!
