Prada Lace

Spotted yesterday, a beautiful black lace skirt:

Heavy layered lace with thick piping around each flower. Not the typical lace you find on lingerie. The fabric appears to have patches of carpeting when viewed from afar.

Reminiscent of a past Prada collection? Upon seeing the lace, memories of Linda Evangelista’s ad campaign flooded my mind.

The Prada version is quite see-through, I’ll settle for this inexpensive alternative especially if the gold version retailed at $3,290.

Extra Long Sleeves

Not sure who this is – featured on Tommy Ton’s JAKANDJIL – photographed after Celine fall/winter 2010.

Long sleeves under a regular length sleeve. Provides warmth and the look of layering.

Effortless by Hanelli

I really enjoyed the photos Hanelli took post Valentino couture. This picture stood out the most.

Amazing blouse + blazer + shorts combo. I love the purple box print. Each item looks comfortable and chic at the same time.

Great look for pre-fall as the weather cools off. Probably best at 58F-65F.

Featured Versace – I Like

Rather than the traditional Versace monochrome mini dress, a more modern, fresh Versace look was placed in the Fall/Winter print ads.

The collection also features a wide array of very Versace flowy gowns, but I really like how they went a different direction with the sculpted and sliced dresses featured in the ads. The mini skirt length is still very Versace, but the sliced up patterns make this the freshest looking Versace collection in a long time.

The cloth looks a bit shiny from the pictures – a bit of 80′s geometric polyester.

Love the dark edgy black lace and chain-like necklace.

Madame Grès Modern

tforia — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 01:46:04 +0000

It’s hard to believe Madame Grès designs were made so long ago. Below is a pre-1950′s dress that looks comfortable and beautiful. The exaggerated pleating is made by sewing elastic onto the inside of the dress. The simple draping and pleating make the dress seem so simple and modern. Now on view at the Met Costume Institute exhibit, American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.

Terrible. Celebrity can’t buy you style.

Favorite Chanel Couture 2010

tforia — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:46:40 +0000

I loved most pieces from yesterday’s Chanel’s 2010 Couture collection. Here are my favorites (photos from Style.com):

Comfy business attire

How can I get this dress made for me? I love how it looks like they took an oversized dress with big shoulders fitted to this model.

I love black crepe/black translucent.

Zig zags in some of my favorite shades.

Half sleeve, but shoulderless.

Boots and jewelry, all so fantastic!
