This bags are realized in soft leather and some models are characterized by the particular cannage work of the French fashion house.

High heels have always had a sensual appeal, and a synonymous to femininity. This season, different to the “normal” heels, we find some really architectonic highnesses. Plateau, stilettos, chunky heels and wedge heels appear to be created simply to challenge our sense of vertigo!
Subtle and curved towards the sole is the icon heel of Roger Vivier, global evergreen when it comes to stilettos. Miu Miu on the other hand goes for bamboo this spring/summer collection 2009, where pumps with maxi platform and heel made in cork are found. This last material can be find as well in the Christian Dior heels combined with shinny colours.
Definitely more rock and rule-breaking the style signed Gucci and the no famous Iman sandals, half stiletto half gladiator sandal. Super plateau for Giuseppe Zanotti and for Prada and its platform sandals in raffia.
Gucci made it safari wild for their s/s Ad Campaign, with khaki shades mixed with ocean blue, purple and red. Models striking particular poses in a place looking like the jungle, with big leafs, grass and warm sun rays infiltrating through the tree limbs.
The Gucci s/s collection is fresh and polished. The contrast between the delicate sheer kaftans and tunics and the more strict safari jackets and blazers creates together a great atmosphere.
Among these wonderful creations I must mention the fabulous Iman triple strap sandals with their tremendously high heel and plateau, seen on various celebrities such as Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen and Drew Barrymore. A true success this spring/summer, and an absolute must have!
One of the Italian brand’s so called icons is the Jackie bag. Designed and created originally in the fifties this bag soon became Jacqueline Onassis’ favourite accessory, there for the name Jackie.
The original and modern bag in its first version, has maintained its peculiar shape, with rounded angles, half moon shape and the cylindrical handles. Now simply richer, with even more astonishing details, such as the tassels with bamboo details, the seams, now in various dimensions and in a new and softer structure. We find the Gucci Jackie bag in a gorgeous red colour, brown leather Guccissima and as well in GG Crystal fabric.
In the menswear department we find a truly elegant and sophisticated handbag in GG fabric (see picture), which can both be carried in the hand and as a shoulder bag. With white and light brown leather stripes in the middle the bag is particular and original, perfect for a man who knows the significance of stylishness.

A trend to adopt is the bohemian style which of course can be modified after taste…It can easily be made chic and casual or more relaxed with a hippie touch. How ever this season floral prints are very trendy and since they are so gorgeous lets see how to use them!
Maxi dresses are a great way to achieve that chic bohemian look. The Roberto Cavalli s/s collection has a lot of them. Like the vividly multicoloured Roberto Cavalli maxi dress seen on the photo.

Big sunglasses and colourful tunics and shirts are must haves to catch the relaxed and free look, see the Emilio Pucci s/s collection for insipiration. Emilio Pucci who’s known for his colour is a great inspiration source!

A third way to combine purple is with gold or silver accessories. Which creates a really mysterious and seductive look perfect for a glamorous summer night party!
For example Alberta Ferretti’s S/S collection has a couple of amazing purple creations. Long dresses as well as shirts with soft flounces. For example this plum coloured drape chiffon dress seen in the middle on the photo above. Or purple Alberta Ferretti trousers also seen on the photo above…

If you desire a more chic or stronger look mix up the creamy colours with one strong colour, but of course a colour you’ve already used. Like a luminous shoe or bag.

Spring/summer 2009 is full of asymmetry. This year is not supposed to be structured but totally freaked out, in other words asymmetrical!
Try to stick it in as much as possible, there’s many ways to be irregular. Well of course there’s the one-shoulder trend, with the one -shoulder dresses, one-shoulder blouses and so on. That’s a great way to reach the result. A perfect example is this white sophisticated one-shoulder Versace dress. With one or perhaps two shoulders bare you get the right seductive look, especially at night. To emphasis the sensual look you should invest in one-shoulder cut out dresses, so even more parts of your body gets bare and gives you a strong feminine look!
Besides the one shoulder dresses there’s a lot of other ways to be uneven, for instant a huge detail on one part of the dress, a big ribbon on just one side of the body creates an unbalanced touch, perfect this spring.

This popular type of shoe, now a must have accessory, is destined to become a trend as regards also this spring fashion season.
Many prestigious designers, like in this case Gucci, Christian Dior or Fendi proposed us different versions to suit all consumers tastes.
That one by Gucci fashion house for its sportive and strong soul catch the attention of many fashion addicts . The glamorous and elegant lines of this pair of shoes are emphasized by the predominant presence of golden studs the characteristic element of this winter Gucci collection.
These Christian Dior boots belong to the cannage collection. Even in this case Christian Dior doesn’t live up its reputation as a refined fashion house. The pair of boots in question are in a total black patent-leather with a high stiletto hell that gives a more elegant touch at this accessory.
Fendi shows us the perfect compromise between the two previous options.

For one of the most important fashion events of this new year, the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, two wonderful actresses Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz opt for an Armani outfit. The famous and prestigious Italian fashion house as always didn’t fall short of people’s expectations. The style of Giorgio Armani also this time fascinated all the people attending the event and not only them!
Penelope Cruz chooses a long, cream-colored and close fitting dress belonging to the Armani Privé collection. The sober and sophisticated mise chosen by Penelope is a real masterpiece on her.
That one chosen by Anne Hathaway, it also belongs to the Armani Privè collection . The long, sophisticated and Paris blue colored dress is really rich, the bustier is all covered by small, shining Swarovski crystals that make it a perfect example of haut couture. The full and pleated skirt emphasizes the beauty of this precious evening dress.
The hot season is coming and with her also the new spring-summer collections and also their respective advertising campaigns. Tepid breezes make we think about sun, sea and hot. The consequence is an inevitably change in our clothing style: cloths became more and more lighter, more vivid colors and rich patterns in general these are the main changes. Here there are the most attractive.
The Versace campaign, of witch Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen are testimonials, is as always sober, chic and fresh. The models are immortalized wearing a black or white mini-dress, they seem be ready for a disco part. The choice of the location clashes with the two models mise, they are on the sea, maybe on a ship. The result of this monothematic background is a major focus on the beautiful clothes and accessories.
Belanciaga brand chooses a more unusual and disquieting background. The improbable location is dark and three-dimensional, it seems to be the set of a modern video game also the models, Elsa Sylvan and Hanne Gaby Odiele seem to be surreal characters of a virtual world. Their stern poses, their marked features and the strong style of the clothes and accessories better stress this surreal atmosphere.
Gucci new “Exotic” collection is set in an exotic and foliated jungle. Models seem to be at their leisure, they seem explorers in a virgin forest. They are wearing colorful and practical clothes that are also up-to-date for the color but also for the style, whose simplicity is reduced thanks the use of showy accessories, like for example big belts, golden bracelets and precious python-skin bags.
The trendy and beautiful Reese Witherspoon was photographed wearing as always an impeccable and very cool style.
In this picture she show us a perfect rock-chic-style, she is wearing a pair of dark and close-fitting jeans, they are really up to date as also the glossy-black evening jacket.
The serious effect of the jacket is reduced by the choice of a John Galliano stylized printed t-shirt that gives a more witty touch at all the mise.
The chic final effect is given by the hat, a real trend at the moment, but mostly by the Dr. B bag, the most popular Fay bag among the stars at the moment, like Eva Longoria, Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon. The bag belonging to the 2008/09 fall-winter Fendi collection is all realized in a black skin material. Its style and its soft lines make it a real unmissable accessory that promise well and I’m sure it will became more and more popular. It’s a real must have!
The undisputed queen as regards bags is the pretty, enchanting ,small but also comfortable clutch bag, that is becoming an indispensable accessory and a real must for women that like to fallow fashion and trends.
Up to now everyone, VIPs but also common people, wish have a designer clutch bag. Practical and simple to wear with jeans and t-shirt like the clutch bag of J.Lo, or a more precious and sophisticated one for the most important soirées, clutch bag is always present in our mise.
Designers suggest us various patterns for all types of personalities and requirements. For example Valentino propose us a simple and very sophisticated model, its sobriety is toned down by the particularity of the pink ruches and the touch of gold that gave a more frivolous look.
The clutch bag signed Prada, like that one of Valentino, is really romantic because of its color and also for the harmonious balance between the simplicity of the item and the use of precious gems. This peculiarities make these two bags so wonderful and refined.
An other clutch option could be that one proposed by Christian Dior fashion house, this bag is more particular, eccentric, unusual and provocative in the style. This bag seems to be perfect for women that want to be noticed because it’s quite impossible to go unnoticed.
As you can see all the main fashion designers gave importance to clutch bags in their collections, small accessories but only as regards size not for glamour!
