The HITS of Gucci s/s collection 2009

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.

Shopping Guide: S/S Shoes 2009

2009’s shoe fashion screams out loud: “Extreme!” but  don’t be terrified you can always modify fashion so it suites you better, but still be perfectly trendy. This year in fact shoes are dreadfully  high but on the other side more stunning than ever! We are talking about platform sandals, gladiator sandals, tapered heels, cut-away sandals, thick chunky heels and of course sky high heels. But more important though are the details, without details this S/S you will not pass the test!

You will find the most important trends and shopping advices below…

 

 

The cut-away trend is evident this spring/summer 2009 and of course we’ll find it in the shoe fashion. The two upper shoes on the photo are from the Giuseppe Zanotti collection, and they clearly demonstrate the existence.

This amazing cut-away technique is stunning, elegant and in the same way provocative. And most important it works absolutely well on high heels. It gives you the right modern and fresh look! Perfect as well at night to a mini dress as well to jeans or a casual style… The solid black Paciotti shoes are furthermore  phenomenal!

 

 

The Stiletto is a classical, and of course this year it’s top fashion. But this year two things have changed, fist of all is the richness of particularities, from buckles to different patterns. Second are the fusion of stilettos and platform heels. Which evidently creates an even higher heel.

These pink Paciotti or these sky high Zanotti stilettos have all different exiting particularities!

 

 

 

The gladiator sandals are a truly Must-Have this spring and summer! Perfect for city days or casual night events… Miu Miu has made some truly cute gladiator sandals (see photo).

 

 

 

The Platform sandals are an other Must have this Spring/Summer 2009. They are seen every where and all over the world. The platform sandal trend is funny and awesome and definitely a trend to catch up with to get the right chic s/s look! 

For a classic look these Gucci sandals are perfect, while a more extreme version is these attention-grabbing pink Moschino pair or the outstanding purple Paciotti heels.

S/S Trend 2009: The Exotic Kaftans

The new fashion trend this sunny spring and summer will definitely be the kaftans!

Not only for its exotic and glamorous look but also because of its flexibility. It’s not only perfectly right on the beach as a substitute of the now old sarong and pareo, it’s totally right even in the evening combined with the right accessories, like chunky bracelets, necklaces and belts!

 

Kaftans this year come in many different shapes and sizes, and it’s available short as well as long or even as tunics. Kaftans this summer is definitely a must!

Since it’s available in such many sizes and shapes it gives you the possibility to be perfectly comfortable all day on the beach or to be absolutely chick at night!

For a more tribal look Roberto Cavalli has the right kaftans you search with its animal prints and semi transparent fabrics it gives you the look everybody wants!

Another beautiful creation is the one of Gucci, who chooses strong colours and delicate fabrics.

Gossip girl: Dior and Gucci handbags

Gossip girl is an American serial that take the name from a anonymous boggler that writes about a group of teenagers from the Upper East Side, their intrigues, the obscure secretes of which their lives are full.

This series catches the attention of many teenagers but also of many fashion addicts because of its interest in fashion, trends and big brands like for example Christian Dior or Gucci. Many important fashion designers decided to dress up the characters of this glamorous TV series. The result is that this series becomes the fashion victims wonderland.

Below there are a handful of pictures from some episodes of gossip girl. The two girls, Blair Woldorf (played by Leighton Meester) and Georgina Sparks (portrayed by actress Michelle Trachtenberg) were immortalized wearing three wonderful bags belonging to Gucci and Dior fashion house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the firs image besides Blair there is also an other main character that certainly doesn’t go unnoticed. I’m spiking about lady Dior Cannage Bag. This gorgeous bag is realised in black leather. It has a geometrical grid on its and metallic details give to this already wonderful accessory a more beautiful and chic touch.

In the second picture the outline of Gucci Hysteria Hobo Bag appears in all its beauty. This model is made in a shiny python skin but personally I think that Guccissima leather version is much the best, for its sophisticated soul and its natural beauty that makes her an unending accessory.

The last photo shows another creation by Dior, a red fretted Lady Dior Bag with the usual silvery logo in evidence.

Gucci woman’s spring/summer 2009 collection

The new Gucci woman’s collection as always keeps the flag of this wonderful fashion house flying, this brand like every time knows how surprise and enchant people tanks to its stunning patterns , the fresh and impeccable style, brilliant colours and the usual accuracy of details.

For the next season Gucci propose us ethereal, fluttering clothes that are soft both to the sight because of the numerous drapes but also to the touch thanks to the use of silk, the favourite material in all the collection. The already beautiful clothes are embellished by recurrent embroideries that make them even more particular.

The predominant colours in all the Gucci runway are blue, a colour that recalls peace, satisfaction, harmony and inner tranquillity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Green is another of the favourite colours, it conveys stability, strength, firmness, psychological equilibrium and self-esteem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Purple that was the king of all this autumn and winter fashion, will continue to be a must as regards also next hot weathers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In conclusion these seem to be the trendy colours for next spring-summer collection.

Ankle boots: Gucci, Christian Dior and Fendi

Boots this winter were the uncontested main characters among glamorous shoes. Easy to wear and very comfortable they have couth the attention of many women and celebrities that can’t renounce them anymore. 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. Fendi proposal is the result of the perfect union between the chic essentialism of Christian Dior and the creative touch of Gucci. The boots are realised in suede, they are total black coloured except for some silvery lamé decorations.

The hart-shaped Gucci bag

February is coming and Saint Valentine’s Day too, for the occasion we want to propose you a very romantic Gucci bag. Like Marc Jacobs did, also Gucci make a more romantic and witty bag that differently from that one by M. Jacobs is more refined and simple.

Gucci hart-shaped clutch bag belongs to the cruise collection, it is different from the other serious bags, its simple and frivolous aspect can sweeten every unhappy days. There are two different versions of this bag, one in total black painted leather and the other is a pochette realized in a golden material with the typical “GG” company logo.

The black version is a more sportive and everyday bag, on the contrary the other is a more evening accessory, both are the perfect glamour and practicality fusion result. The icing on the cake regarding these two wonderful bags are the golden chains and the metal clasps provided with a glamorous blow. In their minute aspect these bags contain lots of glamour and class.

Spring-summer 2009 campaigns:

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 perfect New Year’s Day bags:

It’s almost Christmastime and with holidays is also coming the search of the greatest look for parties. Accessories play the most important role as regards the choice of the most glamorous mise.

As everyone know the right choose of accessories can enhance the beauty of every clothes. Particularly bags, the best friends of all the women, are the indispensable addition that make the difference, so make sure that your bags are as much glamorous as possible.

Fashion suggest us really small models. Cutch bag is the most popular at this moment, small-sized but great as regards the style.

Small, practical, eccentric but above all really chic and up to date the moonling bag of Gucci fall winter 2008/09 collection. It’s realised in a golden material that contributes like also the nice bow to give a more trendy touch at the already glamorous design. This is the perfect bag for an eccentric and youthful dress but at the same time it’s also perfect for a seemingly simple dress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Another suitable alternative is that one proposed by Iceberg fashion house, smart and cool as the first, this bag maybe has a more simple style than that one given by Gucci. It’s realised in a rolled silver leather, as fashion suggest us, and as if that wasn’t enough its glamour style is emphasized by the python leather effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Both these bags are perfect for the New Year’s Night, so have a happy new bag to everyone.

 

The new Gucci’s collection:

The 2008/09 autumn-winter collection that Gucci showed at the Milan fashion week, is original and innovative. The collection is new, fresh, good for a woman that want to be noticed and likes to follow the dictates of fashion, but preserving her personality.

For the use of materials and creative patterns this collection brings us back at the 70’s but also to the Balkan Countries. Metallic studs, upholsterer’s nails, fringes: this are the main characteristics of this collection, that seems perfect to be worn by young people because of its rock  references.

The icing on the cake of Babouska collection are bags.
Very accurate details, like the big metallic harts, or the coloured and vivacious decorations and   obviously the inevitable knobs, make this accessories a real status symbol at the moment.

                                            

 

 

 

 

 

 

Practical and beautiful have also catch the attention of many important stars like Jessica Simpson and Rihanna.

Foulard fashion

Synonymous of elegance and class, foulard has always been considered a distinctive element over the years, an accessory whose importance never ended. And fashion proves what just said with the revival of this useful accessory.

 Worn around the head…

as a scarf…

attached on a bag…

as a belt…

This lovely piece of silk gained the favour of designers. Designers left their print on the label making their style recognizable on foulards too. Below some foulards from Gucci, Christian Dior and Versace.

Interesting approach by Gucci, with a gipsy style pattern and dark colours.

Gucci:

 

 

Christian Dior, in fact, plays more with colours and geometrical round shapes creating a light effect.

Christian Dior:

 

The interest for geometrical shapes affects Versace too, even if he prefers squared forms to round ones. The use of colour in Versace is evident too, yellow is predominant with lovely combinations: yellow and lilac, yellow and fuchsia, yellow and white.

Versace:

At the Milan Fashion Week the new Versace 2009 spring summer collection. Main idea of the new woman by Versace is the attention to the figures and shapes. He suggests tied mini dresses for long and elegant legs, and slim jackets. The use of metallic fabrics exalts the figure too, in a game of seduction and sensuality.

Fendi’s woman for next 2009 summer is a combination of round shapes, following next summer attention of fashion towards geometric games. The circle is the mirror of the new femininity, the circle as symbol of eternity and perfection.

 Gorgeous Gucci collection by Frida Giannini with amazing colours and surreal atmospheres. A melange of looks is what Gucci woman will be like: 70ees style with a touch of safari, a woman who likes travelling and adventures.

From here, tailleurs and suites with Saharan jackets, dresses and hats for an Iniana Jones style. For the night, lots of luxury maxi dresses, an enchanting visual melody for a woman who chooses the night as best moment to reveal her sensuality.

Valentino and Gucci dressing stars.

Today we are going to compare two young and promising actresses who have in common, a part from a superb career, a declared love for elegance and designers. We are talking about actress Anne Hathaway in a stunning Valentino and Clare Danes in an elegant Gucci.

Young but determined 25 years old Anne Hathatway reflects her charme through this Valentino’s creation exalting her beauty even more. Defined as the perfect combination between Julia Roberts, Audry Hepburn and Judy Garland, she fell in love with the seventh art when she was still a girl, and she attended the Barrow Group of New York. After a degree in English Literature, Walt Disney Pictures wants her as main character of the teen romance “Pretty Princess”, also starring fantastic Julie Andrews. She then climbed the mountain of success thanks to imortant roles side by side with icon like Jake Gyllenhall in “Brokeback Mountain” and Meryl Streep in “The Devil wears Prada.

Ethereal Clare Danes has been defined as “The star of the future” (ShowWest 1997) and as one of the 50 most beautiful women worldwide. It doesn’t have to be a surpise, then, watching her in a Gucci dress from the Gucci collection 2008.
Her career started when she was very young, when she was 11 she featured in one episode of the series “Law and order”. She quickly gained important roles in movies like “Little Women” with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder. She is unforgettable starring in “Romeo and Juliet” with Leonardo Di Caprio, and moving in “The Hours”. In fantastic “Stardust” she acts with Robert De Niro and many more important names.

An incredible career for these two enchanting young women who deserve our compliments for their talent and for their taste in chosing designers like Valentino and Gucci, top names in the world of fashion lending their wit to top stars.

Bag of the week!

This is the Medium Hysteria Hobo bag that forms part of the new Hysteria bag collection by Gucci. This collection highlights subtle glamour and what sets it apart from the others is the leather used.   This bag is made from soft metallic calfskin and has a medallion detail on the front. It is the style that best shows off the fabric chosen by Gucci for the Hysteria collection because of the design. 

The Medium Hysteria Hobo bag is a wonderful handbag for those casual days, but the Gucci crest and half-flap closure keep the bag sophisticated for evening use aswell. It is big enough for all the day to day things without feeling like Mary Poppins.  The bag has a soft slouchy look and the slightly larger emblem makes the bag very modern, but not overwhelming.  The Hysteria collection is also available in black and mustard yellow.

Weakness: almost none, except, sometimes your favourite product might not be included in the online shop.
