Sky high summer heels!

In shoes, styles and trends on May 28, 2009 at 5:12 pm

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.

Mariah Carey showed off her figure in a Roberto Cavalli maxi dress at the Mardan Palace opening in Turkey at the red carpet!  Mariah was one of many women that frequently was seen at Cannes wearing the Italian designer’s stunning creations, and who’s blaming her?!

The dress is one of this Roberto Cavalli s/s collection’s many maxi dresses, this year so popular. Mariah wore a green, yellow and white striped maxi gown with the Cavalli signature gold serpent keeping the gown together. And completed her look with some ethic but glamorous gold earrings.

Roberto Cavalli made some equally stunning maxi dresses similar to the one Mariah is wearing but instead black and white striped maxi dress and white with gold chains and many more…

Nothing is fresher than the total white summer trend!

In Christian Dior, Versace, shoes, styles and trends on May 21, 2009 at 9:51 am

As seen on the red carpets as well in the magazines, white is without any doubts the colour of the season! Everything becomes fresh, delicate and summerish when it’s white. In addition it’s chic, romantic and modern at the same time. The total white look is the look of the moment not to miss!

total white

Go for total white dresses with same coloured accessories, where some minimal detail might be silver coloured to create a more modern look. The white strapless Versace dress  (left) is a great example, where the multizips gives the look a modern touch! See Versace s/s collection for other white clothing items!

Or else for a more street chic look, combine a white soft silk blouse and a white jacquard jacket with a pair of white trousers (even strapped for a more vintage look) and a matching heel perhaps with a tree sole to avoid the look gets too forced. Like the white Dior heels from the Dior s/s collection!

See Kate Moss’ summerish white look!

How ever accessories are a great ‘tool’ to use for ‘modelling’ your look for a more personal fit. Using your favourite bracelets, rings or necklace you get the desired authentic and relaxed look!

Prada Ad Campaign s/s 2009

In Prada, shoes, styles and trends on May 18, 2009 at 2:50 pm

 

The Prada Ad Campaign this year is original and funny, models looking like they are made of porcelain but still so vivid in their expressions. Made in different themes, I particularly like this photo where the theme no doubt must be python.

Prada27s20Spring-Summer20200920Wome

The photograph contains a sleeveless python printed cotton dress (seen as well on the red carpet), python printed skirts and a python printed jacket with white borders. An incredible mix, we’ll find the print as well on the different sized bags! The colours goes from black to white trough beige and light brown tones. The style is sharp and elegant into the smallest detail, not failing once!

As the python print this warm and sunny season has become a trend it’s a wise move investing . For an easy and causal look choose a python printed bag or a python printed heel, but if you’re brave go for the knee-long python printed dress in grey or reddish tones. It’s a secure move and a guaranteed hit!

Looking at these gorgeous photos the first thing that pops up in my mind is the undeniable fact that Giorgio Armani really is the master of elegance especially when it comes to men’s fashion. What to say when the creations of the Italian designer are mixed with the beauty of  the model and world wide accepted actor Wentworth Miller?!

Protagonist of the famous Prison Break series, the actor photographed for the Italian edition of GQ,  really incorporate to the perfection the simple but at the same time so well made and detailed style by Giorgio Armani. The simplicity is created from true elegance, with attention to the every detail and material excluding exaggerations. A true joy for every woman’s eyes!

Purple was the colour of last winter but is still top fashion, in fact on the international catwalks purple was one of the leading colours! This Spring and Summer our top designer’s have decided to combine many different shades and tones of purple like; lilac, lavender, violet and plum.

Of course purple is suitable even together with other colours, in fact another trend of the year is exactly the mixing of strong colours. 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!

purpleii

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…

Ermanno Scervino chooses a brighter tone of purple, like this lilac criss-cross jersey dress

Cesare Paciotti goes for the eye-catching purple, as clutch as well as stilettos, amazing accessories this S/S or should I rather say an absolute must have this season! For a slightly more delicate taste the Paciotti jacket is an alternative!

How ever it doesn’t really matter where or how you wear it as long as purple actually has tinted your body!

Shopping Guide: S/S Shoes 2009

In Giuseppe Zanotti, Gucci, Miu Miu, Moschino, Paciotti, shoes, styles and trends on April 14, 2009 at 2:29 pm

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…

 

 cutaway

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!

 

 

stilletos

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!

 

 

 

gladiator

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).

 

 

 

platform1

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.

This spring/summer 2009 themes have been popular on the catwalks…

The D&G Dolce & Gabbana collection clearly demonstrate a marine theme this year. With stripped shirts in red & blue and white & blue like real sailors and bathing suites in the same way. Waist high trousers with bottoms on both sides, funny bathing hats.

And to emphasis even more their inspiration source on some clothes we’ll find anchors, boats and marine icons! Frequently seen as well are the big roses and silk scarfs combined with blouses and shirts. Predominantly even in this collection is the sheer fabric, which lightly waves in air.

Sometimes the models strongly reminds of the black and white movies and their elegant young ladies! The D&G collection is fully emerged in this marine and sailor theme, it entirely gives you the real sensation of sailor spirit in a very feminine way though. In fact that’s the reason why it’s  so brilliant!

Sophisticated And Elegant Black

dior-r001-2008_09_29_17_51_19_224355_base

Black is and will always be perfect and modern. It comes back again and again, no matter it’s summer or winter, this classic and seductive colour is always suitable!

Of course we will find it in this spring and summer collection as well. Mostly as dresses, short or long, doesn’t really matter as long as they are sensual. Like the creations of John Richmond who chooses a very rocky but still elegant style. The top designer’s glamorous dresses are partly made in sheer fabrics partly full of pearls and decoration which together creates an ideal style for summer nights. The style is somehow provocative but still very delicate!

For a more classic black look Valentino is just right, who remains simple but still very feminine.

Fendi with its this year fashionable surrealistic and odd style, is perfect for you who desire a stronger black look!

John Galliano though makes a stronger move, creating wild dresses in strong colors, making the models wearing blond curly wigs, strange enormous hats and heavy make up which gives the Galliano s/s collection an enchanting fairy tale touch! Like these green decorated soft Galliano dresses seen below.

D&GDolce & Gabbana this s/s collection made as well some incredibly peculiar dresses, which almost seem to derivate from an other world, the land of fairy tales. Almost reminding of a mixture of characters from Alice in wonderland. With these enormous eye-catching dresses.

The long dress in sheer fabric with the gold flounce belt is definitely surrealistic and a perfect fairy tale example. The flower covered one though is more romantic and seems to be taken from a remote princess in some other world far away. Finally this year peculiar fairy tale-like dresses are more than perfect…

An asymmetrical spring!

In Moschino, Versace on April 1, 2009 at 10:28 am

Spring/summer 2009 is full of asymmetry. This year is not supposed to be structured but totally freaked out, in other words asymmetrical!

 

one-shoulder

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. Like the amazing Moschino dress below. Since it’s all about asymmetry a long piece of sheer fabric waving from only one side of the shirt or dress is perfect as well and creates a very soft atmosphere!

For a more street look an other perfect way to be on top this S/S is to invest some t-shirts with different prints on the sides or one side stripped and the other not… It’s simply for you to explore! It’s definitely a funny fashion trend to enjoy this eagerly awaited summer!

Yellow for instant which also is on the top this year! To continue with the strong colors which are definitely very trendy this spring and summer, all fluorescent colors are absolutely right. Like strong orange, florescent clear blue, yellow and green in different shades. On the international catwalk this S/S color was essential, solo as well as combined with other colours…

Pure White Spring

In Dior, styles and trends on March 23, 2009 at 5:22 pm

The most classic summer color is after all the pure white! Its purity fits perfectly well in Spring since it’s the moment of universal rebirth, when everything resets and starts again!

An other more esthetical reason is of course the splendid combination of sun tanned skin and the light color! White stands perfectly well alone as it’s in perfect harmony with other colors!

In Fashion Online, Fendi, Gianni Versace, Gucci, News&Events, designers and labels on October 8, 2008 at 11:08 am

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.

Designer Frida Giannini, the creative director of the Gucci maison, confessed she got inspired by strong and brave Oriana Fallaci. 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. Gucci collection prefers strong tonalities of colours like blue, turquoise, red, purple and orange.

Milan Fashion Week: Prada and Roberto Cavalli

Miuccia Prada’s turn at the Milan Fashion Week for her new 2009 spring summer collection. Experimental collection for Prada, with a combination of minimalist tones and a new sensuality. Prada collection is looking for new expressions. New materials and fabrics provide the prime essence of new creations, and unusual combinations arose too, either snake skin with coulisse or new chromatic effects.

 

Roberto Cavalli, in fact, sacrifices his animalier print and wild style, which brought him lots of fortune indeed, for a new romanticism. Lovely faience print dresses on stage, nice mini skirts, printed maxi dresses, and colours, lots of colours.

Obvious presence at the Milan fashion week, Roberto Cavalli and Frankie Morello for a delirium of colours on next summer fashion. Light and colours are the most evident trend of both artists.

The Just Cavalli woman explodes on a sandy catwalk, faithful to the distinctive savage soul she’s always been keen on. The Just Cavalli 2009 spring summer collection presents softer tones, less animal print dresses and trousers. In fact, this collection focuses on a 20ees style with light little dresses, lace and patchwork printed fabrics with pastel colours.

 

As for Frankie Morello, colour is the first thing of his collection too. He plays with richness and chromatic variety for a perfect game. White and safari beige appear on their own and in lively combinations too, with strong colours such as purple and dark yellow. Splendid mini dresses and skirts, long or stretch, incredibly short trousers with Saharan style jackets, this and so much more for a sparkling collection whose creations are the mirror of Frankie Morello style.

Next summer Armani woman is Elegant. Elegant in style and trend. There are no concessions to sex appeal, but, as well, Armani doesn’t let a lot to imagination, an exception to the seventies trend.

Miss Armani dresses in grey, white, blue, a classical approach for a Miss in love with small jackets, lacer and wide décolleté too. Skirts are light with waterfall like movement, Armani leads his woman from day to night, classic tailleurs at work, and cocktail dresses at night.
