SubscribeJ’adore!! Raf Simons was quoted saying his Spring Summer collection for Jil Saunder is a ”mille-feuille of color.” – I would say his vision is less like a French pastry and more like a masterpiece responsible for this season’s bold new hues. The graphic stripes and couture like proportions of the show, [...]

shoe art
Most of you are probably thinking I hit my head, but I have been trying to buy United Nude shoes for the past few weeks and they never have my size!!! Like any other fashion crazed loony, I decided not have a breakdown, but to pay homage to the shoes I will probably never acquire. [...]
At the stables……
“Life of a bourgeois” photographed by Maik Kanyanga at www.maikphotograpghy.com I have always secretly wanted to try the Hermes look. Classic, chic, and so bourgeois! The riding inspired silhouettes are great classics if you have inherited a ranch, but if you are young and broke you can still have the look and make it more [...]
celine sway…………
“Riviera Talent- Alert” Just last month I was contacted by Nice’s very own Jewelry designer Celine Sway and asked to collaborate with her on the latest collection’s look book. I first felt incredibly flattered than floored when I saw some of the pieces she made with her very own hands. I have always been a [...]
Phoebe Philo Rocks
Not many women can leave a Artistic Director position at Chloe, start a family, be begged to come back years later to transform yet another fading French label, and change the world of fashion as we know it. The talented Phoebe Philo has given us yet another season of joy with her urban cool silhouettes [...]
HANNAH’s NEW BALLET
I wonder if Hannah MacGibbon had in mind a slightly less twisted “Black Swan” while designing her Spring Summer collection. Everything from the tutu skirts to the oversized leather gym bags, screams 5th avenue dance studio and I would imagine the drama to be way worse than what we saw in Darren Aronofsky’s film. I [...]
PRADA PLEASE!
Monkeys, cherubs, bananas, oh my! After a drought of Beige, Miuccia Prada has arrived with a bucket of water and doused the Spring Summer season with beautiful chaos and bursting color. I worship her for always thinking outside the box and making fashion editors lay awake at night thinking….”what the F@*K was that? I love [...]
“THE GARDEN PARTY”
Is Lace the New Basic? Every season a few key trends from fashion’s past sneak their way into some of the major shows, reinterpreted and sent back down the runway disguised as “New”. One of these annoying trends is Lace and every year I swear not to become trapped in its embroidered web, yet somehow [...]
UNE AMERICAINE: SPRING`S GEEK CHIC
When Kate and Laura Mulleavy from Rodarte where asked about their Spring Summer 2011 collection, they looked no further than their own backyard. It was a flash back to growing up and made me go back to my own suburban upbringing and back to my roots. Since flights to Illinois for a weekend shoot were [...]
“KATE SYLVESTER”-NEW ZEALAND`S LEADING LADY OF FASHION
Ahh the great Kate. I knew it was love, when I visited this Kiwi’s boutique on Teed street and found nothing but wall to wall cool. The garden print stickers, uber trendy sales team (arm tatts included), and hanger after hanger of Girly chic. I was only able to pull a few pics from the look-book [...]
