It is quite a bold thing to say, however she deserves it and my favourite item of the year has to be Stella McCarteney’s coat!
It is such an intemporal piece, has an incredible cut (have you tried it on? Please do!!) and makes you fell like a million pounds. You really can’t go wrong with this one… It is the investiment to make! It suits all kinds of bodies, and colors, the fabric is soft, you can wear it with a dress, trousers or a skirt, it really doesn’t matter the focus will always be your coat! Altought it has straight lines, a certain masculine touch, you’ll always look girly and feminine in it.

As NY fashion week arrives at the speed of light (Feb 10-17) comments about the production of new collections and the strategic moves to fight the current economic crises are pouring like rain…
“Fashion Week has confused consumers, they see things in the newspaper, then go to the store and see completely different things.”
“It’s important for everybody to shrink the offering, make it more exciting and maybe make it more often“
Diane von Furstenberg – designer and head of the Council of Fashion Designers of America
“It’s a very, very challenging time, but I think imagination and perfection prevail.”
Zac Posen – designer
“The recession has been very, very frightening“
Vera Wang – designer
“It’s up to the fashion industry to put it best foot forward and create things that will make everybody go, ‘God damn, I have to buy that,‘”
“Maybe that’s what fashion’s about — putting on this facade and this gloss over everything and making it look fabulous.”
Fern Mallis – senior vice president of IMG Fashion
“We’re all just trying to be a little more responsible, we have just tried to offer more, so that there’s more possibility for more people to afford things.“
Marc Jacobs – designer
“We need to engage the customer and make her realize how important it is that she’s not shopping for herself, but shopping to make a difference in the world and holding on to an industry that’s imperative“
Donna Karan – designer
“The most important thing is to get people into the stores shopping and feeling good about it,“
Anna Wintour – editor in chief of Vogue
What are you’re expectations for the fall/winter 11 shows?
My guess is that this year we’ll see different styles, with more choice at a more affordable price, and as Lanvin (Alber Elbaz) has been doing, create a certain continuity between collections. 2010 was the year of collaborations between renown houses and massive salles stores, Valentino for Gap, Lanvin pour H&M, I’m quite sure that this phenomenon will occur again next year.

Can Karl cease to surprise?
Where’s an invitation to the incredible world of Chanel
Desrues, Goossens for goldsmithing, Guillet, Lemarie, Lesage, Michel and Massaro are the artisans who inspired this show. In order to pay honor to the work of the house’s artisans, Karl organized a show where richness, glamour and detail were a manifest. Inspired by the Empress Theodora of the Byzantine empire, Chanel presented a truly luxurious collection always maintaining the House’s true spirit.
Was I able to arouse your curiosity? If you want to discover more details about the show and the process that led to the final product check out the cherry blossom girl blog. She made an excellent piece on the subject.

I confess that when I first saw this collection it had little or no appeal to me whatsoever. But now… I’m actually starting go appreciate it.
I’m so sorry Miuccia but it was the eye wear, the shoes, the bright colors, simply too much! However I admit that individually the pieces are amazing…that denim bag, the dresses and pencil skirts, the beautiful pants and shirts!
Not my favorite collection of Prada, but nicely done. The adds are amazing as always!
On the other hand, let’s talk Miu Miu!
Don’t you love the Rock/Punk trend for the summer? I adored MiuMiu SS11, it was surprising, had a certain hedge to it. The vibrant colors, strong cuts, abstract and tattoo vibe. Really interesting, different and attractive. Is it just me, or sometimes the girls really looked like Geishas?

After a short visit to Shangai Dior has decided that London should be the next stop. With an (London)Eye for great surroundings, and the perfect face of Marion Cotillard, Dior achieved yet another great billboard.
To me it seems as if Marion is trying to reveal a secret… her eyes, her body, it’s truly romantic. The colors of the add, and the way she is introducing the bag is so special, Lady Dior Lady Grey London is surely one to have!
Don’t you feel like visiting the Royal City after this?!

Want to purchase key peaces in an affordable way? The answer is within the man in the black shirt, the one whose laugh is so unforgeable and contaminating!
Yes… it’s the polite, gentleman, charismatic Michael Kors. I mean, I could actually live only wearing his clothes. Yes… it would be (a bit!) boring, but only because I love to mix and splash. But the truth is that he’s our friend girls! He gives us the pieces we need, the watches, glasses, purses… If I was to travel right now… I would certainly pack Kors style.
But let’s get to the point… Spring Summer… it’s such an amazing collection. I surely wish the sun would come up to wear it!
Chique, elegant, comfortable, colorful, resourceful, diversified, basically to die for!
Can you not imagine yourself on a hot sunny day looking your best wearing those dresses? What about that long green skirt?
