Black Tie Optional featuring Giuseppe Zanotti
Black Tie Optional
'...people must be very distinguished to look well in black...' -Edward Bulwer-Lyttonn, 1828
One of our favorite (and omnipresent) trends on the Fall 2008 catwalk was menswear(ish) pieces for the girls, specifically, plays on the formal dress, such as the tuxedo and its sharp lapels.
The tuxedo was born in the 1920s; it was a double-breasted reincarnation of the 1880s dinner jacket tailored to the tastes of then Prince of Wales. When the fashion traveled from Europe to America, it landed in Tuxedo Park, the millionaire playground of New York, where the new double-breasted formal wear was sported at small dinner parties. Pierre Lorillard popularized the tailless dinner jacket and named it the 'tuxedo' at an autumn ball. more...

Eyes Like Laura MArs featuring Giuseppe Zanotti
There's something slippery about Chris Han's Fall 2008 collection.
It's not really evening wear, and its not really day wear; to blur the categorical lines even further, Han gives floor-length skirts industrial details. She turns tulle gothic.
Feminine fabrics with blood red lips and black nail polish stir up memories of Laura Mars portrayed by Faye Dunaway. Like the film and its characters, the collection uses devices of femininity to portray darkness. It's a sexy darkness, but it's still dark. Matched with short leather gloves, and Transylvanian makeup (as Han chose to during the collection's unveiling at New York Fashion Week), the collection in its highly stylized context brings out the beauty... and the beast.more...

Posh & Gloss featuring Giuseppe Zanotti
The Twenties have often been cited as the era of inception of today's popular culture. Perhaps it is why we stubbornly continue to reference the style of the times. Or perhaps it's our identification with the roaring age that was "...anxious to enjoy itself, anxious to forget the past, anxious to ignore the future."* No matter, the reason, Gilded romanticism never seems to fade, and today's fashion designers continue to modernize its essence with garments that allow us to reflect our own light in big or small ways. more...

A Lovely Grey featuring Giuseppe Zanotti

Explore the subtleties of monochromatic looks with geometric patterns or surprising highlights of periwinkle. Play with the protean color grey and witness its shape-shifting in the light like a Greek deity. Add dimension with subtle combinations of fabrication. Whether you choose slate or charcoal, you are sure to have a 'Lovely Grey.'more...

The Bloomsbury Set featuring Giuseppe Zanotti
Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.
So said Dorothy Parker, an admirer of the Bloomsbury Set. Of course today a pair Louboutin shoes is as much a necessity as a luxury! If you want to find a little London Bohemia try mixing patterns (stripes with flowers are a good choice), play with plenty of delicate layers and add a decadent abundance of jewelry.
In this story, as an added service we've provided stockist links so even if the stores are all closed you can still get the perfect Boho-Style. more...
