Shimmering radiance creates a vision of pure richness, drawing full attention to a mysterious woman wandering in the night. Gracefully flowing fabrics weave an enigmatic story, determined to uncover where her journey is taking her. Strutting through the dim setting of the colonnade as it merges with a twinkling glow, the diamond-inspired designs take on an almost tangible shine and add the perfect touch of glamour, as she continues towards her destination, where she divinely takes the stage. An overwhelming sense of heroism seizes her the moment she becomes the centre of attention on stage, silhouetted by spotlights illuminating her sophisticated attire of dreamy designs

Azzedine Alaia Autumn/Winter 2011-12 Paris Fashion Week

After a long hiatus Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa  is back to runway! ... she showcasesd her  Autumn Winter2011/12 collection at Paris fashion week. I love the textures ...crocodile, Mongolian fur, felted wool and intricate latticework... The collection was definitely  fresh squeaky clean to me after such a long time of  waiting anticipating for her return...

The new bell shaped silhouette  was a great, a break away from the tight pencils all over Paris fashion week, not that those pencils weren't there in this collection, they were....along with flared skirts.  The colors were deep shades of teal, red, blue, and plum, deep and bold. i especially loved the full-length dresses...they're evening gowns that you'd want to wear on and on... fabulous.

Spotted At the Paris Scene

Can you blame for falling inlove with this Gown?

Spring-summer 1954 couture evening gown by Pierre Balmain at the Musée Galliera exhibit. I love that it has an 18th century theme to it...I love garments that reek of historical fashion from times when women were always glamorous... More of 'Historical fashion' to come...

A Greener Fendi

Ethical fashion, doing more with fashion....

Just because something’s recycled doesn’t mean it has to look cheap or ugly, says the founder of Carmina Campus, a new line of totes, computer sleeves, and iPad covers made from reclaimed materials. Then again, she’s a Fendi. The youngest daughter of Anna, one of five Fendi sisters who transformed the family business into an international brand, Ilaria Venturini Fendi is using her clan’s artisanal approach to refashion castoff supplies into objects of exuberance and desire. Produced in Africa through the UN-sanctioned Ethical Fashion Programme, the line marries fine tailoring with leftover fabrics (including reclaimed safari tents, military blankets, and leather swatches) to reflect 
Venturini Fendi’s aspirations for a better world.

“The idea is that the word ‘ethical’ should no longer apply to just a niche,” Venturini Fendi says.
Its “STOP FGM” collection, for instance, campaigns against the practice of female genial mutilation, with a portion of proceeds earmarked for charity.
