Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear - Roberto Cavalli 2008-10-19 07:42:00 RobertoCavalli
's fall collection could have been mistaken for a spring collection if one hadn't bothered to look beyond the fit and flare embroidered dresses.There was an occasional display of asymmetrical sweaters, Cavallian typical prints in psychedelic colors, animal printed fur, trimmed on floral dresses and huge bright roses either printed or sequined adorning skirts and dr Read more:Roberto Cavalli
Truffles From The Runway 2008-10-17 09:54:00 I'm totally floored by these sculptured heels from Christian Dior's Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear collection.The heels are really really cute and kudos to John Galliano.Me a complete sucker for his shoes and with recession looming large over everyone's head, shoes like these don't do any good in controlling expenditures!!!Keep watching this space for more coverage from the runway.Image Source:www.sty Read more:Runway

Skyscraper High Shoes Are Meant For... 2008-10-17 09:28:00 Well you guessed it right!!! Taking in hand rather than walking in.Before you give in to the never ending craze for higher and higher heels(the latest buzz being 7 to 8 inches high), give yourself a serious thought as to whether a few moments of towering over the world is worth a lifetime of wobbling around with a hunchback(this is no Hunchback of Notre Dame, to make history).Be fashionably respon

Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear - John Galliano 2008-10-15 11:26:00 John Galliano
's cocoon of surrealism is oft so contagious that it never does fail to touch you in the most unexpected way.He is one of the few designers who makes a movie out of a fashion show.There is the historical background, compelling sets, princesses in fantastical clothes, making you believe that you have hitched a pleasant ride into the past.This fall I'm so tak
Lacy Lacy Affair 2008-10-14 11:11:00 Laces being in vogue big time this fall, there couldn't be a better season to sport these shoes pictured above.The shoes give a very delicate appearance with the faux effect of henna painted feet.This fall, Roberto Cavalli has thankfully decided not to vamp us and has come up with ornate and beautiful designs.Even with recession setting in, these are the kind of shoes that would still make a woman Read more:Affair
Go Back In Time 2008-10-13 13:11:00 Jimmy Choo Sylvia Shoe Boots Its an inevitable Monday morning and you make your way through the concrete jungle treading wearily towards your office not knowing whether the axe will fall on your head today.There is nothing worse than the constant trepidation of expecting the worse.You suddenly long for the primitive life of hunting and gathering, moving around in herds in the Amazon jungle, where
Effect Of Recession? 2008-10-13 02:00:00 We see John Galliano quirky, eccentric, whimsical and colorful, an year back at the Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear fashion show as opposed to the gloomy, subdued, calm and all black costume that he portrayed during the Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear show this year.Is Galliano musing about how he would sell all those beautiful clothes and shoes that he had so meticulously designed, with the lower end of the Read more:Recession
Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear - Marni 2008-10-12 04:13:00 Think simple, think Marni
.On a cursory look, the clothes from the collection don't seem to stand out.The prints are nothing more than a swirl of patterns and the dressing is tiered and layered as per fall.But the highlight of the collection seems to be the artistic blending of seemingly impossible color combinations where the pastel shades seem to harmonize with shocking hues
Whats Your Style? 2008-10-09 03:51:00 Grey clouds enveloping the sun, prematurely extinguishing light from an October morning, is so synonymous with fall, that at this time around no wardrobe is complete without a little bit of grey in it.With purple shoes adding a spurt of color to mellowed grey and black outfits, its time to invert the look with grey shoes balancing the bright dresses in berry, olive green, yellow and purple.Yep, gr Read more:Style

Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear - John Galliano 2008-10-05 04:45:00 John Galliano
's inspiration this time around seems to be the ridiculous fashions from the Napoleonic war era which translates into an extreme emphasis on eccentric coiffures and jaw dropping transparent dresses.Despite the unusual theme, the collection still included the usual spring fare of cute florals, bright oranges and delicious pink.The collection on the whole is very dreamy yet Read more:Spring
From The Runway 2008-10-02 04:24:00 Chloe Paneled shoe bootsThese are days when you want to break free into an unshackled existence of pure guilt free bliss, when your inner repressed self wants a purview of this world and you want the hedonist in you to take charge of yourself.The days when whimsical, wild, fantastical are all your world is filled with.People around you may say that these feelings are the natural consequence of the Read more:Runway

Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear Shoes - Stella McCartney 2008-08-13 08:05:00 StellaMcCartney
's focus has shifted to minimalism this fall, after last season's detailed floral carving on wooden heels.The heels are prominent this season too but not for the intricacy of the previous season but for the enormous varnished wooden platforms with just a golden strip behind.Her collection emphasised on lot on faux fur which extended to boots as well.The shoes came in mono colors r Read more:Stella McCartney
Fall 2008 Ready-To-Wear Shoes - Chole 2008-08-04 03:29:00 Chloe shoes have always had a element of uniqueness that amplified their sheer elegance.For all Chloe shoe lovers there is good news this fall, as shoes seemed to be the most eye catching element of Chloe's collection.Though most of the shoes wore neutral colors, distinctly staying away from very bright and bold colors, the silhouette of the shoes steals the show.Super cool pointy stilettos with a
