Wondering what this is? I first saw this more sophisticated style on Dita Von Teese and then on models for Dior, Ruffian, and Thakoon. The eclipsed moon manicure is a style from the 40’s where the moon has been flipped. I absolutely love the look and this has gotten thrown to the top of my DIY. More photos behind the cut along with the “how to”. What do YOU think about this?
I’m not sure what’s come over me, but this is the second outfit that I’ve seen Sarah Jessica Parker in recently that I haven’t loved.
I love the accessories, but the dress itself just isn’t doing it for me. I know it’s Dior, but there’s something very ordinary about it. Almost bridesmaid-y. SJP did put her own spin on the dress, but it just wasn’t enough to sway my opinion.
I have always admired the graffiti culture and lifestyle. The art is amazing, especially when done naturally in the streets. This showcase features “Graff-Couture” for Vogue Paris. Brazillian model Raqual Zimmerman posed in front of colorful and amazing murals. This editoral was photographed by Mario Sorrenti for the November 2009 issue. Fashion director Emmanuelle Alt styled the shoot which has Zimmerman channeling an old school Hollywood pin-up dressed in modern haute couture pieces from Givenchy, Atelier Versace, Dior, and Valentino.Looks like they got a bit of Kaws in this.
The Christian Dior Fall 2009 Couture collection is basically what every girl would love to have in her wardrobe. Sexy lingerie pieces, bright vibrant colored tops and skirts, an intricately made ball gown (for those glass slipper moments of course), all come together to make for one feel-good, feel-sexy look. Love the elegant pairing of sheer pantyhose, silk panties, and sexy stockings with outerwear, and doubley in love with the fact that all the models look like theyre ready to kick someone’s a$$. More pics after the jump.
So you can either charge these hot mesh sandals by Dior retail for $790 at Saks Fifth Avenue, or pay cash for these Miley sandals by Jeffrey Campbell. Save your money and spend $104 get them here from Lori’s Shoes.
I know all of you guys have heard of the vibrating mascara’s, and illuminating tweezers, but this lip gloss has to be just as awesome… but it’s also pretty expensive. What looks like a regular tube of Dior lip glossr is actually a spinning “magic wand.” The applicator rolls as you glossify, to apparently help you channel the application techniques of expert makeup artists. For $30 a pop, you better enjoy it! Buy it Sephora
Directed by Olivier Dahan , featuring Marion Cotillard, Dior has released a mini story of its own- a lady James Bond adventure- “Chapter 1: A Lady Noire Affair“. The film shows off the men in perfectly pressed Dior Homme suits, and Marion Cotillard rushing up the Eiffel Tower in amazing black heels, distinctly shaped “Diorette” sunglasses and the Lady Dior Handbag.
Surrounded by mysterious people, kidnappings, and the spy thriller-ish vibe, I think that Marion looks absolutely phenomenal.
For those of you who are fans of Dior and Cotillard, you can follow the short films development on TWITTER.
XOXO
Be on the look out for the second chapter, Marion Cotillard as “Lady Rouge”.
This week I would like to talk about fashion shoes for Fall 2009 collection, because we certainly experience a lot of dramatic features this season. We will explore through a variety of designers and their personalities. Let’s discuss what truly running through these designers’ minds when they created the “interesting” foot wears.
Balenciaga
Nicolas Ghesquière - designer. Inspired by the ’40s fashion, he mixed it with his feminine soft sci-fic like designs.
Bruno Frisoni
Famous for making feminine lady like high heels.
Jean-Charles De Castelbajac’s ‘Triumph of the Sign’
Now the designer is exhibiting his first solo exhibition of art vs fashion pieces entitled “Triumph of the Sign” at Paradise Row, London.
The images are filled with juxtaposed classical paintings set against modern-day designer pop iconography. The results are highly iconic pieces where Dior letters, YSL and the golden arrows of McDonalds are hijacking classical masterpieces.
Here is some of the interview with Dazed Digi:
DD: You use icons and iconic images in both your art and fashion –why?
Jean-Charles de Castelbajac: They’re always with us, like faces, texts and prints, for example. And they’re linked to our past, they’re the heroes of history!
Dope Dope Dope!
More after the cut…
Galliano was inspired by Flemish ( Belgium) and Dutch (The Netherlands) arts for this season, most apparent in the embroidery and patterns at the bottom of the skirts. Voluminous sleeves and skirts dominated the collection, bringing evoking thoughts of a fairy tale princess.
Looking fabulous!
The white dress looks like a beautiful teacup!
