Galliano Spring 08 Uncovered (LINK)

August 23rd 2008 21:24


For international fashion celebrity and designer extraordinaire, John Galliano, the secret of luxury is in the fantasy and the froth!

If you look at his latest Spring 08 collection you can see the key elements of 1920's and 1940's glamour.

Turbans adorn matte skin highlighted by defined brows,




bobbed and marceled hair and smokey eyes...



tulle veils and cabaret hats...



Galliano's Spring 08 collections pay tribute to the era of old Hollywood glamour.

Christian Louboutin - the Sole Man (LINK)

All hail Christian Louboutin, the Parisian shoe designer and creative genius whose red soled slinky stilettos and towering platform shoes have become a trademark around the world.

Louboutin


From his home town of Paris where Louboutin was first inspired to design shoes for the showgirls at the Paris nightclub, The Palace - to Romans-sur-Isère, the centre of France's footwear industry, where he trained as an apprentice at Charles Jourdan's shoe factory, Louboutin has gone from strength to strength. In 2007 his business boasted retail sales of £132 million, and he has just opened a second London shop, in Mount Street, Mayfair. This year the designer is set to open stores in Las Vegas, Singapore and Jakarta.

Today an A list of Celebrity followers including Sienna Miller, Oprah, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce seek Louboutin out for his exquisitely crafted designs that cost upwards of £400 each.

An intense perfectionist, he had overseen the production of every pair of shoes since he set up his business 15 years ago... Could he be following in the footsteps of the infamous bootier Master - Massaro? Louboutin is most definitely a designer to keep an eye on!!

But if I were you I would take your tired little toes on the journey of their life to 19 rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 75001 Paris and see for yourself!

If anyone has a Paris summer day to relax wandering through a cultural exposition that will touch your heart and your spirit, I highly recommend visiting the Pierre Berge - Yves Saint Laurent Foundation at 5 Avenue Marceau.

For its 8th exhibition, the Pierre Berge - Yves Saint Laurent Foundation has chosen to present A Moroccan Passion. 36 exquisite kaftans dating from the 18th to the 20th centuries as well as numerous embroideries and jewellery that bear witness to the quality of Moroccan art. It could be said that Yves Saint Laurent's deepest inspiration came from the lights and colours of Morocco. On display are also the contemporary interpretations offered by local designer Tamy Tazi and Yves Saint-Laurent himself

As a swimwear designer living between London and Paris and constantly surrounded by the best these two great cities of Haute Couture have to offer, I have to confess to one addiction - that of Menswear. I can't walk down a street without noticing the colours, the textures or the shoes!

Over the last two weeks both Milan and Paris Spring/Summer Menswear Collections have taken to the runways and finally we are seeing one clear trend - classics, comfort and colour
