Behold the 25 Most Breathtakingly Beautiful Looks from the Fall 2012 Couture Shows
Paris couture week is officially over. In case you were too focused on Raf Simons’ and Kimye’s couture debuts to take everything in, those dilligent couturiers showed some pretty great collections.
Nothing compares to couture, a thriving and important part of the fashion industry. The fall 2012 collections were full of so much delicate, restrained gorgeousness it was tough to pick our favorites (especially when it came to Dior and Valentino), but we did our best. So, click through for one last look (well, until all the celebs start wearing them) at the 25 dresses we found ourselves gawking at–in a good way.

Would You Rather…? The Giambattisti Valli Haute Couture vs. The Silence of the Lambs Moth in Mouth Edition
Designers can get inspiration from literally anything–model muses, pet cats, childhood toys, Oscar-winning Jodie Foster dramas? The latter may have been the case (but probably wasn’t) for Giambattista Valli, whose haute couture collection featured some very The Silence of the Lambs-esque styling. Don’t worry, there weren’t any coats constructed of human flesh–but there were some Read more →

We Hear All the Vogue Girls Have to Wear Pink to the Met Ball, So What Should They Wear?
A little birdie told us there will be some girly outfit coordination going on at this year’s Costume Institute Gala, which is less than two weeks away. The Vogue-hosted event will celebrate the opening of “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” at the Met and we hear the hostesses–namely, Vogue editors, will be paying a little tribute to one of the exhibition’s subjects by following a strict dress code: they all have to wear pink.

Our Wedding Dress Suggestions for Angelina Jolie (And Her Right Leg)
Have you heard? Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are getting married! We’ve already seen the ring–sort of–so now it’s time to start the process called “Guess the Dress Designer.” (We’re going on the assumption here, which could be far-fetched, that she will actually have a proper wedding with a fancy dress, etc. She may just Read more →

Would You Rather…? Emma Stone Vs. Nicole Kidman at the Oscars
Let’s be honest. Last night’s Oscars red carpet was, for the most part, a parade of safe dresses, as it tends to be. We don’t blame celebrities for wanting to stick with safe options–who wants to end up on a worst dressed list? We wouldn’t! However, one burgeoning red carpet style star went perhaps the Read more →

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2012: Pure Fairytale
PARIS–Giambattista Valli’s show last night was exactly how I used to imagine the haute couture world as a child: gorgeous items unveiled in intimate, gold-leaf interiors, to a crowd who seems to wear them on a daily basis.
Held in a salon at the Hôtel de Crillon, the collection was presented to a small crowd, sans standing space. No gimmicks, no conceptual nonsense – only models undulating around the room in pristine ball gowns and cocktail dresses, to the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ of Salma Hayek and Diane Kruger.

Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars Honors Raf Simons, Daphne Guinness, and Andrew Rosen, the ‘Godfather’ of Fashion
Last night, despite a cold, blustery rainstorm, the fashion industry elite put on their black-tie best and headed down to Cipriani Wall Street for Fashion Group International’s Annual Night of Stars Gala. The event is known for it’s glittery mix of designers, retail execs, editors and celebrities, and this year’s event was no exception. Elle’s Kate Lanphear (in an incredible YSL cape) told us, “This is one of my favorite events of the year. I’m a big fashion nerd, and I always try to come if I’m in town.” Spotted in the glamorous crowd were fashion luminaries like Proenza’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey, Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo, model Lindsey Wixson, and style legend Lee Radziwill, who accompanied Star Honoree designer Giambattista Valli.
Many designers in attendance were excited to support Corporate Leadership Award winner Andrew Rosen, the President of Theory and an investor in young fashion brands. Stacey Bendet Eisner, founder and designer of Alice and Olivia, a company that Rosen has invested in and mentored, said, “I worship him. I talk to him every morning at 6am, or around that time. He’s the most amazing person in this industry; he’s the Godfather.” Misha Nonoo of Nonoo NY added, “Andrew Rosen is one of the most exciting people in fashion at the moment. He recognizes talent at a seedling level.”
