It's interesting... Because although the majority of items within Trovata and Charlotte Ronson collections is always highly covetable, I was intrigued to find a few (with emphasis on few) items from Juicy very nice pieces.
It's good, when money is no object, to mix and match. Although I do agree, it wouldn't be a 'favourite' as such.
It's too much. Anyone who creates tracksuits worn by z-listers (mainly referring to great britain here) shouldn't be of noteworthy credibility.
Then again, look at what happened with Burberry. A few years back, the checks were worn by chavs and were synonymous with 'trash-fashion'. Maybe Juicy is going through some sort of similar transition.

Ali, I think what you said is interesting, and worth thinking about. I think I agree with you, actually.

interesting...
my first thought was moschino cheapandchic 'I love love'.
Don't have a clue about chronological order though.
Benetton was so good to me when I was a child.

Funnily enough, Style.com has the Video of the actual Chanel show from which the photograph showing Gemma's body appeared. She looks... normal in the video. That means normal, not someone with sticks for legs. She looks like a very very very beautiful woman.

I'm so happy I have seen these now! My mother raved on about this editorial for an hour.

I thought this style was over! Some people have said that this isn't exactly a 'middle eastern' style one, and that is true.

A scarf is a scarf. I find the style (size wise) and fabric of these scarves pretty comfortable. I have friends who bought theirs in the respective countries when they were traveling there: they're not gonna stop wearing them because they came into 'fashion'.
You can usually tell who wears these as a 'trend' , and who wears them because they are a useful part of their wardrobe. As with most things.

Isabel Marant did the keffiyeh as well.

Abercrombie's is a pretty (and overpriced, probably) tablecloth. Are they trying to be funny? As in.. parody?

Lil D for Gucci is a bit of a surprise. But, gypsy-chic? ugh. blah.
lol@fanorexics. It's actually very constructive to see models out and about. In the flesh, any myths are disspelled: does she really have big thighs? are her legs that long in real life? does she have good skin?
it's more than just the body, it's also the way they carry themselves.
To be honest though, it is a little disheartening that most of these girls will only get 'fanorexic' attention (to reuse the term). Most people have no idea who they are. They just see a tall pretty girl and carry on.
The attention has to come from somewhere.

Now, back to the real world...

"Love her style"

It's not *her* style. Emmanuelle Alt styled this shoot.

Emmanuelle Alt is a genius. Seriously, she is one professional worth looking up to. Models come and go. Looks come and go .

Vogue Paris constantly books Sasha P, and yes, Emmanuelle was responsible for 'hot- pink - boybody- Sasha -on the beach- with stars.'

Is there a specific 'Emanuelle' Look?

Non. Check your archives.

There is something Miu Miu-esque about the second picture. I agree, I think the lips look a little odd in the cover photograph- then again, she has been photoshopped a lot (or maybe they were really really smart about lighting...?)
This whole translucent skin thing- works if you're Milla Jovovich for L'Oreal, doesn't if we've seen you with a red nose in a movie about the Devil... hehe.

...what would one wear the bag with?
Perhaps leather trousers?
A knitted cap?

It's just another overpriced, easily forgotten about items once the season is over.
They're just trying too hard, in my opinion.

last two guests... cute.
agyness accent is the ying to the yang in a harmony between english accents. it is so far from being what is deemed 'posh'.
plus she is so nice... cannot imagine her doing something like that.
mind is blank, cannot think.
poppy delevingne?

This was one of the first things I ever learned about fashion. I was about 6. Good times!
