17.02.09 Runway To Red Carpet

Runway To Y-3 Front Row – Kim Kardashian In Maison Martin Margiela


Is it really possible for someone to go from looking incredibly hoochie in Herve Leger, to wearing gorgeous red Gustavo Cadile gowns, to Maison Martin Margiela in the space of 6 months?

When Kim Kardashian was squeezing her curves into bandages dresses last year, if I said then that she would have been one to watch in 2009, you would have have advised me to stop blogging whilst drunk.

I nearly feel off my chair when I saw Kim Kardashian wearing a Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2008 jacket, to the Y-3 fashion show at New York Fashion Week.

It’s a shock, but a pleasant shock because I think she works it well, without looking like she tired too too hard.

Her look with the leather pants, and the YSL Trib Two’s, definitely needed a belt, so I applaud her for that.

I also love the make-up. Kim’s directional, edgy look puts her up for Best Dressed this week.

What do you guys think?

Too much too soon? Or a step in the right direction?

Carlos Miele Fall 2009



Carlos Miele’s Spring 2009 collection saw me seated behind Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune, and directly opposite French Vogue editor, Carine Roitfeld.

With such high profile fashion figures in the room, I anticipated a great show, and I wasn’t let down.

The show started with Max Decastro, playing guitar on the runway. At many points during the show, I was worried he might collide with the models, but this didn’t happen.

With the tunes playing in the background, the show was very energetic and upbeat.

There was lots of colour and sleek silhouettes. Reds, taupes, blacks and lime greens were presented. Prints also featured heavily, which added another dimension to the collection.

Boleros were featured with gowns, in knit, fur, and pleated chiffon.

I loved the gowns, but I was equally blown away with the cocktail dresses. My favourite was a ruched taupe mini dress with on long sleeve, and on that shoulder was a gorgeous sparkly cluster of embellishments.

The collection had amazing workmanship, and I can see many of the gowns presented ending up on the red carpet. I particularly loved the black gown, with the embellished detail on the hip.


Here are some of my better pictures.


Katharine McPhee seemed to be very interested in the collection. She arrived at the show wearing a nude high-collared corduroy dress, under a black blazer and a black belt to nip in her waist.

I like the shoes and the blazer. The Spring 2009 dress? not so much on her. It looked better on the runway.

17.02.09 Who Wore It Better?

Who Wore Catherine Malandrino Better? Laura Dern or Alicia Witt


Laura Dern wore this two-toned haltered Malandrino Resort 2009 gown, when she attended the Critics Choice Awards 2009 last month.

The chiffon dress had an empire waistline embellished with multicoloured pailettes.

She accessorized with a silver jewelry, and a shimmering box clutch.

Less than two weeks later Alicia Witt wore the same dress to the RIAA and Feeding America Inauguration Charity Ball.

The actress wore her hair in a loose curly updo, and completed her look with a very similar – if not the same – shimmering box clutch.

Alicia wins this for me, because I prefer her hairstyle with this dress, to Laura’s.

Carolina Herrera Fall 2009



Carolina Herrera’s Fall 2009 presentation was everything you would expect.

Glamourous, sophisticated, elegant and rich in both colour and textures.

Carolina presented many dresses, pant suits and gowns which were breathtakingly beautiful. The fabric that immediately jumped out was bronze jacquard, but lace, suede and silks were also used. The amazing mix help the clothes shimmer and sparkle, without any bling.

The room was pitch black, with only two spotlights focusing on the entering and exiting models.

They walked very fast, and for me it was very hard to digest the collection. As I was thinking “that would look great on…” then next model was whizzing by.

The collection came out in blocks of colours. First up was the copper bronzes, followed by green, taupe, black, and the rich colours of blue and violet.

The silhouette concentrated on the waist, and elongating the female form, with slim pants and narrow skirts.

The gowns were stunning. I particular liked the one that begins to flare at the knee and ends with a full, rounded, layered hem, and the blue and purple floral chiffon gown with one cold shoulder.


Here are my crappy pictures.

I did not seen any celebs, but I did see two designers. Christian Siriano and Tory Burch.

17.02.09 Social Events of The Week

V-Day LA Luncheon

Charlize Theron has been MIA on the red carpet for a while, so it was nice to see her in a laid back casual look at this event. She wore head to toe black including a LBD, tights and ankle booties.

A make-up free Jessica Alba also opted for all black. I love her short-sleeved black top with black shorts, which she wore with black and white striped heels.

Anne Hathaway broke up the her all black look, with a black Andrew GN Spring 2009 dress which had a gold beaded neckline, and a gold rope belt.

Black pumps complete the look.

Thankfully Kerry Washington did not get the ‘all black memo’ as she arrived looking Spring fresh wearing a white and coral Jason Wu Spring 2009 ensemble, including a striped skirt, an embroidered blouse and a grey blazer.

Farah Angsana Fall 2009





Farah Angsana was the first of 3 shows I attended today. It was a 9am start, but I was glad to be awoken by this Fall 2009 collection of stunning pieces.

I expected to see fabulous gowns and couture designs, but I was absolutely blown away by what I saw.

The tailoring and attention to detail was exquisite, from the embroidery to the embellishments, which I really appreciated seeing the show live.

The colour palette consisted of golds, bright reds, purples and silvery blues.

I loved the poncho’s which were embellished with either with feathers or intricate silver embroidery. The collars were also decorated with either feathered or fur.

My pictures of the Swarovski embellished bodices really do not do Farah’s work justice, as they were spectacular. That red gown has to make the red carpet.

I hope Kellie Pickler, who was in the front row, was paying particular attention to the red carpet gowns. Everyone was more breath-taking the last. My favourite was the black, gold and red strapless gown, with a skirt that was inspired by dragon scales.

This was a truly magnificent collection, and I can’t wait to see them on the red carpet.


I will guess the Kellie Pickler has been reading my blog, because the ghostly make-up has disappeared, and today she was looking more like her usual beautiful self.

She wore a stunning navy blue strapless dress, with dual button detailing. She wore her dress with YSL Trib Two’s.

I also attended the Carolina Herrera show (♥♥) and the Carlos Miele show (♥♥) which I will blog about when I get back tonight.
