Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: September 2009

Jenni Kayne’s Spring 2010 presentation was one of the first shows I attended during Fashion Week.

It would’ve been an enjoyable experience if it wasn’t for the models who huffed and puffed and acted like they really didn’t want to be there.

Trying to get them to pose for pictures was a nightmare, because they just weren’t interested and it was really off putting.

Thankfully this type of behaviour didn’t present itself at any other show.

If you want to show-off your toned abs, this is the collection for you with some pieces cut-out to expose your midriff.

“American sportswear with an edge” was the theme for this collection. I didn’t catch the edgier part, but I did notice that excluding one silver mini dress their didn’t appear to be any evening wear.

Thakoon

Ciara was easily one of my favourites at Fashion Week.

She looked so beautiful wearing a Thakoon wool crepe shift dress which had a contrast black chiffon lining and trim, paired with Louboutin pumps.

Donna Karan

Milla Jovovich’s striped Donna Karan Resort 2009 dress is so chic paired with silver pumps.

Altuzarra

I guess Altuzarra weren’t loaning out clothes for their star guests because Leighton Meester wore an eggplant Emilio de la Morena Fall 2009 dress with Proenza Schouler lace-up ankle boots…

…whilst Rachel McAdams wore a navy and white striped Boy by Band of Outsiders Spring 2010 skirt with a black top.

Charlotte Ronson

Jessica Stroup wore a flirty floral Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 strapless dress which is so exclusive it wasn’t even seen in the Spring 2010 presentation.

She paired her dress with snake-skin strappy sandals.

Marc Jacobs

Lady GaGa wears the same Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 black cap sleeved dress embellished with jeweled stones, which Miss Piggy wore recently.

I wonder who the winner of that WWIB poll will be?

Tommy Hilfiger

I just love this red dress which Taylor Swift pairs with Stuart Weitzman black bow heels.

So vibrant.

Preen

Becki Newton wore a Preen Mixed Mono dress under a black blazer.

I would’ve loved to have seen this dress without the blazer to see more of its multi-print panel design.

Proenza Schouler

Leighton Meester doesn’t look to happy in her Proenza Schouler Resort 2010 ensemble and I don’t blame her.

Max Azria

Lucy Liu was elegant and classy as always wearing a cream fitted Max Azria dress.

Maggie Q’s Max Azria vibrant yellow dress really pops on her.

I love how she brings this strapless draped dress to life.

For the love of god, can someone PLEASE, Please, please help this girl.

Even if you take her to Topshop, just so she can see what girls her age wear.

What the fudge is she wearing?

The runway version of her Dsquared² Fall 2009 was not hiked up to the thigh displaying fish-net tights.

There is no need for all the modifications.

When Selena Gomez is getting it so right, Miley gets it so very wrong.

Another red carpet event, and another missed opportunity for Whitney Port to promote her own Spring 2010 collection.

This time the designer opts for a La Perla Spring 2009 black chiffon dress with nude underlay and jeweled shoulder detail. *shudders*

What was she thinking?

Hopefully not that this is a good look, because she would be wrong.

Finally a Kelly Clarkson look I really love.

The singer wore a stunning black velvet one shoulder David Meister gown with feather corsage.

Everything works.

It looks like Whitney Port can’t even get her BFF to wear her Spring 2010 collection, which is not fair as Whitney wore Lauren Conrad Collection several times.

Lauren Conrad wore a green sequined Alice + Olivia dress paired with black satin peep-toes.

I do like this look, surprisingly it’s not boring.

Jennifer Hudson proudly shows off her post-baby figure wearing a figure hugging metallic dress with thigh-high boots.

Love Leona Lewis’ lilac off-the-shoulder Halston gown, but I absolutely hate the black Vivienne Westwood corset.

So unnecessary and makes this a waste of a stunning gown.

Jordin Sparks’ dress lack any.

Sparks that is.

Sheryl Crow opted for a red satin Dolce & Gabbana dress with black tulle overlay with a black waistband.

We normally see more colour or a rocker look from Sheryl, so this is a refreshing change.

“Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married”.

Toni Braxton’s white gown is too bridal for my tastes.

TV personality Kim Zolciak gets herself notice wearing a Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 dress as worn by Madonna.

UK singer Adele wore a black Barbara Tfank dress which had gold ribbon embroidery.

I was excited to receive my invitation to the Michael Kors Spring 2010 show the night before the show.

I was even more excited when I arrived to see my seat assignment with name on it, plus a bottle of ‘Very Hollywood’ by Michael Kors perfume.

The show notes indicated that there would be 64 looks so I knew I would be in for a treat.

The collection was perfect for the chic uptown New Yorker, with its sleek architectural shapes and asymmetry.

The colour palette was a beautiful mix of white, black, blue, grey, silver, pink, blue, lilac and pistachio.

The collection included oversized cashmere cardigans and sweaters, some with only one sleeve and others with cut-outs. The cashmere pieces were paired with skirts.

Zips added toughness to looks, as did defined shoulders.

There were many cut-outs on pieces and some were filled in with perspex. This was added to the sides of a black swimsuit, across dresses and shoes to give the spring looks a bit of a ’60s vibe.

Sequins covered evening cocktail dress, which would be a perfect alternative to a gown on the red carpet.
