Red Carpet Fashion Awards

Monthly Archives: September 2011

Mulberry’s Spring 2012 presentation took place yesterday with two showings in the morning.

As we waited to enter the venue we were treated to ice cream and bottles of pink lemonade which came courtesy of a Mulberry branded vintage ice cream van.

Upon entering the Claridges ballroom it felt like we were walking into a fantasy land full of blow up animals and model ice cream cones.

The next room was the runway decked out like an English beach with sparkling pier lights and fun fair models with “I do like to be beside the seaside” playing in the background.

The collection had a sportswear meets vintage feel with colourful pieces we could wear right now.

We saw hooded trenches, layered sheer long skirts, leggings under dresses, drawstring shorts, column dresses, maxi dress, skirts, macs, gold windbreakers and cropped jackets.

The striped candy pink, mint green and lemon sherbet pieces reminded me of a Twister ice lolly. The rest of the colour palette included fudge, marshmallow white plus navy, black and gold.

The models walked down the runway with Barbarella teased tresses by Sam McKnight. Mathias van Hooff ensured the models has a dewy English Rose glow.

Key accessories were of course the bags which included a brand new Travel Collection. The Alexa and Lily bags were updated with cute teddy rivets and twist locks.

For your pooch keep them warm and dry with a Doggy Rain Mac in blue or lemon sherbet.

Jane Krakowski also attended the 2011 Emmy Awards last night.

She wore a look from her go-to designer, J. Mendel.

Her lightweight lame gown with a pleated skirt is stunning, but I can’t get passed the tan.

It’s almost tomato red than orange and it totally puts me off liking this look.

I love Jane and J. Mendel so this stings.

Casadei heels and Lorraine
 Schwartz completed her look.

Before the Issa Spring 2012 presentation there was talk of Pippa Middleton attending.

Thankfully she didn’t attend because that way we could concentrate on this beautiful colourful collection.

Daniella Helayel transported us to Rio de Janeiro with a collection which was full of tropical colours, print motifs and fun, flirty fabrics.

Bootylicious bathing suits were showcased alongside sexy fringed cocktail dress, prim day dresses, signature figure-flattering shift dresses, maxi dresses, kaftans, sweaters and jumpsuits.

Milliner Stephen Jones created the fascinators and Aquazzura provided the strappy sandals.

Samantha Hillerby at Toni & Guy recreated bouncy glossy locks a la Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, whilst Kay Montano at D+V management made up the models using Eudora.

Front Row: Tinchy Stryder and Camilla Al Fayed

Favourites: Tropical print jumpsuit and blue gown with feather accents

Anna Paquin was joined on the red carpet by her husband Stephen Moyer at the 2011 Emmy Awards last night.

They both wore Alexander McQueen.

She wore a black draped gown from the Resort 2012 collection which was decorated with gold embellished details.

Those golden touches were complemented with gold bracelets, small gold hooped earrings and a gold trimmed Alexander McQueen skull clasp clutch.

The True Blood actress continues to be a great unofficial ambassador for the brand.

Maria Bello also attended the 2011 Emmy Awards in LA last night.

The actress chose a nude one-shouldered Kaufmanfranco gown, embellished with silver sequins in a decorative design.

She accessorized her look with a pretty matching silver clutch and a diamond ring.

Beautiful wavy hair, light makeup and Ferragamo heels completed her look.

I love Maria’s hair and makeup but the gown isn’t working for me.

It’s a very sparkly ensemble, so I am glad she opted for minimal accessories but it’s I really doing or saying anything to get excited about.
