No. 21 Spring 2013

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s No. 21 Spring 2013 collection was feminine with a boyish edge.

We saw sheath dresses, wide-sleeved tops, shirts and dresses, double-slit skirts and wide-legged cropped pants, with clean lines in boxy, oversized shapes.

The colour palette was mostly black, white and blue with pops of red, purple and nude with a playful harlequin print featuring on pieces towards the end of the presentation.

For those who like to sparkle, Alessandro presented some glittery Swarovski crystal-embellished dresses for evening wear, with one dress embroidered with what appeared to be bottle caps.

Key accessories included zipper pouches and satin pumps.

Models sported hot red lips and centre-parted hair swept back off their shoulders.

Favourites: Black lace dress and blue tank top and white skirt

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Diane Kruger, Zoe Saldana, Alexa Chung, Rooney Mara and Liv Tyler

Jennifer Garner In YSL, No.21 & Jason Wu – ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ Promo Tour

Jennifer Garner had a busy week in New York City promoting her upcoming movie ‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’.

She gave us three looks, but only one pair of YSL black suede Mary Jane ankle-strap sandals.

On Tuesday she was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre prior to her guest appearance on the ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ wearing a YSL navy dress with black leather panels.

A few hours later she attended a screening for her movie wearing a chic black-and-white ensemble by No. 21.

The next day she was up early for a guest appearance on ‘Good Morning America’ wearing Jason Wu.

I can’t say that any of them are screaming BDOTW, but each look suits her no-fuss style.

As event appropriate as they are, I’m hoping she will give some glamour at the premieres.

No. 21 Fall 2012

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s No. 21 Fall 2012 collection produced an extreme mixture of looks that I can’t wait to see on the likes of Diane Kruger and Zoe Saldana.

On the one hand we saw sexy ultra-feminine lightweight dresses with peek-a-boo bras and negligees, and on the other hand sporty tweed military-inspired layered pieces which are perfect for someone like Alexa Chung.

The designer cited Queen Elizabeth in her private life, gardening in the country as his inspiration – done in a contemporary way of course.

Apart from the dresses we saw boxy coats, bejewelled skirts, slouchy tweed pants and layered tops.

Key accessories included oversized embellished leather gloves and a newly launched footwear venture for the designer who served up ankle-strap peep-toes and pumps.

No. 21 Spring 2012

Thanks to Diane Kruger, Zoe Saldana and several top editors, I have become slightly obsessed with No. 21.

After looking for it everywhere during New York Fashion Week, I was excited to learn yesterday that it’s stocked in Fenwicks on Bond Street.

The No. 21 Spring 2012 collection combined feminine and masculine pieces to present a totally wearable collection.

Alessandro Dell’Acqua’s masculine looks included a blue-collared light blue shirt with tapered pants. An oversized top was paired with blue embellished shorts. A sweater was paired with silk boxers and we also saw printed pyjama-like ensembles.

The sexy feminine looks included a cropped knit sweater layered over a blouse which was paired with a check pencil skirt. Bralets were paired with pencil skirts alongside knee-length printed skirts, striped cardigans and a selection of dresses ranging from daywear to evening wear.

The colour palette consisted of light blue, black, white, camel and bronze.

Key accessories included long chains with leather pendants, aqua drop earrings, gold and silver embellished pumps and iPad-thin clutches in plaid and python.

I loved that they played my favourite song during the finale: Pat Benatar’s “Love Is A Battlefield.”

Favourites: Blue top with blue sequin shorts and plaid skirt paired with layered top

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Kate Bosworth, Zoe Saldana, Ginnifer Goodwin, Megan Fox and Camilla Belle

Zoe Saldana In No. 21 – Nas’ 38th Birthday Party

Zoe Saldana attended Nas’ 38th birthday party held at Catch in New York City on Wednesday.

The gorgeous actress chose a sexy No. 21 Resort 2012 look for the occasion.

Her seductive black dress features a built-in nude peek-a-boo bra and thin spaghetti straps.

Zoe opted not to wear the belt the dress was originally paired with and accessorized with black strappy Sergio Rossi ‘Profile’ heels and a black clutch.

Pretty gold jewelry including a Jennifer Meyer ‘Z’ charm necklace, Irene Neuwirth earrings and a diamond cocktail ring added some interesting detail to her ensemble.

I love this super sophisticated look on Zoe, especially her jewelry.

She completed her look with a chic updo, brown smoky eyeshadow and deep red nails.
