I love gloves! It’s great, because it keeps your fingers warm during those hideously freezing cold days and also, it’s so unbelievably stylish and chic! For sure, it is something every woman should have in their closet. My choice for this season is a delicate pair in black. It makes a sleek and smart statement that is everlastingly elegant. Top three choices from Luisa via Roma are (from left to right):

Dear Robert,
Please do not say I never consider for your welfare and that I only like to toy with your feelings and make your life miserable by parading Mathias you-know-who and loads of perfection in front of you. On the contrary of what you see on the surface, your happiness is indeed on the very top of my never-ending to-do list – just hidden deep down beneath me. Please accept this truck-load of images of Lucia as a token of my appreciation for your extreme effort on this blog.

Danish Label By Malene Birger For Unicef Bow Tee
Every season, the marvellous Danish designer Malene Birger designs a T-Shirt for Unicef in order to raise much needed funds for children-in-need; and this terrific T-Shirt is the fruit of this season by her lovely label By Malene Birger. For me, the price of this Bow Tee at $120 USD is a little high, nontheless, giving someone the Gift of Goodness this Christmas is certainly priceless. Available at Les Nouvelles online and at Seibu in Hong Kong.

Lenz von Johnston, Clement Chabernaud and Danny Schwarz in Versace Uomo Spring Summer Ready-to-wear 2010
I just love Versace’s show, because it’s not for every man. It’s for hot man only! For Spring/Summer 2010, Donatella Versace presented a light collection that is sleek, sophisticated and so so so super sexy. The colours used range from crisp white, camel, peachy nudes, grey then finally, black. This gradual transition of colours perfectly mirrors a man’s wardrobe from day to night during the spring summer season – light colours for day and black for the evening time. The essence of the collection for me is in the precision in tailoring and a conspicuous confidence – drowned in the luxurious Italian fashion label’s distinctive lavish style from head to toe. Shown by a parade of muscular models - complete with delicious 6-packs - catwalking along to the cool beats of The Rakes’ 22 Grand Job and The Maccabes’ X-ray vision, the runway presentation was an infectious affair that gets me catwalking out of the venue wishing that I have Lenz in my arms.

Spanish model Sheila Márquez with boyfriend Christian Brylle
Dear Robert,
Since I don’t get you-know-who this month, I’m going to take your most beloved further away from you. Hohohohoooo!!! In order to keep you informed of reality and not the dream world, I HAVE to tell you this and there is no kind way to say this, so I’m going to say this directly: Sheila already has a boyfriend – Danish model and photographer Christian Brylle – and they are 100% happily in love!!! Recently, the good looking Gucci boy worked together with Sheila, the super Stylist, for V61. Together, the cute couple produced a love child some of the most amazing photographs for a photo shoot entitled Copenhagen. So please accept your fate and move on!
Yours most kindly,
-Your Mental Adviser-
P.S. I mean no harm. Really!

Estonian model Carmen Kass stares in Mogg’s Fall Winter 2009 Ad campaign
The extraordinary Estonian model Carmen Kass stares in the fabulous Fall/Winter 2009/10 ad campaign for Korean fashion label Mogg and we just love everything about it – from the presentation of the ad campaign to the actual clothes! There is this distinctive sense of architectural structuralism built into the construction of the clothes to create this super sleek silhouette for an incredibly sophisticated and sexy look. “I love being a real woman and dressing for the part,” says Ms. Kass. “It’s about style, not fashion.” Two pieces that you must not miss are the cape coat and the luxurious fur coat. Smart and chic, no?

Ukrainian model Alyona Osmanova in Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Miss Marc T-Shirt in black
Ok. To be honest, if this set of Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Miss Marc Tee and my Luella Tee fall into the ocean simultaneously and both were soon to be mercilessly attacked and eaten by a big ugly shark, I would… rescue my Luella Tee! Of course! With that being said, I don’t think Mr. Jacobs will send me a free T-Shirt, ohhh… my last hope is on Ms. Bartley for sure. Nonetheless, although Miss Marc is not for me, I really like how Alyona wears it. So young, so fresh, so adorable! Available in black and white at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and net-a-porter.

Eglė Tvirbutaitė for DURAS ambient Fall Winter 2009 Ad Campaign
If it’s not because of Edgy Eglė, I wouldn’t have learnt of this Japanese brand. Dressed in all black with lips painted a distinctive shade of red, Ms. Tvirbutaitė just oozes sex in every picture of DURAS ambient’s Fall/Winter 2009/10 ad campaign. She is vampy, but she is not a tramp! The collection as a whole exudes the same highly sexualised vibe as the Lithuanian beauty’s body language suggests. We love those sparkly armour-like leggings with the cut outs at the knee, the lavish (faux?) Givenchy-esque fur pieces and of course, the shoes – particularly those irresistible over-the-knee boots! Fashion’s black out by DURAS ambient is oh-so-chic!
