Clothe Yourselves with Love from Chloé

Pre-fall 2010. Available at Bergdorf Goodman

Canadian model Alana Zimmer wears Chloé wool sweater dress

I just adore this Chloé wool sweater dress (USD$1,385.00). I love its simplicity and how it exudes a kind of idyllic beauty through its feline form and understated design. Made in Italy, every inch of this gray ribbed merino wool dress – from its simple half sleeves, its wonderful waffle-knit cuffs detail to its beautiful Ballerina neckline with multicolor diamond-shaped beading – is simply divine. Without a doubt, this pretty grey dress would be a great buy of pre-fall 2010 till the day I hit the graves.

Hot in Helmut Lang

Available at Neiman Marcus.

Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele wears Helmut Lang's Puckered lace detail dress.

Last month, we wrote about Helmut Lang’s exquisite Puckered Lace-Detail Dress ($425.00) available at Barneys, net-a-porter, La Garçonne, shopbop and Saks Fifth Avenue. Just as we thought we have included all the retailers of this drop dead gorgeous dress in the never-ending list, here comes one we have somehow missed: Neiman Marcus. Shown on Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele, the dress’s seductive power comes alive – modern, yet mysterious and magnificently youthful. Really – how could we resist Helmut Lang’s black magic?

VPL – Visibly Pretty Lingerie.

VPL lingerie

VPL's sexy and sporty underwear

With sportswear-inspired body conscious clothing in the spotlight this season, there’s no better time to show off your visible panty line. Perfect for this job is the underwear collection from New York based label VPL. Established by stylist Victoria Bartlett, VPL begs for differ in terms of their philosophy and concept of design by making underwear something no longer suitable to be hidden underneath, but rather, as the acronym of the label suggests, visible. When you see the designs, the reasons would become naturally evident. Obviously, it is stylish and sexy, but what’s more is that it brings out an idiosyncratically sunny and healthy altitude – that is evermore fresh and fascinating. So what are you waiting for? Show off your VPL proud and loud!

Shown in the picture above are VPL’s insertion bra (USD$95.00), Stripe B Bra in Coral (also available in Navy – USD $85.00) and Stripe B Undi in Navy (USD $75.00). Available at Barneys and La Garçonne.

A quick look at Proenza Schouler’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 show, the designer duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough’s effort for pre-fall 2010 made sense as a prelude to the stunning show, which turned the inferno of sexuality to a sizzling extreme.

marc-jacobs-spring-summer-2010-mens-adrian-bosch-29

Danish model Adrian Bosch shows off Marc Jacob’s Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.

For Spring/Summer 2010, American designer Marc Jacobs focused on streamlined slim cut, solid structure, contrasting features, pleated details and eccentric prints for his eponymous fashion label for men. Showcased by Danish model Adrian Bosch, the collection features a range of practical yet remarkably unexpected pieces. From simple sleek slim cut jackets to easy striped T-Shirts and lavish sweaters, each piece exhibites the confidence and immaculate sophistication yielding an irresistible reaction amongst us as mere viewers of the lookbook. The presentation of the usual fabulous pants suit look is accompanied by a fresh new pairing to account for the effects of global warming: pleated shorts worn with a charming coat and gorgeous sandals for the man who is always ready for changes.

P.S. I Love U

Proenza Schouler's Flower Power

Proenza Schouler's Flower Power

There’s nothing I like more than strolling around in a pretty floral dress on a Sunday Morning in Spring. That might sound cliché, but the feeling it brings is simply sublime and you know you look divine, when you feel it. My top choice for the upcoming season is no doubt Proenza Schouler’s Sleeveless Floral-Print Dress. Whether for day or night, Proenza Schouler’s Folded Halter Dress truly beholds the ultimate flower power with its urban chic charms to make us feel 100% fine in its distinctly feminine design. P.S., we truly love you to death!

Available at La Garçonne (USD $1,175.00), Neiman Marcus (USD $1,175.00), Barneys (USD $1,175.00) and Saks Fifth Avenue (USD $1,385.00).

Zac Posen’s Green Vision

Zac Posen Cruise 2010

Zac Posen Cruise 2010

At first, I was not exactly sure about Zac Posen’s green and polka dotted vision for Cruise 2010. My first thought was: “What is it? Christmas in July with Santa camouflaged in the Safari Jungle?” But then, after seeing its adaptation on Bergdorf Goodman, I became rather fond of it. It’s sweet, fresh, young and chic – a combination that acts as a perfect charm for Cruise 2010, which we simply cannot get enough of now and forever!

Presented in the picture above are Zac Posen’s Shutter-Pleated Silk Blouse (USD $690.00 ) & Lace-Overlay Pencil Skirt (USD $990.00); Polka-Dot Knit Dress (USD $490.00); and Satin Cornelia Dress (USD $1,590.00). Available at Bergdorf Goodman, net-a-porter and Neiman Marcus.

Revision: Proenza Schouler’s Vision

See Me Under The Sun in Proenza Schouler's Sunnies!

See Me Under The Sun in Proenza Schouler's Sunnies!

Today, we revisit Spring/Summer 2009. Something I totally missed oh-so-unfortunately from that glorious season is Proenza Schouler’s funky sunglasses (USD $310.00). I like them, because the rounded frames add a quirky yet chic touch to any outfit, any look. The best thing of all, I find about them, is that they look great whether surfing in the Beach or cruising around the City.

Proenza Schouler’s sunglasses come in an envelope-style textured brown leather soft case with snap closure. Dust cloth included. Available at La Garçonne.

Elsa Sylvan – Oh, So Super Sweet!

When it comes to selecting my favourite models, I am very critical upon who I choose; and perhaps because of that, usually by the time I am able to distinctly utter the name of my favourite model for definite and without pauses, she is not on the fashion radar anymore. Today, I am glad to announce Elsa Sylvan as my favourite model of all time. Although the sweet Swede might be a quiet speaker, her presence on the runway is nothing silent. With her strong persona and love for mother nature, she is for sure a gem in the fashion world. If you are still not sure about this 22 year old, be sure to check out her models talks by Fashion TV. You’ll love her!
