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?

Chloé Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Chloé Spring Summer Ready to wear 2010 Collection Paris

Perhaps it’s the golden rays she sends out each season at Chloé, I’m actually warming up to Hannah MacGibbon – Creative Director of the French Luxury Fashion House. Well… It’s not the most avant-garde show I have ever seen, but nonetheless, it’s delightful and it’s desirable! With this winning combination, I am confident that Chloé’s financial matters will be enjoying quite a pleasant ride in the forthcoming fall.

Spring/Summer 2010 Runway’s Fantastic Five

Well… After four fantastic fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris, it’s time to round everything up. One of the things to work on is, of course, to make a list of favorite models, especially the ones who made our heart pulse faster and faster as they walked on the runway. For me, there were five girls, who I just can’t seem to get enough of this spring/summer 2010. Here they are in alphabetical order.

Scandinavian sells: Freja Beha Erichsen and Frida Gustavsson

Scandinavian sells: Freja Beha Erichsen and Frida Gustavsson

The first two girls from the list both hail from Scandinavia and their names both start with a fantastic letter: Freja Beha Erichsen from Denmark and Frida Gustavsson from Sweden. I just love Freja’s versatility and her unique personality. She can wear any masculine or feminine outfits and she will look striking in both! I also love the fact that she doesn’t just wear the clothes. She works the clothes in her own style, when she wears it. It is no wonder that she scored 43 shows this spring/summer. Freja’s highlight this season must be at the Chanel show when she kissed with Dutch model Lara Stone in the hay. Cheeky!

Spotted

Riding in car with Hanne

Riding in car with Hanne

@ Tsim Sha Tsui:

  • @ Miss Sixty: Collection looks very in trend with today; and in that way, everything seemed a little safe. Nonetheless, for women, we spotted a fierce jumpsuit with animalia print, black jacket with lavish fur sleeve – very Givenchy in appearance indeed – and a crazy graffiti bubble dress; for men, we liked the tie dye jumpers. It’s very cool!
  • @ Energie: Energie has power popeye Tees. 100% mighty cool!
  • @ Vivienne Westwood: Be outstanding and have wild fun wearing her leopard print multi-color-stripped dress!
  • @ Moussy: The Tees are so nice to touch. You just don’t want to stop touching it. Anyway, they also have some pants with a print that looks very much like Alexander McQueen’s signature dogtooth print. It’s a good alternative, but Moussy’ll never be the same as McQueen.
  • @ Y-3: Trompe l´oeil seems to be an ‘it’ thing in fashion these days. Y-3 also has Tees with those lively prints.
  • @ Lane Crawford: In love with green framed sunnies from Gucci and Prada.
  • @ Joyce: Love the beautiful cut in Damir Doma’s collection. It instantly makes me want to be a man!
  • @ Y’s Yohji Yamamoto: Sales staff at Y’s Yohji Yamamoto looked so super bored. *yawn yawn yawn*
  • @ Missoni. Saw a huge billboard with Hanne’s face. It made me feel like I was cruising freely with her away from the great flood of people and in the beautiful country side[1]. Oh… It makes me want their catalog/lookbook so badly, but they probably don’t have one for customers.
  • @ Dsquared: An instore event attracted lots of very important fashion people and  a handful of wannabes hanging instore and outside sipping bubbly champagne and enjoying the high life. Spotted woman wearing Givenchy open toe bootie and Balmain power pagoda shoulder jacket. She looked like a fashion victim.

Endnote:
[1] The campaign was shot at Floyd Bennett Airfield in Brooklyn, as revealed by Supreme Blog.

Dear Alexander Wang

Dear Alex, in-house designers and associates,

Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele in Alexander Wang Resort 2010

Never in my life have I imagined myself saying this, but with the evident of the recent growing amount of posts on your celebrated fashion label, I am proud to say: you are really starting to grow on me and I am starting to like you and your work more and more. Your Cruise 2010 Collection is in fact perfectly charming and I believe it is perfect for me. I love how you kept the collection so urban – casual, but so sophisticated and sexy! Something that sounds so easy to achieve, but in fact is no piece of cake.

Balenciaga Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Since I like my clothes sharp and strong, I was expecting and kind of really wanted to see the remarkable return of technorobo for Balenciaga this season. Well… This only made it all the more unpredictable and beyond amazing to see designer Nicolas Ghesquière turning the wheels once again and redefining the refined Parisian label for Spring/Summer 2010. Well… Afterall, we are entering another new decade [1]. This pleasant collection surely accompanies us through the times and pushes us forward to be ready for the imminent future, that is bright and full of energy and enlightened optimism.

Oh, Miu Miu! Is it not the most magnificent, the most marvellous and the most magical show of all this Spring/Summer 2010? With a charming collection shown on a fantastic set with fabulous music, Miuccia Prada certainly did not disappoint me! Not one tiny single bit at all!

Chloé Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Freja Beha Erichsen, Hanne Gaby Odiele and Magdalena Frackowiak in Chloé

Freja Beha Erichsen, Hanne Gaby Odiele and Magdalena Frackowiak in Chloé

It was so nice to see Chloé’s Spring/Summer 2010 show. First of all, Freja, the first face at the show (Yay!), looked so super womanly with her long hair. Secondly, there is only 29 looks! Really, anywhere between 25-35 is the ideal number of looks to present in a show for me. 40 looks and above is dangerous, because it could really be mindbogging and loses the effect. Win a go, Hannah!
