Ginta Lapina in Black and White

When I first spotted button-cute Platinum blonde model Ginta Lapina – curse me – I thought she is just a simple dolly face with nothing special. Oh, that’s surely my bad! After intensely studying watching her Models Talk Video for Spring/Summer 2010 (Gawd! I’m such a sucker for Models Talk Videos by FTV!), I got to “know” her better and now I have fallen deeply in love with the ethereal beauty from the Baltic States. I just love her depth, her maturity and most of all, her passion for Art. What an extraordinary girl with an extraordinary face? We truly adore her inside and out. Be sure to check the lovely Latvian Lady’s Models Talk Video out!

Ginta wears pure white dress (USD $298.00) with jewelled neckline in black and sexy deep V-neck jersey halter gown (USD $398.00) in this post. All from BCBG Max Azria. Available at Bloomingdales.

There are times, when I think is it really necessary for Lacoste to do a show each season? I mean what else can you do with sportswear? It’s always the same ol’ stuff! However, each season, Creative Director Christophe Lemaire proposes a strong well-argumentted rebut that leaves me gasping for more!

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.

Luca Luca Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 New York

After seeing some of the most extraordinary work in London, Milan and Paris, New York Fashion Week just seems dull. Luca Luca used to be one of those interesting houses for me – fresh and innovative. That was back in 2003 though, when Milan-born designer Luca Orlandi was still in the house. Well… Nowadays, presence-wise, the American label just feels weak and I can see why from this collection.

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!

Céline by Phoebe Philo Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Paris

Yes, I do miss Ivana, but… well… one must move on. Seeing the first look from the new collection at the French house of Céline is surely a pleasant surprise. What? It’s leather for spring/summer! So tough, yet so absolutely chic! These contrasting elements certainly create the chemical sparks for a blasting introduction to the second super charming collection by British designer Phoebe Philo for Céline.

Christopher Kane Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 London

It was slightly shocking for me to see that Christopher Kane, the celebrated British designer, did not build onto last season’s glittery glam influence, despite its pleasant reception; but rather swapped it for something completely banal: checks. In a derogatory manner, it is something that reminds me of 50s housewives and boring farmers from the outback. However, worked by the magic hands of Mr. Kane, ordinary everydays checks are turned instantly into check-me-out checks! Voila! Get ready to fly in another one of Mr. Kane’s most wanted collection!
