Pucci’s Nude Body

Emilio Pucci's asymmetric cutout lace-up nude swimsuit

Emilio Pucci's New Nude

Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci crafted a new sexy curve in the stimulating shade of nude for Spring/Summer 2010. Watch out! Ready or not – here comes his stunning and striking asymmetric cut-out and lace-up swimsuit (USD $645)! Surely, there’s nothing more provocative than this skin-flashing skin-coloured piece. Namely, playing with the perplexing visual effect using those crafty means of his, it is revealing in that distinctively dangerous and delightfully daring way – bringing us excitement of a new height!

Zegna Sport – As We Want It & As We Like It!

Zegna Sport Spring/Summer 2010

Russian model Vladimir Ivanov in Zegna Sport Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Sportswear was once a naughty word in fashion that nobody likes to even speak of. However, recently, with designers from all over the world coming up with all sorts of sportswear-inspired creative designs, Ermenegildo Zegna’s leisure line Zegna Sport, which specialised in the field since 1999, is certainly leading the pack with its high tech concepts and stylish and comfortable approach.

In Bed and In Love With Matvey Lykov

Dior Homme Spring/Summer 2010 Paris

Russian model Matvey Lykov closes the Dior Homme show.

Growing older and older each day, I no longer strive to put all the models with first names starting with the letter M in my list of favourite models. Yet, out of the blue, somehow it just happened: introducing a new favourite of mine this February is the fabulous Russian model Matvey Lykov. Ever since the day I watched the in bed with Matvey Lykov video - tweeted to me by a little bird from modelhommes, I just could not forget his mighty loveliness. Obviously, by and large, he is very good looking, but what charmed us sharply right through and swept us off both our feet is the fact that he speaks three and a half languages – Russian, English, Spanish and a little bit of Italian. Obviously, we share something common there. Let’s exchange numbers, Matvey and please teach me Spanish!

Alexis Mabille’s Spring/Summer Haute Couture show 2010 is certainly something that I did not expect to see at first glance. No frills. No pretty bows. No lace. The show opened with Belarusian model Olga Sherer dressed in the French designer’s bi-colour pant suit look. As oppose to what the Lyon-born designer had been doing famously, this is certainly something new and fresh.

Jil Sander Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Milan

Danish model Adrian Bosch shows off Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2010 Collection in Milan

A walk into Jil Sander’s sleek minimalist store, we discovered an irresistible menswear collection that made us drool so bad that completely ruining the store’s all around pleasant ambience eventually became the ultimate most undeserved fate for the lovely luxury store.

Paint the Town A Dazzling Shade of Black in Viktor & Rolf’s Stunning Little Black Dress

Just as you think you have had enough of the little black dress, here comes another one – making its way gracefully as the cool new kid on the block in my favourite list. In many ways, this little number (EUR 785,00) by Dutch designer duo Viktor and Rolf is beyond special. Naturally, the first thing that caught our eye is the razzle-dazzling diamante element. However, the exquisite material (100% China Silk), its stunning slightly squared-off shape (around the hips) as well as its fantastic front pockets design are not to be left unsaid. Wearable may not a word directly linked to the avant-garde Designers at all times, but this simply ingenious piece certainly shows the world something different! Just stunning!

Viktor and Rolf’s short silk dress with front pockets is available at The Corner.

Zara TRF is Terrific!

Russian model Ranya Mordanova stars in Zara TRF’s Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Russian model Ranya Mordanova stars in Zara TRF’s Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Russian models Ranya Mordanova and Arthur Daniyarov team up for a hip young ad campaign for the Spanish retail giant Zara’s young casual line TRF. Fear not these wild black and white images, although they may remind you of the rebellious attitude from the movie Rebel without a Cause (1955) – featuring the ever so cool James Dean. Incredible individuality is what we praise precisely in this amazing ad campaign. Brilliant rock ‘n’ roll denim pieces paired with understated leather jackets finished off with bold metallic jewellery are unquestionably the key ingredient to success this season. Celebrate youth!

Dries Van Noten Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Paris

Adrian Bosch, Nikola Jovanovic and Jakob Weichmann in Dries Van Noten

The first thing that caught my critical eye for coolness from Dries van Noten’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 runway show for men was… Adrian Bosch the charming camel trench coat with the fudge boning as worn by Danish model Adrian Bosch (see picture above). I love the boning, as it creates a youthful vibe, as if those clean lines were drawn on playfully, while giving it a sleek structure, which I adore so much.

Patrizia Pepe’s On Fire!

Russian model Masha Novoselova stars in Patrizia Pepe's Spring Summer 2010 Ad Campaign

Who else could work Patrizia Pepe’s Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign as amazing as the sizzling hot Russian-born British model Masha Novoselova? Correct me if I’m wrong: dressed in the Italian label’s dazzling collection, the 24-year old sexy Siren, who stars in the campaign for the second time, truly looks like she’s on fire! Well… What are we waiting for? Shall we throw her into the water?

I simply cannot believe I did not see Viktor & Rolf’s Resort 2010 collection earlier. I mean everything in the collection is so phenomenally beautiful that I really hope each and every piece of the collection could and would make its way to the stores. Unquestionably, it ought to!
