When it comes to designer collections that strike my fancy, Nina Ricci is near the very top of my list. There’s something so simple about the way Peter Copping designs clothes, and yet with a fine attention to detail. For the Spring 2015 Collection, shown at Paris Fashion Week, that established lady-like poise returned, this time with a landscape of color. The silhouettes were loose and makeup was romantic. Biggest statement of all was the jewelry – with oversized gemstones eclectically paired together for the ultimate statement pieces. It’s perhaps, the loudest Nina Ricci has been in quite some time.
PFW : BREAKING NEWS at Rochas Spring 2015
Breaking News: I interrupt your daily routine to bring you some groundbreaking news from Paris Fashion Week, (and no it does not involve a Kardashian!). Rochas has debuted some new, revolutionary technology that is sure to change all of our lives: the boob seat belt. Ladies, fear no more that life will put your girls in harms way. Now they were stay securely strapped to your chest, no matter what storm they weather.
OBVIOUSLY this life-changing achievement is sure to garner a lot of critical acclaim, so…as your runway scout I felt it is my solemn duty to bring this joyous news to your attention. I mean, it’s not every day – season or even year, that something this huge comes along. It’s bringing safety measures to high fashion – an issue we do not see dealt with enough. I can only hope Rochas’ boob seat belt will pave the way for more fashion designers to incorporate safety tactics into clothing designs. Might I suggest some personal items for first aid? Gauze skirts and band aid bandeau tops? Dual side airbags sewn into the torso of a gown to prevent injury when falling? Really, the sky is the limit!

There is no word yet as to when these boob seat belts will be available to the general public. Nor has Rochas disclosed any information about testing and the effectiveness of the belts. But, it is still the dawn of a new day and these should hopefully be readily available come next spring.
Till then, we’ll just have to live in fear without the guaranteed safety of Rochas’ thoughtful design. Good luck!

PFW : Balenciaga Spring 2015 Collection
Guys, I am SO excited about the current state of Balenciaga. Alexander Wang has come in and done some really great things with this brand! It’s that perfect blend of futuristic sophistication Wang does so well, with the more traditional chic-ness of Balenciaga. And it’s SO COOL. Literally, so cool! Balenciaga I feel is going to be sky-rocketing from here on out. So get your popcorn, and get ready – because the cool train is here to stay.
At Paris Fashion Week, Balenciaga brought back the Matrix. Remember those movies? Is Keanu Reeves still acting? These are questions I must immediately answer on Google….and I’m back. The answer? Yes, he is..but not in anything that rings a bell whatsoever. But that’s honestly so beyond the point I don’t know why I’m even going there.
PFW : Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2015 Gets Fit – Unfit
Tailoring. It can truly make and break a look. And when on the stage of Paris Fashion Week, we as fashion consumers can expect a perfect fit. Right?
Well…
I don’t know! Anthony Vaccarello has this thing about super short asymmetrical hemlines. And when it works, IT WORKS! Everything is so razor sharp on point that you feel like you’re getting paper cuts just looking at it. Yet, somehow for the Spring 2015 Collection shown at Paris Fashion Week Tuesday, things came off a bit unkempt. And NOT in the shaggy, grungy unkempt appearance. No, this time we’re talking about a ‘Wow my clothes go all weird and out of place when I walk’ type of thing. You know those skirts that shift around and around with each step? As girls, we’ve all been there.
MFW : Roberto Cavalli Spring 2015 Collection
Every now and then a collection so fantastic comes along I literally get like squealing excitement. It’s odd. I know. But when Roberto Cavalli presented the Spring 2015 Collection today at Milan Fashion Week I was giddy like Christmas morning. (Minus the wrapping paper!) Cavalli’s slim and breezy silhouettes were paraded with bright colors that are so great they inspire the hippie inside us all. If you weren’t already a flower-power, smoking marijuana and dancing the night away at Coachella type – perhaps you will be now?
And while black also had a statement in the collection, it felt anything but minimal. Sheer panels as stripes with bejeweled embellishments are fun, sexy and yes, totally flirty (standard for a Cavalli collection). I think in general, the detailing of this collection is of couture level. It’s probably the most intricate detailing we’ve seen thus far on the Spring runways, which says a lot as jewel encrusted wonders have basically been everywhere!
MFW : Versace Sparkles for Spring 2015 Collection
Apologies for not getting this up sooner, because Versace is always a highlight of Milan Fashion Week – and the Spring 2015 Collection sparkles and dazzles! It’s a non-stop dance party (at least for me) when Versace shows on the runways, and after some let down collections from Gucci and Prada I was happy to see Versace completely on point!
It was a collection to bring out the superhero inside each of us! And honestly, who in their right mind doesn’t want to be a superstar?
