Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Handbags: A collection full of texture, the 1950s & hello again Speedy!

E-mail Print PDF

Tags: Fall 2010 | Handbags | Louis Vuitton | Paris Fashion Week | Runway

louisvuitton-fall2010Perhaps it's a little too soon to talk about Fall 2010 trends, as runway looks are at least 5 months away from a real-life purchase, but handbags have become such an important part of our wardrobe that it's nice to know what's hot even before it actually IS hot!

Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton runway show is always an exciting part of Paris Fashion Week, watched for clothing trends as much as the coveted handbags, and on a sunny day, a litter of new styles were unveiled. The clothing was full of big skirts, and wasp waists - think Mad Men meets The Sound of Music, that sums up the look & feel.

These bags will have certain fashionistas waiting at the ready for pre-release samples. One of Louis Vuitton's traditional handbags, the Speedy, dominated the collection, and you will see variety of materials and fabrics in this signature shape. From the very busy textured leather, crocodile and even (gasp) sequins, to some fabulous smooth simple logo bags that evoke thoughts of Grace Kelly. Overall, this is a varied collection - while Speedy is the trend, variety is the end result as there is something here for everyone!

Final Markdowns at LUISAVIAROMA: Trendy treats on sale with free shipping, editor's picks!

E-mail Print PDF

Tags: Dresses | Handbags | LUISAVIAROMA | Sales | Shopping | Spring 2010

2002If you follow fashion trends, you know that key trends will repeat for a few seasons, and that also means you can find terrific fashion forward treats when you least expect it. Sometimes a designer will get ahead of a trend, and produce a collection before it becomes mainstream, which means you can find items on sale that are still very trendy. This soft floral georgette dress by John Galliano is a perfect example!

Today we will take a look at one of my favourite online stores LUISAVIAROMA (also a very cool physical store, if you happen to be visiting Milan anytime soon!). The Winter Sale is winding down, they just announced final markdowns from 30% to 70% off, and there is still an extensive selection to choose from. Premium designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli & Christian Louboutin are well represented, but they are also known for carrying some pretty exclusive (and tough to find online!) labels. Strategia, Moncler, and Balmain.

For the new season, handbags can be bright, jackets can be military-inspired and/or ruffled, dresses can be in soft romantic fabrics, and one of the hottest colours is bright blue. You will find all of these trends below... and on sale! These won't last long, if you see something you like, get it now... and also keep in mind LUISAVIAROMA offers free shipping!

2010 Academy Awards: Zoe Saldana stunning purple Givenchy Couture, see full Spring/Summer 2010 collection!

E-mail Print PDF

Tags: Celebrity | Givenchy | Haute Couture | Paris Fashion Week

Zoe Saldana continues to make surprising style choices on the red carpet, and the 82nd Annual Academy Awards held on Sunday night was no exception! Interestingly, she has yet to favour one particular designer, which makes her style choices difficult to predict. Who can forget that fabulous black & silver sequin futuristic dress by Emilio Pucci at the Los Angeles premiere of Star Trek in May 2009? She started her red carpet domination less than one year ago, hard to believe..

For the 2010 Academy Awards, Zoe chose a very intriguing (and much talked about!) lavender, silver & purple couture dress by Givenchy - this is a very fashion forward label right now. Ricardo Tisci has moved the house into some very edgy territory; Zoe's dress has been described as risk-taking, jaw-dropping, and stunning. His Ready To Wear collection continues to pick up momentum as well - Cat Deeley wore Givenchy on So You Think You Can Dance UK, and it was a VERY popular look over on our Celeb Edition!

Camilla Belle: Buy her green dress with ruffles by Max Azria online

E-mail Print PDF

Tags: Alexander McQueen | Celebrity Trends | Max Azria | Net-A-Porter | Shopping

Every once in a while, a celebrity look will generate an instant buzz, and pretty Camilla Belle in her green dress at the Whitney Contemporaries Art Party and Auction at Skylight back in 2009 was one of those rare moments. We profiled this look on our Celebrity Edition - her lovely green ruffled dress was Max Azria Resort 2010, and at the time, it was months away from online availability. That didn't stop readers from asking if this could be purchased online!

Those readers will now be VERY happy, as the dress just arrived online over at Net-A-Porter - if you're in the US, the link below will take you to the US site, if you're outside the USA, please click here for Net-A-Porter International (they carry different stock!).

We don't often see Camilla on the red carpet, but when we do, she certainly is a knock-out! More below..

taylorswift-2010feb14Taylor Swift has been very busy lately - in between collecting all those music awards, she has been making some pretty fabulous red carpet appearances. And one of the most popular looks on our celebrity site last month was a very pretty Taylor in this asymmetric tomato red Valentino dress with fluttery shoulder bow- she attended the Unforgettable Evening Benefiting EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund in Los Angeles in this Resort 2010 item. Once again making quite the style statement.

I'm pleased to share the news that this new season dress is now available online! This is Valentino's signature collection, which can be found at major online retailers (browse all Valentino online here) - Taylor's dress is currently available at Net-A-Porter International, link below.

And if you like this look, there are certainly more new season items to choose from - you can get the look for less as all of the dresses below Taylor's are surprisingly under $350!
