Milan Fashion Week Highlights: Gucci
By Andrea Petrou on September 22nd, 2010
By Emily Borrett.
Celebrities and fashion luvvies may be clearing out of London as LFW comes to an extragant, air-kissing close, but the party isn’t over yet – Milan Fashion Week is here and we get to have a peek at what the most luxurious fashion houses have in store for us next S/S.
It seemed fitting that Gucci’s S/S collection should be first down the runway for the Milan leg of Fashion Week; NYFW was about edgy, understated grunge, LFW was about British quirkiness and having a bit of fun, but Milan is all about over-the-top European glamour and luxury. Gucci top dog Frida Giannini promised everybody “sophisticated seduction” for the SS2011 line, and seductive it was.
From the first outfit on the runway, the collection was screaming “MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! WEALTH!!!!!” in a practically edible mix of slippery, jewel-coloured silks with chunky gold accessories and some serious power-tailoring. All the models needed were some big floppy hats and a rich elderly Russian on their arm and they could have been walking down a port in St Tropez to get back on their yachts. Golds and camel tones, this season’s “it” colour, were also heavily present in the form of super-embellished and fringed little dresses and blouses, as was plenty of vampy black leather that wouldn’t have looked out of place on an Italian dominatrix.Very dramatic, very luxe and very, very Milan. Ooer, I’ve come over all Italian all of a sudden. As for the finale dress… well, check the gallery.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2009: Shumaq
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on September 10th, 2008
Peruvian Shumaq designer Vanessa Barrantes (who is a total sweetheart BTW!) got her inspiration from a recent trip to Mexico in a small beach town. “I was feeling relaxed, and in turn the look became relaxed and sexy,” she told me.” They are fun and the dressing and shorts are fitted to the body, high-waisted with emphasis on the waist. I wanted clothes that felt good. ”
Using eco-friendly organic cotton as the basic fabric for her clothes, with denim and jersey, she has created a line that is flirty, playful, summery, sexy and feminine. The emphasis is on what feels good. And believe me, these clothes looked great! The dazzling palette of sherberty colors was sweet and fresh, hinting at happiness.

New York Fashion Week S/S/ 2009: Monique Lhuillier
By Gemma on September 10th, 2008
When a designer takes her bow looking just as amazing as the model wearing the same creation as her, you know the clothes are going to sell. Monique Lhuillier constantly delivers reliably commercial, chic and romantic eveningwear, and this season she’s pulled out all the stops with brocades, silks and yards and yards of tulle. If you love a bit of glamour, you’ll be in heaven with this collection.

ShinyStyle Gallery: Tuleh Spring 2009
By Andrea Thatcher on September 8th, 2008
The spring 2009 Tuleh show was a real treat. Held at Martha Stewart’s offices, that venerable lady was present along with plenty of Voguers and society boldfaced names. But no matter the typeface, prints were the story here. Sometimes romantic, sometimes funky – especially in the combinations.
Video’s are so much better from the front row! Take a look at mine above. Also, I took so many pictures, I had to create a gallery.

New York Fashion Week: Victorya Hong’s show/Project Runway reunion
By Andrea Thatcher on February 1st, 2008
(Click image to enlarge. Left to right, top to bottom: Two looks from the runway show, Victorya Hong and Christian Siriano, from this season of Project Runway, Jack Mackenroth, also from this season, Victorya, and stylist David Evangelista, Christian and Elisa Jimenez, also from this season, a makeup artist backstage, and Jay McCarroll, legendary winner of season one.)
All the antics from Project Runway contestants past and present captured here make me wish I hadn’t had to hightail it back to Bryant Park for one more show at the close of Victorya Hong’s presentation. But I stayed focused then, and that’s what I’ll do here – on to the fashion!
After flipping through Victorya’s past designs on Project Runway, I realized two things. It’s incredible that she lasted as long as she did, and tonight’s runway show was leaps and bounds beyond anything she ever showed the PR judges. The construnction, and particularly the fit, were much more sophisticated on Victorya’s runway. Clearly she is not the sort of designer that is inspired by wacky challenges and incredible time constraints, she spreads her wings when she has time and a clear vision.

Whatever happened to the tents? Now Pierre Cardin shuns traditional runway
By Andrea Thatcher on November 13th, 2007
After Fendi’s fashion show on the Great Wall of China, it seems like designers are clamoring for bigger, more exotic locales to present their collections. Like Pierre Cardin, who staged his latest show on the Gobi Desert. “I’ve been on a lot of voyages,” Cardin told WWD. “But this one was very special for me. The light and the emptiness and the color of the sand against the blue sky — it was like showing fashion on the edge of infinity.” The show was concieved as a prelude to a musical production for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing which Chinese officials have invited Cardin to stage. We can’t wait to see how his design aesthetic influences that spectacular show.
