When you see the whole picture, you understand the beauty that is Givenchy’s couture collection.

So the Lucien Pellat-Finet spring summer catalog is out and it’s obvious that I will be wearing something from the collection. If that means breaking the bank in all sorts and measures, so be it. The agitator of cashmere in the summer seems to be adding more flowers and wackiness to the line. The flowers incidentally, look like something that could be smoked for medicinal purposes. The long and short of it goes something like this: the line of leather bags harkens back to accessorieswear from the Pan-Am Stewardess days (a good thing), the denim just above the knee length skirts won’t have you reaching for the middle when you bend down and they’ve even thrown a bit of mod in the collection. Is it a go? Yes.

Go There

I’m waiting with baited breath for anything new from Kate Sylvester. She brings a new meaning to chic housewife couture.

Christian Lacroix has got the mini/micro thing down pat. I am trying to justify the purchase with the fall/winter season in it’s waning days. I say waning knowing that I woke up to 19 degree temperature here in NYC.

A couple of things to note that I must say thrilled me to no end about the Globes.
First the full figured women were out and strutting like everything was a-ok, and it was. The over-the-top gown was left in the closet and more tasteful selections were made across the board. Ali Larter’s plunging neckline was bordering on a boob popping out, Salma Hayek’s dress said elegance and curve love. see photo:

Normally well-dressed Reese Witherspoon (as loveable as she is) disturbed me in her bright yellow strapless dress. Yunji Kim had my favorite dress at the show, simple, elegant and flowing. She went to the glamor deities and they answered her prayers.
