Each year after the big Oscars bash there’s a lot hoo-ha over the red carpets looks of all the Hollywood starlets. And as I was reading this morning’s news I couldn’t help but start looking at the photos, videos and highlights from the award ceremony. I mean, it was practically impossible not to. So, who made it into the-most-stylish-of-2011?

The Cream of London Fashion Week: Emilio Pucci Fall 2011 RTW

by Emma Dibaja on February 27, 2011

As I was doing a bit of style spotting from this year’s London Fashion Week, I found Emilio Pucci’s gorgeous Fall 2011 collection. For me his collection was, without a doubt, one the highlights of the Fall 2011 London Fashion Week.

The Future is Bright, the Future is Turquoise

February 26, 2011

I’m a strong advocate of minimalism when it comes to fashion and looking stylish, and I tend to opt for lots of subtle and harmonious colours which in effect leaves plenty of space to have a bit of fun with accessories. And what a better way to brighten-up an otherwise clear palette than by adding [...]

Style Alphabet: F for Fashion

February 25, 2011

I was following the rundown of Fashion Week first in New York, then in London and now in Milan, and I couldn’t help but think about fashion.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the Fashion Week extravaganza and I must say, I’m far from impressed by many of the designers who are usually known for their impeccable and sure-to-succeed collections. 0

Are You Heeling it? – The Practicality of Heels

February 18, 2011

A short while back, I came across an interesting article about the health-effects of wearing heels, particularly when combined with a medical condition or pregnancy. The article stressed how women who are pregnant are warned of the dangers of wearing heels for not only their own health but the health of their coming child. The [...]

I Peg Your Pardon?

February 15, 2011

What once was cool… …tends to often be stylish later. Pegged pants, particularly pegged jeans, were a big hit in the 80′s. And today peg-leg pants are once again visible at street level. So if you’re into the 80′s, why not wear denim on denim for a full-on Eighties look? Photo from google image search. [...]

Are Fashion Designers Simply Redesigning?

February 13, 2011

I was watching a short documentary about Joseph Altuzarra, a young American fashion designer who was talking about his experiences leading to New York Fashion Week.
