Who Wore it Better: Mesh + Bra

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Bras and bandeaus were getting major airtime on the Spring-Summer 2010 runways (see Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Issey Miyake, and Dolce & Gabbana) albeit behind a veil of tastefully spun mesh. It harks back to the ’80s when girls who had figures worth flaunting all wore the mesh top + black bra combo with tight jeans–not exactly a trend I thought we’d be revisiting anytime soon.

However, if you wear it like Georgina Wilson

Hot Lip: MAC on Marlene?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

What’s the shade on everyone’s lips these days? MAC‘s Pink Nouveau, it seems. My question is, was Marlene Aguilar wearing the shade on TV or not? Ok here’s a bit of background.

Rumor Mill: Georgina Wilson for Channel V

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I heard it first on Twitter (add us up: stylebibleph). Her tight circle of beautiful people were congratulating her on being the newest name in Channel V‘s roster of VJs.

14_1262753194010610I also ran into Liz Uy at The Reserve last night, who happens to be one of Ms. Wilson’s BFFs, and she confirmed that the leggy Bench model did get the gig. Fans will be pleased to know that they’ll be seeing her soon on the telly.

Congratulations from Style Bible!

Jessica Stam Stars in Aldo’s SS’10 Campaign

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Fans of The Stam will be pleased to know that shopping for shoes at Aldo this summer will involve seeing her mug in the store. The super stars in the brand’s summer campaign, posing all pin-up and playful for what looks like the lens of Jeurgen Teller (correct me if I presume wrong).

Today I’m Loving: Gray + Peach

Thursday, January 28th, 2010
Ever since I saw this photo of Kate Moss I fell in love with the color combo.

It looks so clean and sophisticated. It’s a great way to do a nude or  monochromatic palette without having to revert to an all black, all white, or all beige outfit. It also has a very urban feel to it, which I like.

Tod’s Spring-Summer 2010 Preview

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

This is what to expect from the go-to preppy accessory brand this summer.

My personal favorite is a powder gray Pashmy. It’s made of a fleece material (this year’s summer sport answer to last year’s vivid neoprene) that reminds me of a cozy sweat suit. It’s light, neutral, and less delicate in comparison to leather.

Westwood Wallpaper and Designer Bed Linens

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

According to http://www.vogue.co.uk/, Vivienne Westwood designed a capsule collection of wallpaper designs for Cole & Sons, an English company that’s been manufacturing hand-printed wallpaper since 1873. (Don’t you love how the English craftsmen have such a rich heritage?)

Alexander McQueen’s SS 2010 Campaign

Monday, January 25th, 2010

This is a million times better than the ad of Pops for Mikaela. Spotted this preview of Alexander McQueen’s Spring-Summer 2010 ad campaign on redcarpet-fashionawards.com.

The ad is as out of this world as the collection itself! A jumpsuit-clad Raquel Zimmermann fearlessly posed with 30 snakes. (I wonder when they’ll have that challenge on Top Model. Haha!) And who better to shoot it than Nick Knight, probably today’s king of surreal concept photography.
