Lately

After a long hiatus, Style is Eternal is back with a vengeance ladies and gents!  This was long overdue, this is true. To bring you up to speed, I have since moved to the big apple, attend a top tier fashion school and intern at a company I have idolized since I was a child. I have been busy as you can see! Inside peaks into all these things will be coming to you! Along with all the fashion, you can expect a little more. Expect some nyc rating reviews, insider look at places and spaces. Insight look into what going to fashion school and interning while living in this fast crazy city is like!

Happy Reading!

Giambattista Valli

 

Valli for me always has this delicate intricate beauty about his designs. There are some great white and black pieces in here as well as great bursts of color.  

HIGHLIGHT: Louis Vuitton Men's

This is designer Kim Jones' second collection for the house and for me, the best collection of the season. The designer dubbed his collection, "a Tale of Two Cities", those being two fashion capitals, Tokyo and Paris! The house seemed to be inspired by Japanese art  at several different levels, this translated into the inclusion of some kimonos. The kimonos were placed under the suit jackets, mimicking a v-neck sweater with a twist. Talk about original? It looked great!

Jones put a modern day twist that was understated on a classic elegant man. The designer really focused on the fundamental of the house: luxury. There were materials from all over silks from the far east, kangaroo fur, crocodile.. you name it. This collection was just amazing start to finish. From the great cable knit sweaters, the modern twist on the suit, the scarves, the fur, the outerwear, it all just worked! 

A a great sophomore work by Kim Jones, can't wait to see the next one!

Winehouse Controversy

The beehive is not set to go away anytime soon. Jean Paul Gaultier shows us again why he is a legend. The designer used the late singer's style as inspiration for his couture show this Spring. Although I think this is an amazing collection, not everyone shares that opinion. The singer's father as said that the tribute is more of an insult. Click here to read more.

Pencil skirts, crafty corsets (as JPG loves), exaggerated waists, and crazy prints. The singer's loud personality definitely came through in the garments. No colors were shied away from, and no look was too wild. The highlight? The a-symmetrical necklines for me. With other couturier's looking back to the 1950s style, Christian Dior this season, Gaultier brings us that era for the modern woman. I for one think it was actually a beautiful send off for an artist that left her mark on a generation.
