Brioni- Classic Man












In their own words they still believe in a 3-piece suit. And thank god they do! Of course they youth-ed it up a little bit. They made the torso a but shorter as well as the length of the pants (dunno how I feel about it). They also threw in a skinner leg, and knit ties.

Favorite pieces? The return of the double breasted suit jacket!

McQueen Pre-Fall













Worthy of standing in a museum, Sarah Burton gives us art in her pre-fall collection. The peplum makes a huge splash here and my hips are currently so happy about it. With this collection Burton is moving away from the that all white, delicate innocent color palette and embracing black. She definitely softened the label's look and the beautifully embroidered gowns in this collection were no exception.This season at McQueen its all about celebrating your womanly shape, embrace the hourglass and define that waist!

I also loved the plain pieces. Burton created some gorgeous shapes in the shirts and blazers. Imagine walking through the office in one of those ensembles!

Best Dressed at the Awards

All in all there were looks all across the board, there were the ones that I hated and ones that made me actually stare (in a good way). I think actors rotate yearly between categories, just to keep it interesting! Well, without further adieu here is the roundup..

My top looks:

Emma Stone killed it in Lanvin
Lea Michele stayed away from the safe option in this  one-of-a-kind Marchesa gown

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture


BEST DRESSED COUPLE.. they look amazing!



Mila Kunis in Christian Dior



Shailene Woodley in Marchesa
Shailene was one of my favorite looks! For those who don't know, (don't worry I had to look it up too) Woodley is the actress in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She is also along side George Clooney in his new movie and nominated role, The Descendants.
The Actress woowed us all in this gorgeous creation. However, she also wowed us later on that night by turning up in these (see below) at the after party.....

Just... Why?
 And the so-so: (still great, but no wow factor)

Hollywood royalty Angelina Jolie looked great in this Atelier Versace cream colored gown.


Kate Winslet in Jenny Packham. just meh..

Wang Pre-Fall
















Absolutely in love with this absolute genius collection. Wang found a way to bring urban, "street" style into the realm of ever-so-chic. The designer expolred many different materials and textures with this collection, combining mesh, and wool. A menswear inspiration was the clear motif of the collection. Wang stayed ever so true to his urban aesthetic however gave us a new chic twist. A definite stand out look? the red mesh with the tailored skirt over top!

A king of layering and urban-chic, Wang knocked this one out of the park.

Pre-fall Lanvin












Congrats Alber Elbaz on 10 great years! In the designer's words, this collection was about new fabrics and technologies. There was a warm rich palette and a range of fabrics. Elbaz played around with wool, leather, and lace in this pre-fall collection. The words demure, ladylike and feminine come to mind when viewing this. It was just about nice for me, lost me a bit on the wow factor. Having said that there are definitely a few stand out pieces! The first look being one of them and pretty much the slew of dresses and coats in the last few looks.
