De la Renta, being no stranger to detail and precision, made sure there was no lack thereof in his new collection. As I began to walk through the clothes, heavily beaded and embroidered strapless and one-shouldered gowns, usually bejeweled around the neckline or waistline, flowed out from the clothing racks. Gowns struck a romantic, sophisticated, glamourous, yet sexy note with black tulle and silk organza, beaded lace, and gilded colors.</span></span></p><p class="p3" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px;

I also loved the fashion and textile design collaboration of Lauren Haut and Darrin George inspired by loss of innocence, 1950 and 1960 wallpaper and tailoring. The collaboration of Brittany Burggraff and Wendy Tam collection inspired by dark children's stories, vintage lingeries was one of my favorite over the top collections. And, finally, the designs of Drew Williams from San Francisco, a collection inspired by agarose gel electrophoresis....Fantastic creations!! </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

It is then followed by an introductoryt gallery featuring three decades of Balenciaga's signature silhouettes, all in tones of black that demostrate his mastery of volume, his use of fabric and masterful embellishment. From there, it unfolds in six areas: Dance, Bullfighting, Regional dress, Spanish Art, the Spanish Court and Religious Ceremony. English photographer and designer Cecil Beaton hailed Balenciaga as "Fashion's Picasso." In his work Balenciaga shows the refinement of France and the strength of Spain. He uses fabric like a sculptor working in marble. Hamish Bowles, the show's curator, remarked on his exquisite skill in everything down to the last stitch. The legendary Coco Chanel called Balenciaga "the only couturier." All the other, she said, "are just draughtsman." He had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was hailed a "the master of us all" by Christian Dior. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Each collection was unique and different from the other. Yuzuan Cheng was born in China and came to the US ten years ago. Cheng presented a collection with textile design collaboration by Delphina Rodriguez that was pure detail work. It was not feminine, but rather a tailored men's look. "I want to bring the men's tailoring into women" she said. The structure and construction of each piece was inspired by David Bowie, poker and men's wear. </div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Ww_sks1xI/AAAAAAAABmY/dfaK6_q3wBQ/s1600/0435-AAU-100506.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Ww_sks1xI/AAAAAAAABmY/dfaK6_q3wBQ/s320/0435-AAU-100506.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468971930854676242" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Collection by Yuzuan Cheng and</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Delphina Rodriguez</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Ww-vPd6dI/AAAAAAAABmI/1iJ_ZXr6Epw/s1600/0425-AAU-100506.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Ww-vPd6dI/AAAAAAAABmI/1iJ_ZXr6Epw/s320/0425-AAU-100506.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468971914391054802" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Look II</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Wwp9ygu4I/AAAAAAAABl4/ec_PYV-MH1s/s1600/0412-AAU-100506.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Wwp9ygu4I/AAAAAAAABl4/ec_PYV-MH1s/s320/0412-AAU-100506.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468971557518883714" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Look III</b> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Wwo8SuaWI/AAAAAAAABlo/8ZHQKTh3pps/s1600/0408-AAU-100506.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-Wwo8SuaWI/AAAAAAAABlo/8ZHQKTh3pps/s320/0408-AAU-100506.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468971539937257826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Look IV</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div>Stephanie Hoffman took center stage with her knitwear design that was inspired by Surrealism and haute Couture of the 1930s and 1940's.

Absolutely fascinated. And I am a really tough critic when it comes to fashion. But Elmer definitely captured my attention. His designs were fashionable, glamorous and over the top, just the way catwalks should be. When I saw the collection of alpaca and vivid color many designers came to mind Galliano, Gaultier and not necessarily because of the similarity, but because of the approach and uniqueness of the collection with a funky twist that only a similarly creative mind would be able to visualize.....Bravo Elmer Castro!!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byHYjWKjI/AAAAAAAABqg/oq9loYpsSRo/s1600/IMG_0161.JPG"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byHYjWKjI/AAAAAAAABqg/oq9loYpsSRo/s320/IMG_0161.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469325006151756338" style="display: block;

He presented his new comercial line Marquis by Gerardo Privat. This line incorporated looks that were fun, young, yet up to date: big shoulder, chain and micro mini dresses, following the trend of the big catwalks in Europe in a more affordable way. Gerardo created this line exclusively for Ripley, one of the biggest department store in Peru. The same concept has been seen in the USA like: Jimmy Choo meets H&M or Zac Posen meets Target.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-bzB72V_LI/AAAAAAAABrg/tAgOmYCqEgc/s1600/IMG_0263.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-bzB72V_LI/AAAAAAAABrg/tAgOmYCqEgc/s320/IMG_0263.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469326012059090098" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "><div style="text-align: center;">Designer Gerardo Privat</div></span></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byIc8Uy3I/AAAAAAAABqo/WaLsQ_9AXCg/s1600/IMG_0224.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byIc8Uy3I/AAAAAAAABqo/WaLsQ_9AXCg/s320/IMG_0224.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469325024510135154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byJ7ft2vI/AAAAAAAABq4/GkAs0Smdrjc/s1600/IMG_0227.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byJ7ft2vI/AAAAAAAABq4/GkAs0Smdrjc/s320/IMG_0227.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469325049891511026" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byJKHFwHI/AAAAAAAABqw/nY5N8U3EMvQ/s1600/IMG_0226.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byJKHFwHI/AAAAAAAABqw/nY5N8U3EMvQ/s320/IMG_0226.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469325036634882162" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byKewXlRI/AAAAAAAABrA/IrBxN1XsEVQ/s1600/IMG_0229.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-byKewXlRI/AAAAAAAABrA/IrBxN1XsEVQ/s320/IMG_0229.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469325059356595474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-b7ZHfzVGI/AAAAAAAABsI/Hb3J-DqTYWM/s1600/IMG_0234.JPG"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-b7ZHfzVGI/AAAAAAAABsI/Hb3J-DqTYWM/s320/IMG_0234.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469335206415783010" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-b_Qb3KpaI/AAAAAAAABso/q3lwu6WuxyY/s1600/IMG_0236.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S-b_Qb3KpaI/AAAAAAAABso/q3lwu6WuxyY/s320/IMG_0236.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469339455310177698" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div>Of course, I must mention the first row VIP list: Renee Meyer, Dora Raffo, Gerardo Padilla, Marina Mora, Jessica Newton, Juan Carlos Matthews, Peru's Director of Export and Promotion among others.

Here, Cedric Mountpoint led us to the amazing infrastructure of carved stones and history where the most exquisite and prized rare bottles of wine are stored at the perfect temperature including Corton Charlemagne by Coche-Dury, a range of Musignys, and the rare Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1945 (36,000 Euros)</div><div><br /></div><div>The building foundation goes deep into the stone quarry where quarriers extracted the stones to helped build the nearby Arc de Triomphe. Victoria Yaeger Sawyer, Afsaneh Akhtari, Fashion Designer Sonya Rolin, Ivonne Cohen, Asim Abdullah were transported to the magical world of wine, hors d'oeuvres and a first class display of the fabulous 50,000 bottle collection of the world's best wines. Such a treat was led by Director and Sommelier, Eric Beaumard. It was without a doubt, the best wine cellar I have ever visited! It is widely regarded as one of the best in Europe!!!! Thanks Sonya Rolin for such an amazing treat. The history along behind the cellar was unforgettable.</div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div>Karen Tamblynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15088245298744504752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178688569265564010.post-58926890983378743882010-03-14T17:39:00.000-07:002010-03-17T15:36:50.616-07:00Paris Fashion Week: Emanuel Ungaro Pre-A-Porter 2010<div style="text-align: left;">This trip to the last leg of the global catwalk was short, but rewarding. The Ungaro Fashion Show was my next stop on Monday, March 8. The Pre-A-Porter Automne-Hiver 2010 collection was showcased at one of the exquisite rooms at the Westin Hotel, a first time for the venue after being held previously at the Carrousel du Louvre- Salle Le Notre. The front row here included fashion editors from around the globe, as well as the regulars fashionistas. And, of course, San Francisco Elite including: Joel Goodrich, Afsaneh Akthari, Victoria Yaeger Sawyer and Joy West joined house owners Isha and Asim Abdullah, too.</div><div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S5_CQIspYII/AAAAAAAABco/u-NqvOJWDYU/s1600-h/DSC00713.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S5_CQIspYII/AAAAAAAABco/u-NqvOJWDYU/s320/DSC00713.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449287656610029698" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Front Row: Global Fashion Editors</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S5_CPVikhPI/AAAAAAAABcg/6uMRWMpyrQs/s1600-h/DSC00709.JPG"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S5_CPVikhPI/AAAAAAAABcg/6uMRWMpyrQs/s320/DSC00709.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449287642877560050" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b> Joel Goodrich, Afsaneh Akthari</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Victoria Yaeger Sawyer, Joy West</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Karen Tamblyn</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The stylist room was set for a catwalk with beautiful chandeliers and draping red curtains framing the room.

Between the chaos of both ends overlapping with pure fashion, I needed to make a decision.....I chose Paris!! And without any reservation, I must say that My Paris Fashion Trip was absolutely divine!!!!</div><div><br /><div>In the midst of the cold weather the beauty and energy of Paris has refueled and fed my inner fashion spirit and creativity.....How could it not? Being a city of fashion, beauty and romance, once you inhale its beauty you become immersed in it....living and breathing it, all at once.</div><div><br /></div><div>My first stop was Costes, one of my favorites lunch/dinner and after hours drinks place. What started as late lunch ended up with after hour drinks...what a surprise!!! Here, we saw many familiar faces and friends from all over the world. Sometimes I forget that Paris is my second home. The ambience is chic and sophisticated and surrounded by the most fashionable and beautiful jet-set....from super models, fashion editors, designer and entrepreneurs to local Parisians, Tres Chic!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S55gRe_IBHI/AAAAAAAABbQ/NLKtfEcZZmk/s1600-h/DSC00698.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S55gRe_IBHI/AAAAAAAABbQ/NLKtfEcZZmk/s320/DSC00698.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448898452656751730" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 270px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>At Matignon</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Rohan Virmani and Joel Goodrich</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Matignon was my next stop.

And if you are off to something more intimate while rubbing shoulders with parisian VIP's, then just around the corner, literally a few meters away, there is of one of the most exclusive address in town, Le Mathis at 3 Rue de Ponthieu.....the intimacy of the small bar draped in red provokes a strong reaction.

He presented a total of 42 looks including a mix of beautiful cocktail dresses, asymmetrical, and strapless evening-wear with nude inserts, reverse tuxedo cocktail dresses and coats, lace pantsuits and an amazing wedgewood blue, double-face mohair, off-the-shoulder sweater, which was one of my favorite pieces....the off-the-shoulder mohair sweater was sexy, but yet chic.....I could have worn that on my trip...It was so cold, and of course my closet is just full of mini dresses and mini furs...LOL!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a4tcFdQI/AAAAAAAABVI/cVf-7jDzzco/s1600-h/George+Chakra+1.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a4tcFdQI/AAAAAAAABVI/cVf-7jDzzco/s320/George+Chakra+1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439674223994172674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Mohair Off-Shoulder Top</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a5KwvOrI/AAAAAAAABVQ/JMPwIdQ6oso/s1600-h/George+Chakra+2.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a5KwvOrI/AAAAAAAABVQ/JMPwIdQ6oso/s320/George+Chakra+2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439674231865424562" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Red Cocktail Dress with Black Grosgrain</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a5qN6j8I/AAAAAAAABVY/DwIqLlUEy4c/s1600-h/George+Chakra+3.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a5qN6j8I/AAAAAAAABVY/DwIqLlUEy4c/s320/George+Chakra+3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439674240309301186" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Boat Neck Silver Dress</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a50B7t0I/AAAAAAAABVg/XfB09fsxFTE/s1600-h/George+Chakra+4.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a50B7t0I/AAAAAAAABVg/XfB09fsxFTE/s320/George+Chakra+4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439674242943399746" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Silver Asymmetrical Dress With Nude Inserts</b></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a6Pf1LsI/AAAAAAAABVo/vdshT-bMziM/s1600-h/George+Chakra+5.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BRWBmSDUAYc/S32a6Pf1LsI/AAAAAAAABVo/vdshT-bMziM/s320/George+Chakra+5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439674250316558018" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center; "><b>Asymmetrical Lame Gown</b></div><div><br /></div><div>The Lebanese designer's collection was dominated by vibrant reds, blues, blacks, metallic and futuristic silvers in materials like chiffon, crepe, mink silk, velvet and lame.

The news was devastating and brought a solemn tone in counterpoint to the excitement of the beginning of the Fashion Season. Personally, I was in state of a shock as I was preparing to take off to New York.</div></div><div><br /><div>This year's Fashion Week was always going to be memorable. It was also always going to be a bit sad. But for different reasons. Rather than being a memorable event because of it being the last year the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week was going to take place in Bryant Park, instead it became a day to be remembered as the saddest day in the history of fashion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Visitor's to McQueen's Manhattan store placed flowers and notes to commemorate his passing and express their sense of loss. McQueen was expected to present his latest collection on March 9 during Paris Fashion Week.</div><div><br /></div><div>"We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing-from street style to music culture and the world's museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss," read a statement by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Fashion World lost a young talented artist, known for his exquisite couture-quality gowns and over-the-top theatrical fashion presentations. He was innovative, a renegade and a revolutionary. He was also controversial. His repertoire was admired by some, Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Katie Holmes, and Penelope Cruz among them but also criticized by others. McQueen pushed boundaries like no other. His legacy will live on forever!!!</div><div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div><div><div> </div></div></div></div></div>Karen Tamblynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15088245298744504752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178688569265564010.post-79489775875915869442010-02-02T10:20:00.000-08:002010-02-09T23:06:05.004-08:00The Stars Dazzle In Hollywood: Three Superstars Deliver Glamor to the Grammy's<div style="text-align: center;"><b><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div></b></div><div>The buzz of Grammy weekend could be felt across the world by everyone who watched the event.

All were delighted and amazed by the superstar combination of Rosalina's jewelry, designs by Maggie Coulombe, and make-up by Michael Marcus. Ke$ha fell in love with Rosalina's designs and tried on almost everything at the show before settling on a few pieces including a tear-drop acquamarine and diamond ring she showcased on the Red Carpet at the awards. Young stars Brooke Lauren and Erin Newburg of Secrets of Aspen fell in love with the sexy, fun, and edgy looks that have made Maggie's resort-style ready-to-wear a must-have. Michael's talents with make-up so stunned Mya that she came back both days to get ready for her events. </div><div><br /></div></div><div>Other attendees at the event included top stylists Robert Bahar, known for his work with Janet Jackson, and Lindsay Albanese, an E!
