Alexander McQeen R.I.P.

The world of fashion has lost one of the most innovative and creative designers it will ever know. Today Alexander McQeen was found dead in his London home. Some say he had not recovered from the recent death of his mother and that suicide is the manner of death.

The police is not treating his death as suspicious in any way. McQeen was 40 years old.

R.I.P. Fashion has lost a star!

Halle's Faux Pas!

Recently spotted out in New York was Halle Berry wearing what can best be described as a monstrocity! I would place this under the title What Was She Thinking? Halle is one of the most beautiful women in the world with one of the most beautiful bodies as well. Why is she hiding it under the worst fashion no nos? This horizonal horror was worn over two layered tops. makes one wonder why? Even the most fashion ignorant in BFE knows horizontal strips makes a girl look fat! Thats why seeing it, even at the local mall is about as rare as a Dodo bird sighting. So Ms. Berry, why the fashion faux pas? Perhaps she is more concerned here with concealment than with couture!

Here is a sneak peak at the Mercedes Benz 2010 Spring Fashion Week in Milan. By the looks at BCBGMaxAzaria and Fendi Ready to Wear Collections it appears as if long lean legs are in for spring. That can mean for many of us we are going to have a rough time of it. Personally, I don't have long lean legs, and if you don't either it means long hours at the gym, sweating and working out. Or we can just spend one season not wearing dresses. This is my choice. However I do enjoy looking at what I will not be wearing come spring. I hope you do too.

Marc Jacobs Goes Kabuki

While I was browsing the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection I had the oddest feeling I had seen this look somewhere before. But where? And then it hit me! Japan! His muse must have been the distinctive look of Japanese Kabuki. There is nothing else on earth quite like it. So, if Mr. Jacobs thinks he is fooling us then, he better think again. I have been to Japan and I know the look well, simply by slapping some white face powder on his models, drawing their facial features into small grotesque minitures of the real ones, pulling the into a tight ball off the face, then dressing them in ill-fitting elabrite costume, then voile! Marc Jacobs has created his own runway kabuki. The look is not meant to be pretty in Japan and I know it's not pretty on the runway. Let's hope he vacays next year in a place where the theater can inspire better......maybe Paris!

First Black Supermodel Dies

I wanted to give a visual tribute to the first american black supermodel, Naomi Sims. She passed away on August 1st at the age of 61 from cancer, but it is thanks to her that such models had an easier time of having such stellar careers like Iman,Tara Banks, Naomi Campbell and all the others who followed her. She began her career in the mid 60s and she blazed the trail for those to follow. She was the first black model to appear on the cover of Ladies’ Home Journal and in 1969 Sims appeared on the cover of Life magazine.
Thanks to such publications her beauty will live forever. Naomi Sims will remain one of the most beautiful women of our time.

Summer Skin Care

Summer is a time to be careful with your skin. Sun and heat can damage it beyond repair for years. So here are a few dos & don'ts to help give your skin the care and relief you will need to keep you looking young and refreshed during these long hot days and nights of summer.

Don’t apply too many face products at once, no matter how eager you are to try them out. “Using too many products can irritate the skin,” says Jeanine Downie, MD, a dermatologist in New York City

Everlasting Icon

Jackie-O
Jackie-O
Think Nicole Richie and Michelle Obama started the look of over-sized sunglasses, sheath dresses, and that young Hollywood invented skinny jeans? Wrong! Jackie-O did it all first and did it best. She would have been 80 this year but she left us with the legacy of countless images of her lifetime. Thank God, because Jackie was the ultimate style icon and everyone has been trying to copy her ever since. But the original is always the best. Looking back at most of her pictures one realizes her clothes would fit in today as the ultimate contemporary wardrobe for any style conscience woman. Timeless is the test of style not fad. Jackie exemplified this. Jackie and Coco Chanel are the only true originals in the modern age. Please study them carefully. Obviously Nicole, Michelle and most of young Hollywood has!

These examples from Louis Vuitton's 2009 Ready To Wear Fall Collection are simply awesome. I have not seen anything this lovely and feminine since Jackie-O was the one to watch! I love the way the fabrics chosen here drape seductively about the female form. This is the best of the fall collection in my opinion. Oh La La, Louis!

Big & Bold

The new classic looks very much like the style icons from the 70s like Bianca Jagger and Diane Keaton who wore crisp basics accessorized by big & bold jewelry. The focal point should always be the jewelry and it should never have to compete with anything else you are wearing. Clothing should be kept neutral and simple as if it is the back drop to showcase the jewelry. Then you will know you have it right.
