Model Profile: Natasha Poly

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:47:00 +0000

Natasha Polevshchikova (try saying that one), shortened to Natasha Poly is one of my favorite models. At the age of 22 she has been on the cover of Vogue seven times and appeared on the most desired runways such as Gucci, Lanvin, D&G, Chanel, and Victoria's Secret. Recently models.com ranked her #7 on their top 50 models list.

This video is from Fashion TV (I love fashion TV). It shows backstage footage of Gemma Ward working the runway, at photoshoots, and in interviews. It also has subtitles giving all sorts of random information about her. Hope you like it!

Real Housewives of New York City

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:55:00 +0000

Bravo TV

This is news to me: Bravo launched a New York City version of their reality show Real Housewives (of Orange County) on March 4th. Living across the pond really does seclude you, all these new shows in the States and I am missing them. Did anyone watch the premiere episode? If so, how was it? The women look like they need a little bit of help in the fashion department...

Hermès

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:34:00 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier, designer for the house of Hermès was inspired to bring back the smoking jacket, hence his reason for having some of the models smoke on the runway. Smoking jackets were particularly popular in the Victorian Era where women didn't want the smell of smoke on their husbands everyday clothes, so when he went to smoke he would put on the jacket. Also, there were smoking caps to prevent men's hair from smelling of tobacco.

I like how Jean Paul Gaultier added Western flare by using lots of fringe and high heeled cowboy boots.

At Home with Coco Chanel

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:50:00 +0000

"Coinciding with the relaunch of Chanel's flagship Paris boutique, 18 Place Vendome, VogueTV became one of the first camera crews ever allowed into Coco Chanel's very own apartment. See the latest jewellery collection, inspired by some of Coco's original diamond designs, as it is unveiled, and witness the artwork and superstitions that made such a legendary designer tick. Vogue's jewellery editor, Carol Woolton, hosts our exclusive film and finds out why Chanel collected ornamental lions, how she brought diamonds back into fashion, how the quilted bag was inspired by her suede sofa, and why the number five became her lucky number" (YouTube introduction)

Balenciaga

Sharp silhouettes and perfectly sculpted dresses are what Nicolas Ghesquière had in mind for this season. The collection was a glimpse into the future with sharp edged cuts, and the use of rubber, plastic, and patent leather fabrics. I was a bit upset not to see Ghesquière's handbags on the runway though...so I immediately went to the Balenciaga website to check out the latest accessories.

On our way out.... Neal's brother was in town on Saturday night so we took him around to a few local pubs.

I even read magazines in pubs... And I found this beautiful dress in it. Im wearing a necklace that my dear friend Jill gave me for Christmas and Neal's tiffany's silver bracelet that I bought him a few years back.

CHANEL

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 09:29:00 +0000

The Moment we've all been waiting for...

Chanel was the highlight of Paris Fashion Week by far. Karl Lagerfeld out did himself yet again by putting on a unique show. Not only did the models walk the runway, but they stood on a large carousel in the center of the room with statues of Chanel's signature pieces: A large bottle of Chanel no5, pearls, and a quilted bag amongst other items.

The next thing I am going to buy are those opaque-sheer tights and a pair of Mary Janes. I probably spent 40 minutes looking at this collection online because the clothes are so beautiful and classic Chanel. I also will post more pictures of the collection because there is much more to see..... <3

Valentino's new leading lady

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:48:00 +0000

Last season was Valentino's final collection after 45 years and he has now passed his crown on to former Gucci creative director Alessandra Facchinetti. After Valentino's final show which seemed to many like the end of an era, the pressure was on for Alessandra as she had big shoes to fill. Fashion critics were uneasy about this young designer taking Valentino's place, but I thought differently. She did very well at Gucci and there was no doubt in my mind that if she could master Gucci, she could branch out and attempt Valentino. The collection she created was typically Valentino, fresh and beautiful. Before the show, she told the media that she has never been so nervous before to show a collection. At least now she can sit back and relax because the fashion world has just accepted her with open arms after this remarkable show.

Blumarine

noreply@blogger.com (Britt Marie Romanski) — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:44:00 +0000

I don't think I've never liked a Blumarine collection. I think their designs are always well structured and feminine. This season was interesting because the beginning of the collection was full of pastel colored dresses and soft sweaters, then it took a turn and lots of leopard animal print was shown. I like this contrast because you don't want to be wearing dark colors all winter so I like how they incorporated lighter colors into the mix.

The Colors of the Oscars

Even though it was raining during the red carpet arrivals, the celebrities brightened up the evening by wearing lots of color. Heidi Klum looked stunning in her red gown and Kelly Preston has never looked better. Marion Cotillard also looked really beautiful in her white mermaid-like dress by Jean Paul Gaultier.
