Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Presentation at Paris FW
Just when you thought you could define the Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear aesthetic, the luxury fashion house throws you a curve ball. Hot off the heels of the Fall 2011 offering - a dominant, military-inspired, Victorian-aged collection - comes the spring 2012 showing which was the exact opposite. The Louis Vuitton fashion presentation was carnival-themed: picture models resting on a merry-go-round ride until it was their time to strike a pose. Pastels ruled the show from soft yellows and baby blues to crisp white and powder room pink.
Highlights: my girl Kate Moss (because I feel like I know her) closed out the show in a fabulous white, mini sundress (A-line) adorned with ostrich feathers. There were many more sundresses featuring daisy prints and light fabrics that were feminine, chic, and wearable. I also love dramatic outwear statement pieces so the 60’s styled black trench coat with white polka dots was right up my alley. In fact, Audrey Hepburn could have easily worn it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The trench had ¾-length sleeves, and utilized a rich, almost satin-like fabric and large, white buttons.
In terms of how the models were styled, there were cat eyes, fresh faced/minimal makeup, nude lips, with hair pulled back into a bun and affixed with a slender headband. Of course, almost all looks were paired with a Louis Vuitton handbag or clutch and surprisingly, the white shoes they wore didn’t particularly turn me off (like they usually do). For as long as I can remember, I’ve associated white heels with old church going ladies…not exactly the look I’m going for. However, the white pumps were perfect. There were also color block sandals in white and metallic.

I’d like to believe that the women who wear my clothes are not dressing for other people, that they’re wearing what they like and what suits them. It’s not a status thing.

Kirsten Dunst Shines in NY Times ’60s Spread
In a recent spread for T Style Magazine, Kirsten Dunst is glowing as she discusses turning 30, shopping for a more mature wardobe, and her Best Actress win at the Cannes Festival this past spring for her role in the 2011 film, Melancholia.
Despite the lengthy time she has spent in the spotlight, “In person, Dunst is stunningly unpretentious. (When a taxi driver wonders why a paparazzo is bothering the fragile blond woman he has just picked up, she points to her face and jokes, “Hello? ‘Spider-Man’?”).” In terms of shopping habits, Dunst is not one to buy the latest trends and is a huge vintage shopper. She prefers the vintage stores of LA over their NY counterparts because she feels that NY vintage shops are overpriced. For more, check out the rest of the article on NYTimes.com.
