Designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Matthew Williamson, Alberta Ferretti, Yohji Yamamoto and Alexander McQueen grace the holiday windows of Bergdorf Goodman.

A softer color palate incorporated with flowing ruffles, lace, and bows all kept romance alive during Milan Fashion Week, thanks to designers like Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, and Alberta Ferretti.

Coke on the Runway? Yeah, you never see it but you know what’s happening backstage. Oh, wait, Coca Cola?!? Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.

Remember the trees, remember the grass, remember the time we saw your ass? Two loves take to the field, one barely makes it out clothed.

Ok, glamettes listen up because this is for charity. We all know that only thing more glamorous than an amazing pair of heels is if the proceeds of those heels go to people in need. Yes, I have an inner Audrey Hepburn. This particular event is very exciting though, it involves the 70th anniversary of The Wizard Of Oz, the world’s best shoe designers and The Elizabeth Glazer Pediatrics AIDS Foundation.

I usually make it a rule to write all of my own posts word for word. However, I will make an exception this one time, as I want to make sure I convey all of the information correctly.

So, from the official website: http://www.rubyslipperauction.com/ here is the information, feel free to peruse the website and bid on your own pair of ruby slippers. xoxo

From Beverly Hills to Berlin; from big screens to home screens, Warner Bros. Entertainment has for the past year been celebrating the 70th anniversary of an iconic American classic The Wizard of Oz with spectacular festivities spanning the globe. As part of this celebration, Warner Bros. Consumer Products in partnership with CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements invited the world’s top shoe designers to reinterpret Dorothy’s iconic Ruby Slippers for modern times.

“If Dorothy were living in the 21st century, what would she wear?” was the question answered by The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slipper Collection, a creative re-interpretation of one of film’s most iconic and revered symbols which has captured the hearts and imaginations of people the world over. Designers, including A. Testoni, Abaete, Alberta Ferretti, Betsey Johnson, Botkier, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Giuseppe Zanotti, Jimmy Choo, L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, Lisa Pliner, Manolo Blahnik, Moschino, Oscar de la Renta, Roger Vivier, Sergio Rossi, Stuart Weitzman, Tibi, and Tuleh, were granted creative license and access to unlimited CRYSTALLIZED™ – Swarovski Elements to re-imagine Dorothy’s design with their own modern vision of the sparkling Ruby Slipper.

Since its debut one year ago in New York City to kick off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, the Collection has toured more than 20 prestigious destinations around the world, including Los Angeles, Miami, Paris, Tokyo, Dubai and Melbourne. The Ruby Slipper Collection and original design sketches will now be auctioned online by Charity Folks beginning 10:00 AM EST on September 10 to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. The public has one final chance to view The Ruby Slipper Collection in entirety at the Swarovski CRYSTALLIZED™ flagship store at 499 Broadway in New York City from September 10th — 23rd; the exhibit will be run simultaneously to the online auction.

Also featured in the auction are select pieces from The Inspirations of Oz Fine Art Collection which premiered during the highly anticipated and revered Art Basel Miami Beach 2008. An acclaimed array of artists were among the chosen few selected to re-interpret The Wizard of Oz through their own unique visions and artistic mediums. Included in the auction are one-of-a-kind interpretive works of art including painting, drawing and sculpture from esteemed artisans Angelo Aversa, Romero Britto, Nelson De La Nuez, Todd White and Yakovetic.

The auction will culminate at 10:00 PM on Thursday, September 24, with the Warner Bros. Entertainment Emerald Gala, a glorious event at Manhattan’s historic Tavern on the Green hosted by its owner and CEO Jennifer Oz LeRoy, granddaughter of The Wizard of Oz producer Mervyn LeRoy; introducing Warner Home Video’s new benchmark The Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray release on September 29th.

The words “cute” and “whimsical” are definitely ones I’d use when describing my fashion taste, but there is not a single piece of Alberta Ferretti’s adorable Philosophy Spring 2010 collection that I wouldn’t wear. With poppy sheer layers and cartoon lip decals galore, the collection is nothing but fun, flirty and fabulous. Out of any collection shown this season, Philosophy really sings “spring.”

Posting these fall Harry Potter inspired ads for those of you who aren’t ready to give up the Harry Potter fever yet. These dark ads with their library setting and inclusion of floating loose papers make me think of witches conjuring spells.

Drew Barrymore got glammed up in Alberta Ferretti for a Roaring Twenties-inspired look. Accented with a small veil and classic red lipstick, the nude, sequined gown looked perfect on Drew, and not costumey. 

Drew hit up the..black carpet for HBO’s premiere of the Grey Gardens remake in New York Tuesday night.

The new Alberta Ferretti ad campaign has a glamourous, speakeasy vibe that revives the mood of 1920s France. Shot by Steven Meisel and featuring models Kinga, Mina Cvetkovic and Viktoriya Sasonkina, the series of photos rallies women everywhere to wear their string of pearls loud and proud. The pictures look great; Meisel has been head-on with the S/S 09 campaigns this year.

Thanks to Trendhunter for the photos.

There’s a little Bohemian spirit in all of us, and who better to showcase that carefree edge than Alberta Ferretti? Although a theme within the collection is somewhat lacking, fringe and draping are two major components of her runway looks. If you’re looking for a label, I guess you could consider Ferretti’s girl a Grecian flapper, but a glamorous, sensual well styled one. Oh, and I absolutely love Ferretti’s play on the cocktail dress!
