Your holiday season gets redundant. You go to the same place, eat the same food and do the same things every year. Switch it up this holiday with an exotic vacation to one of our favorite hotels. Sleep on designer beds, relax on a beach or ride Santa’s reindeer. Bring your family, your bestie or your beau because this holiday, you’re celebrating in style.

Dark, dreary, chilly – not adjectives that come to mind thinking about editorial spreads in April magazines. But there is a warmth and energy to this one that can’t be described by these visual aesthetics alone. Du Juan stars in the April 2011 Flair Italia spread “Viaggio A Xitang,” a story about the splendor of visiting an ancient, scenic China town captured by photographer Wing Shya. Juan is all dolled-up in the middle of a forlorn scene, a juxtaposition created by stylist Kanako B. Koga. Everything in this tiny, deserted town becomes fascinating, from burning red candles and paper lanterns to goldfish swimming in an aqua green light. It may not sound like much, but chances are you will want to stay awhile.

What is the dark, global woman to wear with so many cookie-cutter brands and overdone trends cluttering the market and the media? Where can the American girl with European and Asian tastes find something to suit all her style requirements? High-end womenswear line Verlaine, inspired by things like shadows, darkness, geometry and fluidity, has the formula. Started in New York City by Javier Garcia, this label uses distorted proportions and distressed fabrics to create gorgeous garments that take the female figure to a whole new level of beauty. Made in the United States, many garments are made without seams, where one piece of fabric sourced from Italy or Japan wraps the body like rising smoke. I got the chance to preview the Verlaine fall 2011 collection, and I was blown away by its abstruse beauty. Click through to see the collection lookbook.
