Based in New York, Amanda worked for Moschino and the shoe designer Alejandro Ingelmo before starting Assad Mounser. The current collection is called ‘Space Oddity’ for the David Bowie song.

Apparently, the women’s designer department of the Chelsea Loehmann’s has tons of merchandise from the Barny’s sale.

Moschino’s spring 2010 collection, which recently took the runway at Milan Fashion Week, had in-your-face daisy theme. Bold sunglasses, patterns, and even a daisy hat were all apart of the hippy-mod line.

I’m so glad to see some bright and 60’s era inspired pieces for the spring. Will you be going crazy for daisies next year too?

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.

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.

MAINSTREAMERS

Alexander McQueen:

Each of McQueen’s Fall ‘09 pieces were sculpted to perfection to create forms in unique patterns and versatile shapes.

Donna Karan:

Moschino:

Ruffles and roses were at the forefront of Moschino’s line up for this Fall ‘09 collection. Navy and black dresses with a hint of red adds that special something to each piece.

Roberto Cavalli:

Lace leggings, fur jackets, and knitted fabrics were all part of Roberto Cavalli’s image for Fall ‘09.

Leave it to Lanvin to let loose black gloves and intriguing silhouettes down the runway. With dresses and coats in beige, black, and white, the designer remembers the excitement of color with the occasional spark of red.

Proenza Schouler:

Though many designers stuck to inspiration of the past for Fall ‘09, Proenza Schouler kept it modern for the runway. High necks and fitted coats were all a part of the designers vision for the season.

THE INDIE TEAM

A. F. Vandevorst:

Mark Squires shot Dior darling Marion Cotillard for the June/July 2009 issue of BlackBook Magazine.

In the spread she wears Chanel, Moschino, Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs, and more.

Steven Meisel’s editorial for Vogue Italia April 2009 is basically the greatest game of dress-up you could ever imagine. Poking fun at our current economic crisis, “Fashion Bailout” portrays some intense mixing, matching and accessorizing at what appears to be a second hand store. While the clothes on Darya, Portia & Eliza are a mish-mosh of Moschino, Maison Martin Margiela, Roberto Cavalli and others, this spread suggests that you can look just as couture wearing Goodwill finds. But to be honest, I would have pegged this spread the brainchild of Carine Roitfeld over Franca Sozzani.

Moschino had a tremendous showing at this year’s Milan Fashion Week, producing another phenomenal line for Fall 2009. The collection had a very classic New York Upper East Side feel to it, and some of the small accents were amazing. There was a gray jacket with red piping around the entire thing that was to die for, and the wide ruled pinstriped pants looked great. I think the biggest trend spotted in this collection were the shoulder details on the jacket, very military inspired. Loved the collection!

Ps. Look at the shoes!

How cute are these shoes? I want 10 pairs…This is the work of Moschino collaborating with Repetto to benefit the Repetto Foundation. The “Zizi” shoes are cotton peach blossom with a canvas silk leaf from the 1950s creates a sense of retro beauty. In celebration of its 60th anniversary, the brand started “Danse Pour la Vie” (Dance for Life) in partnership with UNESCO to raise fund to support educational programs that implement dance to integrate thousands of marginalized children. These designed shoes will be showcased worldwide in September 2008 before being auctioned off for the cause.

A few weeks ago we posted the sketches of Madonna’s costumes for her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour. For her latest tour Madonna’s pulling out all the fashion stops. Here’s she is wearing a Moschino tracksuit at a rehearsal performance. Just added photos of Madge wearing what I think are her Givenchy designed costume. Can’t wait to see all the costumes!

It seems as though Madonna got tired of being slapped in the face. Since recent talks of Madonna’s fashion choices turning for the worst, the singer has made significant plans for the ensemble of her Sticky and Sweet Tour. Adrianne Phillips returns to the scene as one of the many costume designers for the tour alongside countless other designers with a vision. Recent talks have speculated that Tom Ford created suites for her band and that Miu Miu suited Madonna up with the perfect pair of pumps as Roberto Cavalli, Yves Saint Laurent and Jeremy Scott contribute clothing for performances. Madonna assures us she won’t forget to accessorize with Moschino sunglasses and the perfect pair of Stella McCartney boots. That’s a lot of designers!

Madonna has divided her show into four segments in which each designer’s pieces will make a stand out performance alongside the superstar.
