An Eccentric Full Moon Hangs Over Milan

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:26:48 +0000

As Sam and I flipped through the pages of yesterday’s WWD, we noticed some pretty kooky looks stepping off the Milan runways. When we think of Italian style, we think modern, streamlined and sexy. For Spring 2012, it seems the creative minds behind Italy’s top fashion houses decided to drop acid and design together. Not that we mind, but it is an interesting change. Here are some of the most eccentric looks for the Milan runways – would you wear them?

The Red Carpet Fashion Awards: Honoring the Best in Rouge Floor Coverings

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 20:18:01 +0000

Red Carpet Fashion Awards has graced us with their lists of the best in 2010′s red carpet showdowns. I guess it was only natural for the red carpet to morph into its own entity and for that entity to get its own award. I can’t actually wait til there’s a televised Red Carpet Fashion Awards program, where the Kodak Theater is strictly for arrivals and the awards are presented on the red carpet. Meta.

Cate Blanchett was named Best Dressed for her vintage Christian Lacroix from the SK-II’s “Clear for Life” event; followed by Zoe Saldana in her controversial Givenchy Haute Couture gown from this year’s Oscars; and relative unknown Fan Bing Bing in Dragon Robe by Laurence Hsu that she wore at the Robin Hood Cannes Film Festival premiere rounds out the top 3.

Sarah Jessica Parker got especial kudos for her tireless efforts promoting that giant, turbaned flop Sex and the City 2: The Menopause Strikes Back and earned the ungainly title of “Promotional Tour Star” of the year.

And my future BFF, Leighton Meester was honored for apparently getting her shit together with the “Stella’s Got Her Groove Back”…award, I guess. The RCFA also named Peter Dundas for Emilio Pucci as the “Designer of the Year” and Gucci Première as “Couturier of the Year.”

Overall, interesting choices, but this is the red carpet after all where it’s not just about the clothes, but the celebrity who’s wearing them, and where high fashion isn’t always translated to great effect. As matter of course, there are only a handful of actresses who can truly pull off haute couture, and Cate Blanchett is at the forefront.

Other notables include the always stunning Tilda Swinton, the statuesque Nicole Kidman and former model Charlize Theron. SJP is also up there because she’s got the balls to pull off anything.

Even a bird on her head.

This season, I have not been really paying much attention to the collections but I do find myself stealing a glance at a few collections here and there, and while I have been disappointed in a few there has been a speck in the pack that satisfies. In the Spring…

Pucci Goes With Pete

Corey Moran — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:00:23 +0000

With more rumors than an episode of Gossip Girl about who will be Pucci’s new designer, we call rest easy now, because Pucci has decided to go ahead with Peter Dundas. With Matthew Williamson’s contract ending at the conclusion of next month, Pucci wants Dundas to head the design team in their future collections. Williamson has left to work on his own line, and will be launching a meatpacking boutique in the months to come.

Thanks NY Mag.

Matthew Williamson To Leave Pucci

Rebecca Alexander — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:44:48 +0000

Matthew Williamson is rumored to be leaving Pucci to focus on his own line when his contract ends this fall. Norwegian designer Peter Dundas is said to replace him. Dumas designed for Emanuel Ungaro and is currently designing for French furrier Revillon. Dundas told WWD, “I’m very happy at Revillon,” but would not comment further. Pucci wouldn’t comment either.

We will keep you updated.
