neon menswear

neon menswear by cristov featuring a multicolor necklace

borrowing slightly from the boys... a brass button double-breasted balmain jacket in paired with a slightly cropped camel pant. an ethnic print dries shirt add interest and a layer of reference. a gold watch and over-sized turquoise ring by ysl add richness, completing the look is a simple neon bright necklace, a neon yellow python bag by celine and bright pink pumps by ysl


abbey lee anyone?

abbey lee anyone? by cristov featuring a silk skirt

in that bohemian vein that abbey lee is known for , this outfit skews more evening, though casual evening. a basic kain tank is given a punch by a black jet-sequeined maxi-skirt and a rich ink-coloured lanvin fur. men's oxford shoes ground the look while accessories add a little kick plus the stone necklace matches the purple hermes satchel, but not in an obvious way. my chic take on the bohemian eccentric


ott to the max

ott to the max by cristov featuring an animal print bag

in the same maximalist vein of anna dello russo, this look is quite simple in its elements but when put together is a visual feast. classic elements of black, gold and leopard print are used for maximum impact. using a basic black tank and jean, the gold embroidered black fur jacket makes a real statement, layering gold accessories gives another layer of richness, the simple celine bag done in leopard adds extra punch and finished off with instant cool, black ray-bans.

taking all of these classic items, the men's oxford, a camel double-breasted jackets, ray-bans, cartier and hermes and pairing them with some unexpected pieces, a horizontal striped wrap skirt from dries and valentino's punk take on a lady-like pump and you end up with a look that is both timeless with just the right amount of edge to keep it current

flithy/gorgeous



there has been a little controversy going around the blogosphere regarding jake shears wardrobe malfunction where he flashes his testes at an audience in paris... i watched the video to see what all the fuss was about and noticed something quite special... now correct me if i'm wrong, but is ana matronic wearing fall 2010 prada, a version of the dress miranda kerr wore on the runway. it looks great on her, as does jake's outfit on him :)

what a cast...

yesterday, nicolas ghesquiere showed his spring 2011 collection for balenciaga, it is amazing, an eclectic mix of 90's punk grunge and super hi-tech fabrication in shapes that stand away from the body like armour. despite the superb clothing on the catwalk, this post is dedicated to the faces on the catwalk, the most exciting of faces belongs to bambi. in her first international season, the sydney girl with her signature bushy-brows was girl 6 at balenciaga's stellar show. she came out just after a 5 month pregnant miranda kerr. other shocks included amber valletta, ann catherine-lacroix, stella tennant, carolyn murphy and who closed the show, none other than la gisele bundchen.

again, congratulations to bambi... the show to be seen in
