Anna Wintour honored in France

Anna Wintour got this past July 7th the highest honor granted by the French. She was named Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. She joined the ranks of names such as John Galliano, Azzedine Alaia, Agnès b., Celine Dion, among many others.
She recieved the medal directly from Sarkozi, while, predictably, wearing Chanel head to toe.

The MET Gala

So many events, so little time! On Monday, some lucky people assisted to the annual gala, hosted by Anna Wintour, in the MET. This year, the theme was none other than my beloved Alexander McQueen. This event is my Super Bowl! The best red carpet of the year! How could it not be? Anywhere you can see Tom Brady and Anna dello Russo at the same place, it's a place to be!
I wish I could say something about each and every outfit, but this post would never ever end! So I'll stick to my favorites and my "What was she thinking?!" outfits.
Let's start with François-Henri Pinault in Alexander McQueen, with Mexican Salma Hayek, in Alexander McQueen. She's usually so tacky, but this time, I've got to say, two thumbs up!


Anna Wintour, in Chanel Haute Couture, with her daughter Bee Shaffer, in Balenciaga. I love Anna's Chanel (well, duh, it's Anna AND Chanel!), but Bee... that girl! How do you make a Balenciaga gown look plain and boring? Well, I didn't think it possible but Bee proved me wrong. How, with such a mother, can a person be so un-freakin-glamorous?


Daphne Guinness, faithful McQueen adept, in Alexander McQueen. And wearing my favorite dress of the collection too!


Tom Brady with Gisele Bündchen, in Alexander McQueen. It's ok, I guess. But I don't think she can ever top the Versace she wore to the same event, in 2008.


Naomi Campbell, my fisrt No No of the night, in Alexander McQueen. She looks fat! And that hair... Bangs? Really?


Liv Tyler, Marina Abramović, and Mariacarla Boscono, all wearing dresses of my favorite couture collection of the season: Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci, with the man himself. Oh my god, could Mariacarla look better?


Karl Lagerfeld, in Tom Ford, with his latest muse, Blake Lively, in Chanel Haute Couture. I love-hate her! She looks so good... as per usual! I'm not feeling the shoes, though.


Sarah Jessica Parker in McQueen... Who doesn't remember when, some years ago they walked this very carpet, together, in red tartan matching outfits...


You have to love Hamish Bowles! This is what I call a true McQueen homage.


It truly pains me to say this, but I was very disappointed by Anna dello Russo's McQueen tux. To tell the truth I expected something so much more WOW. Instead, she looked blah. She was just the woman with an egg in her head. No comparison with her Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary surreal Pucci.


Why Leighton? Why?? I always said it, last Louis Vuitton spring collection should have been burnt the second it left the runway... Poor Leighton, the poor victim.


Serena, honey, you missed the date (and the continent), the royal wedding was last week...


Alicia Keys... I just love Givenchy Haute Couture!


Just why? You're on the heavy side? Don't wear, well, this!


Karolina Kurkova fierce and amazing in Gaultier Paris.


Now, that's a gala dress!! Christina Ricci, flawless and glamorous in Zac Posen. Everybody else wear what they wear so that people like her stand out! My winner!

Paris Fashion Week Nostalgia

I'm feeling pretty nostalgic at the moment. I miss Paris so much! Here are some pictures of the fashion weeks I attended... I'm dying to go back!
I thought I'd start chronologically, so, in this post, I'll show you some of my favorite moments of Paris Fashion Week SS 2010.

I'll show, first, the very first time I met Anna dello Russo. I remember I didn't even know who she was, but I saw her wearing this and I thought to myself: "who's that!?". After that day, I always looked for her to see what she was wearing. She always stood up from the crowd. But this is the outfit that made me notice her... and love her!... Her highness, at the end of the Gareth Pugh show:

Wearing Balmain at the entrance of Nina Ricci show:


At Belenciaga, wearing Balenciaga head to toe:



The first time I met Carine Roitfeld, my favorite editor in chief!


And another first, the first time I ever saw Anna Wintour. Granted, only briefly, but I was so starstruck! Here she is, leaving Rochas at full speed:



Me and Grace Coddington at the entrance of the Nina Ricci show:



My first backstage at Vivienne Westwood and a picture of the woman herself:





Dita Von Teese hurrying on her way to Dior.


Karlie Kloss and my friends, after Yamamoto show. She's so nice!!



Some celebrity sightseeing at Gareth Pugh. That's me and Adrien Grenier. He's so cute in person!


And that's me and model Eniko.


And finally, model legend Naomi Campbell walking for Chapurin and rushing off back to London afterwards.




I just realized there are too many pictures and memories for a single post. See you really soon with more: Viktor&Rolf and Alexander's McQueen last show!

A Mexican newspaper that has a clue!

I always thought that fashion greatest names were something strange and unfamiliar to Mexicans, except, of course, some few exceptions, such as people in the business or with a great interest on the topic. So you can imagine my surprise when El Universal, a national newspaper, featured an online article on the 3 most important fashion editors in the world: Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld and Anna dello Russo. I was thrilled to see that, not only did they knew who Anna dello Russo was, they considered her among the top 3! I have to say that, obviously, I agree with them! But more importantly, I love the fact that this information is made known to the general public. It's great, I think, that the work and style of fashion icons, such as Carine and Anna dello Russo, is acknowledged, even here, where they may not be so well known. Read the article here.

Devil DOES wear Prada

I just thought it was very funny of her to wear Prada.... I actually think everytime she does, she does it on purpose! But, I have to say, she's not the devil at all... she's quite nice actually! I just liked the way that title sounds lol.
