Lady Gaga drops the ball

First post of 2012! I find it very appropriate for it to be about New York's ball dropping on New Year's Eve and Lady Gaga. Quite a simple story, actually. This is just me noting the fact that she pushed the button alongside Mayor Bloomberg while wearing Atelier Versace! She's been wearing a lot of Versace lately... 

My theory? Her contract with Armani is over and now she has one with this other Italian house. It was a great dress and I hope to be wrong about the contract part! ...Either way, Happy New Year!

Lady Gaga married the night!

This post is long overdue!... I give you my take on Lady Gaga's latest video, the self-directed, self-starred, 14 minute movie, a.k.a. Marry the Night.

I think it's genius, and if you don't get it, like I bet no one does, you can watch the whole explanation here, like I did. It will save you a lot of head scratching!

But now, let's get down to business. Fashion credits! The styling was, of course, by Nicola Formichetti. In his website he gives you the most scrupulous fashion credits. I, on the other hand, will give you the condensed version.

Number one, the hospital robes and nurses' uniforms, all by Calvin Klein. The shoes, just like Gaga says it herself, custom Giuseppe Zanotti.

Number two, all the ballet outfits, which I love, are by Atsuko Kudo.

Number three, the whole denim-glitter number, shoes included, by Atelier Versace.

...Many outfits later, vintage Moschino suit. I adore it!

To top it all, the hat we're all wondering about (ok, the hat I was wondering about), by Void Of Course.

The very last scene, features Lady Gaga in a Paco Rabanne outfit out of a collection that, let's face it, was practically made for her.

And that's that! Hope you like it as much as I did!

PS. The scene with the cheerios, the most decadent thing I've seen Gaga do. And that's saying a lot!
PS2. I loved the scene with the cheerios!

Carine's back!

Back in action! Carine sat out the last ready to wear FW at Paris in order not to confuse people. Now, however, she's full fledged back! This time, however, she's a simple, ordinary client (Yeah, right), who happens to get fitted by Donatella and Jean Paul Gaultier (among others), just like everyone else... So, in collaboration with W magazine, she documented this process in a short film, entitled The Client. It's a lot of fun!!! You can watch it HERE. You should!

Here she is in the Premiere Party, in Paris.

And, here are a couple of funny stills of the video... She makes fun of her own super french accent. 

Versace for H&M

The new big collaboration of H&M, this time, with Versace, is looming nearer. This pink meets leather, meets palm trees, super fun and quintessentially Versace collection is going to be available in stores on November the 17th. If you wish to purchase anything from the collection worthwhile, I would recommend you stand in line really early... the best pieces fly out of the shelves! Get me any of these while you're at it:

Enjoy the super fun ad, featuring Donatella and two lookalike models inside the Versace version of Saw.

Golden Globes: The good, the bad and the... questionable

I'm watching the Golden Globes red carpet. I couldn't resist to post a bit of fashion police! I'll start by saying that this is not my favorite red carpet. I saw little imagination and less risk taking. With few exceptions, I'd call it boring. Let's start with Natalie Portman wearing Viktor & Rolf. I feel bad saying this about her, I like her so much, but that red rose? I mean, there are ways to do statements and that is not one of them. A risk taker that got it right? Tilda Swinton.


An honorific mention in the risk department goes to Julianne Moore. That Lanvin was gorgeous, but the color? She was on a RED carpet, with her RED hair, in a hot pink dress? I don't think so. January Jones in Versace, a bit racy, but perfectly worn risk. And I don't love red, but I'll take it.


My worst dressed are, without a doubt, Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. You are not going to a [tacky] wedding darling. And, of course, Michelle Williams in Valentino. Just, seriously?... What was she thinking??


Now, the pretty. Catherine Zetha-Jones in Monique Lhuillier, in one of the most popular colors of the night, which, incidentally, becomes her greatly. And, even though I don't personally like her a lot, Anne Hathaway pulls off that Armani Privé. She was dressed by Rachel Zoe by the way.


And finally, the big winner of the night. There's no denying it. Angenlina Jolie can do no wrong! She looks as effortlessly beautiful as ever in this green Versace (designer winner of the night, in my opinion) and, what better accessory than Brad Pitt? The picture of perfection.
