Cool people also have fun

Fashion people have the prejudice against them from most that they're just posers, that is, people who spend their lives posing for cameras. And while that might be truth most of the time, they do have their fun! A good old glamorous karaoke night, for example, like the one last night at Alexander Wang's party. I just love the pictures! They look like such a fun crowd! Specially my favorite gals, Anna dello Russo and Carine Roitfeld, rocking Wham!'s "Careless Whisper".

Way to un-lame karaoke, fashion people!!

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!

Carine Leaves Vogue!

I was so saddened by the news. I couldn't believe when I first read it in Twitter. I thought it must be a prank. But, it's as real as her nose, she's resigned, effective in a few weeks. I'm so sad to watch her leave! She is so edgy and cool. She has such a young and daring view on fashion... and, most importantly, she's such a nice person! You don't find those as often as you'd like. Anyways, she'll be missed. All that is left now is speculation... who will replace her? My hopes go for Anna dello Russo, of course!!

Anna dello Russo+H&M+Lanvin = Love

Yes, Anna dello Russo modeling Lanvin for H&M... could it get better? Oh, yes, she has a dog walking the runway with her!...



I, obviously, love the dress... but no H&M in Mexico so... I just have to enjoy it on her...

On a different note, I'd love to share this image with you! That's just Alber Elbaz and Suzy Menkes at the IHT Luxury Conference. Nothing special about it, I just really like them both!

Fabulous has a name

And that would be Anna dello Russo! You have to see this post on her blog to know what I'm talking about. Here's a little preview!




I'm sorry, I just love her!

More Paris Fashion Week old-school

Oh Paris!... and we continue...

Going straight to the first show that blew my mind. Viktor & Rolf and their crazy tulle dresses. The music and the shock of the dresses, it was just too much! I left that show totally hallucinating! It was a trip. See it for yourselves:

We ran into my golden girl, Anna dello Russo outside the show, wearing her favorite golden Dolce & Gabbana.




That's me and Mademoiselle Agnes after Karl Lagerfeld show, in the backstage.


And this is me and Mr. Lagerfeld! He's the best!


Me and Anna Piaggi at Ann Demeulemeester.

The most amazing show ever! Alexander McQueen's last show.

After Castelbajac, me and Diane Pernet and Katy Perry.

The funnest show of the season: Marithe + Francois Girbaud

Anna dello Russo arriving at Givenchy.

That's all for the day!... Next time, last post on Paris SS 2010. Don't forget to like it on Facebook:

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!
