G Jo at Fashion Week

One of the hottest "it" girls, "socials," "party girls," in Gotham got down at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Whether you love to hate her or hate to love her, this girl's got something. I'm actually not a fan of her style. At ALL. But, she is frequently one of Vogue's best dressed. If Vogue anoints you as a chic young thing, then you are chic indeed. I think Genevieve is quite misunderstood, but I love seeing a black girl on the scene. In addition to dabbling in interior design, she designed a line of jewelry that has gotten good reviews.

Monique L'Huillier F/W 08-09

It was one stunner after another at the Monique L'Huillier show. The textures, jewels, and fur really made for a transcendent collection reminiscent of Parisian couture.

Carolina Herrera F/W 08-09

Oh Carolina. *sigh* I don't even know where to begin. Save these two looks, the rest of the collection. . .I need to regroup. Great fall palette. Lots of warm, dark, and rich colors. But the silhouette left much to be desired. When I saw some of the looks, in particular the hats, I couldn't help think of that picture of Pocohontas after she became anglo-saxonized. Am I the only one who sees the resemblance? Anyone? (crickets chirping)
This dress below is pretty fabulous. The fringe, the details, the flowy sleeves, Liya Kebede... What's not to love about this look? This dress would sell like hotcakes if it came in more colors ie a taupe or heather grey or bordeaux burgundy. (Caroline, we know you're fabulous, but not everyone can pull off that mustard look, dahling.) And the fact that the dress looks great with elf-like boots and a feather-spiked fedora proves that it would look even better with stilettos and a clutch.

Overall, the collection is definitely a look...But I'm not sure how this will translate into something wearable for the masses. Maybe the colors, capes, and boots will be "edited" to fit the real woman. We shall see. Still, interesting tones and great dresses (per usual).

Face Hunting

My version of face hunting in Paris:



I was trying to be discreet while snapping photos of outfits that I found interesting. Unfortunately that didn't get me a great shot of the clothes. Still, you get the basic idea. I bet Parisians are used to tourists taking photos of everything in sight, so perhaps they wouldn't be fazed by the camera.
