Magnificent Marchesa

Few designers left me awestruck following my review of the Resort 2011 collections. One line, however, that left me begging for more was Marchesa. This collection was all over the place, some looks resembling flapper dresses and 1950's styles, while others seemed Grecian inspired. Some of the gowns might very well be some of their best pieces EVER. Yes, I mean that. And if you don't believe me, look below to find out why I am so infatuated with their Resort 2011 collection.

Oh, Elie!

The one. The only. The gifted Elie Saab. One of my all-time favorites. It is hard for me to have disdain for any piece of his. Below I posted some highlights of his Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear collections. Begin to feast your eyes...

Divine Demi

I recently felt the urge to revisit my personal favorite of the 2010 Oscars Red Carpet. By far, Demi Moore was the "best dressed." Please note that I normally hate using this cliche term, as there are multiple aspects that make or break a style, and it is exceedingly rare when a celebrity aces all these facets in a single night. On this occasion, however, Demi was glowing in her Atelier Versace gown. More of my Oscar favorites? Elizabeth Banks in Versace, Meryl Streep in Chris March (Project Runway alum), and Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab.
