Hermes Heaven

Accessories are big, Hermes accessories are heaven. Check the cuff and bag game. This was a great capture over at J&J, as it shows a chica how to get busy with her added-s. Layer the Luxuries!! Create your definition with detail. Don't leave the house naked...

Gareth Pugh: Dior Homme

Gareth Pugh -Designer Dior Homme

....Gareth Pugh takes over at Dior Homme for '09 and beyond!!! His dark-edgy prospective is exactly what caught the attention of DH. It is almost as if Heidi Slimane, who left the DH to Kris Van Assche 2 years ago, would have wanted the book to continue. As obvious as it might seem to pin-point his style, Gareth is a great designer and even greater within his realm of work. His prospective is very edgy and dark, and he seems to always depict this amazing super villain costume that kills the show. KVA you're leaving this empire in great hands...Great work Gareth!

Designer: Alber Elbaz

Alber Elbaz - Designer Lanvin
"[What we] are trying to do here is bring the minimalism of today and the maximalism of yesterday, and create tension"

The epitome of Ageless-Classic-Chic. Alber uses the finest in material and color to construct his garments that just seem to always lay perfect on a lady's body. His work is timeless and adds life to a season without creating a time constrained trend. It has been said that his classic approach was of some guidance from G.Beene, where he first started. Personally I think Alber Elbaz is amongst the best at RTW/W. Props to a resident of Chicville.

1990-1997 - Geoffrey Beene
1998 - Designed RTW women's Yves Saint Laurent clothing

Stylist & Editor: Giovanna Battaglia

Giovanna Battaglia - Stylist & Fashion editor for L'UOMO Vogue

Giovanna was an in-house model for Dolce & Gabbana for almost eight years, and has evolved into a fashion editor/stylist/icon ever since. She stands as a great example to aspiring stylist and fashion editors to continue to pursue your dream with passion. Now to her style... I must commend her for her ability to wear men clothing so well. A tailored pant and a "boyfriend's jacket" here-and-there is becoming a more and more common necessity for a woman's closet, but Giovanna seems to always show gals how to take it to the next level. A resident of chicville (ofcourse), Giovanna seems to never dissapoint. I'm sure this will not be the last time you will see a look of hers on TheStylest. Continue to serve Vogue well, inspire, and beyond.

Jacket: Balmain Jackets

Balmain jackets have an 80's appeal to them (some agree/disagree), having exaggerated shoulder pads and giving off the look of a men's blazer. Over the last two seasons, these Balmains have become the jacket to have. Good or bad?? Sometimes it's sad to see such great jackets become so popular within so many industries, because it takes away from the exclusivity of the jacket and becomes more appreciated by its price-point. In contrast, these jackets are quite the collectors items, conversation pieces, and add great definition to looks. I love the emperiol-devil sense i get from these jackets. My favorite of these three is the first one!!

Fashion Show: Lanvin Fall RTW 2009

Lanvin Fall 2009 - Alber Elbaz

"Emotional Clothing"

Alber Elbaz creates this young sex villain within his collections. This line, particularly, represents the rebel in a woman with a motive, and she just happens to be sexy. Elbaz seems to be one of the innovators in the world that you can truly understand, and he has a great way of guiding you through his prospective, through his garments. One of the best...truly.

Fashion Editor: Hamish Bowles

Hamish Bowles: Editor at Large - Vogue Europe

Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design is where he learned his teachings, prospective, and continued his love. Vogue is where he is currently inspiring. The fashion world happens to be the grounds on which he stomps...he is Hamish Bowles. Hamish is recognized for his wealth of knowledge in art, fashion, interior design, and much more. He's had a helping hand in many books, including "Portrait of a Fashion Icon" by Carolina Herrera in 2004 and "Yves Saint Laurent Style" in 2008. To add a few sprinkles on top, his haute couture, vintage, and historical fashion piece collection is to die. He's also lent his collectables to many museums for the use of study and presentation...

Please continue to inspire!

Look: Gorgeousness.

Head to toe. Legs to Fur. Pumps to skirt. I love this picture for so many reasons. Jak&Jil seems to always keep me equipped with the greatest looks to analyze. Unfortunately, with this look I have little to say, this look is beautiful. Thank you J&J.

Horace - black crochet drape top

This sheer and top, by Horace, is nuts for whomever is willing. I love this top for its detail and its flow. My only hesitation is the see-through holes, but i can work around it. Hmm...

Tara Pucci's Son

Mother. "His father is a designer, so he usually dresses pretty nicely."

This would scare me to death, and I've already had dreams about this. To have a child that would possibly be careless of the level at which he/she presents him/herself through fashion is frightening. Not only because her parents are the opposite, but when you take pride in how you express yourself to yourself and to the world, it says certain things about your character. Agree?

Sidebar: I doubt if this kid has anything to worry about.

Christian Louboutin's First Sneaker

Christian Louboutin's first sneakers ever. These are a part of their A/W 2009 line and will bring some funk to the casual lifestyle for the season. I wouldn't be surprised to see both men and women in these.
