And the Golden Globes are in..

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci
Forget the Golden Globes, this girl's stylist deserves an award! I have not yet seen Rooney in anything distasteful. She looks absolutely radiating in this Nina Ricci dress. No need for accessories - this dress speaks for itself!

Piper Perabo in Theyskens' Theory
While this may be a simple dress, it's speaks volume (literally!) I do wish, however, that Piper had accessorized this look with red earrings to give the togs a bit of color. Nonetheless, this is by far one of my favorite looks of that night.


Dianna Agron in Giles
This dress fits her like a glove! Dianna looks stunning in this florid (and fiery) ensemble by Giles. The perfect up-do and red lipstick not only does the outfit justice, but it shows off Dianna's beautiful oval-shaped face and lush lips.

Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann
It wouldn't come as a surprise to say that Tilda admires Haider Ackermann immensely. She sure loves him and she sure looks good in his clothes. This two-piece dress curves at all the right places and contrasts flawlessly against Tilda's skin tone. The queen of edge sports an androgynous up-do, of which complements the dress immaculately. 

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace
Last, but definitely not least, Angelina stuns in this gorgeous A.V. dress. The red lipstick and red clutch add as an appurtenance to the beautifully tailored gown. Not to mention, the mother of six has a smoking body!

Pre-Fall 2012 Favorites

Helmut Lang



Although it is a continuation of their summer collection, Nicole and Michael Covolos always know how to execute their clothes beautifully! The street style-impelled collection is prominently characterized by snug leather jackets, below knee-length biker pants, and sharp-shouldered blazers. The simplicity of the garments is contrasted by the precise, exquisite tailoring, giving it that needed cohesion that makes it Helmut Lang. 

McQ by Alexander McQueen



Taking inspiration from the English countryside, Sarah Burton infuses Victorian-esque elements into the younger, more accessible, sister line of McQueen. This collection, however, is prominent for its subdued sophistication, rather than an avant-garde edge, providing a nice contrast to its savant associate. I'm extremely excited to see McQ finally showing its first time at London Fashion Week. If it will be a continuation of the Pre-Fall collection, then I am immensely ecstatic! 

 Theyskens' Theory



I may be a bit bias, but I've always had a thing for Olivier Theyskens' ability to mix simplicity with grunginess and contrast femininity in opposition. I love the girl he is always designing for. His Pre-Fall collection is no different. Flowy, soft dresses are infiltrated with black leather blazers and beautifully tailored crew neck knits and T-shirts. To give it that "cool" and sophisticated element, Theyskens' pairs black combat boots with numerous outfits. This collection may be one of the quieter ones this Pre-Fall, but it sure makes a thundering statement. 

 3.1 Phillip Lim



Who says spring has to be characterized by bright, loud colors? At first glance, the color palette could be mistaken for fall. However, at a closer glance, you might see elements of abstemious silhouettes and light textured fabrics, of which is a delineate of spring. The idea of designing a collection inspired by comic books might make one uneasy, but Phillip Lim executes it fantastically without being too literal (Nicolas Ghesquiere should take notes!) He definitely has the ability to render new and innovative creations without losing his signature touch and keen eye for tailoring.
