The Look: For Fall 2013, Frida Giannini of Gucci, went dark, subversive, and UBER sexy with her collection. While her Spring 2013 Collection was all colors and Italian Riviera Diva circa 1960's, for Fall 2013, she's paler, harder, more moody, and now, has moved on to taking her Fall/Winter trips to London...or Finland. Gorgeous wools, pythons, feathers (LOTS!), lace, brocades, and satins--both shiny and matte.

WHO WORE WHAT?.....2014 Grammy Awards: Taylor Swift in Gucci Premiere

 

Taylor Swift in Gucci Premiere: Taylor Swift looked stunning in a custom-made Gucci Premiere silver Swarovski-crystal encrusted "chain-mail" like column gown. 

The gown featured a crew neckline, drop-shoulder short sleeves and a waist-cinching silver jeweled waistband. Gucci Premiere, by the way, is the "Haute Couture"/made-to-measure arm of the Italian House of Gucci.

One of the Best Dressed at the 2014 Grammy Awards so far, for sure!

Let's begin with Etro's "Three Amigos":

Etro Menswear Spring 2014

The Look: Mariachi traveling band meets "Three Amigos". The Italian fashion house of Etro--known for its fabulous prints and impeccable tailoring--went to Mexico for Spring 2014. The styling was a little over-the-top but it made for a good trip. yes, the big ol' sombreros and boots were there, along with the sexy UBER tight Mariachi pants, a sarape and scarf here and there added for a little bit of a "Mexican Dandy" flair; these Mariachis might pay more attention to the Señor and not the Señoritas, but who cares!

WHO WORE WHAT?.....85th Annual Academy Awards: Jennifer Garner in Gucci Premiere

Jennifer Garner in Gucci Premiere: I saw this dress from atop the "balcony" while doing my TV Guide Network 2013 Academy Awards Red Carpet Live Show. She looked fabulous from up there! I loved the maroon/violet color and especially the back detail of cascading silk organza. She not only looks like a Movie Star but the wife of a man who is about to win multiple Academy Awards. Very Regal.

And speaking of regal: THAT necklace. Lord have mercy! That is a necklace worthy of a former Empress of Iran (how "Argo" apropos!).

Gucci Premiere, in case you don't know is the Custum Gucci arm of the Gucci Brand--mainly consisting of Red Carpet gowns created just for celebrities and made almost like the Haute Couture creations of Paris.
