Grace Couture: Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2014

Last night, Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014 began with the Atelier Versace fashion show. The show featured a Lady Gaga soundtrack (that "Donatella" song is INFECTIOUS!) and Miss Gaga was front and center to witness it all...

Muse and Designer--Lady Gaga (in Atelier Verscae Spring 2014) at the a dinner thrown by Donatella Versace

The Look: Donatella Versace took inspiration from Fashion Icon Grace Jones and her penchant for wearing hooded couture--usually from her favorite designer Azzedine Alaia...

Hooded Diva: Grace Jones

For the Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2014 collection, the "Donatella Glam Goddesses" were mostly all hooded--a la Grace--in perfectly tailored yet UBER sexy suits, silk jersey draped cocktail dresses and glittering sequined and draped gowns ready for the red carpet. If you have no problem having EVERYONE staring at you at a party as you walk in with your Billionaire boyfriend, then this is your couture.

I can't help but also think that besides Grace Jones, I also can see the fabulous Sheikha Mozah of Qatar (above) as being a secondary muse for this no-holds-barred Glam-a-licious colelction.

Colors: White, pastels, pinks, baby blue, chartreuse, silver, black, royal purple

Trends: Hoods!!! Silk jersey draped Goddesses; cowl draping details; cowl capes, semi-open backs, sequined midriffs/corseting; Art-Deco sequin accents.

Who Wore What?.....65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: Trend Alert! Purple Haze

Monday, September 23, 2013

Undoubtedly, the HOTTEST color of the night was shades of Purple. Whatever you call it; Grape, Plum, Pomegranate or just plain purple, everyone seemed to be wearing the color on last night's 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Red Carpet.

The main reason for this trend is really quite simple. Stylist were mainly pulling gowns from designer's Fall 2013 Collections. While several actresses were able to get dresses "hot off the runway" from last week's Spring 2014 Runway Shows, most (especially if you are a planner and pick your dress weeks in advance) wore dresses from the Fall 2013 Collections which were presented last February. In addition to shades of purple, Wine, Burgundy and Raspberry were colors that were added to the spectrum.

SUPER Diva Naomi Campbell opens the Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show

The Look: First off, the one-and-only Naomi Campbell opened the Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show in Paris on Sunday--marking the official start of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. She slinked down the runway with a jacket (barely) held together by crystal hooks and eyes--a main detail used throughout this collection designed by Donatella Versace and her design team.

Speaking of barely held together, this was also a running theme of this collection, one that she said was inspired by 1930's black and white fashion photography--such as the iconic Horst P. Horst photo of the Mainbocher corset (above, left). The garments--all made of the most luxurious fabrications, such as croq skin, knitted mink, sequined lace, shredded tulle (these garments can cost $100,00+ if you were to order them)--showed various stages of "undress", as if they were peeling off the body, with lots of skin and intricate lace undergarments poking through. And the final gowns were very red carpet perfect for Donatella's girls like Uma and Angelina (lots of high slits darling!). Here are some highlights:
