As the French say...PARFAIT! My mind is drawn to Le Affair du Collier, that moment in time that brought Marie Antonette down...that necklace, those feathers, the net veil...yum!
i just adore this frothy frock, but alas-nothing touched it last night of the carpet of the Oscars, which I could not finish watching it was so very boring.
I knew to expect a posting of this kind here and I am deeply grateful to be undisappointed. From the other side of the rails, I find myself in accord with Gésbi for the thousandth time, however. This extraordinary dress, which I admire for its flow in the final frame above all, apart from its treasurable hue and eloquent translucency, requires an escort not impersonating a car hop at Studio 54. A gentleman welcomes a challenge of this character, most avidly, but dignity upon him (if not in him) is needed to aspire to this accompaniment. Again, LA leads.
Laurent! I can not say anything other than one or 2 fashionable starlets' frocks appealed to me on the red carpet. Can not imagine a Carole Lombard or a fav of mine KATE calling on a stylist. There is little to real personal style today. I did see a costume designer Sandy Powell dressed in honor of David Bowie-mistaken by the fashion reporters as Tilda Swinton-which in and of itself shows there level of intelligence.Gaye
Check out the Oscar-worthy dresses at Ralph & Russo's S/S collection ..... Sooooo gorgeous!
