The designer's costume constitute retrospective features approximately 100 ensembles and 70 accessories from the late designer's prolific 19-yr carreer with some outstanding pieces from the Givenchy Archive in Paris, custom-made items from the closet of Isabella Accident and even his graduate collection at Central St.Martins among others.

The Met gala has anyhow become over the years the fashion customs's biggest carmine carpet nighttime. It was no wonder to spot some McQueen tributes to the mix.
My favourite ii looks past Alexander McQueen were Gisèle Bündchen who looked so radiant in her red gown next to her married man Tom Brady…
… and Anna Dello Russo, known for her eclectic style, showed upward in a pant adjust from the S/South 2011 collection, divine!
As for me, the ultimate highlights were the „Stella Girls" with Stella McCartney herself making an appearance in a black and white tuxedo gown of her own design. It was a modern, probably experimental only uncoventional await. The British designer is also a Co-Chair for the fundraising event.
The Stella McCartney parade was led past Madonna in a silky blue gown with a cute embroidered train. With her 50's hair and make-up, she looked very Hollywood. Wow!
Very pregnant Kate Hudson glowed in her champagne-coloured Stella gown and long tousled hair.
This is my favourite. Gwyneth Paltrow chose to go with long sleeves which was a popular trend at the gala. So simple and absolutely stunning. The actress is skillful friends with the British designer.
Rihanna in a one-shoulder black lace gown, an iconic Stella look!
Adding some colour drama, Eva Mendes enhanced her complexion past wearing a cobalt blue plissé dress by Stella McCartney. And so cute!
What a night!

It is August and the majority of autumn campaigns tin can be seen at present in the new mode magazines, ads merely keep coming out of the woodwork and and so I wanted to give you a brief summary of the most important ones and by whom they were shot.
It is funny to see that this globe in particular is pretty small-scale and some photographers are ahead of the game.
My personal favourite is Bottega Veneta`south stiff expressive F/West 2010 campaign. Shot by the godfather of energetic graphic photography himself: Robert Longo. The artist has became famous in the late 1970s and early 1980s with his series „Men in the Cities" that depicts men and women in business attire contorted in extreme positions.
The winner this season seems to exist renowned Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. The dream team that has defined the look of the by decade, shot the most campaigns. Enjoy my preview:
The American photographer and long-time protégé of both Franca Sozzani and Anna Wintour, editors-in-chief of Italian and American Vogue is likewise a big shot in the world of fashion photography. No wonder, Steven Meisel shot all those gorgeous campaigns.
Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinood Matadin, a fashion photographer duo that is well known for their independent art work. Most of their photographs are both critical and slightly agonizing as you can run across in the campaigns they shot for F/W 2010.
Italian-born Mario Sorrenti is a photographer and manager best known for his spreads of nude models in the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
Peruvian manner lensman Mario Testino has shot many style stories and celebrities. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums.
Hermès has come up with another really beautiful advertising campaign shot by Paolo Roversi. I love his romantic, vintage looking photos that always seem to tell a story. To me, a perfect choice for the French house!
Bruce Weber is a well-known face in the world of advertizing photography. His career actually took of in the belatedly 1980s and early 1990s with his famous advertisement images for Calvin Klein.
Juergen Teller's work is extraordinary and with a distinctive blueprint. His raw style makes him one of the near influential fashion photographers working today.
Multi-talent Karl Lagerfeld likes to keep everything in his own hands. So no wonder that he shoots the ad campaigns for his own collections for Chanel and Fendi.
Steven Klein is an American photographer that shot many high-contour advertizing campaigns for diverse clients. This season he was hired by Dolce & Gabbana to capture a close knit Italian family with Madonna as the matriarchal figure through his lens.
Great task!

Can you guess where we are in time-travelling later my lastet posts about lace and rocking hot black leather? Yes, nosotros have arrived in the `80s. For some people, the golden decade was the worst one fashionwise but since a few seasons designers take relied on some of the worth recycling styles. The leggings and skinny jeans came back around 4 years ago and who would have e'er imagined their ongoing success?! They have definitely conquered my closet and I never desire them to vanish again as the modernized versions are stylish and comfortable in one.
Designers accept returned 20 years this F/West 2010 to discover the `80s ma-ma-material dazzler and and so can you. Let`s begin!
Yous might feel similar a virgin in a sharp leather pencil skirt, sequined blazer and fishnet stockings. Add lots of accessories like the iconic safety pins, stacked bracelets and big cantankerous pendants for the ultimate killer look!
Balmain launched a real boom with the return of the shoulder pads. The last seasons, fashionistas have crazed all over the world for the must-have blazers and jackets. The hype is definitely not over yet! Party like it`south 1982 in those brocade and patchwork nightclub nostalgia pieces from the F/Westward 2010 runways. Absolutely screaming hot are red leather leggings, some other must for this winter!
The `80s encouraged self-expression with eyecatching neon colours and rainbow dyes. I would not do the consummate look simply yous tin can hands embed 1 sparkling vivid slice into your daily vesture. One thing I am not so sure is near the über-teased pilus…. probably a piddling too much retro-style. Only yet the point of fashion is that girls just wanna take fun! Then let`due south start experimenting….
In instance that yous are looking for your personal Jesus, attempt black leather and fringes. So hot! Sequined leggings combined with a denim jacket would turn you besides very fast dorsum to the `80s without looking disguised.
If you want to find the mode cure for this winter`due south fashion heritage, you could opt for a goth look with an asymmetrical cropped sweater or some cut out off-shoulder-tops. And I am sure that this Friday, you will be in honey.
My personal `80s-inspired object of desire is this gorgeous suede buckled V-cervix clothes by Balmain. Available from today at net-à-porter. This is rock glam chic at its best! Hard to trounce it.
LoL, Sandra
What a divine liaison: the "Collection Créateur" – an collaboration between Jean Paul Gaultier and La Perla.
I could not retrieve of a better designer to bring together forces with the Italian house.Gaultier has lingerie in his claret existence the godfather of the very pointed conical bra cups that became famous due to his creations for Madonna`southward 1990 Blond Appetite Tour. He loves to use underwear as outerwear.
During the ongoing haute couture shows in Paris yesterday, two special express edition garments were already presented at Gaultier`southward show: a backstitch satin bra with a shoulder-strap motif and glove-holding strings plus a suspender chugalug, demonstrating the stylish union between haute couture and lingerie. Dita van Teese walked downward the aisle as the finale, what a match!
The 27 creations of the capsule drove will go on auction in November 2010 at La Perla and Gaultier boutiques worldwide, and select department stores.
So pretty and soooo hot!
LoL, Sandra
Yesterday I showed you the first sketches of the Gucci Kids drove that will make the hearts of the tiniest trendsetters leap with joy. I am at the moment in 50.A. and this might have inspired me to today`s postal service. Celebrity offspring following in their parents` stylish footsteps is seen here everywhere. Photographed past trendhunters, the kids have an already well-established expect like their mode-icon mums and dads.
With Suri Cruise leading the way at the ripe old age of 4, who would have thought the piddling girl that newly born already graced the encompass of Vanity Fair magazine would become such a fashion superstar?! There are blogs devoted to her manner, designers send her presents (remember Ferragamo`southward Sofia tote) and information technology might exist merely a matter of time before Hermès creates the "Suri" handbag. Y'all can fence about the „high heels" she is wearing but the mini fashionista definitely rocks the Burberry check and ballet tutus. Malicious gossip has it that she is pushed by her parents. Regardless of the veracity or otherwise of that business relationship, I can assure you that my dear for fashion started very very immature, also. I drove my mum crazy with my strong attitude towards my own style.
The trivial fashion icons also play a pivotal part in the advertising concepts of their extra-designer-mums that generally take their own fashion lines. Doesn`t Suri looks adorable in her mum`due south Holmes & Yang dresses?
Or permit`s expect at No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani who designs the stylish Fifty.A.M.B. drove and dresses her son in the subsequent line for little L.A.Grand.B.s.
Ex Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling has turned her style into a clothing line for kids age 0 upwardly to 4 years named Little Maven. The female parent of 2 too wrote a book about stylish motherhood.
Another book author is Nicole Richie whose second novel "Priceless" volition be in stores this autumn. She is probably the about experienced and successful designer of all these stylish mums. Her 2 lines are named subsequently her daughter`due south three names: The accessories and shoe collection is called House of Harlow 1960 and the clothing line Winter Kate. Nicole has a great vintage inspired boho-chic way with a modern edge. She also got a lot of credit for her maternity line that she created in collaboration with A Pea in the Pod.
That the tiny trendsetters can become grown-upwardly "Material Girls" shows the instance of Madonna`s xiii-year-erstwhile girl Lourdes Leon who is co-designing with her mum a juniors wearable line named after Madonna`s 1984 hitting song for Autumn 2010. Information technology is a mix of violent and cute elements with a lot of references to the singers former look like a tutu apparel paired with studded combat boots. The Material Girl collection volition be sold exclusively at Macy`s for back-to-school-flavor starting August 3rd.
