Givenchy power

Hmmmm now that's PERFECT. That's all! (omg I think this might be the shortest post I've ever written... Love you all though!) xoxo

Valentino Spring Couture

Nononono... just YUK! Valentino's designers tried to bring an Avatar-element in the show this time, but have they succeeded to keep up with Valentino's ever bright name in the fashion world? Far from it, if you ask me. See, not everything can be beautiful, let's thank Valentino for the reminder...

All eyes on Paris

As my title proudly presents, the fashion world is turning to Paris for the following weeks. We 've seen Saab, Gaultier, Givenchy, Dior, Hash, Chanel and Alexis Mabille. (beneath) And more are coming! This is what I love about those periods of the year where the codes of fashion are written in invisible stones of glamour while fashion shows are presented. Alexis Mabille was turning to geometry for Spring, his mathematical shapes were craftfully formed and came together into original pieces of work. Lining and color blocking became important elements of this year's collection.




Do you like Cruella De Vil? Well let's look at Dior's Bloody Maryish theme for Spring Couture 2010... The collection consists in dark and fairyish beauty. Like always, John Galliano knows how to make Dior one of the most refined fashion houses the world has known. (or will ever know) Look at that decoration! Look at that glamour, elegance and style! Not to mention the beauuuuuty!! Dior will always have my admiration and adoration, as one of the most worthy of all fashion houses...

Spring couture commences...

Hi guys!

I guess we can say the Spring couture period has finally come to present itself. High Fashion designers like Karl Lagerfeld (see below), Givenchy and (as here presented Gaultier) start to show their Spring 2010 couture collections.
Here's Gaultiers Spring Couture show; I think it's surprisingly beautiful, even more than previous shows!





Surprising were the headpieces, and the southern- and Aztec influences we saw. See-through dresses with exotic patterns and outfits that go way out of proportion have a certain extravagant 'presence'. But as Style.com rightfully writes: Gaultier had a conquistador moment, he didn't fully use his potentail when at tailoring. Never the less impressing as a whole...
I WILL be back for more, as the couture collection now comes out all the more!!!

Exciting! Chanel Spring Couture

OMG! Here it is, Chanel Couture for Spring! This has added up to 6 shows each year. We knew that Lagerfeld was a miracleworker, but this is a more than succeeded mission impossible, YET another... Lagerfeld said it was the first time in his whole career he didn't put ONE golden button in the show. Gold is out, he decided prominently, silver is in. Hard to keep track of course, but that's what we, as haute couture-lovers, like so much about fashion. It never stands still, even for the slightest while.
The show was a mix of romanticism (with its heart-shaped cartoonish hair) and space age. (cf. the silver gloves and neckpieces) 'Futurism!', suggested someone backstage, but Karl didn't agree. 'I don't like the idea of thinking to much straight ahead, fashion is always now', he said self-assured. We saw cocoony bubbles and liquid togas and in many places the jewelry seemed to melt into the structure, inseperable from the lines of these fine pieces of work. As I already said, another King Lagerfeld Miracle. Now we can sit back, all contented and eager for the next show...

Comment

Hey guys!

I'm typing this sooooo fast, because I hadn't any time today, and now I still haven't. But I want to keep up to my 'every day'-writing promise, so here it is^^ Reason I had no time? Had to go to a school talking thing, sort of mouvement where you can have endless debates on God knows what.
I see we have 74 visitors today! That's ... wait ^^ ... +/- 70 in the 6 days this blog exists! You make me proud, guys! You know I love you, xoxo Glenn

Eyes wide open at the SAG awards

The first thing to say about the Screen Actors Guild this year is that Alexander McQueen must have cheered himself a headache: we saw Anna Paquin wearing one of his Spring bug/alien dresses, not to mention Sandra Bullock with a stunning black/purple classy gown, also made by this young British designer.



But that's not all: Kate Hudson looked smoking! She wore Emilio Pucci with Cartier jewels and had the appearance of an ice goddess or a snow Queen. Stunning!



And what about Meryl Streep! I think we can say her style 's advanced, she now wore a green/white flowery Balenciaga dress instead of her black Chris March she had for the globes. Way to go, Meryl!



And these are only a few of tens of beautiful, elegant appearances. Who knew the SAG-awards this year would represent such glamour?

Spotted: Hunter Parrish at Premiere 'It's Complicated'

At his side: Zoe Kazan (left) and Caitlin Fitzgerald (right).
He played one of three kids in It's Complicated, a comedy starring Meryl Streep (L-O-V-E her!) , Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. I thought he did well, but at the side of Actor Goddess Meryl Streep everything else turns a bit pale of course. The movie itself was funny and relaxing, not a major Hollywood success, but certainly worth your time. Side effect: You may find yourself with a smile on your face long after you've turned it off... Be warned!

Heading for a black/white party

Hi guys! As we speak (as I speak) I'm heading for a black & white party organised by a friend. Wonna know what I'm wearing? A black shirt with white pants, black g-star belt and black zara shoes. Oh also I'm wearing my black dogtag, about which you can find more on the blog... C U, dear bloggers!

Dior for Spring?

How 'd you like to cross the streets with Spring in one of these dresses? Would you go butterflyish girl, or classy see-through black? It's up to you to make that heartbreaking decision... or you could go for BOTH! Now thát would solve the giant problem of having to choose between two fine Spring Dior-dresses.

Beosound 9000 (B&O)

Have you seen this? Bang & Olufsen's new beosound 9000 seems to have reached a wide crowd of clients, all trend-following people who don't mind to give a couple of dollars more for an admirably well-formed piece of art slash modern music system. Price ticket? Well let's say you'll need all your savings to get one of these, unless you're high class! Never the less a blessing on your eyes.

Aveda introduces eco-friendly hydration

News has reached my ears about an exclusive eco-friendly brand which distributes products for famous designers who care about the environment. The Aveda corporation has now introduced their new 'Fashion-Forward Hydration Station': eight hundred limited-edition reusable aluminum bottles of hydrants. Progressively successful or just weirdly out of the picture? Because let's be honest, the fashion industry is not known for its interest in the well-being of our eco-system. I myself must admit I sporadically neglect the consequences my brand new watch had on the environment. But hey! It seems to work! Participating designers are John Patrick, Jason Wu, Christian Siriano, Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund 2009 award winner Sophie Théallet. Is this the beginning of a new eco-friendly era in our beloved fashion world? Let's wait and see...

John Galliano's Pearl high heels

Look at that! Another innovative Galliano-creation. No one can deny its originality, but as fashionista's we all know John's closet of fantasy is never-ending; he 'll keep pulling new and beautiful things out of it until he drops dead. Do you think it's original, beautiful (or both), or do you disagree with me? (Which is of course allowed too ^^) I'm thinking another poll? Here we go! You 'll find it on the left.

Dogtag

Hi all!

Let me tell you what I went to buy yesterday. I was on the way to music school (I 've been playing piano since I was 10), when I passed by the shopping mall. I still had some time left, so I took a short stop and went to the H&M-store. Now normally I'm not such an H&M follower, but since a couple of months I've discovered some original things there and as you all know you can get most products for a song. And I'd been looking for a dogtag-necklace with assorti chain. You want to know what I left the building with? Two brand new beautiful dogtag-necklaces (one in black, one with a beige pattern) for €9.90!! (that's 14 USD) I mean, seriously!

Versace Spring 2010 RTW

Good morning! (Writing this I read 11.36 am on my clock in Belgium)

So I went looking for a show that I hádn't seen over and over from the Spring 2010 collections and ended up admiring some beautiful and fashionable looks from Versace. With some ensembles (cf. second photo) I felt a Burberry-vibe. Clapping my hands for Donatella Versace once more, she's truly outdone herself for spring. But who doesn't know that beauty, elegance and style have always been Versace's true essence, and if you ask me; they will always be.

Advertising for a friend

A short yell of attention for a blog created by a good friend, with whom a good conversation about the latest fashion shows, trends, ... is always refreshing. Let me point a finger at poiseandvogue.blogspot.com
That's all!

Spotted: Rihanna at Skavlan TV-show in Oslo

Yesterday, Rihanna was asked to join the programme, answering some questions and afterwards performing. A chance like no other to promote her own style-ideas: what you put on your back on a tv-show WILL be speculated. I leave it to you to form your opinion about her outfit. (cf. POLL on the left)

Rod, Leona and Michael get together for Haiti

As we all know, Haiti was this month's (not to say this years') most dramatic news. So do Michael Buble, Rod Stewart and Leona Lewis; and that's why they already agreed to join the remake of 90's song Everybody Hurts (from R.E.M.); all for the benefit of the Haitian people. What better spice-up in your career as a singer than a charity campaign, I like to think. But never the less a nice gesture towards the poor.

V&R 3d art

Hi there, fashionista's!





Well well, one thing's for sure after seeing this : we don't have anything to teach the Dutch brothers when at 3d-art. Look at that shaping, look at that fantasy!
Just adorable, isn't it?
On the other hand you might dislike it, and most likely you're not a 3d-minded person then. But chins up, there's plenty more in our beloved fashion world.

Blair Waldorf

Hi guys!

Here's what I adore about Gossip Girl-series star Leighton Meester (playing Blair Waldorf) : she (or at least the ensemble-creators) has an incredibly adaptive way of wearing her outfits. At every scene she 'll surprise us with just another right-on dress. For those of you who haven't seen every episode of it (btw shame!!) :





Now I won't say EVERY outfit is as perfect as these, but she's close to perfection, that's for shure!
