Gaultier Spring 09 Couture

I just love Jean Paul Gaultier's spring couture collection. The complex lines, pleating, pintucks and weaving on lightweight sheer fabrics is absolutely amazing! Gaultier has a love of traditional corsetry and it really shows through in this collection in many ways.

2009 Golden Globes Style

I'm not the Fashion Police, nor do I agree with everything the FP say, but I love to see what is happening on the red carpet stylewise. Here are a few favorites and some fabulous trends: light colors and bright colors, strapless or one shoulder asymmetrical gowns, the "pouf" and the mermaid. My absolute favorite dress and style was Eva Mendes, so chic, fun and glamorous without looking dated.
Eva Longoria Parker is my second favorite, the fit is perfect, love the red, the scalloped neckline and the mermaid silhouette of this Reem Acra Gown! Another red carpet white gown by J. Mendel (one of my favorite designers) worn by Kate Beckinsale. Love the pouf at the neckline and the mermaid style
I love the draping and the one-shoulder on this Elie Saab gown worn by Laura Linney, so classic hollywood.
Another J. Mendel worn by Elizabeth Banks, love the texture and once again the white/light color that could be a great alternative wedding gown.
I think Evan Rachel Wood looks gorgeous in this vintage Elie Saab gown, love the layers and dramatic texture.
OK, so I love Lanvin and I love Maggie Gyllenhaal and even though it's not my favorite I think it's a great statement and styled very beautifully, plus the asymmetrical neckline with the pouf is very NOW.
