Want List. Victoria Beckham Denim.



April 9, 2013

Victoria Beckham Denim
Add these Victoria Beckham high-waist flare jeans to my ‘Want’ list. Inspired by none other than VB herself while out with baby Harper in LA over Easter, I’m convinced that a pair of these would be a great addition to my denim stack. She is the best at modeling her own collection (and making me want everything she makes/wears). If I could find these on sale, that would be amazing. A high-waisted super flare jean is a must to give the illusion of long legs and works well when worn with your tallest wedges. Sometimes it’s just easier to wear jeans when going out on Saturday nights and this silhouette is sexy, yet different from what everyone else is wearing. I even love the back pocket detail, so simple but true to the Victoria Beckham branding.

Runway Review. Saint Laurent Fall/Winter 2013.



March 5, 2013

Saint Laurent. Fall/Winter 2013.

Hedi Slimane is off in his own little world designing for the house formerly known as Yves Saint Laurent. While this is only his second collection for the line he promptly renamed Saint Laurent Paris (and then moved the design studio to Los Angeles…huh?), Slimane gave us ‘haute couture made grunge’ per Kristen Dunst who was one of the celebrities at the show. While his first collection for Saint Laurent was 70’s hippie rock chic, with wide brimmed floppy hats and flowy maxi skirts, this collection was quite the opposite. Fall/winter 2013 spoke to 1990’s Seattle grunge rather than the iconic motifs from the YSL collections of decades past. Think Courtney Love. The collection featured a plaid babydoll mini dress with a sweet Peter Pan collar, floral dresses with oversized boyfriend sweaters, lots of leather in biker jackets, mini skirts, slashed leggings. Many of the looks either were characterized by a jacket/grandpa sweater over a dress or  a loose bow detail at the collar.

Saint Laurent Fall-Winter 2013

Monsieur Saint Laurent was one to push the envelope but his collections always had a classic element to them. I’ll admit, there were some cool looks in the show, but none of it was reminiscent of the house of Yves Saint Laurent. It reminded me of a Marc Jacobs or Alexander McQueen punk/grunge collection. I understand the YSL brand wants to capture a younger customer but they can’t forget who has the spending power. This new direction they have taken is moving them further away from the elite category with the likes of Chanel and Dior.  In an effort to be different, Hedi Slimane did something that was not directional nor original. Sure all the cool LA girls will grab up the ripped leather leggings and oversized sweaters….but I’m pretty sure I can get all of that right now at Zara, ASOS, Topshop, etc, etc.
