Givenchy handbags...f/w 2011!

Thanks to Riccardo Tisci Givenchy became one of the favourite brands of the celebs and its accessories are really appreciated. In the last seasons Givenchy made some amazing bags and so I decided to show you the models for this winter (even if some boutiques are starting to think about s/s). 

These bags are characterized by the typical prints of Givenchy and its colors. Black blue and green are the distinctive signs of this brand and the "cougar pattern" on the transparent tote makes that nice but not so cool bag (the shape is pretty boring) one of the most interesting bags of this period.  The main features of this bags are the simplicity of the shapes and  the richness of details and particulars such as the prints, the materials and the new geometries that are developed on the fronts. I know that these bags are not charming as Bottega Veneta's ones or Balenciaga or the ones of many other brands but apart from this very famous brands Givenchy's accessories owns a gorgeous energy and potential that make them very chic.

Nicholas Kirkwood....f/w 2011!

Nicholas Kirkwood is famous for his asymmetric platform which he improves with new features every season. He adds pearls, wood, cork, leather ...he used every material for his plateau and this season he also showed a more "soft" version of it that make the shoes quite new. The feathers and the mongolian fur   creates a nice effect that was never obtains on shoes (mongolian fur is more often used for coats). He also created exaggerate wedges and triangular heels, as well as "crooked" ones so the shoes get a new identity, The shoes that he created for the f/w 2011 of Rodarte are influenced by the Mulleavy's collection which took inspiration from Amish communities and Kansas. So we can see classic shoes with new pattern, for Erdem he just uses the print of the brand and put it on the shoes. In the end we can see a lcd shoes which is characteristic for the heel that reminds the "prickle heel" of Roger Vivier he just "moved" the prickle.

Anna dello Russo and Deacon's hat!

We all know extravagant style of Anna dello Russo and her unique hats become even year more exaggerate for the ball organized by Carine Roitfeld. During 2010 Anna wore a nice hat by Gareth Pugh and for this year she wore an hat by Stephen Jones for Giles Deacon. The hat is made by a red bird that could seem funny but it's really cool with the black Alberta Ferretti dress that she wore. The Giles collection was amazing and the hat is just perfect for that show, on Anna was so beautiful I like her unconventional fashion. Sometimes people find ridiculous her fruits hats or her outfits but I think that is amazing her courage that allows her to wear clothes directly from the runway and which are always innovative. If we pay attention to her style we can easily notice that she is always very balanced, in this case we can see the red hat matched with that simple black dress: extravagance-simplicity. The overall look appears cool and youth with the "dead bird" that could look "creepy" but is just right for that event.

Versace Atelier...f/w 2011!

Versace is often worn by the celebs on the red carpet and I think that its "couture line" Versace Atelier shows how good is Donatella in making dreams true. This collection is amazing apart from the first dress worn by Katy Perry which was horrible in that dress, but the other dresses are gorgeus. The geometries and the shapes of the dresses are very interesting, the sophisticated the aesthetic is perfectly matched with Versace DNA which is characterized by huge slits and some architectural shapes which underline the waist and highlight the body. The mix between young fashion and classical elegance is very cool and Donatella is one of the few designers which is able to mix these two style in the same collection. For example, the one with all those letters of the brand Versace it's absolutely modern and so perfect for  teenagers but the long dresses are so perfect for mature women so this collection is a couture one that is right for every kind of woman.
