HERMES
2012 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year in the celebration of fashion. Definitive exhibitions are popping up all over the globe honoring fashion greats both past and present. As we awe over the recently opened Schiaparelli and Prada exhibit at The Metropolitan, our style savvy counterparts across the pond are lining up for an equally exciting view inside the heritage of Hermes. Leather Forever examines the brand’s love affair with the luxury material as they showcase their unique design and craftsmanship that makes this year’s 175th anniversary possible.
With Fashion Week here it’s likely that you’ve been thinking a little more about fashion and your own personal style. A great way to put a spring back into your step is to update your look with a few key wardrobe pieces such as a great statement blazer, a crisp white shirt, a fabulous black pencil skirt, a show-stopper dress or a flirty top that has special detailing!
I wanted to share with the 'Glam Damn It' readers a boutique that offers amazing style from the runways for reasonable prices! Such fashions can be found at the uber stylish and chic Boutique on 57 in Manhattan located conveniently at 12 West 57th street Suite 807, New York, NY. Kasia is a well-known wardrobe stylist who flies to places such as Paris and Italy to bring back designer wardrobe treasures at budget friendly prices. You can score that investment piece or item you've seen on a runway that your wardrobe is lacking and now is the perfect time to do it! Mothers and daughters agree that Boutique on 57 is the premiere shopping destination in Manhattan for upscale designer finds that Kasia personally chooses for the store in order to create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. With gorgeous designer treasures from Gucci, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and other top fashion notables, Kasia has her pulse on what women want!
The launch took the form of a cocktail party at the stylish Parisian designer store 'Montaigne Market.' When asked about perception of the line so far, Ashley said they had already been struggling to keep up with customer demand: Their much-publicized $39,000 alligator skin backpack, for example, has been flying out of the door:
“It was the first thing that sold off the shelf,” she told reporters, adding by comparison,“During our last economic crisis in the U.S., the only thing that went up was Hermès."
It's St. Patricks Day; and as much as we are attempting to ignore the mosh pits of green cruising down the Avenue of Americas, we can't.
But we will discuss the buzz on the internet today, starting wtih Suri Cruise's $850 dollar Salvatore Ferragamo handbag.
As a tiny tot for fashion, there are a few differences between Suri and us. Actually, there are several major differences between Suri and us. They are:
Paparazzi: Our intimate days of playing tag, hide-and-seek and obsessing over our favorite pink Hula Hop, did not consist of getting photographed by prying eyes to land on the cover of gossip magazines.
Paris Fashion Week has come to an end, and as sad and somewhat happy as we are, we must admit that the week's final days were most certainly the best. Designers who had shown earlier in fashion month (with exception of Cerruti's Richard Nicoll) were given a second chance to wow buyers, editors and fashion followers with their talents. Though some collections were a bit, well, boring, they made a pleasant statement. On the other hand, some collections provided a breath of fresh air to reunite the industry and remind everyone there is a future for fashion.
Towards the closing of Paris Fashion Week (and the end of fashion month in general), things are looking a bit better, at the least. It's not entirely fabulous - but it's not entirely repetitive either.
Chanel: We're starting to realize that the craze about the Chanel shows is obviously the decor - who cares about the clothing anymore, right? Regardless of Karl Lagerfeld possibly going over budget on a real set iceberg and water delivered from Sweden and giving Baptiste his monthly sugar daddy payoff (we get it), the clothes were just like any other Chanel show. Except that Karl felt it would be funny to add a little humor - fur. As in faux fur. The entire bevy showed faux fur, with heavy thigh-high fur retaliation to Prada's Fall 2009 galoshes. Oops!
Although we were sad to see Charles Hamilton leave the music scene, his return and release of his latest creation Normalcy more then made up for it. And now, alongside with Josh Madden spinning the records, the tag team will tear up the opening night at our Fashion Week Gala event at Capitale. Renowned DJ Josh Madden is the perfect complimentary sidekick to match the energy of Sonic The Hamilton. Not only is DJ Josh Madden touring the U.S., he is also a stylist and co-founder of the clothing label DCMA Collective. Talk about the interwining of music and fashion! We were able to get some answers as to what make these two tick.
The name Hermes, while often mispronounced by the fashion illiterate, has meant the epitome of high-end retail and fine leather for almost 200 years. It makes sense that they would want to make Las Vegas' own luxury capital, CityCenter, its new Vegas home.
Hermes first came to Vegas in 1998 when it opened a store at the Bellagio. Then, a year later, a second store in the Wynn and Encore's shopping passage opened as well. Now, a third store at Crystals in CityCenter has opened and will become the new Hermes flagship store.
Ideally, I'd like to braid Hermès scarves into my hair, too; but that would require a billionaire boyfriend and a miracle from Naomi Campbell's hairstylist. But enough about her - Karlie Kloss is relinquishing her supremacy over Vogue editorials in order to take over the Spring 2010 campaigns for Hermes and Dior. What is a 17-year-old supermodel supposed to do with all of her glamorous earnings? Get her driver's license and a silver Land Rover, of course. I hear she's enjoying every minute of being a ‘"normal" teen - that is, until she takes her best gal pals down the magazine aisle.
As avid fashionistas, we sometimes tend to be a little too fanatical, to the max, and we often don't do what the creators of fashion themselves do - take a break! And if you're practicing my mirror image, then you doubless spent your holiday frantically obsession over what everyone else was doing on their holiday. Take Marc Jacobs for instance - sneaking out on Louis Vuitton and their Spring 2010 fur foxtails to lug a green Hermès to the beach in St. Barts with beau Lorenzo Martone. And, though I will leave the unequivocal details of their vacation to Martones' Twitter account - the two couldn't be more lovable. On the other hand, at least they opted to only tweet about their sexual shenanigans, whilst supermodel Lara Stone invited the photogs into a bursting make out session with British boyfriend, David Walliams. The twosome hardly reached up for air during their vacay to Los Cabos, Mexico. I guess Balmain wasn't sticky enough, hmm? And lastly, serving a humble piece of pie, supermodel Kate Moss arrived in Thailand with on-and-off boyfriend, Jamie Hince. Unexpectedly, out of the 3 couples, Moss donned the most clothing, wearing a classic LBD and flirty top. Or maybe we should rather say that she donned clothing for the longest, until it was all-white bikini time. Work, girlfriend!
