C*NT: a black & white series by ADEEN

It's about time we heard about A Hit of Sarah's favorite model, Andrej Pejic, and this time he's looking as scandalous as ever. In ADEEN NYC's first ad campaign, Pejic models a skimpy bathing suit and a baseball cap that reads the word CUNT. Apparently the line is known for it's sexually suggestive accessories and adding an androgynous beauty to the mix probably just got them even more attention.  Needless to say, the boy looks good in that bikini.

Forever, Sicily

It was only a matter of time before I voiced my thoughts on the Dolce & Gabbana show and although my opinion might be biased-- like most of the critics, journalists, and editors who saw the collection; I agree. I think that Stefano and Domenico created one of their best collections to date. Although it had some similarities to the last spring collection- the lace, cuts and styles of the garments- this collection was unique in that it was the biggest ode to Sicily the designers have yet to give. 

Models wore pearl headbands, chandelier earrings and a culmination of lace dresses and Sicilian inspired prints of the old Italian Catholic Church variety. They closed the show all wearing different variations of black lace pieces trimmed with gold details. A modern spin on old Barroque fashion. Like the spring advertisements suggest, Dolce and Gabbana are showing their Italian pride more and more with each season. This one is definitely one of my favorites.

ADRIANA VS. DOUTZEN

I really don't need to say anything about this editorial....it speaks for itself. Adriana Lima, Doutzen Krous, fishnet tights, bare stomachs, wrestling eachother. What can possibly be hotter? Damn. Styled by Nicola Formachetti, photographed by Mario Testino, V Magazine, we're all winners here.

The Print Masters

If Paris is known for it's couture, then London should be known for it's wonderful prints. The past few seasons London's fashion week has displayed the talent of designers who have mastered the art of mixing beautiful prints. This art has continuously produced unique collections season after season. Last week in London, Mary Katrantzou and Peter Pilotto have displayed the most intricate and tasteful prints, making them the Queen and King of this challenging design technique.


MARY KATRANTZOU
Last year Katrantzou won the coveted honor of being named 2011's emerging talent in ready to wear by the British Fashion Council. This lead to her hugely celebrated upcoming collaboration with Top Shop and numerous features in fashion publications world wide. It's easy to see why everyone is in love with Katrantzou's designs. Her prints are colorful, powerful and imaginative. She mixes them perfectly with flattering feminine silhouettes, which make her prints not only beautiful, but wearable for all women.

PETER PILOTTO
Pilotto was also nominated as one of the British Fashion Council's emerging talents for 2011. Although he didn't win, you can see that his collection is also beautifully executed like Katrantzou's. The crazy and colorful prints on flattering silhouettes also make his collection a wearable art form.

Hello, Dolly!

I'm loving this sexy Dolly Parton inspired editorial in Lovecat Magazine's most recent issue! Photographed by the talented Ellen von Unwerth, Valerie van der Graaf looks amazing in Dolly inspired raunchy cowgirl looks. The only criticism I will give is that van der Graaf's face is almost the same in every shot, but whatever- it works for her! The girl is gorgeous and the shoot, brilliant.

 

RED HOT

New York Fashion Week has gone and past and London Fashion Week is now in full swing. From the many beautiful collections I've seen so far I've noticed that a specific color has been frequently appearing for fall- red. All different shades of red, but bright red seems to be the most popular one. Were the designers in the Valentines spirit? Do they see this fall being warm, strong and filled with love? Who knows, but what we do know is that red is definitely the in color for the fall season...and I love it.

The Most Unique Collections @ NYFW, Fall 2012 rtw

There are so many talented designers who show at New York Fashion Week... but I feel like a good majority of them are not very daring and sometimes a bit plain. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan and supporter of minimalism, but I feel that it is often easily mimicked and almost always recreated. The designers who can create something that you could never imagine to think up are the ones who I'm the most amazed and inspired by. Here are a couple of designers who brought some creativity and originality to the runways of New York Fashion Week this season.

THREEASFOUR

The Threeasfour shows always have a star studded front row and collections filled with amazing one-of-a-kind designs, but never the amount of recognition they deserve. Granted most people would not wear these pieces in their every day lives, but it's obvious that the shapes, prints, and cuts of the collection take some serious creativity and talent. The result of it is a flawless twenty piece well executed and unique collection.

MIGUEL ADROVER

Yesterday, The Daily Front Row, featured looks from Miguel Adrover's fall ready to wear collection. Until then I had never heard of him. Apparently Adrover revived his eponymous line this season and I'm really glad he did otherwise I may have never discovered his wek. I loved the land and animal references in his designs. Some of them are absolutely ridiculous, but only someone with immense creativity could ever imagine kittens pulling on a sweater and then make it happen.

 

JEREMY SCOTT

The Simpons, rainbow technicolor dream coats, and melting smileys leave me asking what  the hell was Jeremy Scott on this season? Scott always has extremely unique collections. There's always an uncommon source of inspiration that is worked throughout the entire collection and this season it was The Simpsons. Who would've thunk they could be so fashionable? I want a Bart Simpson sweater!
