Beer brand heiress, designer, model, journalist, collector of haute couture and newly-turned actress finally made her debut in The Legend of the Lady White Snake, a Tribute to the Spirit of Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen’s second line McQ “leaves” it all on the runway. This melodramatic spectical was an ode to the late Alexander McQueen, who gave each runway show a theatrical performance. Autum leaves sprinkled the runway as military inspired coats, and thigh high laced boots started the show. As the leaves continued to fall structured gowns in floral print and lace graced the runway.

Expect “rugged” elegance from Michael Kors for Fall 2012. The hugely successful and enviable designer that has been known for his classic American sportswear and “safe” designs unveiled a collection that should be considered a milestone of his career. It was dramatic and exquisitely luxurious– from furs to leather to tweed. I am obsessed with his new direction!

Colored jeans are the perfect statement piece for any outfit, and the color options are endless this Spring! However, there are many people who stay clear of this trend. Here are some helpful hints on how to ROCK colored jean instead of fear it.
Tip 1: Your colored jeans are your main accessory, keep everything else with your outfit very simple, the jeans should be the main focus.
Tip 2: Colored jeans are most flattering in a skinny cut.
Tip 3: When pairing your colored jeans with a top stick to a neutral, black or white top. However, for you Fashionista’s, there is a perfect opportunity to color-block!

Designer lawsuits are often filed, some of them absurd, while others spot on. Three designer lawsuits in particular have caught our attention, visible proof shows a lawsuit waiting to happen, but you can be the judge.
Christian Louboutin vs. Yves Saint Laurent
Christian Louboutin pulled the “S” word on Yves Saint Laurent. Louboutin reported copyright infringement on the “Chinese red” sole, which was featured in YSL 2011 resort collection. However, the judge ruled that copy infringement on a color was too broad and YSL walked away.
Diane Von Furstenberg vs. Forever 21
In 2007, Diane Von Furstenberg sued Forever 21 for copying not only one, but five pieces from her line. Forever 21, being sued numerous times before this, were ordered never to duplicate a Diane Von Furstenberg look again.
Hermes vs. Thursday Friday
A Birkin bag is something that every women desires, but most will never have. The company Thursday Friday decided to make their own spoof on the Birkin, which landed them into a lawsuit with Hermes. Thursday Friday silk screened a picture of the Hermes Birkin on a canvas bag and put them up for sale. This act not only got them sued but also pulled their canvas bag from the market.
What do Givenchy and football have in common? ……The Super Bowl halftime show! Madonna graced the stage wearing 3 different Givenchy outfits, which made heads turn, and not because there was a wardrobe malfunction. Riccardo Tisci created last night’s pieces which consisted of a silk mini dress with hand crafted leopard cape, a gold embellished coat, and a black sequence coat for the finale. The accessories were also a force to be reckoned with. Her elaborate head piece worn in the beginning of the performance was designed by Philip Treacy, and all other jewelry was Bugari.
