What do you think? How would you rock it?

Anna Dello Russo showed off her Paris street style in the same Chanel Fall 2016 White Ruffle Dress as Kristen Stewart did back in July for the Cafe Society premiere:

Anna rocked her Chanel dress with confidence and attitude.  Her shades added a personal touch.

Kristen stayed true to her edgy style by keeping her choppy hair cut as is and rocking minimal makeup.

I’m not a fan of this dress but Anna definitely rocked it better.  Kristen looks uncomfortable.

What do you think?

Anna Dello Russo owed this!

Kristen looks great!

This dress is hideous, they both look bad

I can’t decide

Disco is never going to die—in large part because fashion designers cannot get enough of the iconic era. Carol Lim and Humberto Lim were inspired by Studio 54 for their Spring 2017 Kenzo collection. Not an unprecedented influence we know, but the design duo’s riff on it was impressive, imaginative, and modern.

The pair worked with legendary fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez for the assortment—a man whose thrilling and carnal work is one of the markers of disco. It also harked back to reality for the brand, as Kenzo Takada showed a collection at the famed nightclub back in the late 70’s with Jerry Hall, Grace Jones, and more in attendance. Talk about iconic.

Despite the flashy motivation, there was a lot of functionality on display. High-waist trousers and classic button-front shirts lent a utilitarian air to the designs, while nylon LBDs made the best case for wearing the athletic-inspired, waterproof fabric to the office.

Outerwear ensured the Kenzo woman will transition from Winter to Spring in style. A white, calf-grazing parka was one of the most grounded pieces among the wares, with a red belted coat with contrast black lapels posing as its polar opposite.

Lopez’s photomontages of supermodels will surely be the most snapped pieces among the assemblage—and may have the most retail power if they’re priced reasonably. On oversized t-shirts, colorful high-waist pencil skirts, and drawstring-accented tops, they had the most star power: not just because they were emblazoned with some of the world’s biggest mannequins.

The easy slip and tank dresses uplifted with bold paillettes and sequin embellishment will certainly be red carpet go-tos for the brand’s legion of fans including Zendaya, Chloe Sevigny, and Vashtie.

It’s a battle of the brunettes!  Model Miranda Kerr was spied in the same $2,611 Unravel Lace Up Leather Pants as Kim Kardashian wore during Paris Fashion Week.

Miranda went rocker-chic in an over-sized black coat, black blouse and lace up Unravel pants.

Kim K. opted for an over the top look by pairing her leather pants with a Givenchy fur coat.

The lambskin leather pants feature a lace-up detail in the front, back, inseam and outer seam of the pants with fringe at the hem.

You can purchase them here for $2,611.

I like both looks but Miranda’s ensemble is wearable while Kim’s seems more like a costume.

What do you think?  Who rocked the Unravel Lace Up Leather Pants best?

Who Wore it Better: Miranda Kerr vs Kim Kardashian in Unravel Lace Up Leather Pants

Kim K of course!

This is easy… Miranda Kerr !

I’ll pass on both of them

I can’t decide, I love them both!

Charm and a kind of grounded grandeur that is hard to pull off for most comes easily to Kym Ellery. She injected her brand’s signatures with beguiling fabrics, fresh takes on silhouettes, and eye-catching prints, embroidery, and embellishment for her Spring 2017 collection.

An edgier vibe was at play, with looks that demonstrated a more rebellious and defiant streak for the Ellery woman. The brand was inspired by the dissenters, experimenters, and independents throughout history who used fashion to express their points of view.

Japanese girl gangs (referred to often as sukeban and Bosozoku) could be seen in high-waist trousers and cropped jackets with bustled sleeves—some fashioned out of croc-embossed leather for the ultimate in luxury and flair.

A punk feel came through with thigh-high spins on the classic bovver boot and ring-accented chokers: sure to be among the season’s most coveted accessories.

Classic suiting was given modern flair with glossy button accents and elongated sleeves, while track pants were elevated with flare legs and a white fur topper.

Rita Ora, Nicole Scherzinger, and Tracee Ellis Ross have all worn the brand in the past few months. And we’re certain the artful LBDs, a sultry, daisy-embroidered mesh jumpsuit, and the colorful beaded designs will tickle their fancy, both on and off the red carpet.

Thoughts on the latest from Ellery?

What do you think? Hot! Or Hmm..

It’s been almost two decades since Emporio Armani’s last Parisian runway show. Thus, this season felt as timely as ever—presented along with the major revamp of the label’s flagship on Boulevard Saint-Germain.

The line is the playful, younger sister to Armani’s main line and this season, the sibling had fun with an Indian-influenced inspiration. Elephants were strewn across bag straps and suit hems, while the models’ braids seemed the ideal hairstyle for globetrotting with polish and practicality.

Suiting had a moment in seersucker, solid navy for an office-perfect pairing, pachyderm-embroidered velvet, and a larger version of the trunk-toting animal that riffed closer to traditional Indian patterns.

There was a real easy, breezy, and pajama-like quality to a lot of the looks—admittedly the exact kind of ensembles you want while jetsetting. Especially to a balmy and incredibly hot place like India.

And loose and unconstrained sundresses were also on the menu: easily worn with sandals, sneakers, or sky-high heels.

The color palette was as rich as the wares, including Spring-perfect lavender, fiery red, classic navy, and verdant green.

Armani painted an exciting and inspiring scene that proved the icon continues to have the range: everything from barely-there bra tops to red carpet-ready embellished gowns made an appearance. It was a comeback with panache, thus we’re certain there will be many more shows in the City of Lights to come.
