Tempting Thursday

If your gonna drool...drool on designer. 
Fendi has broke ranks and joined the baby brigade.

Fendi is starting a children's line to be produced in partnership with Simonetta SpA. The new line for newborns to boys and girls up to 12 years old debuted at Pitti Immagine Bimbo in Florence and includes pale colors, floral prints, checks, and bucolic inspiration. 




Frank Sorbier's 2010/2011 Showing in Paris
Franck Sorbier proved that in couture, it's creativity and technical savoir faire,  not deep pockets, that really count. The Frenchman's fall-winter 2011 show in a tiny hall lent to him by Sotheby's auction house, was at the opposite end of the spectrum from the big-budget megaproductions put on by luxury houses. But the collection didn't suffer for it.

As Paris' three-day-long haute couture collections wind down Wednesday, Sorbier's show was a much-needed reminder that couture need not be smothered in sequins or dripping with rhinestones to be desirable.

Stimulation Saturday

I was absolutely ECSTATIC to see that Isabel Marant had arrived at Net A Porter. One of fashions best kept secrets, Isabel Marant's designs are fresh, loose, and an instant classic. Her strong-shouldered jackets are crafty with embellishments around the neckline. Pants came shiny and draped, or tight and striped with lacing at the ankles. And the cuffed pirate boot-sure to replace the long lean rocker boots of the past-are dripping with fringe and chains around the ankles. Every piece she designs is unique and one of a kind yet can be combined with other pieces that will be in style for years to come.

Isabel Marant is HERE to STAY.
