2NE1 - Try to follow me

What the f*ck did I just watch?? (part.2)
Actually I wanted to talk about this mv like ages ago, but I got sidetracked by the mess that was Lady Gaga's new videoclip over here.
Lady Gaga , you can learn one or two tricks from this one:
2NE1== Extreme fierceness!

Fashion wise
The girls of 2NE1 are just out there!!! While Lady Gaga and Rihanna wears a lot of creative stuff, most of it is custom made or just haute couture and I can only dream about it.
I think Park Bom  might be wearing an Alexander McQueen dress here but most of the time the girls from 2NE1  wear affordable clothes. Even if the probability that the item's sold out is very high, I still have my eyes set on the Star Wars cap that Sandara Park is wearing below
I now leave you with my favorites moments (images heavy, watch out!)


Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce - Telephone

Seriously what the f*ck did I just watch?
Hmm... I hope not.

Alexander McQueen final collection in Paris

Alexander McQueen's teams presented his last collection, yesterday. Composed of 16 looks, it was heavily inspired by the middle ages and the renaissance, with luxurious fabrics, religious themes and heavy patterns.
I think we can expect to see a lot of it, as people will rush to try and pay homage, and with only 16 looks, I hope that we'll soon see those dresses at some events.
I feel the whole coat paired to the high collar is a little too heavy, but a modified strapless gown would be a delight. Too bad it came after the Oscars.

Really simple but cute, I can see someone like Natalie Portman or Meryl Streep wear this.

Oscars 2010 - The looks at the after parties

Everyone showed up... From some A-Lister missing from the main event to some serious D-Listers ...

Some looks I liked
For once Kate Beckinsale is not wearing a A-line/mermaid dress so I knew I had to feature her!

Some looks I didn't like
Can someone tell me what the hell is she doing here?

Oscars 2010

As usual nobody tried something exciting except Zoe Saldana and Diane Kruger but I feel their effort didn't produce anything breathtaking.

In the case of Zoe Saldana I feel there is too much going on... I don't really like the tie-dye effect on dress, especially on occasions others than going to the beach. Just add the glittery bust and, wow it's just an overall mess.

I don't like the divisions on Diane Kruger's Chanel Couture dress... Plus the ruffles in the middle give an overall look of french cancan, not very appropriate for the Oscars...

My favorite looks

When editorials go wrong - After School for InStyle Korea

 
After School - in Burberry SS2010 - for InStyle March 2010
@allkpop
Overload of cuteness doesn't mean it is going to look good...

It's funny because the models during the fashion shows are, for me, the ones doing the worst job as ambassadors for the clothes.
It may be due to the fact that I'm not seated at the front row and the details don't translate well in the pictures or that the models could as well be replaced by cardboards and we would not see the difference, I don't know....

I usually have to wait till I see the collection on a real person ( ie. with a real body) or in a editorial to appreciate the clothes and see the collection from another perspective.

Unfortunately here, I feel the stylist did a bad job, because after seeing this editorial, I don't feel like seeing more of the collection .

I remember about how I gushed over the collection back in September and how I dreamed about owning the glitter trench after seeing Kate Hudson and Lee Da Hae's editorials ...
Now I kinda wish this editorial would just disappear. It ruined it for me.

G-Dragon in BCBG Max Azria FW2010

It's been a long time since my last fashion set but as soon as I saw this top, I had a feeling it would fit Mr. Fashionita number 1 aka G-Dragon so well, I just knew I had to open Photoshop and suffer to make a "fake" collage of a fashion set...
The BCBG Max Azria show took place on the second day of New York's Fashion week, so Friday, but I've been away this week-end so I could only work on it today. I hope you'll like it :)

R.I.P. Alexander McQueen

I couldn't believe it when I read this morning that Alexander McQueen commited suicide.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Alexander McQueen committed suicide. A source at McQueen's office confirmed the suicide, saying, "It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family." Details of his death have not been released yet. [...]
@The Cut 

I think I'm still in shock... When I think I was just browsing  his spring 2010 collection not so long ago after I saw Anna Paquin at the S.A.G.
To one of the most creative designer of the last decade... Rest in peace.

Katy Perry @ the Grammys 2010

Katy Perry in Zac Posen
Katy Perry gets her own post to highlight the fact that she really should have chosen a better support for her twins, and a better dress overall... When I think I featured her as someone to look forward to last year... It pains me.

Grammys 2010 - Yawn Yawn Yawn boring.

My parents were browsing through the channels for something to watch when they realized the Grammys were on. They decided to have a quick preview; the Black Eyed Peas were performing at this moment. After less than two minutes, they already had changed the channel to some a show talking about fishermen or what not... Anyway, something really boring.. The fisherman life seemed more interesting to them that the Grammys!

I was somewhat excited about the Grammys because singers have been known to take more fashion risks/ play more with fashion that their actors counterpart... This theory has been proved wrong at the Grammys where everybody showed up in long red carpet dresses. Even Rihanna!
I was saying in the post below that I couldn't wait to see if she would been able to top Lady Gaga in her Armani Prive custom dress and there she is, wearing this long feathery white gown.
 
Rihanna in Elie Saab Couture
It's a gorgeous gown but, don't forget, it's the Grammys we're talking about! Not the Oscars...

Lady Gaga @ The Grammys 2010

Lady Gaga in Armani Prive

I'm not fond of the wig but seriously, she killed it... I don't know how Rihanna will top this.

Always late : The SAG awards 2010 - the fashion recap

You probably already saw all the pictures but I still felt like doing a small recap...
I can start by saying that this redcarpet was way way better fashion wise than the Golden Globes... Even if, once again, no one really blew me away, the average was higher...

Now that I know how to use the read more functionality of blogger, beware!!!

Perfect Perfection





Sandra Bullock and Diane Kruger are my favorites again... I really loved the details on Sandra Bullock's Alexander McQueen's dress and even if mustard is my least favorite color ever you can't deny that Diane Kruger looks amazing in Jason Wu.

 
 
I didn't get a special love vibe either from Kate Hudson or Dianna Agron, but I really loved the design of the dresses and the updos they paired it with... You have to admit it that in the case of Kate Hudson, this is a huge step compared to her horrible Marchesa bridal dress from the Golden Globes.

Emma Watson for Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 campaign



I know it's an overload of Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 but I just stumbled upon those photos of the ad campaign featuring Emma Watson and her younger brother (in the suit)... The feeling is very different from the ads I remember with Kate Moss and Stella Tenant...
But afterall, we're in 2010...





What do you guys think?

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010

Well I've been reading all over the net about how the Burberry's collection was one of the best of the fashion weeks so far and after seeing Emma Watson's dress, I was curious to see what all the fuss was about.
I then had a quick look at the collection and I really like it. Burberry are mostly known for their trench and this collection was no different, with a lot of structured trenches but Christopher Bailey send some  really nicely draped and knotted clothes as well. See for yourself.

Emmy Awards 2009





It's been a while since I reviewed an award show. I wanted to do the VMA's but none of the red carpet celebrities impressed me. This event was no exception, but the dresses were really pretty and I found  that those two (Chloe Sevigny and Mila Kunis) standed out, mostly for the originality of the piece.
