                      <title><![CDATA[PFW: Breezy '70s separates at Chloe]]></title>
                      <description><![CDATA[Chloé The ’70s inspired collection included an awful lot of beige, which felt a little overwhelming after having seen the colour in practically every other collection this week. Hannah MacGibbon did kind of usher in the colour as a trend, though, (along with the current obsession for '70s silhouettes) so it would only make sense that she would own it now. She began the show with a series of polished, yet easy office-perfect pieces that had a decidedly soft feminine touch: A pretty satin blouse with tailored wide-leg trousers, for instance, or a simple, chic, A-line dress with a v-neck. From there, she segued into more casual wear with a harder edge including a leather crewneck long sleeve shirt with matching trousers and a series of retro, slightly western pieces with fringe at the seams. But her many camel- and oatmeal-coloured pieces were the true standouts of the show. Expect to see a ton of knockoffs at Zara come next autumn. Chloe]]></description>

                      <description><![CDATA[Laetitia Casta Karolina Kurkova Noemie Lenoir Elle MacPherson Always a directional force, Marc Jacobs’ autumn clothes were the polar opposite of the urban magpies he showed for spring. Titled “And God Created Woman,” the Louis Vuitton collection was like an old love poem, celebrating femininity with romantic, 1950s-style corseted and full-skirted looks that revealed heaving cleavage and a respectable amount of leg. A massive, dramatic fountain, which the models walked around, added to the feeling of a bygone era in the air. Outside of all the beautifully crafted wool, tweed and cloqué skirts (some of which had undulating folds in the back), much of the show’s fun came with Jacobs’ choice in models. Many of them were older model favourites such as Laetitia Casta and Elle MacPherson (because the new, young girls surely wouldn’t be able to fill out those corsets.) And most of them were curvy, by fashion’s standards. For once, it was nice to see arms with a little flesh on their bones.]]></description>

                      <description><![CDATA[While this year’s Academy Awards was a night of historic moments — who knew that it would take 82 years for a woman to win best director? — the red carpet looks were not all that groundbreaking. There was no swan dress a la Björk to push the envelope and entertain us. Overall, it felt like everyone played it relatively safe and pretty. We look at the bright spots (and dull ones). Jennifer Lopez Why it worked: Her Giorgio Armani Privé gown looks like the perfect extension of her; the ruffled number is feisty, glamorous and accentuates all those curves she’s famous for. Mariah Carey Why it’s all wrong: Don’t blame the Valentino Haute Couture dress. Something is off in the undergarment department. It looks like her cleavage is trying to eat her chin. Cameron Diaz Why it worked: You can always rely on Diaz for a good red carpet look, but she rarely takes the full-on blonde bombshell route. She should do it more often. The crimson lipstick and gold paillette-embellished Oscar de la Renta dress looks fun and glamorous. Demi Moore Why it worked: What gym is she going to and wear where can we find it? On anyone else, this Atelier Versace gown would look…eh, frilly and boring. But on Moore’s body it looks pretty spectacular, like molten gold, only blush-coloured. Maggie Gyllenhaal Why it worked: Gyllenhaal always breaks out the interesting red carpet choices. Dries Van Noten made this graphic print gown specifically for Gyllenhaal for Oscar night. It fits her perfectly. Plus, it was nice to see some colour among all those pale dresses. Amanda Seyfried Why it’s all wrong: She’s a beautiful girl, but the pale colour of this Giorgio Armani Privé gown washes her out and makes her look ghostly. Zoe Saldana Why it worked: Even though she’s wearing a very serious fashion label, Givenchy Haute Couture, the dress looks light and fun with its varying textures and shades of purple. Charlize Theron Why it’s all wrong: Because it looks like her Dior haute couture gown is attacking her bosom. The two-tone satin also looks dated.]]></description>

                      <title><![CDATA[PFW: Dries Van Noten and the workwear dilemma]]></title>
                      <description><![CDATA[Dries Van Noten Dries Van Noten Dries Van Noten Against an opulent salon in Paris’ storied Hotel de Ville (the city hall),&nbsp; Dries Van Noten showed a collection that married seemingly contradicting ideas: unfussy function and glamour, trendy military dressing and classic sportswear. It was polished and yet, a little messy and unaffected. Easy sweatshirts came paired with full, polished graphic printed skirts, while army green trousers were dressed up with impeccably tailored jackets and fur scarves. This is the collection for today’s working girls who are in search of career-boosting day wear that doesn’t read old, sacrifice fashion or appear to be trying too hard. It’s a problem that many of my law school and business school graduate girlfriends have been talking about as they try to rethink their wardrobes to match their bigger jobs and evolving lifestyles. (So Amy, Tola, Panya, and Rosa take note. Ha.) The other beautiful thing about Dries’ clothes was that the ideas he showed can easily be interpreted with the pieces in your existing wardrobe. Just because you don’t have the budget to spring for a Van Noten piece doesn’t mean you can’t work the look.]]></description>

                      <description><![CDATA[Lanvin Blanche Have I mentioned how horribly wedding planning and fashion month travel go together? In the wee hours of the night, after I’ve filed my runway coverage, reviewed the catwalk images, replied to work-related emails, and settled into my hotel bed, I’ve found myself back online, emailing with the wedding coordinator, mom and caterer about florists, head counts, and whatnot. Argh. I’ve already sorted out my dress for the big day (more about that later). But looking at Net-a-Porter’s redesigned wedding boutique makes me want to go through the dress-hunting process all over again. The e-commerce home of all-things-I-don’t-need-to-be-spending-money-on just majorly stepped up its bridal salon, adding a lot more wardrobe choices including the new Lanvin Blanche collection and a nice selection of vintage. It has got plenty for the non-traditional, fashion-loving, bride-to-be to choose from at a variety of price points. Here are some of my favourites. 3.1 Phillip Lim One Vintage]]></description>
