Georges Hobeika Spring 2012 Couture
Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika presented his Spring 2012 Couture collection during Paris Fashion Week yesterday evening.
This season he seduced us with slender silhouettes which exuded femininity and sensuality with touches of creative flair such as bold shoulders and fan-pleated bodices.
The presentation started off powerful with 1 of my favourite looks from this collection: a t-shirt-style dress with a top embellished with beads and orchid appliqués and a luxurious skirt with shredded layers to give it a feather-like impact.

Balmain Spring 2012
It wasn’t only my first Balmain presentation; it was new head designer Olivier Rousteing’s too.
The (rather cute) designer didn’t take the Parisian fashion house too far away from its rock n’ roll roots for this Spring 2012 collection, much to the relief of Kate Moss, Rihanna and Alex Gerrard.
We saw plenty of gold-studded, fringed and embellished details on leather jackets, second-skin mini dresses, tops and short leather skirts.
These looks were presented on a colour palette of black, light-wash denim, ice white, silver and gold.

Frugal Fashion: Adele is a classic hit at the 2011 MTV VMAs
This year’s MTV Video Music Awards show was full of fashion surprises and tragic faux pas. Viewers had been treated to Lady Gaga’s male alter-ego “Joe” in a Brooks Brothers ensemble, Katy Perry in a Geisha-inspired Versace dress and Nicki Minaj sporting pink and yellow hair, a metallic body suit, leg warmers and fuzzy slippers. Our fashion critic Booth Moore described it best when she wrote “Nicki Minaj looked like a costume shop exploded all more than her.”

Rising far above the pack of outlandishly dressed video vixens of the night had been those dressed in classic styles such as mom-to-be Beyonce Knowles in Lanvin and British songstress Adele. The multi-platinum recording artist performed her new single “Someone Like You, in a black scalloped dress by Barbara Tfank and a side ponytail.
