Would You Wear… a Jeweled Headpiece?
Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kim Kardashian all wearing jeweled headpieces.
If there’s a single celebrity that is truly attempting to make a trend take place, that’s Nicole Richie. She’s continuously wearing jeweled headpieces on Style Star, around town, and on the red carpet. But these glittering cranium accessories have been spotted on several more stars, including Vanessa Hudgens, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, and Alicia Keys.
So what differentiates a headpiece from a headband? Usually, a headpiece has a line down the center of the head and it drapes around the sides. Jeweled and metallic tend to be the most common varieties, but I’ve also seen floral types.

Gaga & Giorgio Team Up Again for Some Fash Fabulousness on Tour
Believe “Giorgio Armani” and what most likely jumps to mind are these elegantly-draped suits in discreet, “old-funds” neutrals.
An apparent decision for Lady Gaga’s upcoming tour wardrobe.
Nonetheless, this seemingly-odd due has really been collaborating regularly considering that 2010 when Her Monsterness 1st rocked some custom creations by the maestro at the Grammy Awards & later that year for her Monster Ball tour.
And for this year’s *Born This Way Ball* tour (kicks off in Seoul on April 27th), he created a number of futuristic’y ensembles featuring extreme “architectural” silhouettes and hardcore materials like metal, PVC, vinyl, latex, plexi, spikes & studs – but crafted with couture savoir faire and accessorized with an “other-worldly” vibe. Highlights include “robotic” thigh-high boots, exaggerated gloves with mirrored nails, wonderful headpieces, a transparent plexiglass bodice with abstract Cubist guitars and even a garment lit from inside. “Collaborating with Lady Gaga is usually an exciting expertise for me,” says the designer. “Creating stage costumes for her is a stimulating and inventive exercise. I admire the way she utilizes fashion as a scenic element and as a means to build a character. She is an artist of several talents and excellent intelligence.”

A shadow of John Galliano at Paris Fashion Week A/W 2012
In his second season designing for John Galliano, Bill Gaytten fairly significantly stayed on message. It appears as if his process until a new maestro is announced is to just keep going on with John Galliano’s vision as properly as any individual other than Galliano himself can.
The collection had the beauty, the edge, the Victorian femininity mashed up with contemporary sexuality that we all loved about John Galliano’s designs … just somehow less so. It nonetheless feels like a less-inspired version of a thing else … a sanitized version of Galliano … no matter how close Gaytten gets it, proper down to the fantastical headpieces (this season completed in what we can assume to be real plumage).

Karen Elson and Sarah Sophie Flicker Play Dress-Up

Talk about the ultimate play-date: Sarah Sophie Flicker and Karen Elson brought their daughters to Anna Sui, where the dressed-up tots got to watch Lindsey Wixson stick out her tongue in the course of her walk down the runway from their side-by-side perch in the front row. Their mothers didn’t look too shabby, either—both arrived in practically matching black-and-white dresses accented with jeweled headpieces (courtesy of Erickson Beamon) and kewpie-doll eyelashes. Did Flicker and Elson coordinate their outfits? “We were lucky adequate to borrow stuff from Anna, so I suppose we did!” mentioned Flicker, adding with a laugh, “I consider when you’ve been greatest pals with somebody for long enough, you just morph into a similar individual. Which is lucky for me, and maybe not so lucky for her.”
The two have been spending plenty of time together lately, operating on a new “super-political” show for The Citizens Band that is, according to Flicker, “pro-voting, anti-apathy.” “If folks are silly adequate to think that the difference between a Republican and Obama is not a big difference, then they ought to listen to what Mitt Romney [was] saying about not caring for poor men and women, they ought to listen to Rick Santorum’s anti-gay rants. I mean, it’s insane, and we require to inspire everybody out to vote….don’t get me started on this topic, I could go on!”
Moving on to safer territory, we asked if there were any items in her wardrobe that had been off-limits to her daughter. “I think more than something, I’m happier with her playing in my stuff than, say, Barbie, or one thing like that. I say yes to old theater costumes, no to plastic as much as I can,” she explained. But that doesn’t mean that they listen: “When you first have a kid you think, ‘Oh, I’m never going to let them play with that stuff.’ And then you recognize that it’s inevitable and that they have to let their freak flag fly.” If ever there was a lesson on embracing individual style, it would be at Anna Sui, exactly where the models who walked the runway in velvet caftans and knitted owl hats received ebullient applause.
Why Should Dogs Get to Wear All the Cute Clothes? Introducing CatAtelier!
We currently know there are cat fashion bloggers so it follows of course that there would also be cat fashion designers.
A couple of days ago, a friend of mine (who certainly knows me genuinely nicely) linked me to an Etsy shop known as CatAtelier, which, naturally, sells a delightful assortment of very carefully crafted ties, neckpieces and hats for felines. Both the quality of these designs and the reality that this existed totally blew my thoughts and I had to know far more. So, I reached out to the obviously talented designer for an interview and she obliged. It turns out Julie Song went to Parsons and has a BFA in illustration as nicely as a quite obedient cat. Click by way of to see her wonderful designs and learn more about who she is, how and why she got into feline fashion style, and her plans to branch out into cat clothes!

An Alexander McQueen video that will take your breath away
There are fashion shows and then there are the fleeting masterpieces put on by the house of Alexander McQueen. The detail that goes into the latter puts them in a league of their own, a tradition stunningly carried on by Sarah Burton in the sad absence of McQueen himself. Backstage at the Alexander McQueen spring 2012 show every detail was masterfully attended to from the intricate lacework on headpieces to the cornrows that circled the models’ heads underneath. The correlation between hard work and a mind-blowing final product is certainly demonstrated by this beautifully shot backstage film by Sean Frank, but the busy hands and creative minds at work behind the scenes also serve to remind that craftsmanship is alive and well – as is the house of McQueen.
Matcho Suba’s wild mix
Fans of Project Runway’s Australian series might recognise these avant-garde pieces as belonging to Slovakian-born Matcho Suba. Suba’s secret ingredient to any collection is a little dash of shock value, be it in jingling bells strategically stitched into the bust of a sheer lace dress, or an unexpected mix of textures and styles.
This collection splices femininity with all things wild – fur pelts and antler-esque wooden headpieces catch the eye until it’s finally drawn to towering wooden geta-like shoes. An unconventional subject matter that’s a perfect marriage for the convention-breaking Peter Coulson, this shoot brings out the best features of Suba’s designs.
Mad Hatters on the loose!
Written by Sarah Mackenzie
With the year 2011 coming to a close soon, one thing that we have noticed looking back at this year’s fashion trends so far, is that 2011 has definitely been the year of the hat.
We all gasped at Princess Beatrice’s daring take on a Royal Wedding headpiece in April, and in September, we swooned over Caroline Charles’s boaters as they made their way down the runway at London Fashion Week. And more recently, we told you about the prestigious Christy’s hats debuting at Liberty’s, with a womanswear line soon to follow.
But no one seems to have gone slightly as mad as a hatter for this trend than Sex and the City alumni herself, Sarah Jessica Parker. Heck, she’s even putting Lady Gaga to shame!
