BALENCIAGA

Wanting to the look to appear slightly futuristic, Guido created a sophisticated look at Balenciaga to compliment, not compete with the clothes. “Balenciaga design house is very forward thinking and great to work with, which allows me to create a vision for the hair that compliments the clothing.” – Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

STRAIGHT FROM PARIS: I would love one day to attend the CHANEL Haute Couture presentation in Paris. Meanwhile all I can do is admire from the distance. I have selected some of my favorites looks from the CHANEL collection to give you a sneak peek. BTW I love the hairstyle and the true coral lips seen on the runway models. The hairstyle? It’s a cross between Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty. Better yet, I see an Asian influence, an Asian Doll perhaps, or the glamour of Shanghai. The fingerless gloves are so Karl Lagerfeld. The silver shoes add a bit of  a space-age element making the whole look very intriguing. And finally, can the skort (skirt plus shorts) make a comeback?

Which CHANEL Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2010 look is your favorite?

ASSOULINE Announces the Release of PIERRE CARDIN: 60 YEARS OF INNOVATION By Jean-Pascal Hesse.

“Geometric motifs, asymmetry, oversized buttons and collars, hooped dresses, vinyl inserts-Cardin is an original in every sense of the word.”

ASSOULINE is delighted to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the Masion Cardin, with the publication of a commemorative retrospective of the work of its founder, fashion designer Pierre Cardin.

Born in 1922 in San Biagio di Callalta, near Venice, Pierre Cardin immigrated to Paris in 1924. After working briefly with Elsa Schiaparelli, Cardin joined Dior in 1946 and opened his own couture house in 1950. He was a pioneer from the start, creating a design-based, architectural fashion with a futurist sensibility. Cardin also had an avant-garde understanding of fashion’s relationship to new audiences, presenting his collections to large crowds. He was the first to demonstrate that fashion can be both a creative process and a business-and that one man can excel as both a businessman and an artist.
