Lanvin’s new Spring/Summer campaign (or snakes at a dinner party)

Posted on by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Lanvin’s new Spring Summer 2012 campaign conjures nostalgic images of university days spent listening to hardcore house music, drinking and dancing followed by an after-party at someone’s house, with people you just met – or have never met.

Only with much better clothes.

And snakes. Obv-iously.

Or maybe they’re just bringing the robot back…

See for yourself and decide.

Golden Globes 2012: Style winners and frock horrors

Posted on by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Ff is loving…

ANGELINA JOLIE in ATELIER VERSACE
Simple, elegant, statuesque in the word’s simplest sense. Ff wouldn’t usually go for a fitted white satin number, but something about the turned over neckline (making the dress reminiscent of a calla lily) and the red lips and alabaster skin make this a winner.

White Versace… tres jolie

MILA KUNIS in DIOR (naturellement)

Dramatic, and oh-so-simple, in this black chiffon gown Mila makes walking the red carpet look effortless. Which it just might be when you’re the new face of Dior and you have one of the world’s best couture houses at your disposal…

Still, she pulls this one-shouldered number off with nonchalant aplomb.

CLAIRE DANES in J.MENDEL

Pre-fall 2012 collection, custom-made from the original catwalk version which was shorter – this elegant column has a stunning jewelled back.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD in GUCCI

Feathers + sequins + paillettes + peacock tones and oil-slick shine = Golden Globes fabulousness. This dress is everything an awards dress should be.

And the ones Ff is not loving…

CHARLIZE THERON in DIOR COUTURE*

Mulletty bridesmaid dress that manages to be fussy and dull at the same time. No mean feat…

*CT’s place at the top of the worst dressed list is in no way linked to CT’s rudeness to Ff at the Dior Couture fashion show last season. Honest.

NATALIE PORTMAN in LANVIN

Nats, Helen Mirren called, she wants her dress back… This kind of fabric better suits someone older than Natalie. The concept is so similar to the Atelier Versace dress Angelina Jolie wore – but this one misses the mark.

Tweets about Natalie’s dress go along the lines of… ‘Is that Angelina Jolie’s dress inside out?’; ‘did Natalie Portman forget to take the hanger out of her dress?’; ‘Is Natalie Portman carrying her baby in a sling under that dress?’; ‘Natalie Portman looks like she’s wearing a dress made during the curtain challenge in Rupal’s Drag Race.’ Nuff said.

Fine from the top up… elsewhere, too much silk, too asymmetric

Alber Elbaz created this glittering gift wrap for his Claridge's Christmas tree... Wonder what was inside?

We’re cribbing wrapping ideas from Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz, who decked his pressies out in glittering gold star paper bundled up in broad jewel-toned ribbons. Shine on.
