GOLDEN GLOBE 2011:RED CARPET FASHION.

Helena Bonham Carter warrants 'hit' status purely for brilliantly breaking the rules in bonkers fashion: the mismatched coloured shoes; the sunglasses; the fascinator, it all belongs to the school of a woman who dresses to please herself. An English eccentric at her best.

Despite what everyone might think about this gown by Nina Ricci, I think works and looks well on Halle Berry. It is obvious she has amazing body and legs to wear this gown. Go on Halle you are sure rocking this gown.

January Jones is such a beautiful woman that whatever she wear seems to be right. No wonder she is the face of Versace. I know it has been that this fringe gown she is wore by Versace is a miss. Well, I think she she looks radiant red gown. She definitely gets a thumbs up from me.

Where Is Our Favourite Guy, ANDRE BENJAMIN?

Seriously though, where's our favorite guy, Andre Benjamin,and his fantastically great collection of clothing?

Andrea In Classic Converse.

The cool thing about converse these days is that they come in so many different colors, styles, and materials, so its easy to straightforwardly dress them up or down. Now that you guys have proclaimed classic Chuck Taylors as your favorite, what’s your style/color preference?

ALICE BY TEMPERLEY S/S 2011

DESIGNER: Temperley London and Alice by Temperley 
The inspiration behind the collection was that of Medieval romance and a new take on Queen Guinevere 

TOP LOOKS: Curve-hugging white cocktail dress with lattice-like print and a gray gown with dramatic ruffles and cinched waist worn with a harness, both for Temperley; pink pleated pants and white puff-shoulder blouse with blue embroidery for Alice

ACCESSORIES: Thick and strappy brown and black pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood for Temperley London, large-brim hats in black and white by Victoria Grant, leather and metal harnesses (Temperley); little brown lace-up oxfords, studded belts with attached coin purses (Alice)

WHAT WE THOUGHT: Showing both her high-end namesake line, Temperley London, and her newish diffusion line, Alice by Temperley, Brit designer Alice Temperley called on larger-than-life European characters -- Queen Guinevere and Marie Antoinette -- and gave their wardrobes a modern twist.

The more worked and luxurious Temperley line featured gothic-tinged dresses and separates in tough leather, soft ruffles, and wildcat prints, all in dramatic silhouettes and paired with metal and leather harnesses. A hooded metallic dress reminiscent of chain mail took the King Arthur theme to its most literal.

More light and airy was the younger and more accessible Alice line, which was spun from Antoinette's taste for decadence and romance. Girly, cool-girl pieces included slouchy trousers, skirts, and overalls in white and pale pink, billowing hand-embroidered blouses and maxi-dresses, and classic toile du Jouy prints slapped on playsuits. Many of the looks were finished with adorable studded hip belts with attached coin purses that we want very badly.

Overall, both of Temperley's collections were extremely original and completely covetable.

Kick the New Year in Style with the eclectic  British design Alice by Temperley.

Jasper Garvida's SS11 Collection offers a lavender infused that captures  the visual taste buds with a vast variety of textures and embellishments. The collection are teamed with formal cuts of shirt designs, blazers and jackets. The outlook of every piece suggests pleasure and debauchery. And not forgetting how the piece flatters the feminine figure. The pieces takes you on a journey, owning the look and unexpected segments possessing a different surface, pattern or ornamentation. There is a child like innocence to this party dress collection which reminds me of’ playing grown ups’. Each garment blossoms as strict tailoring is transformed into glamorous and theatrical detailing that reflects an oriental influence.

HORACE

Horace, founded by Adam Entwisle and Emma Hales, made their London Fashion Week debut last season despite running the brand successfully for seven years. Focusing on ‘desert survivors’ the s/s collection, which features both menswear and womenswear, looks a little stifling at first glance – too many black layers and boots. It’s only after you envisage the nomadic tribes of the desert, swathed in layer upon layer against the harsh climate that you can appreciate the design duo have hit upon something unique for a s/s collection.


The tribal influence means the silhouette is tunic-like with draped scarves and voluminous hoods but a futuristic element makes the designs modern. 


 With design houses in both Bali and London, Horace has managed to blend handcrafted elements from the Far East with the grungy edge of our capital to great effect.


Horace will  be showing their Autumn/ Winter 2011 collection at London Fashion Week and they are the one watch. It is going to be a great show and I really look forward to it.
