 Cascade Ruffle Perfection: Gucci Spring/Summer 2013

First up...Gucci by Frida Giannini Spring/Summer 2013:



Designer Frida Giannini conjured up the heydays of Roman Couture and Italian Contessas taking their Summer vacations in Capri, Sardinia and Positano with her FABULOUS collection for Spring/Summer 2013.

Marisa Berenson in Sardinia on a photoshoot

It was very Marella Agnelli of the FIAT Agnelli's and Marisa Berenson--as Style.com noted. Azalea pinks, florals, stark ivory's, chartreuse, pastel blue, and so on. It was PURE elegance. Clean, simple tunics, shapeless dresses, ruffles galore. STUNNING!!!!!!!



Some of my favorite looks:

Printed Beauties: Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2013

It was all about Sicily with Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2013 Collection--but then again, when is it not. Street-theater puppet prints on dresses, skirts, tops, you name it--they were there. Raffia was also used--yes, like the Lucy Ball potato sack dress fabric! Whether or not that makes it to the stores (and if any woman will buy) will be fun to see. The Italian design duo also did stripes (a big trend for Spring/Summer 2013) in tunics, tops, and dresses of course. And lace--a big Dolce & Gabbana staple, was also quite evident. Viva Sicilia.

Steppin' Out...

Perfect Couple: Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, 10th Annual ARK Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace

Last night, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge--Prince William and "Kate"--attended the 10th Annual ARK/Absolute Return For Kids Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace in London. Of course, what was on everyone's minds--at least we the Fashion Watchers--was what the newly-titled Duchess of Cambridge would be wearing. Well, kids, she did not disappoint.

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge wearing Jenny Packham to the 10th Annual ARK Gala Dinner at Kensington Palace

She wore a rose-colored silk tulle and Swarovski-crystal beaded high-neck gown with fluttery sleeve details, by British Designer Jenny Packham. Packham, in case you didn't know, is a graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art. Her designs are favored by many Red Carpet actresses (Sandra Bullock for example) and is a constant presence at the top Awards Shows.

The gown--which retails for 3,147 Euro (about $6300) is currently SOLD OUT in the UK (of course). Her side-bow detailed pumps were by LK Bennett (see close-up above of the shoe--and the rolled-up hem of her beaded gown).

Also in attendance were Elizabeth Hurley, who wore a light gray one-shoulder side-gathered gown by Italian Designer Roberto Cavalli. She looked AMAZING! The gown with that side-slit, hair and those platforms did look a bit "Miss Universe Evening Gown Competition" but well, as you guys know: I LOVE THAT!!

Prince Pavlos of Greece with his wife Princess Marie-Chantal Miller: Wearing what clearly was the color of the night.

English model Laura Bailey wore Valentino Spring 2011. You may remember her from way back in the day when she first became famous as actor Richard Gere's girlfriend.

British model Saffron Aldridge wore a beautiful "Mermaid"-shaped lemon-yellow gown with drop-shoulder sleeves. Interesting Family Side Note: Her half-sister is Victoria's Secret Model Lily Aldridge (who is married to Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill), and her half-brother is Miles Aldridge who is a fashion photographer married to Kristen McMenamy.

Wackiest Outfit Award goes to:
British actress Katrine Boorman, wearing this bright yellow get-up and flower-detailed hat. One word: Mess. Is she going to spend a week in Positano in this bright yellow cotton sun-dress? Or is she going to a Garden Party in West Hollywood? I don't think she even knows. And I haven't even begun on those shoes! Oh Katrine....

Worst Dressed Award goes to:
Sophie Dahl: When you are going to an event that you know Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge will be attending, don't you think you need to step it up a teeny-weeny bit? Would you like to greet William and Kate in this ensemble? Here's the answer: NOPE! Poor Sophie, she looks like a shop girl at my local H&M who is just about DONE with her 10-hour work day!!!

The Always Picture Perfect Award goes to:
Tom Ford: Seriously. Just look at him! That deep-purple velvet jacket of his (Tom Ford I assume?) is scissor-SHARP! The cummerbund (it's officially BACK!!!), the pants, the patent leather shoes and that perfect bow tie! Jesus, does this man EVER get it wrong?? I doubt it.

As Bianca may stay in our hearts forever, another Italian beauty is trying to leave her mark in the fashion industry: usually if your latest camnpaign shows up in Time Square means that you are doing it right.

Cześć kochani, wracam do Was z zaległą relacją, w grudniu miałam przyjemność uczestniczyć w kameralnym pokazie mody z okazji otwarcia nowego butiku mody ślubnej i wieczorowej  MN Bridal: Cloo w centrum Katowic. Wraz z P-Ivonią i Meri Wild podziwiałyśmy 3 pokazy włoskiego i hiszpańskiego krawiectwa, zasmakowałyśmy wybornej kuchni i posmakowałyśmy lekkiego rieslinga i szampana oraz rozbawiła nas pokaz barmańskich umiejętności pewnego duetu, którego zwieńczeniem było testowanie kolorowych drinków wedle uznania, ja uraczyłam się marakujowym mojito, pycha!

Imprezę prowadziła Miss Polonia 2011, Marcelina Zawadzka.
