It’s the U.S marketing Awards season again and this year the 50th Grammy Awards went all out to make sure that style ruled over substance. (Maybe a bit harsh, this years line up wasn’t as bad as some previous years.) “A salute to Fashion” within the show added extra glamour, glitz and shebang to the red carpet.

The pop star set got to exhibit there own labels with contributions from Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Sean Combs, Jay-Z and Jessica Simpson. The rest of the image conscious set went all out to attract attention there way with name brand designers draping or wrapping them in cloth.

Donning some beautiful, appalling and appealing wardrobe choices the first thing I noticed was the bright, bright colours and playful cuts. Sunglass demanding Yellow was Fergie’s choice, somehow I take her even less seriously now if that’s possible.

Blue was as in like lip synching a music video and Corinne Bailey Ray opted for sequins on royal blue, may look good on stage but not up close. A Blonde Nelly Furtardo also went blue sans shiny things, but wore it well in a flowing drape gown. Rihanna was a different kind of bold blue.

Alicia Keyes struck the heart chord in a deep, deep, dark blue gown.

Bai Ling went for an Irish casino kind of vibe, somehow it worked with the strong eye make up. On the Men’s side, looking smooth was John Legend in a tailored suit that sits like we all wish a classic style would.

Ode to an Italian Dress

DOlce and Gabbana Summer 08 PAINTED BLACK DRESS
All images from http://eng.dolcegabbana.it


Flamboyant and theatrical, Dolce and Gabbana’s Summer 2008 collection is indeed replete with works of art. From the hand-painted fabrics, the obsession with intricate embellishments and details to the matte velvet lips, D & G invoke a Keats-ian realm - instead of a Grecian urn, this is my ode to an Italian dress

Only a few posts ago I was bemoaning the lack Roland Mouret in my life after that galaxy dress (worn rather well by Demi Moore). But Style.com has informedme that he has returned, view their article here.

And here's my favourites of the aforementioned collection

After visiting the Victoria and Albert exhibition which travelled to the National Gallery in Canberra a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with Vivienne Westwood. It’s not just that she’s sixty and has a beautiful thirty-year-old Italian lover, although that does impress me, and it’s not just that she’s been an inspiration for generations of fashionistas, mostly it’s because for Westwood, fashion is thought

One of the most striking models of the contemporary brat pack is Jessica Stam, a statuesque Canadian who has the kind of natural physique required for catwalk shows. She is indeed long and slender but there is nothing painful about the proportions of her legs or the position of her clavicle. My general rule is that if the knee is wider than the thigh there’s a problem but Stam is in proportion as you can see from the Stella McCartney show.

After using Balenciaga as an example in my white shirt post I remembered what a stand-out collection Nicolas Ghesquière produced for Fall 2007 collection and I was reminded by our very own (why are we so patriotic when it comes to beautiful people) Gemma Ward wearing Balenciaga at Cannes.
