PANTY LINES R THE NEW BLURRED LINES

So much has been happening in Paris during Fashion Week.  Raf did a stellar Dior.  Schiaparelli announced their expected creative director, Marco Zannini.  Rumors suggest that Marc Jacobs final Vuitton show could be imminent.  However, the one thing I really wanted to attend was the opening of Azzedine Alaia's retrospective currently on display at Palais Galliera. 

I have spent many fun afternoons and evenings with Azzedine.  Once he cooked me lunch with guests including legendary ginger model Bettina and  Belgian beauty Hannelore Knuts.  We have had dinner with my French "mamas," too.  Every time, I always bring Azzedine a vintage piece for his collection.  Mostly from Claire McCardell.  In return, he usually gives me a unisex clutch and I complain that he doesn't make anything for men. 

When I return to Paris for the January Couture shows I will certainly attend this retrospective and do note it closes on 26 January.  You can always get your Alaia addiction on at Decades and this mock turtleneck viscose scuba dress with revealing net inserts at the hip, back, and arms is ready for you to blur some lines.  View more Alaia from Decades here.

DENIM - AN AMERICAN STORY

Denim has defined Americans from the invention in 1873 to this day. Whether unpretentious, over the top, comfortable or haute couture, denim is always reliable. Over the years, the love for denim took over Europeans and the rest of the world and it changed fashion for ever. As seen on runways all over the world to street style, denim is everywhere. If you want to be comfortable, denim is for you but if you want to be noticed than this is the jacket for you. Having Michael Jackson as a client and currently serving 175 years long jail sentence, the man behind this creation is as controversial as any conversation you will start while wearing this piece.

Smörgåsbord OF GERNREICH

I really wish Smörgåsbord wasn't a Swedish word as it perfectly describes the epic collection of Austrian-born, but LA-bred Rudi Gernreich's large collection.  This is a Smörgåsbord of Rudi from one owner that gives examples of so many of the iconic designs of Gernreich including

A-line shapes, color blocking, nutty knits, minis, men's wear, mixed patterns, school boy looks....etc.  The list goes on and on so give yourself a serving of our favorite dishes by Rudi Gernreich!
