RAD::

Rad Hourani S/S 2010.

this asexual collection, was typically Rad, and mostly black (which i love. i could wear all black every day if it didn't depress the people around me so much).

Rad came in with slashes of silver throughout and a splash of white was seen in crisp vests, right shorts and blazers.

:: i love his new take on his classic sliced leggings- the touch of silver really , the detail is truly beautiful. Rad's clothes are what i would ideally like to wear all year round (fall all year round, love.)

invites ::

once ignored, fashion bloggers have been embraced by the fashion world and in turn invited by some of the worlds top designers to sit front row at their shows, clearly evident at the recent D&G show in Milan.

Bryan Boy, Tommy Ton and a host of other note-worthy commentators were set up with laptops front and center- blogging and twittering at warp speed.

I AM SITTING FRONT ROW AT DOLCE & GABBANA RIGHT NOW SITTING NEXT TO HAMISH BOWLES AND BRANA WOLF, ONE SEAT AWAY ON EACH SIDE FROM GLENDA BAILEY AND ANNA WINTOUR. A SEASON AGO I HAD TO WAIT PATIENTLY OUTSIDE FOR ARRIVALS AND EXITS AND NOW I’M SITTING HERE. WHAT A LITTLE TWISTED WORLD THE FASHION WORLD IS????????"

:: blogalista Rumi of Fashion Toast was e-mailing back and forth with Esteban Cortezar of Emanuel Ungaro, all due to the attention her blog brings, when he invited her to the shows in Paris.... fingers crossed, one day that could be me- Rad Hourani, here i am.

D.R. ::

Doo. Ri's S/S 2010 collection managed to be hard and soft at the same time in a collection reminiscent of concrete, metals and glass. Doo Ri Chung's ethereal edginess was brought forward through crisp whites, deep greys and intense blues throughout her collection of bubble dresses, cami's skirts and shorts, all pieces shorter and smaller than her norm.

:: the styling was perfection, messy tousled hair, dead-blue lips, and intricate wire neck pieces (can't even cal them necklaces, they seemed to float around the entire upper chest).
