There are only three designers whose couture work I really admire – Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier. Two of them no longer create due to the reasons you know, but one still keeps making those fantastic outfits that often leave us breathless. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection was wonderful. Inspired by and dedicated to Amy Winehouse it consisted of pieces which were feminine and colorful in Amy’s style and extravagant and chic in Gaultier’s way.

Models with beehives, beauty spots on their faces and dramatic eye makeup walked down the runway in dresses of the fifties era, tiny corsets and bodysuits, glitzy pencil skirts and simple shirts, stylish suits and sheer tunics.

PVC leggings, blazers which exposed bras and a lot of flesh, and dresses baring backs were showcased along with demure frocks, well-tailored coats and high-waisted pants in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s accessories were amazing. Luxurious veils adorned with embroidery, fringe and lace, wide cuffs in a variety of styles, headwear with huge flowers decorating it, exquisite earrings and cute necklaces, foldover and clutch bags – all made Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection even more complete.

Amy Winehouse is often called a style icon of a kind. She is known for her love to Freddy Perry label, so it’s quite clear that Amy felt very excited when she was suggested designing a range in 50s style.

On the photos to promote her line for Freddy Perry Amy looks fresh and stylish wearing simple but elegant pieces. The collection includes only 17 items, both apparel and accessories. Retailing between £22 and £100, the clothes will be sold at Fred Perry stores and some concessions.

Amy confessed she felt very happy when Fred Perry representatives offered her the job:

I knew exactly what I wanted, and I love Fred Perry so much. I was honoured that they would even, like, ‘Do you want to come and do a line?’ Me, like, me?”

However, when she heard people called her a fashion icon she laughed sincerely and said she dressed like ‘an old Jewish black man.’

Let’s begin duscussing my 10 Top Unstylish Celebrities list:

#10. Katie Holmes. She thinks she looks stylish all the time. And she always talks about fashion and her young fashion genius Suri. However, here I am saying she isn’t fashionable and she can’t combine clothes. I remember just a few occasions where Katy looked good.

#9. Cameron Diaz. She is a fantastic actress but fashion is obviously not her strong point. Her dresses are often shapeless and hide the figure everyone wants to see. Cameron’s everyday style is even worse.

#8. Kristen Stewart. I love The Twilight saga and Kristen acting in it. But it seems that acting is the only thing I like about this girl. Her fashion choices are in 99% of cases fail to impress.

#7. Mischa Barton is a girl more famous for her weight fluctuations rather than style. She just can’t look good even in the best dress in the world. There is always something wrong about her look: attire, shoes, jewelry, headband, etc.

#6. Britney Spears. I used to be a fan of Britney when I was younger. I thought she was the most gifted and fashionable girl. And now I’m grown up and see that Britney isn’t that scrupulous about clothing she wears. Probably this is her family drama or something else that influenced her, but she is #6 on my list and she deserves that.

#5. Jessica Simpson. When Jess was slimmer she looked good. Now with her new curves she doesn’t. The problem is that Jessica still believes she is slim and opts for garments that hug her body too tight. Somebody, tell her to look in the mirror!

#4. Lindsay Lohan. I know I might be too cruel to include Lindsay into the list of the unstylish celebrities in this very period but it would be unfair to other women if I missed her here. Lindsay Lohan designs interesting leggings and some of her dresses look nice but when she gets dressed she forgets everything she knows about fitting and designs.

#3. Peaches Geldof. She looks bad nearly all the time and I was very surprised when Miss Ultimo invited her to represent their teenage line. She chooses unflattering baggy dresses, too short hotpants, disgusting swimwear… Well, she is #3.

#2. Amy Winehouse. I can’t deny Amy is special and some extremes are a norm for her. But wearing the same pink flats everywhere for… oh, I don’t even know how long, it is too much. Doesn’t she have money to buy footwear? And clothing Amy Winehouse prefers to wear doesn’t flatter her at all.

#1. Courtney Love – celebrity who thinks she is very good in bed but unattractive in appearance. This woman wears everything that doesn’t look good on her. I have never seen Courtney in a beautiful outfit. So, she is the winner, the top unstylish woman in the world!!!

Of course, this is just my opinion but I do have the right to express it unless it doesn’t hurt anyone. So, what can you say about these celebrities? Do you agree with me they are the least stylish? Any other stars to add?

Now Amy seems to be returning to normal life and her involvement into fashion has been resumed. First rumours appeared a few months ago that the singer was working on a fashion line with the British label Fred Perry. And today the gossip has been confirmed by WWD telling that the upcoming range will include 17 pieces, each developped by Winehouse and the designer team.

The line will feature ‘preppy gingham prints in a palette of pink and black, pencil skirts, girly twinsets, and polo shirts with popped collars’.

According to a Fred Perry spokesperson, the star attended all of three design meetings “where she was closely involved in product style selection and the application of fabric, color and styling details.”

The collection will become available in stores this October.

Amy’s sung for the fashion crowd at a Fendi party at Paris Fashion Week and almost made the Preen Power dress famous when she rocked it on the red carpet in London.

And now she is colloborating with PPQ, the popular London label. Earlier the star who designed for PPQ was Peaches Geldof with her capsule collection.

PPQ designer Amy Molyneaux told Grazia:

There have been talks with Amy and we are now in the first stages of the project. The range will be all about high end statement pieces, inspired by Amy’s style. For example maybe an amazing piece of jewellery like a bracelet or a dress. It’s going to be distributed online, we are going to be providing all materials and doing the design, but Amy will definitely be involved in the creative process.

“It will be very different to Peaches’ line for PPQ as that was more of a diffusion line – this will be a homage to Amy’s look.”

And as with all celebs lines, Amy Winehouse isn’t nominally designing this range, but it’s well of Molyneaux to be up-front about that.

The singer is staying at St. Lucia and recording her third album. This is what Lisa Armstrong wrote a year ago about Winehouse:

Somehow the fashion industry has got it into its head that what’s really missing from every stylish woman’s life is an accessory that will make her look like someone whose next must-have is an intravenous drip.

I hope Amy will come back and stop her problems.

The songtress often wears the label’s trade-mark polo shirts and a source told the Sun that she couldn’t help talking about the possible deal while she is on holiday in St Lucia.

The spectator explained: “She was almost childishly excited and couldn’t stop talking about it.”

“She is looking better and doesn’t seem to be drinking that much.”

A spokesperson for Fred Perry declined to comment.

Terry De Havilland Wedges

Seventies

Terry de Havilland – a rock’n'roll cobbler who created footwear for celebrities such as Bianca Jagger, Britt Ekland and David and Angie Bowie designed the most wonderful Seventies platforms.

Terry de Havilland came from a shoe-making family. Once he said:

I’d be surprised if I’d got into this business if my dad hadn’t been in it. I grew up watching shoes being made.’

His first shop on the King’s Road, named Cobblers To The World, became a place often visited by rock stars and celebrities who could buy wedge shoes with ankle straps in peach, yellow, pistachio and blue snakeskin, and thigh-high, satin-lined black leather boots.

Soon after Miu Miu had showed a collection of wedge designs very similar to his originals, de Hevilland restarted his own-name brand and created a new series of wedge shoes for Frost-French’s lingerie-inspired catwalk collection. The shoes stole the show and de Havilland transfixed a new generation.

Now, many celebrities wear modern versions of his original designs. For instance, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss or Amy Winehouse.

Your collection will seem incomplete if you have no wedges of the seventies. They are nice to look at and comfortable to wear.

Manolo Blahnik cone heels

Eighties

The cone heel was invented by designer Maud Frizon for combining height with comfort in a way the stiletto did not. It was for the woman who wanted to show she was glamorous, but would not stand for being messed around.

This heel type was very typical for that decade. Business and power had to be together. Blahnik captured the imagination of the era – most of his styles sold out as soon as they were launched.

He had many famous fans including Jerry Hall, who wore her dramatic Antony Price gowns with Blahnik’s black suede heels.

Blahnik cemented his status in TV’s Sex And The City when fashion fanatic Carrie Bradshaw was mugged and famously pleaded:

Please, sir. You can take my Fendi Baguette, you can take my ring and watch, but don’t take my Manolo Blahniks.’

Good reason for adding them into your collection is their practicality, glamour and the spirit of the age.

Christian Louboutin very prive

Still in production

Christian Louboutin is the shoe designer of our times and his footwear stands out from the crowd, because of the famous bright red soles and good quality. His shoes are painstakingly designed and beautifully made.
The idea of red soles occurred to the designer when he was working on a collection influenced by Andy Warhol and his use of bright, highly saturated colours.

After the model was designed, Louboutin felt something was missing and noticed one of the assistants painting her nails with bright red enamel.

He took the bottle and painted the soles of the shoes with the gloss so that although some of the shoes looked simple on the outside, once a woman was walking they gave a flirtatious flash.

This became his trademark and is the only form of advertising Louboutin has ever done.

Louboutin nominated the Very Prive as one of his favourite designs, explaining his love of very high heels:

My long-time love of the French showgirl and stage performers means I design a lot of very high heels that lengthen the leg.

People ask me, How can I walk in these heels?” and I answer with the best compliment I remember from a woman who lives in Paris.

She said:

“Since I wore your heels, Christian, I know Paris. Heels permit me to take the time to look at things.”

High heels give you time to think, to look at your surroundings – and they permit men to stop you. Women should live to the rhythm of high-heeled shoes!’

You should definitely own these shoes! Louboutin shoes aren’t produced for mass consumption and will certainly be a good piece in your collection. They are sexy and women wearing them are instantly recognizable.

Celebrities are also preparing for Halloween and some of them have already had great Halloween parties.

There’ll be no last minute costume panic for Sean “P Diddy” Combs, who has told that he will be rabid on the dance floors of the luminariest celebrations dressed as the Pope.

Also Sean “P Diddy” having just spent a rumoured $20 million adding sports outfit label Enyce to his fashion collection – has saved some bucks  while putting the look together.

I bought the costume, the robe and the hat from a second-hand costume store in Los Angeles,” Diddy tells.

Rising Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez revealed she’s dressing up as June Carter Cash this Halloween.

Me and my best friend Demi Lovato have a tradition [of trick-or-treating] that we’ve been doing ever since I can remember. We actually wear masks so it’s so funny because people don’t even know we’re walking by them,” the teen star said in her interview for OK! magazine.

Cindy Crawford was a scary Amy Winehouse, Sacha Baron Cohen dressed up as a cow, other stars wore America’s stripes and stripped to bikini-clad costumes in the lead up to Halloween at Kate Hudson’s place for her Halloween party in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Courteney Cox wore a witch costume.

Gwen Stefani partied at a distinct LA bash dressed as a fried egg.

I love Halloween! It’s so funny!

Cropped leather jackets

Biker vibe is in the air this autumn. Cropped jackets top the trend list. They look great with leather skirts, pencil skirts, skinny-legged pants or just voluminous skirts, floral print or neutral dresses. Add skyscraper heels, patent wedges, scarves, hats, and edgy accessories to complete your new city girl image.

As for top trend accessories this season, they are studs, spikes and chains. You can find them anywhere this fall, from purses to belts and ankle boots.

Cropped jackets come in plaid as well. This way you can create a more sophisticated country-girl look. Again, accessories and suitable top trend clothes are essential.

The great thing about cropped jackets this fall is that they are different and suit all age groups. And thanks to celebrities like Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Amy Winehouse, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham this trend is hotter than ever.

Military Coats

Military is another top trend. Styles borrowed from Russian officer uniformed coats and jackets, Russia tsar-inspired accessories like brass buttons and shoulder epaulettes make the front fashion line. Cossack-style coats, shaggy fur hats and military caps are what you need this fall to look super hot and incredibly stylish.

In cases this kind of fashion experiments in not your type, you can turn to more traditional military look, like khaki coats, for instance.

You can pair your new military outerwear with a mini dress or a voluminous skirt.

Plaids and tartans

Plaid coats are big in thing this fall. Add a pair of trendy rubber boots or stylish motorcycle boots, wear them with outfits with floral prints, and mismatch tweeds and plaids together for an edgy and tremendous style.

Cocoon coats

Cinched-waist coats are a thing of the past. Designers including Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez create cocoon-like shapes. Pairing such a coat with stockings, boots, heels, or wedges makes your legs seem long and lean.

Cashmere coats

It’s neo-’50s style. Elegant and sweet, cashmere coats make a comeback this autumn and winter. Designers like Peter Som, Michael Kors, and Diane von Furstenberg advise having your new cashmere coat in the palest of pastels.

Indian chic

Pocahontas-and-the-like-inspired motives and patterns are also top fashion. You can find them in outerwear, dresses, waists, and skirts. Pair your new coat with tall cuffed, slouch, or motorcycle boots.
