Heather Marks – Covergirl for Vogue Spain 2010

Veronica Valter — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 06:59:56 +0000

January 2010 issue of Vogue Spain will hardly be appreciated by both PETA and vegetarians like Stella McCartney or Leona Lewis. The photoshoot that is included into the edition is entitled Negro, y de cuero [Black, Leather] and features plenty of leather outfits and accessories.

Heather Marks looks hot and stylish wearing leather creations by Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Versace, Michael Kors, Alexis Bittar, Blumarine, Balmain, Nina Ricci and other renowned designers.

Leather is one of the top trends for Fall-Winter 2009-2010 and probably this was the inspiration for the given chic shoot. Besides, nudity and lingerie as outwear are shown here. However, Heather is never nude on these pictures. There are just a few glimpses of flesh which looks very sexy rather than vulgar.

Photographer: Tesh.
Stylist: Laura Ferrara.

Chloe Accessories Fall-Winter 2009/10

Veronica Valter — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:45:43 +0000

Chloe collection of accessories for Fall-Winter 2009/2010 includes beautiful and versatile pieces which will long be fashionable.

Handbags are the most attractive in the range. They are made of leather, including trendy reptile one, and suede. Colors are all shades of brown, beige, grey and black. Bags come in a variety of sizes: from small pretty clutches to classic average-sized office-style items. There is a number of purses too, but they aren’t as nice as hanbags.

The shoe line isn’t very diverse. Wedged booties look good. As for suede sandals – I don’t like them at all.

The range also includes sunglasses and jewelry. Jewelry is exquisite and comes with a compamy logo. Sunglasses seem to me very similar to the ones in the previous line.

PFW: Roland Mouret Spring-Summer 2010

Veronica Valter — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:07:35 +0000

Roland Mouret’s Spring-Summer 2010 collection unveiled during Paris Fashion Week is more natural than the one for Fall-Winter 2009/2010.

Lots of mini-dresses, trousers of structural geometric forms, blouses with extremely low cuts and square fur sleeves – all looked good and surprisingly wearable.

Most outfits were obviously created for everyday wear, without too elaborated designs but still looking very pretty and unusual due to the designer’s eccentric view of a modern woman. However, there were a few perfect cocktail frocks and so much elegant little black dresses that would look fabulous at special events and parties.

The color pallette wasn’t too wide: luxury white, warm yellow and beige, all shades of blue, sparkling black, neon orange.

Accessory line was disticntive and unique. All those skillfully made necklaces covering nearly all the decollete zone, including ones with fur layer; fringed bracelets – two on right arms of models; ribbons tied around necks and waists of the girls – everything looked beautiful and innovative.

Ksubi sunglasses Fall-Winter 2009/2010 Collection

Veronica Valter — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:12:09 +0000

Sunglasses are not only a summer accessory.

They are worn in cities to protect eyes from sun, dust and exhaust. And celebrities seem to wear those everywhere and in all seasons to keep incognito and hide from paparazzi and annoying fans.

Ksubi sunglasses are diverse and often extraordinary.

They create a look of an intelligent and very confident person who knows what humour is.

The ad pictures you see here reflect the eccentric feel Ksubi eyewear give to the wearer.

But they do show that no matter what you carry on your head or wear as clothing sunglasses will be the first what other people notice looking at you.

Ksubi company was established in 2000 by a group of professional surfers . It first specialized on making denim clothes. However, shoe and sunglasses lines soon followed.

Gucci Bags Fall/Winter 2009/2010 Collection

Veronica Valter — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:21:36 +0000

In all times a handbag has been the most important women’s accessory.

We have lots of them, roomy and small, simple and equisite.

Each season designers invent new designs of handbags trying to capture our attention with new shapes and unusual colors.

Gucci is a clasic brand and Gucci bags have always been notable for their sophistication and fomal look.

These Fall 2009-Winter 2010 the bags are still classy but have new feel of modernity.

Reptile leather is a hot trend and lots of pieces come made of this chic material.

Besides, there are a few items made of fabric that has a Gucci logo on it.

Purses are big anough to hold money for a big purchase and clutches are beautiful, adorned with stones and sequins.

ZARA Fall-Winter 2009 Collection

Veronica Valter — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:56:55 +0000

Zara Fall-Winter 2009/2010 collection is very different from all couture ones we’ve seen recently.

It is simple and wearable. All the pieces are easily combined with each other and will become nice additions to any wardrobe.

Blouses are beautiful with no frills or any other detailing.

They can go well both with skirts and trousers. A blouse with peaked shoulders is the only one I don’t like. It looks odd.

I like jackets and coats much, especially those made of fur. They look chic.

Warm sweaters and cardigans are perfect for winter cold.

Just don one of those and nothing will make you feel uncomfortable in winter time.

Colors are all dark and subdued, that makes them wardobe staples – things you can wear now and in several years, and they still will be fashionable and stylish.

Bottega Veneta Sunglasses Fall/Winter 2009

Veronica Valter — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:43:00 +0000

We need sunglasses in all seasons and one more pair will never be the one we don’t want in our wardrobe, especially if it so chic and beautiful as eyewear from Bottega Veneta Fall-Winter 2010 collection.

The sunglasses come with titanium and natural horn accents, plastic lenses and acetate frames. Some are posh, while others are of a simplier design.

I like the pince-nez! It looks like a vintage piece.

Monsoon accessories ad campaign F/W 2009/2010

Veronica Valter — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:37:15 +0000

The weather has changed and it often rains now. Nearly all leaves fell down from trees and all we have is black-and-grey palette of the environment.

But we don’t want that, do we? We want the same liveliness and vibrancy we had in summer and early autumn. And we can create it with our own images, using attractive clothes and bright accessories.

Monsoon Accessories are just what we need, because they are so vivid, gaudy, catchy! Pink, fuhsia, yellow, blue, orange, trendy red, violet – all these hues make the scarves, belts, hats, gloves, necklaces and bracelets perfect for dull winter and rainy fall.

They look fresh and youghful, but what is more – they are so unusual that you can easily create your own unique look! I like the scarves and necklaces a lot! What would you add to your wardrobe?
