And the newest images from ad campaign by Givenchy Fall/Winter 2009 were released!

This interesting view was made by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in a room at Chateau de Ferrieres, Mariacarla Boscono, Leonor Scherrer, Iris Strubegger, Ranya Mordanova and Adriana Lima were invited.

For nine seasons they collaborated with photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

The ad campaign is fierce, chic and incredible. The main colors are dark blue, black, brown and pastels and it seems to me a bit gothic.

30-year-old Big Love actress Ginnifer Goodwin covers W Magazine June 2009.

The article titled Not So Goodwin. In hot photoshoot pose two sexy boys and Ginnifer.

She talks about:

Perpetuating her own tabloid rumors:

I perpetuate rumors that I’ve dated people that I’ve never actually dated. Dorothy Parker once said something along the lines of, ‘I don’t care what’s written about me so long as it isn’t true.’ It’s safe making.”

Breaking up with boyfriend of several years, actor Chris Klein:

I’m a better person in a relationship, and I’m a happier person. I need to come home at the end of the day and have it not be about me and my freaking hair and makeup and character motivations anymore. And I think my work is more inspired when home is safe and sound and solid because what I do for a living is so bananas and so insecure.”

Being forced to give dating advice when she was promoting He’s Just Not That Into You:

I don’t know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.”

Actors giving romance advice:

I don’t know why anyone would want to ask an actor for dating advice. We are not the poster children for healthy relationships.”

We have seen plenty of open-toed ankle boots and knee-high boots on the runways for this season. They are becoming more and more popular but sometimes we feel unsure of what to wear with them as it’s often much colder outside than at the catwalks.

These short dresses have been presented in many collections by famous designers, such as Rodarte, Herve Leger, Thakoon, Givenchy and others.

And they surely deserve our attention as they look stylish and womanly despite the fact Narciso Rodriguez confessed his inspiration for the creation of such dresses were chains and lashes – as a result aggressiveness turned into femininity.

Bandage-dresses are not new to us as last year we saw some in designers’ lines but this season they are much nicer and more tailored.

I especially like dresses by Herve Leger. They have something from punk-style but at the same time they are so nice-looking and sexy!

Such a dress can easily be accessorized with various pieces and depending on the style of those it will look differently.

For instance, when worn with classic shoes and sophisticated jewelry a bandage dress will look fabulous even on the red.

But if you choose massive jewelry and gladiator boots the whole image will change and you can got to a party of punk-rock-music lovers.

So, everything depends on you and your imagination. Create your own look, make a stand out!

Lace is a fabric that makes women look very feminine and sophisticated. And for those who like it I have good news – it is no longer strictly for eveningwear. You can wear it daily and to work.

The fall catwalks were rich in lace, from Milan, Paris, London and New York. Lace is popular in all shapes and forms, from lace-covered purses and shoes, to lace dresses, skirts and even coats.

As it’s said in the Daily Mail’s article

You probably have to live in a sewer not to know that lace is a crucial story this season.”

Of course, it is slight exaggeration but somehow it is true as we have seen plenty of lace in collections by Prada, Balmain, Derek Lam, Peter Som, Roberto Cavalli, Givenchy, Valentino, Versace and many others.

Autumn with its rains and chilly winds is already here and we strive to look nice and trendy despite all those weather conditions.

It is not easy but if we mix and experiment a lot we’ll certainly succeed.

Leather items

Leather items are the trendiest things and the favourites of this season but they are those which have to compile every woman’s wardrobe as well as clothes made of denim.

Nowadays leather is produced to be light, thin and plastic, it can be dyed any colour, ornamented with any décor.

Givenchy Fall 2008

Therewith, it doesn’t absorb moisture and is used by designers for creating various clothing – from erotic corsets to coats. Leather jackets, coats, belts can be a perfect choice for fall.

As we always say, accessories matter and they complete the look. Well balanced details make any look exclusive and original.

Belts are one of the main accessories when you want to add a touch of new color to your one-color outfit or if you’ve shed weight and your wonderful new vintage dress seems too large for you. Generally belts are good for almost any attire you’re wearing.

There’s a wide range of belts to choose from these days. Any color, any form, any texture – wide belts, waist belts, narrow belts, fancy leather belts, bright patent leather belts, embroidered belts – they can help you stress you beautiful shape or hide your problematic areas.

Designers pick these main belt tendencies for this fall and winter 2008-2009.

Folk and Fringes

Folk art has greatly influenced this season’s accessories. Fringes become one of the leading tendencies. Designers took their inspiration in national costumes embedding original ornaments, colors and patterns into this season’s must-have accessory – belts.

One of the most original folk style belts is probably the one in the form of a rope ending in cute fringes, like that presented by Hermes.

Double it!

This trend has been originally presented in men’s collections but soon stepped onto women’s collection catwalks. The trend originates from summer tendency for dual nature and layering that was presented in everything from dresses to accessories.

This fall and winter the number of belts is crucial. Designers stick to use two or three belts – they may be of the same texture and style but can at the same time be totally different and visibly incompatible. But don’t let it lead you astray.

A rhinestone-buckled cincher makes an eclectic match with a earthtoned leather style for one truly unique accessory.

Designers like Peter Som put absolutely different styles together making it something brand new and exclusive. Trussardi sees the dual nature in another way. Due to having a longer belt one can wrap it round the waist and thus create the layer effect. Ferragamo presents triple design of the belt combining different metallic shades of hue.

Thin waist

Femininity and retro style are hugely popular this season meaning that wasp waist is one of the main attractions this autumn and winter. We’re thinking corset belts and wrestler’s belts. So one of the things to be amazed at this fall is how thin your waist can look in these belts.

You can wear these designs over voluminous attire and even outerwear. There is one thing you mustn’t forget – it must be comfortable to breathe, so don’t try too hard to tighten the belt.

Belts with copper decoration remind us of traditional wrestler’s belts, like that seen in Stella McCartney’s collection that’s also decorated with wood and actually looks like made of wood.

Corset belts have been popular since last fall but they’re still top fashion with lots of catwalk shows presenting this style for autumn and winter 2008/09. This time, corset belts have a wider range of materials to be made of. Denim belts, for example, look great with funky teen style.

Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier decorate their corsets with Swarovski crystals and faceted stones. Another popular tendency is wearing a corset belt with a narrow belt above it. Such designs were presented at Vivienne Westwood and Max Azria fall/winter 2008/09 catwalk shows.

As we’ve already mentioned before, leather is a big in thing this fall and winter. Leather boots, leather jackets and, of course, leather pants are ultimate must-haves for a fashionista.

Leather pants first showed up at catwalk shows of McQueen, Preen, Temperley and Givenchy and soon became the high street fashion must haves this fall and winter. They tie in nicely with this season’s goth and grunge trends.

Leather pants tendencies this season are tight-fitting skin on skin pants and leather treggings, which are a hybrid form of leggings and trousers.

Keep the silhouette long and lean, ” Pippa Holt, fashion features associate at Vogue says. “Wear them skinny with a tunic top cinched in at the waist by a thin belt. Or for a soft-goth look, pair them with Jaeger London’s black fringed cape. If you’re wearing them in the evening, take inspiration from Ricardo Tisci at Givenchy and add gold chain necklaces and a jacket,” she adds.

Leather trousers should always have a rock edge. The rock wardrobe is their heritage. So wearing them with heels in an Abigail’s Party way can look really Sloaney and uncool,” says stylist Emily Barnes.

So these are simple tips you can follow when wearing leather pants and treggings:

1. Unless you’re a biker, don’t do double leather (trousers and jacket).

2. Wear lather trousers in black. You don’t have to stick to black in all other outfit details, try yellowish-brown, grey, or navy in tops and shoes.

3. As for shoes, ankle boots look great with leather pants.

4. Keep a balance between hard and soft, boyish and girly.

5. In case you don’t want to emphasize your bottom or visually expanse it, don’t wear pocketless leggings.
Choose skinny pairs like Christopher Kane’s, which have carefully positioned back pockets to avoid this.

6. If you’re a Vegan try “pleather”, leather-effect jeans.
