Love the details: Lucy Liu & Phillip Lim Zipper Dress

Lucy Liu fue una de las invitadas a la fiesta de cumpleaños de Patricia Field. Acudió vestida de 3.1 Phillip Lim Primavera 2009.

Lucy Liu attended Patricia Field's B-day Party. Dressed in 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2009 Zipper dress.


Me encanta el detalle de la cascada de cremalleras que empieza en la espalda, fluye por la parte frontera de la pieza y rodea las caderas. Gracias a que el vestido está disponible en Bergdorf Goodman podemos apreciar los detalles mejor que en la pasarela.

Love the detail of the zipper cascade that start on the back, flows down the front part of the dress and surrounds the hips. Thanks to Bergdorf Goodman we can appreciate this fab detail better than on the catwalk photos.


Igual te acordarás que Kate Bosworth llevaba el mismo vestido en Diciembre el año pasado. La diferencia entre los dos es que el vestido que lleva Lucy es tal cual se ha visto durante el desfilé, ...

You'll probably remember Kate Bosworth wearing the same dress back in December 2008. The difference between these two pieces is that the one Lucy wore is the came one we saw on the runway, ...


... mientras que el vestido de Kate está hecho a medida para ella. "Le dije a Phillip que realmente me gustaba este vestido y sabiendo que tiene una linea verde, le pregunté si sería posible que me lo hiciera y su contestación ha sido positiva. Parte es cáñamo, parte seda orgánica, cremalleras recicladas y ha sido teñido a mano con tintes naturales. Y eso que mucha gente cree que las lineas ecológicas tienen que ser aburridas. El motivo porque me encantó era porque fue una demostración de que una prenda 100% ecológica puede llegar a ser muy interesante."

While Kate's dress was tailor made for her. "It’s his green line. This dress is in his regular [Spring] line but he made this for me for this event. I told Phillip I really liked this dress, but I know he has a green line, so I asked if it was possible to make it green and he said absolutely. This is some hemp, some organic silk, recycled zippers, and it’s been hand-dyed in natural dyes. What’s so great about it is a lot of people think green clothing can be boring or granola-ish. The reason I loved it is it shows how you can make an interesting design 100 percent green."

What a coincidence... Barbie dressed like a super star.

La muñeca Barbie celebra su 50 aniversario y uno de los eventos de esta gran celebración que durará todo el año era la primera pasarela dedicada a este icono de moda. Eran 51 los diseñadores que cooperaron en el show al que los visitantes de la Semana de moda de Nueva York pudieron acudir el día de San Valentín. "Barbie siempre ha sido una inspiración para mí," dijo Reem Acra, uno de los diseñadores invitados. "Vestirla era parte de los sueños de cualquier niña. Mientras la modista que vivía con nosotros cuando yo era pequeña hacía ropa para mí, me sentaba a su lado y creaba modelitos para Barbie a juego con los míos de los trocitos de tela que sobraban". El espectacular vestido largo que eligió la diseñadora para su Barbie...

Barbie celebrates her 50th anniversary and one of the events of this huge celebration that will continue throughout all this year was her first-ever runway devoted to this famous global fashion icon. 51 designers took part in the show hundreds of New York Fashion Week visitors attended the day of St. Valentine. "Barbie has always been an inspiration," says Reem Acra. "Dressing her was part of ever girl’s dream. We had a live-in seamstress who made my clothes; and while she was making my clothes, I would sit next to her and make matching outfits for Barbie with the leftover fabric." The spectacular dress he's chosen for his Barbie...


... coincidentalmente era el mismo que Eva Longoria lució durante los Golden Globe Awards.

When the designer and his style icon meet: Gareth Pugh & Daphne Guinness

Él comentó en diferentes ocasiones que le encantaba la idea de que alguien como ella luciera sus creaciones, alguien a quien le gusta comunicarse a través de lo que lleva puesto.

Mientras ella llevaba uno de sus modelos, decía a la prensa que él es un diseñador polifacético y el más interesante de los que salieron de Reino Unido en los últimos años. En la misma entrevista a Irishtimes también dijo que le gustaban armaduras.

Hace nada tuvieron la ocasión de decirse los cumplidos uno al otro personalmente. Él es Gareth Pugh. Ella es Daphne Guinness. Ambos juntos posaron para la revista Time Out magazine vestidos en las armaduras de Gareth Pugh Primavera 2009. Gareth va a trabar como editor invitado para la revista durante London Fashion Week. Una de las fotos también aparecerá en la portada de la revista.

The designer himself commented in several occasions he liked the idea of someone like her wearing his pieces, someone who likes to make a statement with what she wears.

And herself, wearing one of his dresses, told press he's multi-faceted and the most interesting dress designer to come out of the UK for a while. During the same interview for Irishtimes she also said she had a thing about armour.

Now these two had an opportunity to share their mutual respect for each other. He is Gareth Pugh. She's Daphne Guinness. The designer and his style icon met during the photoshoot session for Time Out Magazine. Both were posing in B&W armour pieces from his Spring 2009 collection. The designer has been invited to guest edit Time Out magazine during the course of London Fashion Week and one of the pictures will appear on the cover of "his" issue.




Gareth debe estar por las nubes. Primero Kylie y Roisin. Luego Beyoncé. El otro día encontré esta foto de Grace Jones, parte del editorial "Amazing Grace" en la revista The Observer Music Monthly de Octubre 2008. Y ahora se le cumple el sueño y tiene la oportunidad de trabajar con una de sus fashion icons favoritas. Qué niño tan afortunado!

Gareth has to be so happy. First Kylie and Roisin. Then Beyoncé. The other day I found this Grace Jones picture - part of the "Amazing Grace" editorial for The Observer Music Monthly October 2008 issue. And now his dream came true and he had the opportunity of working with one of his favourite fashion icons. What a lucky guy.
