Resort 2012: Alexander Wang & Calvin Klein

Two collections did simplicity well this resort season and those are Alexander Wang and Calvin Klein.  Even though Wang used more color than Klein, I think there was something simple about his pops of color.  Both collections are totally different.  Where Wang embraces the edgy cool girl, Klein goes for understated glamour, but both are equally awesome in different ways.

Resort 2012 Collections: Jason Wu and Calvin Klein

CK One Commercials

OK, two things.

1.  If these commercials don't make you want to buy CK One products and dance around, I don't know what will.
2.  Could Abbey Lee Kershaw be any more gorgeous?

Lara Stone for Calvin Klein

Top six models of 2010: Number Five

My fifth favorite model of 2010 would have to be Lara Stone.

Lara was all over magazines this year or should I say her breasts were.  This year's trend seemed to shift towards racy ads and magazine covers.  The fashion world embraced curves but only on skinny models, and Lara was the front runner for the trend.

Now, some of you might argue that Lara was the first model of her kind and that now, designers are looking for the Lara Stone "look-a-likes" like Daphne Groeneveld.  While it's true that Lara did start a trend for buxom young models with gaps between their teeth and blonde hair, there is no one who can outshine Lara which is proof from her numerous covers and ad campaigns.

However, Lara is 27 years old.  She's been around the fashion scene for awhile and has been a favorite of mine for a few years.  For those reasons, she is getting placed a little lower on my list then she probably deserves.

Either way, bravo, Lara for embracing your femininity and imperfections.

Calvin Klein Remakes the Cher Dress!

So, I was looking at the Gilt sales today and one of them was Calvin Klein's collection. I was laughing a little to myself thinking about the scene from Clueless when Cher is going to the party with Christian and she wears the skimpy white dress. Her father says, "Cher what is that?" and she responds, "it's a dress." "Says who?" "Calvin Klein."

(Yes, I do know almost every line of that movie by heart.)

Anyways, I was reading The Cut blog from NY Magazine and I stumbled across an article saying that Calvin Klein is remaking the Cher dress! It's available online tomorrow from L.A. Boutique Confederacy. If only I had an extra $900 dollars lying around, I'd buy this dress in a heart beat.
