Star Style – Eva Menedes

Posted by Sarah on 27th August 2008

Eva Mendes is seen here in a Christian Dior dress from the Spring/Summer 2008 collection. The actress wore this sumptuous, luxurious asymmetric dress with burn-out OR devore fabric and embellishment to Cartier’s Third Annual Loveday Celebration and Cartier Love Charity Bracelet launch, in Los Angeles, June 18. Recently, I wrote a post on devoré fabric or burn-out technique for adding texture to clothing.

John Galliano used this technique in his design for Dior and added to the sense of luxury with embellishment radiating on folds of fabric from a gathered “bud” of fabric building upon the floral design in the fabric. This also multiplies the dimensions of texture and adds another level of asymmetry. Continue the article below to see a gallery pictures of Eva Mendes in this Dior dress and pictures of this look from the Christian Dior Spring 2008 ready-to-wear fashion show.

Winning Style at the Academy Awards

Posted by Sarah on 7th March 2007

T his is posted much after the Oscars, but I have been familiarizing myself with the most efficient ways to post pictures. Afterall, on a fashion blog, images are a very important factor! I intended to do a post on the Oscars shortly after the awards show aired, but got distracted by administrative tasks having to do with this blog and other projects. The Oscar-related posts have been saved as drafts and sitting around for a while but I am posting these anyway, though late. ( Click on the thumnails for a bigger picture.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, in these poses, has a look that evokes a bit of Evelyn Nesbit’s look, a ‘Gibson girl’ from the turn of the 20th century. Albeit Maggie Gyllenhaal has a more innocent quality.
