As a professional woman and aspiring/full-time fashionista, your handbag collection must include an “archive handbag”…. Pair it with denim, an easy tunic dress, or layer it in fall with a meaty sweater as you hit the flea markets. My current favorite is the Ophidia GG supreme by Gucci pictured to the left ~ right size, right length, old school panache…DONE!
It’s doable and tell me this contemporary plaid blazer with collarless shirt isn’t HOT! Wearing plaid doesn’t have to be professorial, geeky, loud, or stuffy. Gucci under the guidance of Frida Giannini has flourished and while this particular combination may be out of your price range {blazer, $2,350 and shirt, $510}, consider the possibility that plaid is a new classic. Here’s a Gucci Prince of Wales check blazer, ASOS Slim Fit check blazer, or Peter Millar Vespa sportcoat that captures the
Frida Giannini is Gucci’s Creative Director and her Spring 2012 RTW presented in Milan is a wonderful juxaposition of retro flapper style with gilded age and new wave. I’m showing some of my favorite looks, but here are few runway to walkway notes to keep in mind: Black is the base color of choice (keeping it simple) Metallic is a fabulous and often used accent Think body skimming but not overly fitted Use of lines is all about elongating the

With their fall 2011 RTW collection, Gucci celebrated their 90th anniversary! A fashion house doesn’t stick around for almost a century unless they have something extraordinary going on like Gucci does. Gucci has become synonymous with Italian luxury and this collection was just that with deep jewel tones, fur and even python all over the runway.

There are not enough American designers who make it BIG and who continue to evolve their style while maintaining the foundation of style that propelled them to the top. Tom Ford is an exception–a top notch designer extraordinaire! Love Tom Ford for reviving the floundering Italian design label Gucci — kisses!
