HAUTE COUTURE

Riccardo Tisci wants us to go to Peru with style. (He's obviously heading that way with this collection)
With chantilly lace gowns under leather biker jackets, incredible fringed dresses, tobacco brown striped pieces, a pink suite and his signature embroided dresses, he made us adore him and his talent even more.

RICCARDO TISCI

Has only been at the house of Givenchy for 3 years but already it's hard to imagine him not being there.
It's always a joy to see what he comes up with season after season.
His clothes are always wearable and incredibly beautiful. They are for the strong woman, the passionate woman - a woman with a mind of her own.
His FW 08/09 collection was said to be one of his best collection to date; With PVC jackets and skin thight trousers, chiffon tops and lace dresses, you could see that he was clearly inspired by the Catholic rock chick.
For me, his work is ALWAYS so well done. The details, the craftmanship, the embroidments. From the choice of fabric he uses to the accessories, it's all put so very well together.
I'm a Givenchy girl and I always will be - as long as Mr. Tisci is there.

Might I add that he is also the president jury at this years Hyeres Fashion and photography festival. I think that says a bit about how powerful he will become in the future.

Fabulous Roisin

Is indeed fabulous. Her style is divine and so is her voice. I have always been a big fan of moloko and Roisin Murphy.
Her previous solo album "Ruby Blue" (2005) was experimental and brilliant. With her new album (overpowered) she has gone a bit more pop/dance/electronic but is still absolutely lovely. I, Gaia Melanie am simply in love with it. Right now it's the only thing I hear on my ipod (that has 7000songs). Okay, maybe it's not the only thing I listen to. But I do listen to it every day and it makes me oh so very happy.
Not to mention her always amazing music videos. "Sow into you" is one of my favorite. Directed by Simon Henwood that also directed "If we'r in love" and "Let Me Know" from the "Overpowered" album.


With her new album (overpowered 2007) she has so far made two fantastic music videos.
"Overpowered" is a brilliant video by Jamie Thraves. Where she is wearing Gareth Pugh and looks amazing. The dress, coat, shoes and hat are just perfais.

Her second video "Let Me Know" is another great video directed by Simon Henwood. She is wearing pieces from the genious Maison Martin Margiela FW 07/08 collection. And if i'm not mistaken a Gareth Pugh see-through cape. And again: A beautiful, beautiful hat.



If I were to have someone elses wardrobe I would without a doubt have hers!
