Clearly Fashion, See Through Spring Trends, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 21 March 2007 by Angelique

Lucite Layer Bangles

Transparent Fendi Bag

Nine West Patent Leather and Lucite Shoes

It’s unanimous…the hottest trend going this spring is clear to see. Sorry, bad pun…lucite looks are showing up on everything from shoes and jewelry, and clear bags are going from low budget to high end. Remember back in middle school when the most awesome and popular girls had see through backpack purses? Well, they can relive those memories now with a quilted see through Fendi bag. Who knew?

While I must say, the lucite bangles are totally cute in a by the pool, little girl sort of way, I’m not digging the clear bag or heels. Yuck. For one thing, they don’t wear well…scuffs and scratches are all the more difficult to mask when the fabric is totally transparent. And for another…well, do you really want someone knowing the contents of your purse? Isn’t that just a little bit intrusive.

Well, what do I know…I’m going to keep my clear-wear to a minimum. How do you feel about this see through trend?

Fashion Hit or Miss: Rosario Dawson, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 19 March 2007 by Angelique

Rosario Dawson further supported my theory that 80’s-style dresses are still die hard fashion staples among Hollywood starlets when she stepped out this weekend at the ShoWest Talent Awards in Las Vegas. While I am glad that her hair is starting to grow out, and agree that the shoes are super cute, the dress still leaves me divided.

This dress is very shiny indeed, and hard for most people to pull off. Part of me loves it, but another part of me has a sneaking suspicion that it is made entirely of tin foil cupcake wrappers.

If you are like me and want to keep your silver to a minimum, do it LeFashionista style with some dainty sterling earrings from Amenda Tate. These are super stylish, yet more subtle than an aluminum dress and go with just about anything.

Dream Designer: Sarah Jessica Parker, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Posted on 14 March 2007 by Angelique






The many fashionable stylings of SJP (source)

Marc Jacobs may be in rehab, but no worries…there is a new stylist on the block that may just blow everyone out of the water. It has recently been announced that Sarah Jessica Parker will soon be releasing a new line of clothing called “Bitten.”

That’s right…you “Sex and the City” fans can stop rubbing your eyes in disbelief now. It is said that she showed her new line to a private group of investors in Indochine on March 13, so it’s all still in pre-production, but I for one can’t wait.

SJP, who has in the past been awarded the 2004 Fashion Icon award from CFDA, has been an inspiration to many a fashionista. From giant flower pins to barely there dresses, wild hair and even wilder accessories, SJP and her character on “Sex and the City,” Carrie, have given women a reason to get dressed in the morning.

Details are still few on her target audience, price points and what the collection looks like, but we will keep you posted with further developments.

What do you think…will SJP’s line be something special, or have we seen it all before?
