Minimalist Gray Dresses for Maximum Impact

Posted on 10 August 2009 by Angelique

greys

Gray is the go to color for the minimalist look this fall. Gray is a neutral that will give you maximum impact when detailed with pleats, draping, gathering and other sculptural elements. We love all of the options for gray dressing this fall. Minimalist sculptural gray dresses and coats work well with the black leggings, tights and super skinny jeans you already own. Black works well, but you can also get daring by partnering gray with primaries such as red, royal blue and yellow. Or go with a monochromatic look with various shades of gray. One of our editors’ favorites is the Marc Jacobs sweatshirt dress. This dress totally reminds us of the Norma Kamali huge shoulder padded dresses of the ’80s! The RM by Roland Mouret coat is a classic that you can wear for many seasons. Mouret is a true artist when it comes to draping and minimalist statement dressing. The coat reminds me of my warmest winter Hussein Chalayan coat from my favorite store, Workshop, in San Francisco. Go ahead and go neutral this fall and stock up on this wardrobe staple.

Be Kept On Your Toes With Giuseppe Zanotti Platforms & High Heeled Mary Janes

Posted on 14 August 2008 by Jacqueline H

Get fashionable with Giuseppe Zanotti platforms and high heeled Mary Janes. This look is easy to get and looks great for any occassion. Giuseppe Zanotti has become a must for fashionable shoes. But the traditionally large sizes of this shape in the Giuseppe Zanotti Design collection are smaller. The platform is inside and the lower toe-line than usual lay the instep bare: the overall effect, then, is lighter than expected.


Giuseppe Zanotti brings on the cool look with a tortoiseshell pump set

The search for materials in this collection is as “acrobatic” as usual: there is pony skin with different spots on the right and left shoes. But there are also evergreen materials, like patent, where the most traditional color – black – sometimes includes shades of colors like petrol, green, or very dark burgundy, or tortoise and pearl.


Giuseppe Zanotti brings sexy back in patent black

The Mary Jane pump likes to compete with the girl next door gatsby look. Bring on the roaring twenties!

But no shoe looks good without being paired with a great outfit. Try a Beautiful Blouson top to entice the whole look. Now your smoking!
