Graphic Prints
Graphic prints certainly aren’t new but I was mesmerized by the digital versions at Elie Saab. You can see more of the pixilated prints over at Red Carpet Fashion Awards.

I didn’t mind when Carrie Bradshaw skipped around NYC in a bandeau top. But no offense, I just really don’t feel like seeing everyone’s stomach when I step out to get a green tea latte. Bare midriffs should stay in Britney Spears’ Circus.

I am not a fan of the drop waist. My hips are not a feature that I want to exaggerate. Anyone who is hourglass or pear shape probably feels the same. Tall, thin models, square shapes, and inverted triangles, on the other hand, look fabulous in a drop waist because it adds curves.
This is also a great trend for women with short waists. It’s just not a good trend for me. It’s too bad, because I’m in love with Dries Van Noten’s print (bottom right). If only the waistline was, well, at the waist.

I hated turtlenecks as a kid. They made me feel claustrophobic. But as I grew older, I discovered that turtlenecks magically give the illusion of a long, graceful, swan-like neck—especially when your hair is in an updo.
Hussein Chayalan’s bright skintight leather turtlenecks were too fembot for my taste but I loved all the others shown in Paris. I especially liked the way Nina Ricci accessorized turtlenecks with matching statement necklaces.
