Spring bride 2008 - Fresh runway bridal looks

Posted by v on April 18, 2008


Unique and elegant wedding favors

Bridal wear is gone haute. DON’T BE surprised if fashion chameleon Agyness Deyn is photographed out in Hoxton wearing a veil before long; Japanese milliner Misa Harada’s bridal-themed spring/summer 2008 collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto is putting wedding chic at the very top of the style register.

“The collection is entitled Just Married - this symbolises the designer’s marriage, or commitment, to the label and also the Yohji Yamamoto concept: women wearing men’s clothes,” Harada tells us. “My take on the collection was to translate masculine hat forms to feminine ones, adding a touch of haute couture. Yohji’s team gave me complete freedom over my designs, which was lovely.”  ( British Vogue)

Something Blue Comb by Bonbon Oiseau : $650.00 - something stunning.

Oprah sells off her clothes labelled “Oprah’s closet”

Posted by v on April 18, 2008

Oprah Winfrey is giving fans the chance to own a little piece of her style, but rather than start her own fashion line, she has opened a store to sell off her own clothing.

Oprah’s Closet sits in the corner of a large shop of Oprah souvenirs and memorabilia, which is positioned across the street from where her eponymous television show is filmed. The small section features a rail of clothing, which rotates to feature around 20 pieces, each labelled with the tag, ‘Harpo Inc. hereby certifies that the item to which this tag is attached is a genuine garment from the closet of Oprah Winfrey.’
Clothing ranges in size from a UK size 14-18, and features US high street pieces, such as Banana Republic, to high-end designer, including YSL, Prada and Chanel .
Explaining the appeal, the New York Times reported from the store this week, and spoke to customer Barbara Jean Hoy. ‘The feeling is, Oprah had this on and now I’m wearing it! When you go in there, you feel just great, like you are somebody, like Oprah is touching you,’ Hoy explained.

With all proceeds going to charity, the prices aren’t exactly a bargain, but for Winfrey’s many fans, it is a chance to own a piece of their idol.
