LA Fashion Week - Kevan Hall's Spring 2008

Kevan Hall's spring 2008 collection was very chic and elegant. Consisting of beautiful African-inspired couture; long, flowing dresses in golds, coppers, browns, reds and multi-colors; and lots of zebra and leopard prints, there was something for everyone. His designs included a variety of wide bejeweled necklines, and his jewelry was divine--large, colorful cuffs and big, statement necklaces.

Victoria Beckham Launches dVb in Germany

Victoria Beckham was stunning in black at the launch of her Fall/Winter 2008 dVb denim collection in Dusseldorf, Germany. She posed for these chic photos at Jades Boutique in her own dramatic designs.

Posh wore an all black suit comprised of a shirt, vest, skinny tie and bell-bottom jeans with ultra-wide cuffs which all but covered her shoes. However, it was Victoria Beckham’s jacket that caught my eye. With sharply flared double-layered sleeves, squared off shoulders, a V-front and short tails in the back, the jacket’s details create an almost vampiric look.

Gun Footwear - Chanel Vice Heel

After Balenciaga marked the fashion history with their "Lego" shoes it looks like all the labels are planning on following the path. Buzz around shoes may be the new thing so fashion guru Karl Lagarfeld decided to create his very own. 'Uncle Karl' was inspired by an image of a gun he saw somewhere and gave the image to Chanel's shoe designer Laurence Decade, who used plexi to make the "Miami Vice" shoe.

One of the famous people wear this shoes is Madonna. She is catching some heat for wearing Chanel’s gun heel shoes to the NYC screening of her film “Filth and Wisdom” in which the queen of pop (and controversy) made her directorial debut.

Mothers Against Murder And Aggression (MAMAA) which is a murder victim’s group labeled Madonna as “uncaring”.

“Lyn Costello, from MAMAA told Metro: "I am horrified that Madonna can see these shoes as fashion. "As a mother herself I would have thought that she would have paused for a second and thought about all the young people here and in her own country that have died because of gun crime. "It's uncaring. Surely she reads the news and realises that young people are dying every day.”

The shoes debuted on Thursday night at the Chanel resort presentation. They will be available in stores next month.via

Balenciaga Spring 2009

Would you wear a dress that looked more like fish scales? Yes, this kind of dress is now the newest creation into the world of new technology.


Balenciaga brought C3PO leggings into style last season, and for Spring 2009, Nicolas Ghesquière is sticking with the theme with pieces like the galactic tunic. Paired with a longsleeved white shirt, he sent a model down the runway at Paris Fashion Week in a glitzy jumper that looked more like fish scales than a high end dress.


“The genius of Balenciaga is Ghesquière's projection of couture techniques into the world of new technology. A crude stab at describing it might be "sci-fi couture," but the truth is his mind-set renders stock fashion vocabulary redundant. Ghesquière works without references or narrative, pushing experimentation with fabric and cut to the nth degree. Cleverer still is the sense of a grounded core: the recognizable, desirable developments of pants (the evolution of his jodhpurs in mackintosh fabric; the sophisticated motocross shapes), and the precious, shiny, chic bags clutched in every hand.” via

The “Killer Heels” Shoes

Want to look sexy or you want to torture your heels? Would you wear a shoes like this? This shoes is called “killer heels”. The shoes was designed by Patricia Field, these ridiculously high heeled, S & M-themed black stilettos look super sexy on singing sensation Rihanna. At a price of $86.00, it’s safe to expect that a few highly impressionable and really crazy women went and got themselves a pair of these stiletto daggers.

We all know shoes carry sexual connotations in our culture and these Torture Pumps play right into that sexual fetishism. But I insist you’d have to be out of your mind to try to walk in these torture chambers.
