American Apothecary Halloween Event

This weekend I attended a cocktail party at the American Apothecary showroom in NY. The masquerade party was to showcase their latest line of medicinal t-shirts featuring heroin, cocaine, and cigarettes as remedies once used to treat illnesses. Call it fashion for a cause: ten percent of all proceeds go to drug outreach programs.

FASHION WEEK 2010: PARIS

Paris is known for the Eiffel Tower, croissants, and and cheese. But it is also home to some of the most renowned fashion designers in the world. This year they did not disappoint as they pulled out all of the stops for their Spring 2011 collections.


CHRISTIAN DIOR

This collection made me want to run to the beach. I absolutely adore the floral prints and the bright pops of color.


The sailor hat was the perfect accessory for this nautical inspired look.


Check out designer John Galliano's ensemble. Pippi Longstocking meets Popeye the Sailor Man!



LOUIS VUITTON
Leave it to designer Marc Jacobs to put a modern twist on several fashion classics. These silky floral print gowns are super sexy and sleek.

These pieces reminiscent of 1920's flapper dresses definitely have fringe benefits.


I've never seen animal prints like this before. MJ takes it to another level.


HERMES

This collection was definitely inspired by the wild, wild west. The cowgirl becomes sexy with the following looks. But who is going to wear all of that leather this coming Spring? These outfits are hot...literally!


Although the palette features mostly neutral colors of blacks, browns, and greys, there were a few specks of color mixed in.
