From the Archives: Bottega 2005, WHAT!

SS is so pleased to spot a Bottega from wayyyy back then, yes before we were born and surely before you knew about Bottega hehe.

So here she is, love her dressing sense and subtle makeup and on top of that the naughty Knot!

.... her's is the black knot, which is equally hot. Who is she, spot her?

Spotted!: Chanel Large Tote.

Ahhh it's so good to finally spot something that's not a flap! Not that we wouldn't kill someone to get one! But the Chanel Large Tote on Roohi is a pleasant change indeed. Love how she pulls it off with a single color ensemble, lovely hair and that smile :)

When spotting brings you pleasure ... Drool!

It's so refreshing to see someone carrying a Bottega with such taste, and no wonder its form an event in London. Mehr was seen supporting a gorgeous kaftan-esq top with the Large Veneta.. Yummmy!

Trend Alert: Coral Fever!

Totally digging orange or coral this summer! Love how Rabia makes a bold statement with her gorgeous pout, Zarmina keeps it low key with a hint of hot in her beads. And Vinnie does chic like no one else. Love it!

Like or hate it! Let us know.... COMMENT.

Low Down: Couture '09

SS brings to you the not so happening Couture report from the ramps of Paris this time. The fashion world has been suffering from various reasons, Designers a little too inspired, New designers having to take over for legends and yes, Recession!

Valentino'09

Valentino has been an un missable force in the fashion industry, Mr. Valentino being a living legend. His fashion sense has always been very feminine yet calculated. The garments have always been a great combination of timelessness and trends. However when the magician retired he gave the reigns for the House of Valentino to his 'accessory designers' Maria and Pier. They have tried hard to maintain the name of Valentino let alone try to take it further. The pressure of 'keeping' to the aesthetics of Valentino had taken its toll on them with the duosticking to a very Valentino woman in their initial collections, and for the good as proved by the latest collection.

Unfortunately the latest collection lost too much of the Valentino woman. If your not at the front row with the Valentino signature glaring at you, the clothes seem to be too dangerous, bordering on cheap :S. IT was like a mix of Valentino and a new high street brand with garments jumping in and out of the V aesthetic. Say What?

Elie Saab '09

Regular readers will know that Elie Saab and Etro are strong favorites around here. But this time Elie has totally lost the plot. The designer who got his break when Halle Berry wore his boddy hugging gown to the Oscars, has embarrassed himself with an all white collection. THE 'Karl Lagerfield' having done it for chanel only 6 months ago on the same stage, an all white was a bad idea. With news of gasps and giggles on the front row it is highly dis appointing. There was however immense craftsmanship with the chiffon flowers, raw silk ripped detailing and other complicated stuff, phew! The only upside being that may be Elie is gearing up for a younger, more trend conscious customer?... Say What?

... watch this space for further reviews.

Speedy Spottin'

Louis Vuitton has died down with the death of the IT bag, been there done that! and yes even bought the T shirt.

However the speedy lives on, the fact that it's not an LV monogram canvas will keep us NOT sad for now.

Iraj: Fierce Feeline.

Iraj might be from another decade, but her instincts serve fashion right! This tall, gorgeous dusky beauty shows us just how the cat eyes need to be done!

Siam: Trash-a-nator!

It's totally cool to be wearing what you like, to show your alternate dressing, I totally get it! But there have to be ways subtle than this to blurt it out.

I don't see anything special in his clothes let alone his own sense of style or rather the lack of it!

His latest collection was full of 'ready made' neck lines available all over liberty and beyond.

I mean if the fashion industry is giving you so much exposure, which btw totally escapes me, then at least prove your worth, work hard to show your talent.

... and what's with him appearing in all his campaigns? Your totally not the USP darlin'

So i know your dyeing to tell me how much you like his sheer top, with the fake belt, Comment!

Chanel: Foot Candy!

Couture season has so many expectations stringed to it, Designer houses come out with all their force with the show, the garments, the models and the props!

Shoes are one detail that make or break a garment, this time around chanel has totally stolen the show, with sexy and bejeweled shoes.

and the bride wears? Satin Booties of course, Magic!

Chanel : Naked Ambition.

SS spotted Timmy at at a recent event with Deepak perwani and a gorgeous Naked chanel flap.

The bag is one of Karl's favorite daring designs, clear versions are for a woman who has nothing to hide! A bag in a bag may be? or a wallet? Absolutely!
