An archive of lost glamour and musings on refined style
There were lots of beautiful dresses at last nights Academy Awards but what struck me the most about my favorite two looks was that they were both exquisitely tailored to the actresses that wore them. Both Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford and Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton looked stunning because the dresses they chose were not only beautiful, they were the right dresses for them. The silouttes were perfect for their body types and the tailoring and fit were flawless.
Every Fashion Week I think to myself, “I should have a new favorite show.” But then, Jenny Packham gets me everytime. The beautiful sillouettes, belted looks, and perfect mix of bright colors and neutrals give the collection a timeless elegance while still remaining fresh.
