A View To A Kill

Japanese designer Takahiro Miyashita is one of my favorite designers and now he's turning his precision of craftsmanship to sunglasses.

Takahiro makes aviators from vintage parts inspired by the 20's and 30's...




Using vintage components Takahiro's frames take on a classic look.

The Soloist teardrop comes in four earth tone colors and Takahiro Mayshita attention to detail is superb.

BONDAGE

British designer Gareth Pugh S/S 2012 collection took me on a sci-fi high...

It was a solid collection, sticking only to bold black pieces and solid whites.

The collection was a thrill to watch. The models were morphed into walking pieces of structured art.








The collection had a  futuristic vibe with sharp structured leather pieces with peek a boo horizontal stripped armor that showed just a dismal amount of nudity...

Pugh's PFW S/S 2012 was just as amazing as his past shows and always leaves me wanting to know what's to come!!!

CUCOON

My staple piece for the fall is the over sized boyfriend sweater...

I am obsessed with my Alexander Wang black sheer cut out over sized sweater.

This is one trend that is sure to be flattering for every shape. Designers like Micheal Kors and Alexander Wang have some great pieces in beautiful creams, grays and a light dark moss.

                                 



Pair up your sweater with  Rag & Bone's skinny leather pants or wear it on the town as a dress with a pair of Emilio Pucci thigh highs in a carmel hued suede that lace up the front.

BLADE RUNNER

Blade Runner is a major fashion event, a true masterpiece !

Harrison Ford wearing his rugged utilitarian trench coat prowls the steel and microchip jungle of  21st century  Los Angeles.

Blade Runner has inspired countless high fashion editorials and designers including Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier.





Ridley Scott's vision of an urban and stylized landscape is a realistic view of what the future of architecture and fashion could look like.

Blade Runner's innovative futuristic fashion style is a hybrid of the past and the future.

As the director Ridley Scott said "the future is old".

WALK THE LINE

Get a leg up this fall with the right boot...

Thigh high boots are perfect for the winter, they look ultra sexy and go perfect with the boyfriend sweater...

Thigh high boots should be done with certain heel heights, either a flat heel or a killer 6 inch.





Accents like a fringe going down one side of the boot are also pieces to look for.

Also a peep toe thigh high is also great. Shown above is a pair of Emilio Pucci thigh highs, these can be worn even in the summer with the perfect off the shoulder mini peasant dress...

HEAVY WOOL

The ideal men's coat for the fall for any man at any age is a wool pea coat.

The style of a pea coat  is versatile it can go from the office to a evening out easily.

A double breasted pea coat in gray, midnight blue or black are the best colors stick to. Detailing is important as well, chrome buttons are great accents and shoulder straps.






If your a bit short in stature stick to a pea coat that cuts off at the hip.

But if your taller, stick to a double breasted pea coat with a more structured and wider collar with a knee length.

The pea coat is the perfect coat for the fall and it will have you looking cool all season long...

NAILED IT

Here are some of the hottest trends that you should be rocking this fall...

It's all about jewel tones, sparkles and the modern manicure with the gold tip.

Step outside your box and add a little sparkle...




All the backstage rage on all the runway shows were the crazy nail art the models were rocking...

At one runway show they used caviar to cover the black nail lacquer which gave the models nails an amazing edge...

Stiletto nails are still a must especially in a merlot hue or jewel tone.

CAPE CRUSADER

The Cape is probably the best throw on piece to have in your closet...

Whenever I see a cape on a woman it looks so effortlessly chic.

Capes can be worn in all lengths, try a fur bolero cape or a floor length cape for a more glamorous feel...





I have a weakness for Micheal Kors and his fall 2011 RTW collection has the perfect carmel hued mid length cape that drapes over the body so beautifully ...

If there is anything that is missing from your fall wardrobe it's probably the cape...

KUBRICK

Stanley Kubrick was known as a perfectionist and one of the best directors in film history.

His style of direction is considered to be a visionary delight, and he's best known for his superb tracking shots and wide angles...




His hit "2001: A Space Odyssey" was a precursor to "Blade Runner" and "Star Wars".

Kubrick's attention to detail is exquisite, the design and  style of the film was way ahead of it's time...

He's influenced the best architects, film makers and designers of our time.
