The second place in our collection is given to Salma Hayek – she, as usual, was shining in her asymmetrical red dress.
The dress of Ayshvarayi Rye, the dark blue toilet of Camilla Belle from Gucci and the delicate white-yellow dress with a train of Michelle Yeoh from Roberto Cavalli also looked very elegant.
This time Hofit Golan chose an original white dress with an asymmetrical cut and in greek style – however, it looked wonderful. The black translucent dress with embroidery and fringes from Givenchy worn by Naomi Campbell also looked interesting.

It is also worth mentioning the dress with sparkling colors of the rainbow of Alessi Piovan, the noble dress of fuchsia color of Ellen Barkin, the magical “mirror” dress of Tiziana Rocca and the stylish ensemble of Sarah Marshall, where both shoes and the dress looked great.

Today we would like to show how at this year’s Christmas and New Year’s Eve the Parisian store departments of Printemps and boutiques of the following brands- Joseph, Zadig & Voltaire Loft Design, Lacoste, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Loewe look.
In the Christmas windows of the Paris Printemps store department reigns the “Russian Winter”, full of fashionable folk style together with innovative bright clothes, bears, dolls and Snow Maiden in gold Faberge egg.
There is also a magnificent chandelier Baccarat, first shown publicly at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. The crystal fixture was created specifically for the Russian Czarina Maria Alexandrovna and Tsar Nicholas II.
The shop windows of the menswear department in the store of Printemps are full of the snow-covered forest, full not only with animals, but hunters, skiers and tourists.

In Joseph boutiques the designers created the “Arctic winter” in the style of minimalism, like ice, icebergs, penguins, which are all in black and white. In the same colors and decorations are the shop windows of the brands by Zadig & Voltaire Loft Design, but just in a spirit of youth.
The window displays of Lacoste boutiques are full of snow, birch trees, with a cozy home environment.
The shop windows of Gucci and Louis Vuitton, as always, admire with the glow of neon and with plenty of details. But if Gucci made a bet on the images of its items, by adding only a few flakes of snow, Louis Vuitton, on the other hand, has decided that the corporate color print of the brand creates a holiday atmosphere by itself.
The shop windows of the boutiques by Hermes and Loewe are decorated with snow-capped mountains and the famous reindeer of Santa Claus.

Alexander McQueen: naturalness

«In the nude» trend does not have lack of vitamins and sunlight. It seems that designers decided to save and not make-up their models before going on stage; in any case, there was an impression of that after the show of Alexander McQueen. But it should be mentioned that with minimum efforts he had amazing results. The spring freshness and aristocratic pallor was what doctor McQueen prescribed. The trend was expressed brightly by Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Burberry Prorsum, Prada, Christopher Kane, Balenciaga, Giambattista Valli, Fendi, Givenchy, Stella McCartney and Ralph Laurent.

Gucci: bright eyes

Juicy collection from Gucci was focused on eyes. Frida Giannini chose turquoise shades and a black pencil. Do not hide such beauty behind dark glasses! See also pink eyes by Jonathan Saunders’ collection, canary by Sportmax, ginger by Alexandre Herchcovitch and Rodarte and violet by Christian Lacroix.

Yves Saint Laurent: outlining

For an effective and efficient eye shooting just draw arrows on your eyelid. For its realization you will need liquid outline or pencil. But it should be black and only black. You will find such example in the collection of Yves Saint Laurent. We will advise you to use outlines from Moschino, Valentino, Giles, Dries van Noten.

Versace: Metallic

When you wear silver, gold or bronze clothes, shoes, handbags and jewelry you need to add such shadows to your skin. Donatella chose the combination of copper and gold. We can see violet lips in the show by Zac Posen and chocolate by Dior, a gold face by Missoni, silver eyes by Vera Wang and Giorgio Armani, bronze – by Oscar de la Renta.

Louis Vuitton: stressing lips and eyes

The first rule of old-fashioned make-up estheticians of accentuating only eyes or lips has lost its currency. Marc Jacobs believes that everything should look beautiful. So we are applying red chopstick as berry jelly on our lips and stress the eyes with smoky shadows. Remember that smoky eyes always look very sexy. We leave eyebrows and cheekbones in their natural way. You can observe such image on the models of Nina Ricci, Miu Miu and Dior.

Men’s fashion week has already started in Milan. New collection of the Spring / Summer 2010 was demonstrated by the world’s leading brands such as D & G, Burberry, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Armani. The main hero of D & G fashion show became Madonna’s beloved Brazilian model Jesus Luz.
The next season’s trend is still a classical elegance. Many designers have also offered a model in the style of nonchalant chic. Modern men of fashion are not forbidden to wear jackets on the bare body, torn jeans, blazer with elongated sleeves, looking from under jackets and shirts three times longer than the jacket.

Giorgio Armani (Giorgio Armani) has always been very consistent and moderately elegant. Shirts in thin stripes, narrow ties in the style of 80′s, asymmetric notches, cut jackets complex, original shoes, as if from an American movie screens – these are the main notes in the collection of Emporio Armani P / E 2009. The main “decoration” of the fashion show of the great Italian designer was his invited guest Fergie (American singer).

The third show in Milan was held by Burberry. The creative director of the Brand, Christopher Bailey, said that the new Spring 2010 collection reflects the general mood of economic downturn. All the things are elegant as always, but not bright. Burberry collection is an image of a typical English day: first, it’s raining, and after comes the bright sun. But in general, everything is done in a very modest way, if not say restrained. Basic materials are cotton and flax. A jacket with a printed pattern and glossy finish, as well as bulky redingote and shiny boots also looked very nice. It is very courageous and gorgeous at the same time.

The sexiest collection in Milan was presented in the fashion show of Donatella Versace. Creation of Dolce and Gabbana was balanced between the everyday elegance and refinement. GF Ferre represented his collection with a lot of white things. Among the accessories of 2010 are not only the traditional leather belts and purses, but also bags and objects of various shades, which can be carried in hand or over the shoulder.
