Giambattista Valli is Red Hot!

Earlier this week, Giambattista Valli showcased his Fall 2010 collection. I'm in love. From the camel coat to the sheer red dress, I loved every single piece. I will say that this one was slightly different than his previous winter collections. There was something airy about it; the others were heavy on material. Needless to say, the one thing I have noticed is that Valli has a love for red. It's like he knew that I, who is arguably his number one fan, loves the color red. Red must be the staple color for a Valli girl! Oui ou non?

The proof is in the pictures:

Giambattista Valli

It's like a mix of fantasy and elegance whenever I see Giambattista Valli's collections. T Magazine just dubbed him the "new fashion prince," and all I have to say is, you darn right. Valli was supposed to take over Valentino after he retired last year, but Valli decided not to (good choice Valli). One day when I am well-off, I will like to wear clothes that say Giambattista Valli and not Valentino by Giambattista Valli.

Check out this web exclusive piece T Magazine did on him.

Secretista + Cupcakes + Giambattista Valli = Forever

Oh Red Velvet, I love thee. Today was the day. Today was the day I had my very first Red Velvet cupcake, ever. I can't exactly describe the taste, but it was pure perfection. Previous to shoving it in my mouth, I heard that it was supposed to taste similar to chocolate; however, my taste buds didn't catch that flavor. When I saw the cupcake sitting there (and screaming my name), I couldn't help but say, "Hello there my little Giambattista Valli wannabe creation." Covered in creamy white vanilla frosting, and decorated with bright red sprinkles and drizzled milk chocolate, the cupcake really did look like a piece from his Fall 2008 collection. Or, I could just be trying to force my two loves to become one! Hah.

P.S. The new season of Project Runway Premieres tonight! Oh and if you have time, check out an update I wrote a couple of days ago. It's about childhood dreams. What's yours? Are you living it now? Mine was to be a stylist. No surprise there...

Monday Shmonday

The other day I stumbled upon Fashion Indie's intern tips. It mentions that you should try and follow the office dress code but still have a little pop of your personality. Now, this got me thinking: what exactly is my workplace's atmosphere? Our office is located on the same floor as Gilt Groupe and I do sometimes feel obligated to dress extra chic, but then again, I'm just me and I guess I should just dress how I want (within reason of course).

If I could pick one way to dress everyday, I would strap of a pair of Giambattista Valli platform heels and trott around in one of his voluminous dresses. If you haven't realized by now, I'm IN LOVE with Giambattista Valli. I dream of being personally styled by him. If I ever met him, I think my heart would stop and then I would ask to try on a dress. What designer do you idolize?

J'adore Dior? NO. J'adore Giambattista Valli!

Fall 2008

I owe my love for high Fashion to many designers, but ESPECIALLY Giambattista Valli. 4 years ago, I was a Freshman in high school and itching to get in on the Fashion scene. I convinced myself I would go to school for it and in the mean time I would just spend endless hours on style.com (against my parents wishes). Well, 4 years ago, I stumbled upon HIM--Giambattista Valli. I felt like I found my high Fashion voice. I love Europeans and I felt like he truly embodied what is so chic about the Europeans. The Europeans are nothing but class and sass, and Giambattista Valli knows how to convey that.

Fabsugar just posted his collection from Paris Fashion Week, and I am in heaven! It's nothing but volume, rouge, and much much more! Check his collection out to see the much much more.

On another note, I have decided to wear nothing but heels come this Spring. Well, the occasional flat, but I am going to challenge myself to wear nothing but heels. I wonder if that is possible to do, as a College student.

What's going to be your MUST wear item come this Spring?
