Dior : S/S 2013 Accessories

Dior : S/S 2013 - Shoes
I am in love with the clean lines and simplicity of Raf Simons new interpretation of the Dior aesthetic.
I feels like he combed the archives and  found influence in the beauty of line, shape and proportion. Then infused by modern color with an industrial context.
















It's true what they say, "The sex is in the heel!!!" These shoes are Sexy and "Uber Chic"!!!























I'm sure these styles will stand the test of time.

Until next time; wishing you F,G,& E!!!

Lou Doillon 
for the
Barneys Fall 2013 Campaign 




While I have a lot of issues with the current controversy involving Barneys in NYC. I am loving this past Fall 2013 campaign.       They've put a spotlight on Lou Doillon the singer, model, actress.  She posed with a life size marionette replica of herself provided by set designer Shona Heath












The concept of having an alter-ego was integrated in all forms, from print to video and, of course, a famed window installation. 




















She posed for photographers  Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindooh Matadin in looks by Proenza Schouler for this campaign.




















I think I would love to have one of these just hanging out in my apartment.




Until next time…Wishing you F, G, &E!!!!
