Carolina Herrera FW 09 Show

Carolina Herrera Finale fall/winter 2009 from Taryn Look on Vimeo.

Donna and some of her pieces.

I just returned from the Carolina Herrera F/W 09 show in Bryant Park. Sharon Stone, Anna Wintour, Nina Garcia, and Rachel Zoe were some of the onlooking Fashion A-listers. This was also my roommate Donna Kang's debut as a designer for Carolina Herrera!! Congratulations Donna!

I really loved the jewel-tone pallate of rich mossy greens, bronzes, gunmetal greys, deep turquoise and purples. I couldn't help but remember the plethora of patterns laying down in the middle of our living room floor at 1 am with Donna cutting and pasting the embroidery pattern as she organized the placements of each piece. Donna's embroidery designs were exquisite!

Happy Valentines Day!

Obsession

Balenciaga. Pre-Fall 2009.

I am utterly obsessed with these Balenciaga dropped-crotch skinny-pants. They're really androgynous-tastic.

New Beginnings

It has been a year since I wrote in here... and I've decided to start up again. New beginnings mark important transformations in our lives and needless to say, things are always changing. Les choses se passent.

This year is going to be one to remember, and that's why I've decided to start blogging again.

Cheers mes amis!
