Tip of the day: Kirna Zabete boutique now online

Filed under: Style Tip of the Day


Famous, funky, favorite Soho lifestyle boutique Kirna Zabete has opened up shop online. Now you can scope out the goods from designer to décor from the comfort of home. Just think, all that money you'll save on your plane ticket to New York can be spent on high end designer duds like Lanvin, Alexander Wang, Giambattista Valli, Nina Ricci and Thakoon. Plus dogs, babies, and beginners are all welcome to the online boutique.

And as the Kirna Zabete saying goes, you'll "leave looking lovely." *sigh* We love this place.

Vivienne Westwood is back at London Fashion Week

Filed under: Style in the News

Although London Fashion Week doesn't normally receive quite as much attention as it's European counterparts, Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, it still manages to attract some big names. This year the infamous Dame Vivienne Westwood has returned to show her Red Label collection (more affordable than her Westwood brand), after a 9 year absence!

She was happy to be back, stating that London is a lower pressure atmosphere than what she's used to, "The best thing about being back in London was that I really had the time to work on the show. It wasn't like when you go to Paris and you just have to do it."

And the crowd was happy to have her back as well. Even the celebrities came out to show their support! Kelly Osbourne, Kimberly Stewart, Cuba Gooding Jr. (since when is he a fashion fan?) and Lily Allen were all there.

The Red Label collection was pretty awesome. In typical Vivienne style, the clothes transmitted lots of rock and roll attitude. Some of the themes from the show were masculinity (pin strips, and even drawn on mustaches on the models!), typical British fabrics (velvet and houndstooth), political statements (signs asking for fair treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay) and crazy hats (if that's what you could call some of the wraps and what not covering the models' heads). Some of the outfits were a teensy weensy bit over the top -- and by that I'm talking one piece, camel toe inducing suits with shiny purple leggings peaking out of the bottom. But there were also many wearable pieces.

I'll say no more, the clothes pretty much speak for themselves. Browse the gallery and enjoy the wackiness that is Vivienne Westwood!
