A Very Vogue Outfit.

Si vives en la ciudad de Panamá y estas interesado en la moda debes estar anuente que esta semana fue dedicada enteramente al equipo de Vogue Latinoamérica que estuvo de visita en nuestra ciudad, en caso que no lo supiste para eso mejor múdate a una islita remota en medio del Archipiélago de las Perlas – just kidding. ;)

Pero no importa, la cosa es que vinieron, visitaron, tomaron y se fueron. Fue una semana muy divertida en la que conocimos mucha gente interesante. Ahorita mismo estoy en New York City preparándome para New York Fashion Week pero antes que comience quería compartirles mi outfit para la fiesta de Vogue.

No hay nada más Vogue que ... Vogue de Madonna. Por eso decidí irme por un look totalmente en negro de Versace porque digo... el video de Madonna es en blanco y negro y es extremadamente chic y sexy y todos los adjetivos que le quieras poner, siempre y cuando sean buenos. Y Versace porque simplemente siento una buena conexión con esa marca, es sexy y elegante. No me pude sentir mejor con mi outfit.

Pero como el outfit era muy monocromático decidí accesorizarlo con las dos tendencias en accesorios que más están pegadas: midrings & los earcuffs. Definitivamente un outfit que repetiría!

If you live in Panama City you should be aware that the Vogue Latinamerica team spent like 4 days in our city, if not I recommend you rather move to a desserted island in the middle of nowhere – JK. ;)

As I said, Kelly Talamas (Vogue Latam’s Editor in Chief, in case you want to know more about her check my last blog post with an interview with her).

I am now in New York City getting ready for New York Fashion Week but I really wanted to share with you what I wore to the exclusive Vogue party last Thursday (I think it was Thursday, if it wasn’t Thursday omit my stupidity). My inspiration for the outfit (this sounds so fuckin cliché) was Madonna’s Vogue video – DUH!. I chose a black on black on black outfit by Versace which I LOVED, I couldn’t have been happier with it.

Since it was a plain black canvas I decided to accessorize It with two of the coolest accessories trends right now: earcuffs & midrings. Definitely an outfit I would repeat!

Met Gala 2012

Instagram shot by @stevenkolb

There’s probable just one way to know if you are a heavyweight in the world of fashion. An invitation to the Met Gala it is. Last year we celebrated the Savage Beauty of the work of one of the biggest geniuses we’ve had in fashion, Lee McQueen.

2012 was a year of the female power. The queens of the exhibition are Elsa Schiaparelli & Miuccia Prada, two individuals that shared two obsessions, beauty & how it impacted the lives of women.

As you may know, the Met Gala is like the best night in all of the fashion calendar, here you HAVE to dare to really have fun with the clothes since it’s such a magical night.

So, I decided to organize a boxing match between two trends that were seen last night, it’s up to you to choose the winner! In the left corner we have The Golden Girls, leaded by the woman of the night, Miuccia Prada, followed by Carey Mulligan in custom made Prada, Mad Men’s new gal pal Jessica Pare, Bianca Brandolini, Donatella “va-va-voom” Versace, BG’s Linda Fargo in personalized Naeen Khan, Leighton Meester in Marchesa, DRee Hemingway in Topshop & whole battalion of golden sirens.

On the other corner we have The Exhibitionists Black Dahlias whose leader is none other than Uncle Marc, Marion Cotillard & The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara, followed by Beyonce, Renee Zelllweger in Emilio Pucci, Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu, Vogue’s former fashion news editor Sally Singer in Nina Ricci.

There were also girls that were in the audience, watching the match but obviously in synch with some ongoing trends. Peplum Gals: Elizabeth Banks in Mary Katrantzou (do not try that at home), Eva Mendes in Prada, Diana Agron in Carolina Herrera, Solange Knowles in Rachel Roy, Emma Roberts in Escada, January Jones in Atelier Versace, Sofia Vergara in Marchesa & last but not least, Jessica Stam in Dior.

Finally, there is the 5KM Legs Team. While Angelina is busy arranging her wedding these girls are disrupting public order by showing those impressive legs (& in one case, much more). Anja Rubik took the thing to the extreme in Anthony Vaccarello, one of the Clarins girls in Mugler, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Liv Tyler in Givenchy, Lea Michele in DVF, Elettra Wiedemann in Sophie Theallet, Carine Roitfeld in Givenchy Couture & last but def not least, red carper queen, Gisele Bundchen.

So, in your opinion, which team was really feeling the Met Gala?

The Emmys Fashion Nominees

Muchos lo llaman los Oscars de la TV, pero la verdad eso no es de mi interés, lo que si era de mi interés eran las 19 nominaciones que Glee tenía. Para los que no saben, Glee es EL MEJOR TV show ahorita mismo, a mi opinión, y no es de esperarse que sea un gran fan ya que es una serie/musical que es considerada por tener una de las mejores direcciones artísticas de la década al igual que ingeniería en sonido.

Pero como el título lo dice, no estamos aquí para hablar de Glee (aunque me encantaría pasarme horas escribiendo sobre el show), la razón de existencia de este post supongo que es tácita: fashion.

And here are the nominees:

Claire Danes in Armani Privé. (Fall 2010 Couture)

Kyra Sedwick in Monique Lhuillier. (Fall 2010)

January Jones in Atelier Versace. (Spring 2010)

Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta. (Resort 2010)

Christina Hendricks in Zac Posen. (Resort 2011)

Although this dress isn't made for her breast size, it's a beautiful gown.

Anna Paquin in Alexander McQueen. (Resort 2011)

Whoever  able to pull off a Alexander McQueen's gown is in my list.

Despite of that, I didn't like the shoes, the dress is too dense to wear black pumps.

Toni Collette in Valentino. (Resort 2011)

Rose Byrne in a one-of-a-kind Gucci dress.

Leah Michele in Oscar de la Renta. (Resort 2011)

She is going to be a fashion star, you'll see, she is definitely in the right path.

Nina Dobrev in Zuhair Murad. (Fall 2010 Couture)

Jenna Ushkowitz from Glee.

Heather Morris from Glee in an Ina Soltani gown. 

This one is my favorite, it would've been perfect for the Oscars but still, I'm always starstruck for glitter-ish things.

. 

Julie Bowen in J. Mendel. (Resort 2010)

Jewel in Zuhair Murad. (Fall 2010 Couture)

Jennifer Carpenter.

Can you believe this is Emily Rose?

Ahora, quiero que tú me digas, ¿cuáles fueron tus favoritos de la noche?

Y en próximos post anunciaré quienes fueron las ganadoras...

Au Revoir!
