Vogue China: Instant Classic

August 29, 2010 – 9:55 am

I came across this spread for Vogue China’s September 2010 issue and it showcases the type of vintage styling I am a fan of – timeless, classic and sophisticated.

The styling is artistic and timeless. The looks aren’t dated with any over the top period pieces and would be glamorous decades ago or decades from today.

Story behind the shoot:

Paolo Roversi creates a vision of classic finery for Vogue China’s September issue. There are no avant garde costumes or blurry photography tricks, but the story doesn’t lack for anything; Nicoletta Santoro’s vintage inspired styling and Liu Wen’s timeless beauty are more than enough and Roversi showcases both with his engaging portraits. There is something almost painterly about the look of this editorial and its nostalgic feel. -Models.com

Summer’s Luxury Swimwear

August 25, 2010 – 8:31 am

As summer comes to an end, I recommend taking advantage of every bit of sunshine you can before you have to pack on the layers again.

The best way to accomplish this is at a pool party!

You can host one, attend one at local swanky hotel or hit Vegas for the real deal.

These pool parties aren’t for your Body Glove maximum support and coverage suit. These parties require something a bit more luxurious, sultry and sophisticated.

Possibly luxury lingerie inspired swimwear?

Agent Provocateur Swim 2010

When I begin to think about sexy and luxury lingerie, I immediately think of Agent Provocateur. Nothing says sexy glamor, like an Agent Provocateur swimsuit, a large brimmed hat and a cosmo!

Styling tip: When attempting the sultry vixen look, it is key not to discount your look to much as you may, like your suit, come off as cheap. For those who would like to leave a bit more to imagination, regular day time cocktail attire is recommended as an alternative to swimwear.
