Two for the road- Designers and their muses/bff's

Designers change their inspirations for each collection they do each season but when it comes down to who inspires them it's all about the women who not only are their muses but are are their best friends. Like Hepburn was to Givenchy, these women are more than just pretty faces. Here are a few muses/models/bff's who are or were once the main focus of every collection done by these talented designers.

Erin Wasson and Alexander Wang

Nicolas Ghesquière and Charlotte Gainsbourg

Valentine Fillol-Cordier and Charles Anastase

Designers no longer with us but still inspiring us with all their great designs

Audrey Hepburn and Hubert De Givenchy

Yves Saint Laurent and Catherine Deneuve- my all time favorite Fashion duo

NYFW VS. LFW! My fashion week faves from both NYC to the LDN!

From Marc Jacobs to Luella, Spring was in full bloom! Pastels and all things pretty was floating the runways of both New York and London. Than we had designers like Phillip Lim for 3.1 Phillip Lim and Percy and Amy for PPQ who were not about pretty in pastels but still put together collections that were still very Spring but without looking like an Easter basket. With all these great collections and still no sign of Fall in L.A. one can only admire Louise Goldin and Proenza Schouler from a far. Who did it best, NYC or LDN ? Well, they are all winners to me. Until Milan and Paris, it's not over yet! My next post will be all my favorite collections from Milan to Paris. Let the Fashion battles begin!
