Vintage Sunday by Annie Leibovitz

The way I came to make today's Vintage Sunday post was anything but straightforward. Usually when I prepare this post, I want to include some recent news and fit it somehow in the past. I was thinking about Stefano Pilati and how I'm sad he's left Yves Saint Lauren. Don't get me wrong I'm sure Hedi Slimane who's replacing him will do great, but I still feel sorry for Pilati and I hope he's going to find a great new job soon or will start his own fashion label. Thinking about all of this I remembered how sad and shocked I was when Tom Ford left YSL and Gucci. Tom Ford is my favourite designer ever and this is how the story came about. I was going to post about his era for YSL, but I found this amazing editorial starring beautiful Natalia Vodianova shot by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue, interpreting Alice in Wonderland in a very clever and unusual way.
Above we have Alice falling into the rabbit's (Tom Ford) hole wearing YSL Rive Gauche by the designer.
Below you can see Olivier Theyskens and Natalie in his design for Rochas, Karl Lagerfeld and his Chanel Haute Couture creation, Christian Lacroix and Haute Couture dress by him, Stephen Jones who wears a custom-made hat of his own design, Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano, Alexis Roche, Atelier Versace dress and Donatella Versace and Rupert Everett all playing different parts in the story. Awesome editorial, no?
Have a stylish day.

Let's face it - it's very cold outside and the weather forecast doesn't give us any hope for it getting warmer. So we all face a dilema, how to look and be warm without loosing fashion credentials. Worry you not! As there is a very hot looking accessory, that will not only keep you warm but also looks stylish and cool. I'm talking about the snood! The autumn/winter '09 catwalks were full of them and they have been decorating necks of many celebrities. There is so many options too. You can go for bright as seen on Matthew Williamson catwalk, or luxurious feeling with furry ones seen at Michael Kors, Christan Dior, Christian Lacroix or keep it simple-ish like Burberry Prorsum by Christopher Bailey. The possibilities are endless and if you can't afford a designer option, there is plenty on the hight street as well. No reason to be cold this winter, despite the weather. That's what I like.
Have a stylish day.
