ELIE TAHARI (New York) Ruched Dress

When positioned properly, ruching can do wonders at disguising your less-than-perfect areas while emphasising where you are smallest. This Elie Tahari ruched number gives a bit of extra shape and flair to an otherwise simple design, while minimising extra bulks.
You’ll appreciate the bra-friendly shoulder straps, too.
Keep your look gracefully simple with upswept hair and dropped earrings, and finish with nude, metallic, or a bold-coloured heel.
(RRP US$298)

Both the quilted gold-toned leather and tiny gold discs create richness and playful elegance while putting a fresh spin on the timeless satchel shape.

Side note trivia: Famous for her handbags, Rebecca Taylor appears to have extended her area of work. Rebecca Minkoff fans now have the opportunity to, uh, wrap it up chicly with the designer’s new line of condoms.

REBECCA TAYLOR (New York) Tie-Waist Top

A tie-waist customises this Rebecca Taylor top to your shape, giving you a subtle figure flattery to underscore the white and cool liquid blue, calm and peaceful Japanese ‘shibori’ tie-dye pattern.
Balance your look with skinny jeans -or a pin-thin pencil skirt- and stilettos.
(RRP US$265)


The soft, cloud-like ‘shibori’ print popped on many pieces on the Rebecca Taylor Spring/Summer 2012 runway. The Japanese dyeing technique was actually Taylor’s nod to the country’s 3.11 earthquake last year, but the effect is optimistically bright and dreamy.

HOSS INTROPIA x MIGUEL PALACIO (Spain)

Founded by entrepreneur Constan Hernández in 1994, Spanish fashion house Hoss Intropia utilises its creative head Paloma Vázquez de Castro’s history as former designer to the Spanish National Ballet, interpreting this refined experience into elegance, sleek shapes, and utter femininity.

Since Autumn 2011, Hoss Intropia has also been teaming up with Miguel Palacio, one of Spain’s most characterful design stars, to create Hoss Intropia Miguel Palacio, a capsule collection which exudes individualistic yet classic Spanish style.

The freshness and originality of Hoss Intropia when partnered with the spirited sophistication of Miguel Palacio make us dream happy thoughts. Smart, striking, yet the pretty detailing keeps this dress sweet and Spring-time fresh.



Also check out pics from the opening of Hoss Intropia’s latest flagship store -in Rome, late last year- here.
