I Heart Tamara

If you are a regular you know how much I love Tamara Mellon. I think she is brilliant and I have followed her career forever. I think she is one of THE smartest woman in fashion. Hello people, she is responsible for both Jimmy Choo AND the Halston re-launch.

And I have heard that she is obsessed with collecting vintage Halston pieces. How can we not be long lost BFFs based on that fact alone. I have some saved Halstons pieces just for the day she comes knocking as I would let no one else have them except for Moi.

I love when I can post a great picture of her so was pelase to see this shot of Tamara attending the Met Gala.

I want this jumpsuit so bad I could die. It is insanely gorgeous. I am now in perma lust.

I also had to post this photo since we are taking Halston.
Super model Paulina Porizkova also wore Halston to the event.
Don't you love that color?

I know, I know
I am obsessed
Sigh so kill me
But please ...
bury me in Halston?

BREAKING TRAGIC NEWS

This is the face of complete and utter tragedy. Style.com posted this shot of poor little Natalia's face after someone stepped and ripped her vintage Fortuny during the after party at The Bungalow. My heart goes out to her. Not only is a Fortuny one of the rarest, most beautiful vintage pieces there is to find, but it was a gift from her husband. Natalia, we all weep a little with you and hope beyond hope you can somehow salvage it. Personally I would be calling the New York Fashion Museum and begging their resoration team to assist!

Here is a better picture of Natalia in her Fortuny from earlier in the evening

More Met Vintage

More Met vintage!

Amber Valletta wore yellow James Galanos.
This dress photoed terribly in most shots but I finally managed to find this one where it actually looks OK.

Katie Lee Joel wore this gorgeous little vintage Harvey Berin dress. Its almost as pretty as my gorgeous client Melissa in her Shrimpton Couture Berin dress. I kid, both dresses (and clients) are beautiful in their Berins.

And I am terribly sad to tell you that the vintage gown MK is not really vintage, it was 2007.
What's with the trend to call anything just last season vintage these days?
