Traditional Glamour meets Steam Punk meets Modern Mythical Goth and viola – MET GALA

From Donna Karan, D&G, Balenciaga to Givenchy, this years red carpet for the 2013 Met Gala was truly an homage to 5th Avenue’s unconventional side!  And what a side that was! The annual ball that celebrates the opening of the Metropolitan Museum’s fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute was definitely the ‘A’ ticket of the night!  Celebrities stepped away from the more demure looks seen at the Academy Awards and gave a nice lively boost of ‘mythical punk’ in their chosen eye catching designer gowns.  It was definitely a night showing how art meets fashion.

 

Los Angeles Fashion PR Firm, P3R client’s, celebrity hair stylist Claudio Lazo (owner of C The Salon in Studio City, CA) said Emmy Rossum looked stunning in an antique laced styled by Givenchy.  Of the actresses hair he says, “I loved what Emmy did with her hair!  She is right on trend with her multiple braids twisted and pinned into an amazing up do.  The texture of the hair piled on top is what we’re going to see a lot of this coming season.  It’s romantic and edged with just enough futuristic punk”

Some of P3R’s favorites were Nicole Richie, Katie Holmes (looking as classic as an Audrey Hepburn scene out of a movie), Sofia Vergara, Linda Evangelista (seemingly bringing to life what Ms. Haversham of “Great Expectations” must have looked like as a young beautiful bride to be……but with a gothic aire) Julianne Hough, punk pixie Miley Cyrus and the hostess herself, Lady “B” for Beyonce!  What a nite to have been out to see and be “scene”……as in being a work of living art within the historic walls of the Met!

It’s Up To You New York: Part III

Femininity and glamour. Every woman aspires to embody those two simple words. Today’s wrap-up from New York Fashion Week features designers who design with and epitomize those two elements.

Jenny Packham‘s ’40s-inspired collection of sequined, curve-conscious evening wear epitomizes old Hollywood glamour. Modern touches of cut-outs and open backs make Packham’s line perfect for red carpet picturesque moments.

No one will be surprised if Zac Posen‘s fall collection turns up on the red carpet at the Oscars. Posen’s grand gowns were inspired by the Far East with ornate details and decadent silks elevating glamour.

Diane von Furstenburg and Yvan Mispelaere’s collection was named “rendezvous” which amounted to sexy, effortless French-inspired dressing.  DVF’s bright hues and easy silhouettes are sure to be favorites of every chic fashionista.

Thakoon‘s overtly feminine collection exuded glamour in shades of red, raspberry and fuchsia. His creations complement a woman’s figure and highlight all the right curves.

For those looking beyond the traditional thoughts of gowns and sparkle, Donna Karan‘s tailored menswear inspired suits and dresses exude femininity and a chic sense of glamour for the modern woman.
