Forget working, we’re too busy trying to emulate the bangin’ choreography and the warrior-like costumes. While we’ll have to wait till never to get our hands on the Gareth Pugh, Emilio Pucci, Alexander McQueen, Givenchy Couture and Jean Paul Gaultier we’ve pulled together a list of readily available items to quench your Beyoncé thirst for the time being. WHO RUNS THIS MOTHER?

NYFW diary: Vera Wang, Marc by Marc and a private appointment at Tom Ford

MARC BY MARC JACOBS Spring 2011. Photography by Peter Stigter

Yesterday was a gem of a day. Along with my morning tea, I started the day previewing fine jewellery designer Monique Péan’s gorgeous new collection.

While there was no sign of First Lady Michelle Obama (who reportedly counts Péan’s pieces among her faves), it was inspiring to see how many other fans this CFDA runner-up has gathered in such a short time.

Speaking of fans, the NY social set, including Marina Rust, Marjorie Gubelmann and Helen Lee Schifter, was glossed, polished and freshly blown-out for the Vera Wang show. Gubelmann brought along her gal-pal (latest project?) The Hills Stephanie Pratt, who lit up when Elle’s Joe Zee crossed the floor to introduce himself.

Wang’s spring show was decidedly drab in comparison to all of the nudes and dusty desert hues seen this week. Among the many black on black looks (hey, she is a New Yorker after all) there were a few floral prints for those looking to colour their world come spring. Signature Wang accents were woven throughout the collection–a tulle trim here, a jewel encrusted neck plate there.  Perfect for the toughened up modern-day romantic. Read more »

HERVÉ LÉGER BY MAX AZRIA Fall 2010. Photography by Peter Stigter

Designer Max Azria and his wife (and creative director) Lubov know how to throw a good party, or at least how to dress for one. This season the infamous Hérve Léger bandage dress comes in a fresh array of creams and blushes, with a few tried and true black versions thrown in for good measure, er sales. Amongst the numerous body-con dresses with grid patterns, sheer panels and tiers at the hip, we spied one fabulous pair of leggings–black of course–with intricate lacing details that gave them a tough motocross vibe. We fell instantly in love.
