It would be impossible to be in fashion and not obsess about Kate Moss. Her cool bohemian style has made her one of the biggest style icons of our time and she is one of the most gorgeous and successful model even though she is near her 40s! With her big day coming up, all the magazines, tweeters, bloggers and fashion industry have been speculating what her dress would look like, who would design it, what shoes, accessories would be wear. Being such a principal figure of the fashion world, all eyes were on the bride and she left nothing to be desired. Take a look at the amazing gown designed by her dear friend Galliano. The gold sequin detail in the bottom is to die for.
Le Petit Tatin (The little "apple")
Focusing mainly in my biological and chosen homes, this blog will emphasize fashion trends and news in Brazil (my place of birth) and New York City (my chosen residence for the past 6 years). Brazil, as an up and coming market, and New York as the world's fashion capital, this should be a interesting mix of cultures, tastes and most importantly style.

New York Shopping Style
While walking in the Meatpacking District I couldn't help but notice the Levis store window display. There are two men and two women mannequins getting married as they wear some Levis clothing and display the merchandise. In front of the store was also a chalkboard written, support marriage equality, a very great way to call the tourists and New Yorkers attention to the vote that was to be passed.
Marc Jacobs also did the same thing and even engaged the public to participate and support marriage equality. Its very interesting to see the store displays be used as the designers voice and support social causes they believe in.
Gay Pride in New York City
Since this is a little off of the fashion topic, I'm going to leave it short and sweet. After so many celebrations and decorations throughout the New York streets for the gay pride, even the Empire State Building, known to change the colors of its lights to honor an event, choose a rainbow. Gorgeous!
McQueen Exhibit
After a few months of hearing wonderful things about the Savage Beauty exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. While you aren't suppose to take any pictures, my friend Alicia Rountree, who's blog you should check out - http://www.alicias-blog.com/- is a pro at taking discrete pictures and was kind enough to share them with me. This is the one reason I would prefer to have an IPhone in these hours and not a blackberry. Anyways, take a look at the exceptional dresses and looks this genius put together.

Colors of the Rainbow
While we've been seeing a lot of color on the Milan and Paris shows, this is the first body paint we've seen. Today in Paris, Walter Van Beirendonck's show called our attention not only because of the many different spring pastel colors sent down the runaway, but due to the turquoise, orange, green and pink body and face paint the models surprised us with. It was quite an interesting approach, to highlight the importance placed on color this collection. Check out some of the looks.
Tribute to Galliano
After all the heated trial session, Galliano is receiving a little tribute. Designer Bill Gaytten, the head of the design team at John Galliano sent the models down the runaway looking like Galliano himself. Just like in the old days, when Galliano himself ran the show. Due to his current problem with the French government, which he was gone to trial for anti-semitic statements, he was fired from LVMH and unable to attend the show. So, seeing a little bit of the designer's presence on stage, was quite a nice gesture of Bill, and had the audience talking. Here are some of the first images from the show.
