Alexander The Great

Lee Alexander McQueen,(17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) was a British fashion designer and couturier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows. He is also known for having worked as chief designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001 and for founding his own label under the name Alexander McQueen.His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the CFDA's International Designer of the Year award in 2003.

Ayumi Hamasaki and Lady Gaga have often incorporated Alexander McQueen pieces in their music videos. By wearing his designs, celebrities such as the above mentioned have further increased the notability of the McQueen brand.

My personal favorite      



By the end of 2007, Alexander McQueen had boutiques in London, New York, Los Angeles, Milan and Las Vegas. Celebrity patrons, including Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker and Rihanna, J-Pop Queens such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Koda Kumi have frequently been spotted wearing Alexander McQueen clothing to events.

Sarah Burton, the creative director for the legendary, recently deceased Alexander McQueen, has the fashion world buzzing with the dazzling, fitted, long-sleeved lace gown she designed for Kate Middleton.

Alexander Mcqueen will always be one of my all time favorite designers.
It is a huge loss for the world of fashion.

That is all for now,hope you have enjoyed my Obesession Du Jour.

Much love,arrivederci!!!

White lace dresses aro no longer for brides only 

This trends as always started on the runways, and while there were white lace dresses galore to choose from, we'd like to draw your attention to the wonderful examples in Ralph Lauren and Brioni's S/S 11 collections. At the former, I noted a cowgirl couture vibe, where Victorian-inspired lace frocks were updated via charming western and silver accents. In the above runway look, Lauren paired a long-sleeved Embroidered Donovan Dress with a Small Fringe Bag with Beading  and Jerina Sandals. The contrast of the rustic accessories with the sweetly delicate frock keeps the overall look from being too costume-y, and results in a wearable ensemble that works well for a number of occasions. At Brioni, creative director Alessandro Dell'Acqua showcased a handful of awe-inspiring, shin-grazing, white lace dresses, like the Rebrode Sleeveless Lace Dress above.

I hope you have enjoyed my Obsession Du jour,that's all for now!

Much love :)

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins

Grammy Winner

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins(born 5 May 1988), known professionally as Adele , is an English singer/songwriter. She was the first recipient of the Brit Critics' Choice and was named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of 2008 in an annual  BCC poll of music critics. In 2009, Adele won two Grrammy awards, at the 51st Grammy Awards.
Adele attracted the attention of XL Recordings with a three-song demo posted on MySpace and then signed with the label. Since her debut, 19, Adele has received much recognition both commercially and critically. The album debuted at number one, and has been certified triple platinum in the UK. Her career in the US was boosted by a viewer record-breaking Saturday Night Live episode in late 2008. Adele released her second album 21 on 24 January 2011 in the UK, The album was a critical and commercial success, selling 208,000 copies in its first week in the UK and debuting at number one on the UK Album Chart, The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in the US, selling 352,000 copies in its first week.

"Someone Like You" held the number one position for four consecutive weeks. The Official Charts Company announced that Adele is the first living artist to achieve the feat of two top five hits in both the Official Singles Chart and the Official Albums Chart simultaneously since The Beatles in 1964. 21 has spent eleven consecutive weeks at number one in the UK, the longest ever by a female solo artist on the UK Album Chart, surpassing Madonna.

Adele's new album called 21 is an extraordinary album,whoever had a broken heart or a relationship that has gone bad can relate to it. In this album Adele pours out her heart,in "someone like you",which is my favorite song by the way,she tells her ex boyfriend "who would have known how bitter sweet this would taste?!",which person can't relate to that?!

Hope you have enjoyed my Obsession Du Jour,Arrivederci.

Miu Miu Spring/Summer Collection 2011

Ciao everybody,I wanted to start my blog with this amzing brand,which I personally ADOREEEEE!!!
The beauty of Miu Miu in my opinion is that it has a lot of influnces in their collections,always manages to re invent itself and timeless.

The gorgeous bags...ahhhhh.

 70's inspired..

Miuccia Prada is the amazing woman behind this brand.

Color blocking is at home in this collection,you can find bright blue, green, pink, red and whatever color you may think of. But it’s the accessories that really make a difference here: the oversized signature sunglasses, the large handbags with a handle and a long strap and, most of all, the shoes. We have, on one hand, high heels and wedges, lace up booties and strappy sandals. On the other hand, you can find rubber sandals and ballet flats – so comfortable for this season! Playful colors are mixed with neutral ones, as you can see.

That is all for now,hope you have enjoyed my obsession du jour.

Love you all,arrivederci!!!
