Issa and Net-a-Porter Launch a Capsule Collection

When Kate Middleton announced her engagement in a sapphire Issa frock, the small London-based label became the hottest tag on the market. This April, Net-a-Porter is giving shoppers the royal treatment with an Issa cocktail capsule collection stocked with dresses that "can be worn from the beach to the office and then onto the red carpet," according to designer Daniella Helayel. If you're a fan of Middleton's navy palette, expect a short, lace-sleeved number in the same hue. Otherwise, opt for Helayel's India-inspired jewel tones and flirty silhouettes. If you can't hold out for the capsule collection, check out the kaleidoscopic Issa designs available at Net-a-Porter now!

Spotted at Paris Fashion Week Fall 2011

Shala Monroque is elegant in a fur-trimmed coat and whimsical necklace.

The orange underside of her hat gives the look a wonderful pop of color.

An otherwise casual look gets a dose of drama with a sheer, trailing cape.

Ringletted sisters Sama and Haya Abu Khadra show off their Chanel looks.

Zanna Roberts Rassi's got another winner on her hands with this leather jacket-long skirt combo.

Anna Dello Russo channels the world's most fashionable Fabergé egg.

I've been touting plenty of colorful looks for spring, but if you're committed to head-to-toe black, here's a master class in how to wear it.

How best to show off your swingy trench and circle skirt? Twirl.

Street style photographer Mr. Newton now turns his lens on the chic women on the streets of Paris during Fashion Week.

Candice Swanepoel Dominates the Runway at PFW

Sure, Miranda Kerr walked the runway again at Balenciaga and Adriana Lima was seen in Givenchy's lineup, but the award for best Victoria's Secret model-to-Paris Fashion Week transition would have to go to Candice Swanepoel. In her first Fashion Week appearance since the Fall 2008 season, she rocked Stop Making Sense shoulders at Stella McCartney and Ghost World specs for Givenchy, got red-faced and avant-garde at Viktor & Rolf, and looked fetching in pink python for Christian Dior. She also hit Isabel Marant this week. What's next for the VS beauty — a luxury campaign, perhaps?

Speaking of Lux

Prabal Gurung

Peter Som

Alexander Wang

Wes Gordon

Jason Wu

"Luxury" is an overused term in the fashion lexicon. But this Fashion Week, an undercurrent of true luxe has been emerging. Whether it's fun furs at Prabal Gurung and Peter Som, feathery nothings at Jason Wu or a sweater-topped, shredded evening gown at Alexander Wang, there's plenty here to delight those who love to make a statement. 24-year-old up-and-comer Wes Gordon got in on the uptown-lady action at his presentation, held at the St. Regis.

Atelier Versace Collection S/S 2011

I could not be who I am or do what I do as a fashion fanatic without brands like Versace—A constant fountainhead of jaw-droppingly gorgeous womenswear. My connections at the Atelier Versace have sent me the latest from the house, "Each dress can be altereted in shape, fabric, colour and embroidery." She Say's… 

And... With the Oscars just around the corner I'd say, January Jones take your pick! *ggls*

The Best Dressed of The Golden Globes 2011

Black begone! This year the red carpet came alive with color — emerald green (a favorite of the evening), feminine pinks, festive metallics and sultry reds. Red-carpet veterans, Armani, Versace, Calvin Klein and Lanvin, delivered gorgeous gowns for deserving ladies, while a few sartorial surprises took my breath away. An expectant Angelina Jolie opted for Versace in of-the-moment emerald green, Leighton Meester had a leg o' mutton moment in Burberry Prorsum, and Anne Hathaway showed off a bold-shouldered Giorgio Armani Privé. Check out my picks for the standouts of the evening.
