Christopher Kane presented a starkly beautiful collection. Embroidered  silk dresses, PVC, Leather and Bondage shoes.

Christopher Kane AW2010

The collection according to Kane was a mix of juvenile delinquents and the WI, and was supposed to be Priscilla Presley before Elvis got his hands on her…….. Dark thoughts?

Christopher Kane AW2010

Here we have hand embroidery and lace on a leather shift.

Christopher Kane Aw2010

Priscilla maybe would have worn a little navy hand embroidered jumper with a black kilt, the sleeves are slashed- kimono style.

CELEBRITY WATCH:THE BURBERRY PRORSUM SHOW HIT OR MISS?

by Gabrielle on September 23, 2009

Burberry2 (2)

Leading Personal Stylist Gabrielle Teare  at Burberry Prorsum critiques Celebrity Style. Photographed by Darryl Vides Kennedy. Here is Emily Watson in Burberry, as their new face she stole the show and outclassed the fashionistas, simply stunning! HIT AND HOT!!

Burberry48 (2)

Jaquetta Wheeler chose Velvet!! Must have been reading my blog!! Velvet in regal royal purple looked amazing and accentuated her aristocratic face. Lovely!! HIT HIT.

Burberry30 (2)

Mary Kate Olsen dress needed a short chic jacket,  not this winter black coat, and the glasses are too heavy for her face, boots look wrong with the elegance of the dress and indeed the warm evening. MISS MISS.     

Burberry28 (2)

Model Agyness Deyn in Burberry looked beautiful but just too like a 50’s housewife wearing a party frock. The pop socks look plain and awful, the brogue boots are too heavy for the dress. The jacket’s padded shoulders are Spring Summer defined but the colour clashes with the dress, as does the bag. Overall MISS MISS.    

Burberry74 (2)

 Liv Tyler wore a boyfriend jacket and short skirt and looked wonderful. Close up her luminous skin and just got out of bed hair made her utterly beautiful. And this is an amazing photograph from Darryl- well done!! HIT

Burberry4 (2)

Lee Na Young the Korean actress wore a 50’s style dress, but the  heavy winter too- warm wool coat made her look pear shaped and short. This look is not helped by sturdy boots which also shorten the leg. Leave this style to the naturally tall and leggy. MISS.

Burberry57 (2)

Jasmine Guiness looked chic, glamorous  and tall in a Chinese Nehru collar jacket over matching coloured dress. The colours beautifully celebrated her dark glossy hair. The black clutch and oversized pearl ring added elegance and feminity. HIT!!

Burberry35 (2)

Presenter Donna Air wore a bronze dress that looked as if it was made from a dish scourer!  The DULL DULL colour  did not suit her skin tone. The badly fitting skirt did not flatter as the A line was too wide, and  the boots killed the outfit. MISS MISS!!!! Come see Gabrielle Teare  Personal Stylist and learn the colours and shapes that suit you.

Burberry67 (2)

This is a very interesting choice of dress for Lady Victoria Hervey,the silver does not suit her skin tone. However she has gold thread in it and a stunning gold necklace which add warmth and allow her to literally shine. HIT HIT!! Next time choose gold, less effort and a better effect. This is the second time in two days she has worn gold and silver together.

Burberry6 (2)

The normally uber-chic Carine Roitfeld Editor of French Vogue has broken some major style rules here. Whilst being in fashion, the combination of deep V neckline and shoulder pads create a triangle effect and accentuate her rather pointed chin. MISS MISS! Needs a  Fashion Stylist!

Burberry5 (2)

 Peter Mandleson, the Prince of Darkness trying to pretend that brown and beige go together and no one will notice this.  A large proportion of men are colour blind, but trust me women always notice.   Needs mens styling! MISS.

Burberry16 (2)

Alexa Chung in Burberry Prorsum looked amazing!! HIT HIT. Dress and Mac work, the colours compliment each other and her skin tone. Fabulous.

Burberry40 (2)

Anna Wintour is clearly having a gold moment since she has worn it every time I saw her this week!! However, it suits her skin tone and hair, the gold jewellery compliments and adds feminity. The sunglasses look wrong and slightly ridiculous, it was 7.30 in the evening and dark!! This is not Chic. 

 The only other person I have seen wearing sun glasses at night is Jack Nicholson and he looked equally ridiculous. However when he laughed and showed his  sexy vulpine teeth all the women just did not care. Funny that!!

MISS MISS MISS!  ANNA,  Purleese accessories should suit the occasion and that includes sunglasses.  

Burberry85 (2)

I like Victoria Beckham she is an Aries like me and is warm, funny and often looks amazing. One of my favourite quotes, to Naomi Campbell when asked “Why do people call you posh? Victoria replied “Why do people call you beautiful? Love it!!

Victoria often looks fab and her clothes line is great as well. The first season the material was shoddy and I personally hated the zips running down to the hemline, made the dress so hard to put on. This season her collection looks great and is much better quality.

However, Victoria looks like an emaciated waif in this. Stick to body con and waisted tight numbers that suit the hourglass. MISS MISS

Freda Pinto wowed the jaded and tired Fashion week crowd in Burberry Prorsum. Shoes were to die for. Fantastic! HIT HIT
