by Gabrielle on November 5, 2009

Dolce and Gabbanna AW09

Dolce and Gabbana aw09

When Personal Shopping all my clients want a dream dress. One, that makes your heart sing. One that makes you look thinner, taller, more beautiful…… This is it. The instore version has no belt and is sleeveless. It comes in rippling black silk, dusky rose with burgundy, or fuschia pink. Dolce and Gabbana dresses are a big favourite of mine lots of structure makes everyone look amazing!!

Paul and Joe

Pierre Cardin for Paul and Joe

The fashion pack at London Fashion Week were all wearing sequin jackets. Alexander Shulman Editor of Vogue wore silver over a blue T Shirt. This is the nicest version I have seen. Midnight blue and fitted- really gorgeous.

DKNY

DKNY

For Xmas at DKNY a spectacular sizzling red number. This is so easy to wear, skims over the tummy, cut slim at the sides for maximum flattery, slims, elongates  and its fun!!

Balmain AW09

Balmain AW09

This is my personal favourite of the Balmain dresses. Sensational cut, sensational colour and pricey!! Lots of copies around but this is undoubtably the best.

Burberry Prorsum AW09

Yesterday I was walking down Sloane Street with a friend who was taking photos for Vogue. I have lost count of the number of people I have seen wearing this dress……or the snood with black jeans and black top……. or the boots which I personally hate!! Add it together=maximum chic. Also often spotted the mac with the pie crust collar in soft grey.

Victoria Beckham AW09

Victoria Beckham AW09

We should all support our own and Brit Victoria Beckham has created an instant sell out collection. Everyone bought dull grey but look at the burgundy, much more interesting!

Pinko AW09

PINKO AW09

From chic high street giant Pinko this low backed, tight Balmain inspired dress, affordable, wearable chic.

alexander Wang Aw09

Another clever dress, Grecian inspired one shouldered in plum that will suit Autumn women. Cut to hide unwanted bumps from Alexander Wang.

Whenever I went to Galerie LaFayette in Paris, I would come home with Pinko!! Some of my most favourite clothes are from this shop. Look at this Tuxedo jacket beautifully tailored, peplum waist, fitted. Worn like this for a classic style or over a sweet or  black lace dress which is what I am wearing at the moment. A style that Madonna and Alexa Chung have copied!!! Mix classic tailoring with the softly feminine.  Personal Stylist Choice.

Italian women tend to be small and curvy. Like many of my clients and indeed me! We can’t do the long boyfriend jacket without becoming swamped. Trust me very few clients I have are a size zero and 6 feet tall! Pinko is sexy, this is a great LBD and will flatter if you have a bit of a tummy by accentuating the waist at a higher level. Party! Party! Look at asymmetric neck.

This beautifully cut jacket will suit slightly taller women,5`6” plus etc. Not as long as the classic boyfriend and more wearable. Note the detail long, long arms that push up to add extra style. Also fab boots and great pants.

REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES

As the Leading London Personal Stylist I have clients from all over the world,my clientele is mainly upmarket women. Are these women size zero? Absolutely not.

The most common body shape is hourglass and whatever their size my hourglass clients complain that fashion does not suit them. They are right.

I am a UK size 8 – US size 6, I have not bought a pair of trousers for 6 years, many of my clients are the same.  This is not a size thing but a shape thing. I have curves. Is fashion missing a trick? I refuse to wear hipster trousers. In fact, I refuse to wear anything that does not suit me.

 

If you have a waist, hipster trousers cut in at the wrong part of your body. However slim you are the result is a roll of flesh. Elegant? I think not.

 

Hipster skirts ride up and down as the hourglass has no defining flat area, so tops hang out and you are left with about 6 inches of spare material at the back, as the “too big” top will end up on the waist. This makes the skirt unflattering at best, and it looks like you are wearing someone else’s clothes, a much bigger someone. 2 sizes bigger in fact.

 

To overcome this fashion has designed lots of nifty tops that are either empire line, i.e. cut under the bosom or smock based, i.e. baggy. These were originally designed for preganat women. For the past two years my hourglass clients have all the same complaint. “I can’t wear trousers any more. Skirts no longer suit me, the tops don’t fit me and make me look pregnant.” Many like me refuse point blank to buy them and have very few clothes as a result. I am simply too style conscious to wear clothes that don’t suit or fit me.

 

I would like to reiterate that the majority of women have hourglass shapes.

 

So some style rules for the most desirable shape on the planet.

 

Wear fitted clothes.

Celebrate and exaggerate that great waist.

Refuse to buy hipster skirts and trousers look for high waisted styles.

Buy tops that are fitted and shaped to the waist.

Wear short fitted jackets.

Buy fitted shift dresses.

Choose pencil or slightly A line skirts.

Belt whenever you can.

 

Vivian Westwood, Roland Mouret, John Galliano, Dolce and Gabbana,

Karen Millen, Pinko, Tara Jamon,Thakoon, Victoria Beckham all make for the hourglass.
