Best Dressed at the 2012 CFDA Awards

This year's CFDA awards had me particularly excited for two reasons. The first was the fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were nominated for Best Womenswear Designer for The Row. The second was the fact that this year, for the first time, I voted for all the categories myself. So I feel like I had some part in making Ash and MK the big winners of the night.
The Olsens obviously chose to wear looks from The Row. They felt a bit more summery than they usually do, which probably has to do with the fact that they belong to their latest Cruise 2013 collection. I was also gladly surprised to see Mary-Kate has gone brunette again. I think it really suits her and it sure makes a lot of journalists' job much easier.
Joan Smalls accompanied Michael Kors in one of his designs. I loved the skirt cut and the sort of scalloped hem line. It was very much summer wear but extremely chic and Joan rocked it.
Hilary Rhoda, who has the most amazing eyes ever, went for a silk Rebecca Minkoff number. It was an unexpected choice for an event of this sort but I like the elegant yet slightly casual air of the dress. The colours and cut out details are super chic and they sure bring out her eyes.
No fashion event feels whole without Kate Bosworth so I was chuffed to find her amongst the attendees. She wore Altuzarra and was the designer's date. I was also super happy for Joseph Altuzarra, who won the Swarovski Awards for Womenswear. I, too, voted for him.

I've been meaning to do a post around leopard print jeans for ever since one of my friends consulted me on whether she should buy a pair of grey ones. She was afraid they might be a tad too tacky (the Cavalli overdose through the years has left us with this impression) but I reassured her that a true chic French woman like her could never even get close to being tacky.

And now I even have the visual proof to back me up. Hilary Rhoda is not a French woman but you catch my drift, non? She attended the 'Young Adult' party in New York a few days ago and was very elegantly attired in a faded leopard print Current/Elliott jeans, a semi tucked-in black silk shirt under a tailored black blazer, which she accessorised with a pair of Isabel Marant pumps and a camel scarf.
I had a look around my favourite websites for similar items and found this Sandro washed silk blouse (I love the effect of the fabric), a timeless black blazer from Alexander McQueen, and a Josie Natori cashmere snood.

The Spanish edition of Vogue has been getting better every months in the last couple of years. Even though they're probably one of the biggest titles (after US, UK, Italia and Paris) and somewhat commercial they seldom feature celebrities on their covers. For the April issue they have not only chosen a fairly unknown model but she's also the focus of one of the main stories. And I love that concept! The styling, by Vogue's lead stylist Belén Antolín and shot by Alexi Lubomirski, is not anything that hasn't been done before but the attention to detail make it a treat. I'm also looking forward to Alberto Ammann's story (styled by Marieta Torres), the new Chanel guy.
