Vogue’s Stylish Faces and Talents of the Moment
Vogue.com

If you manage to get past the cover, the September issue of American Vogue has lots and lots of great content inside. And, as usual, Vogue.com is running a lot of brilliant content in parallel. A good example is their latest feature: "The Vogue 120: The Stylish Singers, Designers, Actors, Models, and More (Under 45) of the Moment" all shot by Norman Jean Roy.
Not only the photography and compositions are stunning but it's so interesting to see who Vogue sees as the influencers of fashion at the moment. My favourite, for several reasons, out of all of them is this one entitled 'The Socials' featuring: Vanessa Traina, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Prisca Courtin-Clarins, Virginie Courtin-Clarins, Claire Courtin-Clarins, Lauren Santo Domingo, Shala Monroque, Alexia Niedzielski, Lily Kwong, and Elizabeth von Guttman described as "the new breed of social slasher: Editors, entrepreneurs, artists, eco-warriors, models, advocates for social change, these women do it all and do it with style, inspiring the designers with their original approach to fashion, from the immaculate to the irreverent".

Last friday Jen Brill and Lauren Santo Domingo hosted a lunch at The Caprice in New York to honour Antonio Berardi. They brought out some of the coolest faces in town –Derek Blasberg, Giovanna Battaglia, Hayley Bloomingdale, Leigh Lezark, Nina Garcia, Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou and Imran Amed among others were all there.
What I love the most about this event is the fact that the guests were served fish and chips, which they washed down with Peroni beer. And I love that because Berardi is all about the marriage of his Italian roots with his British influences from Saville Row.
Antonio Berardi continues his long standing partnership with style brand Peroni Nastro Azzurro. They have collaborated in the past on many successful initiatives in the past such as Valigia Peroni and continue to support his catwalk shows.
I had a chance to take a closer look at his SS12 collection at the TCS press day last week and I was amazed by the shapes. They're not the kind of ostentatious dresses with feathers and embellishment that catch your attention. It's the shapes that seem so complicated in the flesh. Click here to see the pictures.
