The Blonde & The Brunette |
Stéphane Rolland
After spending 10 years at Jean-Louis Scherrer, Stéphane Rolland launched his own couture house with his first show in July of 2007. Today marked his 8th Haute Couture presentation and his finest. The show was presented at the Palais de Chaillot, across from the Eiffel Tower. The beautiful collection was largely composed of a stunning [...]
Heaven On Earth: Chanel Haute Couture
Karl Lagerfeld worked his incredible magic to create one of the best Chanel Haute Couture collections we’ve seen in several seasons. The Spring/Summer 2011 show was presented at Pavillon Cambon-Capucines (on Rue Cambon) to a very appreciative crowd that loved every look. There were the classic suits, dresses and ensembles, but many were shown with [...]
The Stars Went All Out For The Art of Elysium Ball
The Blonde and The Brunette are a bit behind on our coverage of The Art Of Elysium “Heaven” Ball. It’s always the night before the Golden Globes and just as packed with young Hollywood.

Sci-Fi Shimmer

Intense and vivid colors of red, blue and green predominated on a mainly metallic fabric which [...]

Each one was a masterpiece of beautiful fabric washes and embellishments that paid tribute [...]

The massive image covers more than 2,800 square feet of the museum’s exterior along the Seine River and is made of 1,200 hand-assembled gold colored [...]
Men’s Socks
Socks. In the past, socks were just something you put on in order to keep your feet warm. Recently though, they have become a fashion statement for us women. In general, socks don’t receive much attention by men as they are not often visible under their pants…that is, until you sit down! Then, they become [...]
The Skinny
I received a very special package filled with new denim styles from 7 For All Mankind. I was so excited to try all of them but I grabbed their brand new the skinny Cropped and Rolled because it’s been so hot in LA lately (so sorry to mention this to everyone in cold climates). They’re [...]
How Do The Fashion Pros Ship Their Clothes? WorldNet.
Here’s another BnB fashion scoop.

Or what about clothes for [...]
