DVF iphone app

DVF's iphone app came in quite handy for my weekend gala search.
It lets you view the Spring 2010 and Pre-fall 2010 collection with just one touch.

















Not only do you get the latest update on DVF, there is also an exclusive section that sells the DVF signature wrap dress to celebrate the launch of their new app. DVF iphone skin with the Spring 2010 lip emblem is also sold exclusively through the app. To place your order, simple email or call them.

Michelle Obama - Inaugural dress

(This is probably the only time we get ourselves involved with politics...)

It wasn't Calvin Klein, neither was it Diane von Furstenberg.

The creative brain behind Michelle Obama's inaugural dress was Cuban-borned American Designer, Isabel Toledo, who is known as a master in geometric and pattern shapes.


The pale gold sheath dress (with matching long coat) was just perfect for the significant occasion. Without a doubt, the "shiny armour" complements her complexion impeccably and we love how the silhouette appears fashionable yet very graceful for a first-lady. Deliberate clash of emerald green pumps was a great effort by Mrs Obama to deviate from the often cliché styles of first-ladies.

This isn't the first time that Mrs Obama wore a number by the talented Parson Graduate.

In fact, Obama appeared at a New York City fashion world fund-raiser in a black outfit by Toledo last June.

And in case you're wondering, none of them made it.

Style Damsel - LA/ New York Fashion Week

So it was fashion week at SmashBox Studios and the Big Apple.

TV Celebrities and celebutantes are slowly making their way into SBS and Bryan park.

Just last week, we witnessed the first ever Lauren Conrad's collection - inspired by her recent trip to Paris -at the Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week. Her dresses are simple, and almost all ended off the same lengths. If you ask us, the collection lacks-lustre, an absolutely bore, and totally not worth your money.

You can't really call yourself "international designer" with these. We are not sure if she got the white ones from grandma's curtains.

Then we have the younger sister of the Hilton heiresses, Nicky Hilton. Who created a whole range of equestrian-meets-bondage co-ordinates that wasn't really the highlight of the day.
Yes, we all guessed it!
Sadly, everyone, even the media, had all their attention on her scandalous sister's new beau, Benji Madden of Good Charlotte. (and nothing on the runway)

Stop living in your sister's shadow!

Poor Nicky, even WE don't remember what her collection for Nicholai was all about.


Over at sixth avenue, Diane Von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson, Matthew Williamson, Bill Blass, Aussie duo, Sass and bide, and Style Damsel's very favourite, Zac Posen, showed of their next season's collection in an explosion of colors and flowy silhouettes.


At NYFW, it also means, the new season's winner of the Project Runway was announced. Victoria Beckham was the guest judge, and it was a close battle between Jillian, Rami, and Christian.

But in the end, the 21 year old AIU, London graudate, Christian Siriano took home the coveted title and also US$10,000 for being the "fan's favourite".

We heard Posh Beckham had even asked him to design some outfits for her.
(Still, we love Rami Kashou for his expertise in his craft)
