Tilda Swinton in Givenchy Fall 2009

In our dreams, Tilda Swinton, wore this Givenchy Fall 2009 dress. She looks so chic, no? Perhaps the Venice Film Festival will see her in more of Givenchy?

Chloe Sevigny in Lanvin Resort 2010

Chloe Sevigny in a head-to-toe Lanvin Resort 2010 look. We think it looks super-chic, but also very light. Alber's Resort collections are always very tongue-in-cheek with their colour, and over-the-top qualities. But we LOVE it! Especially given his monochromatic Fall collection.

Alexa Chung in Stella McCartney Fall 2009

Alexa Chung in Stella McCartney Fall 2009 dress and boots. Perfection, no?

Chloe in Balenciaga Fall 2009

This was a quick one, so forgive the bad photoshop! But skills aside, Chloe in Balenciaga is our dream. We tried the printed dresses but they did not work as well as this look (Exit No. 1). She looks amazing, no?

Diane Kruger in Miu Miu Fall 2009

Diane Kruger in a modified Miu Miu Fall 2009 look, with a Prada Fall 2009 clutch. Fabulous, no?

Kate Bosworth in Lanvin Resort 2010

Kate Bosworth is another one of our muses here at YvesYves. She is beautiful, charming and not pretentious like 90% of actresses out there. Judging by her red-carpet choices, Kate is a fan of Lanvin, Chloe, Stella McCartney etc. So naturally, we combined two of her favourites to create this look.
The dress is from Lanvin Resort 2010 and the shoes are Chloe Fall 2009. They work well together, don't you think?

Diane Kruger in Prada Fall 2009

Diane Kruger looks amazing in anything. Period. We just wish sometimes she would wear something other than Chanel! Like this Prada gladiatiore dress. She looks amazing, no? Simple make-up and paired down shoes make it more appealing we think...

Anna Wintour, Prada Fall 2009

Anna Wintour in a Prada Fall 2009 red suit. Enough said. She absolutely rocks it, no?

Alexa Chung in Balenciaga Fall 2009

Alexa Chung is amazing and needs no styling whatsoever. That being said, we wish she would ditch the Luella, Marc by Marc and start wearing Chanel and Balenciaga. She has the perfect body-type to pull off all the runway pieces that do not work on celebrities, don't you think? Here, we put Chung in a Balenciaga Fall 2009 dress. She looks AH-MAHHHH-ZING, no?

Chloe Sevigny in Prada Fall 2009.

We know this isnt the best photoshop job (especially circa the arms, eek!) but heres what our muse Chloe Sevigny would look like in a Prada gladiatore dress. We think the shoes strangely work with this look, no? Thoughts on this one?

BACK for Spring 2010!

HI all,

Sorry about the serious serious lack of posts. Hopefully, I'll be able to post more often this season!

So without further ado - here is Kate Bosworth in Prada Resort 2010. Perfect for Kate, no? Thoughts?

Jennifer Connelly in Prada Spring 2009

Jennifer Connelly is one of those actresses who look chic and fashionable no matter what you dress her in. She has a very unique approach to red-carpet-dressing and is not afraid of wearing Balenciaga pieces that various critics deem 'unwearable', 'unmarketable' and not 'realistic'. Jennifer is BOLD and daring with both her film roles and her fashion choices. Here we dressed her in Prada Spring 2009. The crumpled imperfection set against Connelly's clean and sophisticated demeanor really work for us, don't you think?

Chloe Sevigny in Balenciaga Spring 2009

So the Balenciaga collection by Ghesquiere was GENIUS. I loved it loved it loved it. And what a profound statement Nicolas made when someone asked him "Is this the future?" and he responded with "No, for me this is Balenciaga for today.". Of course I'm paraphrasing a little but he was completely and utterly right.

How many times can we look into the past and reach for the distant future? We need fashion for TODAY.

Now, I've seen Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Connelly wearing the metallic dresses from the collection and honestly - they looked like boring party dresses. To make it interesting one needs to either keep the jersey-tops worn underneath OR the leggings and shoes combo. Not both. One or the other.

So without further ado - Chloe Sevigny in Balenciaga Spring 2009. So avant-garde yet soooo chic, no?

We're BACK !!!

Summer is here and we're ready to create NEW looks with the brilliance that was Spring 2009.

I won't bother reviewing any of the collections since everyone is entitled to their own opinions and the subjectivity of fashion means that we shouldn't force our reviews/opinions/frustrations on the free world *cough* STYLE.COM *cough* :)

But heres my highlights from Spring 2009...

TOP 5 Collections according to Yves Yves
1. Balenciaga
2. Jil Sander
3. Burberry
4. Calvin Klein
5. Prada

Disappointments of the Season
1. Yves Saint-Laurent
2. Lanvin

Model of the Season
Sigrid Argen

Suprise of the Season

Shoes of the Season

Those, potentially iconic Prada shoes. They will go down in history as both some of the most intriguingly beautiful shoes but also the most dangerous shoes, no?


Bag of the Season

Nothing particularly unique on the runway this season. Although, I must say those metallic-alligator-crocodile clutches from Balenciaga are seriously damn COOL.



They're the perfect accessory for Spring/Summer. I can see Ashley Olsen wearing one with her uniform of The Row t-shirt and ksubi jeans, no?

STYLE Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett wears Givenchy Fall 2008 blouse, pants and shoes.

We don't know WHY Cate won't wear more of Givenchy. Shes more or less a modern day Audrey Hepburn. Yes, we said it! And we don't care if you turn on us!

:P

Cate would wear Givenchy like no other. She looks perfect in their mix of feminine and masculine, no?
