Inspired by the tutorial over here, I decided to try the hairbow for myself. The trick is to make the loops tighter than you think they need to be. I’m experimenting with how to wear it, but I think it suits this bow dress pretty well.

Just saw the most recent cover for Vanity Fair…

… and it reminded me of another favorite hollywood spread for VF: the 2008 hollywood cover with the hitchcock spread inside.

Dace has commissioned Dallas Shaw to create 5 different fashion illustrations of models wearing Dace pieces from the spring 2010 collection.

Dace will be giving away these prints to everyone that purchases something from the new collection online (while supplies last). The first 3 customers to purchase something after the mailer goes out will get originals!

I love the intimate presentation that the house has chosen. I find it far more interesting than the majority of current shows where a blank faced model saunters down a long runway and simply turns back at the end. The expressions on the Dior model’s faces are fun and, at times, cheeky. Not to mention that all the images from the show are far more interesting. Remember all the images that appeared after the fall shows? Who didn’t love the pictures of the models outside the Avenue Montaigne headquarters or this shot of a model looking down at the crowd?
