Karl launched at Net-A-Porter

Finally the luxury online store Net-A-Porter exclusively launched Karl Lagerfeld's new collection Karl. The line is based on black and white items and looks ever as cool and sleek as one might expect from Karl and as he told Net-A-Porter magazine "A white shirt, jeans and a jacket are the three basic things that everybody needs".



Naturally the launch of Karl's line was quite a spectacle with five pop-up store windows debuting in Sydney, Berlin, Paris, London and New York City . The biggest event took place in Paris where models wearing the new collection and holding iPads and Lagerfeld balloons drew attention to the pop-up window. 




If you want to get your hands on any of the pieces you better be quick, we can be sure this will be sold out fast!

Dior Autumn/Winter 2012

Yesterday Dior presented its new Autumn/Winter 2012 Haute Couture line at the Paris Fashion Week, visited by front row guests Bar Rafaeli and Cameron Diaz. The dresses remind me of the stylisher version of the Stepford wives, but I love it. So chic, so elegant, very 60s. Also loving the models classy make-up with a thick black eyeliner. Here I am showing you my favourite dresses from the show:

WTF Fashion Part I

OK, so I decided to start a new series...called "Fashion WTF". My tribute to all designers that make me think "WTF were you thinking?!". 


So here we go, my highlight of the day: Bernhard Willhelm, the Austrian designer and his show in Paris. Please pay attention to the head bands... No further comment needed from my side I guess.





Pregnant Alessandra Ambrosio hits the Runway


These Victoria Secrets girls are just a bunch of wonder-women I start to believe... They walk the runway skinny as ever only weeks after having a baby and now Alessandra Ambrosio shows off her baby bump (if that's even the right word for it) five months pregnant for Brazilian label Colcc in Sao Paulo. Jealous? Hell ya!

The end of Hollywood's dream teams

Finally after almost a week without blogging (due to a little accident with my right hand in the kitchen) I am now back and unfortunately with shocking news... The divorce of Heidi Klum and hubby Seal is confirmed! 




Rumors have been around for a few days now and I was surprised to see Heidi alone at the Golden Globes. Last night the former dream couple finally told US magazine "People" that they decided to go separate ways. I am really devastated about these news I must say. Not only because I love Heidi (as I previously admitted several times) but especially because Heidi and Seal seemed to have the perfect marriage and for 7 years they have been renewing their vows every single year. You never read about fights or drama...the 38-year old supermodel and the 48-year old singer were always so much in love. Who would forget the infamous duette "Wedding Day" at the 2007 Victoria's Secret fashion show?! Now I really lost faith in celebrity marriages! The reason behind the divorce is apparently the hectic schedule both of them have, with Heidi shooting the latest season of "Germany's next Topmodel" in Germany and Seal being the judge at Australia's "The Voice". Their lives drifted apart but they remain friends and "still love each other very much". I hope they will really remain friends, especially for the sake of their four kids...


Another couple that I did not expect to split up is Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. 




After 14 years the French singer's and US actor's relationship is said to be on the brink of collapse. Johnny Depp made an appearance at the Golden Globes without his girlfriend and mother of two children whereas Vanessa stays with her family in France. During her recent promo event for her latest movie in Paris, she even said she didn't believe in marriage because "if you lose your soul mate everything is done for you".


I hope there won't be any more divorce or split announcements anytime soon!

Golden Globes 2012

Last night it was the start of the award's season 2012 with the 69th Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. There were some clear style trends to spot, from cream and nude colors to mermaid dresses. Here I am presenting you my favorite dresses and also my least favorites...




Angelina Jolie looks like a goddess in her one-shoulder Atelier Versace with Lorraine Schwartz earrings and ring.




Nicole Kidman in a Versace dress, Fred Leighton jewels, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and Roger Vivier clutch.




True Hollywood style came on the red carpet with Charlize Theron in her Dior Couture gown with an over-sized bow at the waist. Her jewellery is Cartier and I am especially loving the 1920s hair band.




Kate Beckinsale looked stunning as usual in a white strapless Roberto Cavalli gown.




Modern Family star had a little misfunction on the red carpet with her zipper "exploding". Still she looks fabulous and I am loving this vintage nude lace Dolce & Gabbana dress.




Sheilene Woodley was showing off her body in this amazing Marchesa dress with Tabitha Simmons shoes.




My favorite model Heidi Klum paired her cream backless Calvin Klein dress with matching shoes, and handbag, as well as a Lorraine Schwartz necklace.




Not everyone wore cream and nude colors, The Help's Emma Stone opted for a maroon and fuchsia pleated Lanvin gown with jeweled eagle belt buckle.



Colombian-born Modern Family star Sofia Vergara looked elegant in a night blue mermaid cut gown by Vera Wang which showed off her famous curves. 


Salma Hayek looked like a modern Cleopatra in this bold Gucci gown.

Now let's have a look at my least favorite dresses:


Kelly Osborne is one of E!'s Fashion Police critics, but honestly, what was she thinking?! The hair color and this dress make her look like grandma gone Golden Globes.


Lea Michele from Glee wore this metallic Marchesa gown which simply had too much going on for her.
