Pretty Things: Doo.Ri, Erin Fetherston, RVCA, and Hervé Léger



Doo. Ri - Gothic bride meets punk party girl. I fell in love, then in lust, with the sequin and glitter speckled tights. Somewhat reminiscent of daylight breaking against the early morning fog. The half purple, half blue lipstick seems like a challenge to pull off, but once paired with the space age greys and silvers of the clothing (as well as the black as midnight dark eyeliner) it seems to work seamlessly well.


Erin Fetherston -
Alice in Wonderland brought back to life, and revamped in a new light of luxe. The bright pops of red and the strappy platform pumps are all part of this dream like state. Jewel encrusted party dresses, exaggerated bubble skirts, and oversize bows on top, turn this two-dimensional cartoon into high fashion. If I were there, I would love to shake Erin Fetherston's hand, give her a hug and then beg to wear one of her incredible creations. Alice isn't chasing after a white rabbit any longer, or asking a smiling cat questions; instead she's cat walking down the path of her very own dazzling dreams!


Hervé Léger - Body hugging, body conscious; we've heard it all. Lithe bodies, neutral tones and simple designs; all leading to the answer of why Hervé Léger's collections are so infamous for their sex appeal and glamour. This Ready to Wear collection introduced us to knee high, leg hugging boots, motorcyle chic leather, sequins and more overstated accents than we ever dreamed of. All in all, another wonderful smattering of ideas.


RVCA - Erin Wasson, model, designer, stylist and now; visonary. Her line in collaboratation with a skate fashion company, is turning one avid skater's head after another. Whereas before, mainstream designer skate lines where next to blah in the dictionary as far as designs, presentation and overall appeal. Skimmed over in the magazines and passed by in the mall. Yet, Erin managed to capture the true skater by heart and and the true fashionista by nature. The line isn't all girly nor all tomboy. It's a happy mix between street beach chic, casual hippie and a touch of haute bohemian couture; all done in true Erin Wasson fashion, of course. Every one of the items in the varied collections have a piece of Erin, and all of it screaming chic!

  • Happy Friday!!!
  • Planning on a Dog Park Saturday and picnic.
  • I have a little something special to share (in the blog) on Sunday.

Images for my collage all from [NYmag.com] Thank you to StardustandSequins for the paint brushes!

*~The World is My Catwalk~* said...

OH i cant wait till SUNDAY!!!

I love the Doo Ri tights and the RVCA dress!!! Thanks for sharing these with us!

Have a great weekend Erika!!!

Kira Aderne said...

I would love to have some dress from Hervé Léger, always so sexy!!

I also love your shoes sweetie, you are the best!

Stephanie said...

I'm not usually the biggest fan of Léger's pieces because of the kinds of girls (celebs and locals) that i've seen wearing his (very flattering) dresses but this collection was definitely compelling and phenomenal!

Loved the RVCA line by Erin Wasson and i love the cali skate girl meets NYC fashionista proximity because I was really into surf culture for soo many years (until last yr really) when I quit Quiksilver. before that i backpacked the south pacific hoping the explore the culture more. It's a big part of who I am, only now, its more beneath the surface and I love Erin's line because I feel like it's totally reflective of who i was and where I'm headed- it's the wardrobe interpretation of the girl i am right now :)

Your Saturday sounds blissful! I'm going mad here right now trying to finish up for a 5pm deadline and booking seats at the shows at Montreal's fashion week next week- everyone at the magazine is going and I'm using it as an opportunity to hopefully get some streetstyle candids to kick off my "it-girl" feature. Looks like it's going to be one hell of a busy week- I can only imagine what the big scale fashion weeks are like: just manic!

leyandrea13 said...

lol POOR piglet! wtih one less ear i suppose he'll be slightly hard of hearing...i had a giant piglet but i donated it to a cab driver's daughter cos she couldnt afford one. :( bittersweet, huh.
anyways,
i'm kinda over herve, cos max azria's brilliant but its getting realy REALLY overdone. u know it when ppl like heidi montag are wearing it. but erin wasson x RVCA = bloody brilliant! she is unique and so inspirational!
cheers

the herve leger dresses equated to the most amazing dresses of ny fashion week. without doubt.

i completely agree with you about little women! i was outraged when she said that she thought little women was a bore. because he definitely was the main event in that movie.

The RVCA line is so wicked, it makes me want to scream a bit. x
