Ports 1961 SS 2011


In her 2011 SS assemblage, Fiona Cibani impeccably captured air, sea and sand at its most luxurious. The ethereal collection was brimming with jewel tones. The distinct draping merged flawlessly with the soft silhouettes and iridescent accessories. Silks, cottons and linens highlighted an alluring picture of Summer in the Sahara.

All I can say is wow! Every single piece of this collection is TDF. Freja kinda reminds me of Victoria Beckham in that picture. Lucky you, I would have loved to be front row!

Those dresses on Sigrid & Freja are nothing short of spectacular. I like that you wore those Moschino wedges again.

Did you see any famed peepz front row? Who sat near you?? Props to the photographer. :-)

All of your luck is truly well deserved. Keep it up, proud of you!

I think I saw you on Friday in Times Square? Were you in skinny jeans and a blue top??

Lady Bouvier said...

The truth is that the show was beautiful, wearable, and modern, but gets docked points for a lack of innovation. A collection that references the 1970s but doesn’t look “retro” will sell well, and the two show-ending gowns are bound to end up on the red carpet.
