Sarah Jessica Parker Sex and the City 2 London Premiere

Last year, we loved Sarah Jessica Parker‘s iconic pale green Alexander McQueen dress and butterfly-covered Philip Treacy hat that she wore during the the Sex and the City world premiere way back in London in 2008.

This 2009, for the London premiere of Sex and the City 2, Sarah Jessica Parker went for a black silk and lace bustier archive gown from Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer 2008 line with a clutch from McQueen’s pre-fall 2010 collection and pre-fall 2008 lace shoes. To complete her stunning look, she had a black tulle cloud by Philip Treacy to compliment her sleek blonde locks.

Surf Report

Alex Chatelain, Vogue, May 1979

Normally surfing and the arts means crafts and sunset paintings, but I have always been a huge Bruce Brown fan. I am also fond of artist and curator Tripoli Patterson, bringing surf to the art world.

Rick Owens / Salon 94

Frank Lloyd Wright allegedly instructed the women living in his homes which clothes would be most appropriate for which rooms. Conversely, I love when fashion designers extend their vision to environments, everything is so tactile and seductive. So what does Rick Owens' dreamworld look like? Lots of alabaster and mink, the coldest of worlds, the warmest. This is a utopian set for Less Than Zero or Det perfekte menneske. More at Salon 94.
