The September issue; and Kate is all over it.

The September issue is here again and surprise, surprise theres a model on the cover. American Vogue has had celebs on the September issues for the past couple of years. What better way to transition back than with Kate Moss in McQueen. She looks stunning on the cover haven't seen the layout as yet but her  friend Mario Testino shot the wedding and the layout.  Theres a great article from Hamish Bowles covering the wedding. I especially love what he wrote about the dynamics between kate and Naomi. Click here to read the article.-your Dealer.

Mexico City Style.

 For the past couple of weeks I have been on the west coast; Los Angeles and Mexico. The style on the streets of Mexico City was impressive. I was shocked to see so many natural blondes. But Mexico City seemed to be a very diversified city. There were men and women of all shapes and sizes. Their style ranged from bold and brave to demure and eloquent. There were girls in silk,floral printed dresses accessorized with an  indian headdress or paired with colorful Aztec jewelry. On the more reserved side girls paired bright colored blazers with hot shorts and the season's it bag. I was so inspired, my last night I decided to pair the two aesthetics together and disturb Mexico City with leopard  shorts, sheer button down, a turban with feathers in it and tons of vintage bangles.
 The guys were very rocker or surf inspired. Many of them wearing board shorts around the city with knit hats and boat shoes.  And the occasional rocker tee with animal print or skin tight jeans, and boots. There was a lot of black, which pleased my heart because there's nothing chicer than black. The gays of the city were more experimental. Mixing womenswear and menswear together, the womenswear being the more standout pieces of the look.

 Shopping in Mexico City made me excited, everything seemed ridiculously cheap. I found perfect black harem pants for 10 pesos, I'm not even going to tell you how much dollars that is because it's less than a dollar.Score. Tons of black and bright colored tanks for under 20 pesos. A plus for me, I live in tanks all year round. The downside of shopping in Mexico City seems to be sizing. I was a bit confused, thinking maybe they have a different sizing system or something. Everything fit smaller than I thought it would/should. I kept having to go a size up, which triggered me to stop eating soft tacos and instilled a fear of looking in the mirror and seeing a larger image staring back at me. Gasps. Maybe that explains the low prices, little use of fabric? But after it was all over my first trip to Mexico City surpassed my expectations.-your Dealer.

Louis Vuitton 2011 Fall ad campaign.

After seeing the shows earlier this year for the fall 2011 season, Louis Vuitton was one of my favorites. Marc Jacobs out did himself not only with the exceptional clothes but also the set up of the runway with elevators and the presence of many of his supermodel friends walking the runway. We all can't forget the fabulous Kate Moss ending the show in lingere and a sculpted coat smoking a cigarette. So I was so interested to see what the campaign would feature. To my surprise no supermodels were selected. Instead the Steven Meisel shot campaign features Zuzanna Bijoch, Gertrud Hegelund, Daphne Groeneveld, Sun Fei Fei, Anais Pouliot and Nyasha Matonhodze, all under the age of 21. The campaign is graced with these fresh modern faces. Sticking to the show's theme of call girl and the clothes' vibe of cab drivers the shots or just that. The girls are photographed staring bravely into Meisel's lens clutching gorgeous bags, in furs and cab driver hats while holding the most pampered/expensive looking doggies ever. But what everyone is talking about seems to be the age of the models and the status of their careers. They're all relatively just starting out making a name for themselves. The youngest Nyasha Matonhodze, 16 (in red) has been getting tons of press not only for her age but her professional work ethic and the prediction of how far her career will go. She's also the brand's new spokesmodel. I'm very happy to see a variety of faces in a huge luxury brand campaign.-your Dealer.

Current Music obsession: Selah Sue.

So the other day my best friend (who's now living in England) and I got together for our usual Skype session. Her hello was "So I peed on someone today, how was your day? I have an artist you're gonna fall in love with." And boy did I, after listening to Selah Sue's Raggamuffin I wanted to know more. What she looked liked, where she's from, and every other song she has ever done I wanted in my iTunes library. Her distressed cotton candy-esque hair, thin frame and doll like features surprised me. I didn't expect that voice to come out of someone that looks like that. But the 21 year old Belgian singer already had me hooked with her emotional lyrics and voice. She has performed with Cee-Loo and was the supporting act for Prince's tour. Hit producers from LA made her some offers. But the highly independent artist that she is decided it wasn't her thing. She ended up choosing a small french record company to record her debut album, Selah Sue. Check out two of her songs below.-your Dealer.

Oh CHANEL, be still my heart.

The Tale of a Fairy is a short film written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld for the 2011/12 Chanel Cruise collection. It stars Anna Mouglalis, Chanel ambassadress, Amanda Harlech, Kristen McMenamy, Freja Beha, Bianca Balti, Baptiste Giabiconi, Brad Koening, Jake Davies, Mark Vanderloo, Oriol Elcacho, Sébastien Jondeau, Seth Kuhlmann and other friends of Karl and the Chanel house. “It is a movie about an ill-advised use of money which begins with violence and ends with feeling,” Karl said about the film. The acting isn't that great but the presence of 90's supermodels Mark and Kristen and top model Freja makes up for it. The clothes are exquisite, they're regal and eloquent. The styling is just very well done. After watching it I died, came back alive, died again, came back alive  watched it a second time then died all over again.-your Dealer.

MetGala 2011.

The MetGala was last night. Honoring the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" exhibit at the Met opening this Wednesday. So it was no  surprise that the almost everyone graced the red stairs in McQueen. To my surprise the models out did the celebs. Hollywood stylists apparently need to step their game up. I had a hard time choosing a top 5 best dressed so I did a top 10 and wouldn't even bore you with the worst dressed. So if tacky-bad style is your love, visit another blog. These 10 looked elegant while making a statement.

 Naomi in custom made McQueen of course. This dress is impeccable on her skin and the detail work is perfection.

 Brooklyn Decker took a risk in hot pink and it paid off. The model stood out in a head to toe Michael Kors.

 Eva Mendes in Stella McCartney stuck to the season pleated trend in this royal blue frock. And just the right touch with a gold mirrored belt.

 Christina Ricci with Zac Posen in Zac posen was glorious in this spider web gown that showed off her tiny waist. It was said that the gown was so large she needed help getting out of her ride. Now thats my kind of gown.

 Andre Leon Talley inspires me always in what he styles on  others. But it's his signature gigantic caftans that steal my heart. I want a cheetah print one. Thnx.

 Diane Kruger in Jason Wu with the designer was the look of perfect sex appeal with that high slit.

 Editor-At-Large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan in McQueen with and egg on her head.Dead. So good the jacket was my favorite look from the collection with its slit shoulders.

 Raquel Zimmerman looking stunning in McQueen.

 Dotzen Kross went simple on the hair and makeup to compliment her Giambattista Valli gown. She looks stunning.

Florence and the machine in straight from the runway YSL. She looks like an angel.

Now for the honorable mentions. There was just way too many good looks not to post em.

 Madonna in Stella McCartney dress, which was appliqued with gold sequins stars from her hips all the way down to the end of the train. She was one of the last to arrive of course.Sadly without Lourdes, maybe next year.

Head Bitch in charge, Anna Wintour in custom made CHANEL.

Karen Elson in McQueen, she wore this dress on the runway of his 05 show. And looks just as exceptional.

Joan Smalls in Tom Ford was also the designers date along with Carolyn Murphy.

Liv Tyler looked stunning in yellow and white Givenchy Couture with Givenchy's hot designer Riccardo Tisci as her date.

Crystal Renn looking svelte in Zac Posen.

Natalia Vodinova in Valentino with designer himself. Love the pleating and bubble detailing on the thighs.

Rihanna in a sexy number (of course) by Stella McCartney. At first glance I thought it was a bit too slutty, but what the difference a long side braid could make.

And sounding it off is Daphne Guinness heir to the Guiness empire, long time friend of McQueen and owner of her friend Isabella Blow's extensive and lovely wardrobe. Wearing the finale feathered dress from Sarah Burton's '11 collection for McQueen. she also got ready in the Barney's window for this event.
Well thats everything I adored from this year's MetGala and hopefully next year my invite won't be lost in the post.-your Dealer.
