Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart on the Cover of Interview Magazine

Interview is one of my favorite magazines to look at because of there artistic take on things. They not only focus on fashion but art, music, and culture really giving the full effect of the industry that I love so much. With the new movie Snow White and the Huntsman coming out soon the magazine featured Kristin Stewart and Charlize Theron. Sometimes I am not so in love with Stewart, but this is by far my favorite photo shoot of her and I have to say she really does look mature. Charlize Theron, of course, looks stunning in all the shots, shot by Mikael Jansson. With the actresses seeming to rule the red carpet lately, stylist Karl Templer gave them a bad-ass clothes to shoot in giving the pictures an awesome dark aura. 

Stewart is wearing a gorgeous Lynn Ban necklace with RJ Graziano earrings and on Charlize is a Nina Ricci necklace... that I'm slightly obsessed with.

Met Costume Gala 2012

This year the Met Gala, hosted by Anna Wintour, was quite a success with guests such as Gwyneth, Kanye, and even Tim Tebow (who showed up in a fantastic Ralph Lauren purple label tuxedo). Everyone came in dazzling gowns with fantastic color and drape. A lot of the best dressed had gowns with particular embroideries and accessories that really made the dress look eye-popping. Most of the dresses I favored happened to have gold in it, whether it being the dominant color or it just being used as accents, it really made the dress timeless.
Here are some of my favorites from the night:

My favorite! Met Gala chairwomen, Carey Mulligan, in a Prada halter style dress with silver and gold sequins and Neil Lane jewels

2nd best for sure! Camille Belle in Ralph Lauren... a fantastically beaded dress giving it a twenties inspired look

Lana Del Rey came in a custom embroidered Joseph Altuzarra gown and cape.

Scarlett Johanson in a Dolce & Gabbana dress

Renee Zellweger in an Emilio Pucci dress

Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries wore a Donna Karan Atelier gown with fantastic chiffon fabric used to make a perfect drape.

January Jones from Mad Men wore Versace with a gorgeous Cartier necklace

Lily Collins from Mirror Mirror wearing a Valentino gown

Cameron Diaz in a champagne embroidered silk Stella McCartney gown

Diane Kruger in a crepe silk Prada gown with an Ostrich feather trim... I'm strangely in love with this dress

And the hottest couple award goes to...

Tom Brady in Tom Ford and Gisele Bundchen in Givenchy

Spring/Summer Ad Campaigns 2012

It's the time of year again when the ad campaigns slowly get leaked out and I slowly wait to see who is getting shot and where. I could not wait to see Valentino's because I knew the red dresses would be flaunted. So of course I had to put that first. Ad campaigns to me are all about the wait the models are posed. I love seeing the geometric shapes within the bodies to see how the clothes are presented. I absolutely love the Versace campaign with Gisele, the colors all work magnificently together. So here are some previews, and you know as soon as more Valentino shots get released I'll be sure to post...

Ahh I have literally been waiting for the first one! Bette Franke, Maud Welzen, Fei Fei Sun, Zuzanna Bijoch, posed for the Valentino Spring/Summer 2012 Ad campaign shot in Pozos, Mexico!

Paris Fashion Week - Givenchy

Givenchy's Winter Couture Collection this week was really a winter wonderland. The long flow to the white dresses and the chic nude, see-through dress were superb. Now might I say the white feathers were a little much on some of the dresses giving it almost a dove like look but who knows that may be what he was going for. Here are some of my favorite items from the 2011-2012 collection:

I wish I could show the front but it shows a little too much skin for this blog ;)
