Costume Glitter

Costume National had some of the best interpretations of the LGD (Little Glitter Dress).  The fabric is indescribable - it could be beaded, lamé, lurex encrusted - hard to say!

  

Glitter Shoes

Vogue.fr has had a make-over!  The site is now slightly easier to navigate with more web content.  They have done a wrap up on Glitter Shoes for the season including Christian Louboutin, Balmain, and Brian Atwood.  We got kinda crazy for these Louboutins...  and oh yeah they're 1895 euros.

Dino Glitter

Glitter Lovers Rejoice!  Yet another season rides the sequin, crystal, lamé covered train of glamour.  We are back to celebrate with one of the last shows of fashion month: Giles.  Whether you like your dinosaurs in a metallic patchwork or snugly bag, look no further...

  

Black Light Glitter

Glitter rainbow, glitter drums, glitter spit!  The Yeah Yeah Yeahs almost convince us that Black Light is ok (dandruff, lint, stained teeth be warned)...

Moon Glitter

Preparing for a full moon birthday... That plus the 40th anniversary of the moon landing makes us fantasize about lunar-themed prints...

Princess Glitter

Gold Brocade Fabric and Gold Embroideries at Marchesa for Resort 2010. 

We will forever now associate Blair Waldorf and her prom dress with the label.

An Effective Use of Lamé

It's apparent that lamé fabrics are a Resort 2010 trend.  Whether incorporated in a jacquard as at Alexander McQueen or woven so fluid that it looks liquid as at Roksanda Illincic, shiny, metallic fabrics are a big deal.  We like it best when used in seperates: tops, jackets, etc.  The full out shiny dress, as seen at Versace or Malandrino, is a little much.  

Yay: Roksanda Illincic

Nay: Versace

We were disappointed to not find some lamé skintight pants à la Menudo, though....
