After the last of the fall openings today, the jury for ''The Gold Eye'' award, sponsored by Revlon, met for the fifth consecutive season at lunch to choose the Christian Louboutin designer who best captures what was termed ''the spirit of today's fashion.'' The selection process was swift and painless. Most of the 31 members of the jury, members of the international fashion press, turned up at the St. Andrews' Restaurant at the Milan fairgrounds, where the shows are held. They were handed a ballot as they took their seats. There was no discussion and no campaigning - jurors simply filled in the name of the designer of their choice.
Pia Soli, the fashion editor with christian louboutin shoes of Il Tempo in Rome, called out each jury member's name. The jurors then deposited their votes in the ballot box. Miss Soli read each vote, and within minutes it was clear that Gianni Versace had nosed out Fendi for first place. Krizia came in third.Versace Thanks Jurors and Co-Workers.
'Never before have we done this,' says Ralph Toledano, chief executive of Chloe, a division of Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA, which recently lowered wholesale prices 10% on many items in its cruise and summer collections shipping to U.S. stores now. 'This is an unusual time. You have to be creative at this moment.'Luxury-goods companies have been feeling the pinch as sales of high-end trinkets have slowed. Third-quarter sales at LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA, which includes the Vuitton and Fendi brands, rose 3.1%, decelerating from 5% growth in the first half. Italian jeweler Bulgari SpA on Thursday posted a 44% drop in third-quarter profit and said 2008 revenue growth would be lower than previously expected.
The fall shows begin Friday in London, where Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is giving a reception for retailers and the press at 10 Downing Street on Saturday evening. By the middle of next week, the action will move to Paris. For most viewers, the first act in Milan has been thoroughly satisfactory, boding well for the next season.From Yves Saint Laurent to Fendi to Christian Louboutin to Valentino, the shoulder bag is my favorite predominant spring shape.She and Nonjuicy must have been warned that Kim is a total low-life even relative to your average reality TV hanger-on, because they did not take any of her excuses.Christian Louboutin does make some of the finest collections of shoes and bag and this is just one example of his gorgeous creations.
For those who would rather go the faux-snakeskin route (or who would rather have a similar clutch in a neutral instead of a bright), check out the MaxMara Embossed Evening Clutch for less than half the price of the Louboutin bag.It is on this day, February 10th 2011, that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York officially opens its portals to lure us all in with a plethora of beautiful garments, stunning accessories, flashy celebs, and elaborate shows.The Louboutin clutch definitely wins on color and material, but I think I prefer the structure of the MaxMara bag better.
