Vanessa Bruno Looked at Spirits of Revolutionists Past For Her Pre-Fall 2011 Collection

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:36:32 PST

>> For Pre-Fall 2011, Vanessa Bruno drew inspiration from the heroes and heroines of the Bloomsbury Group in England, which was started in 1905 by the writers Virginia Woolf, EM Forster, and others who refused conventional and conservative Victorian ways. So just how did Bruno integrate this idea of liberalism and freedom into her collection? By mixing loose femme looks (demure mid-calf floral print dresses, pops of pink, and thigh-high boots) with masculine pieces like slouchy trousers and boxy coats - all lending themselves to easy movement. We especially love the smart two-toned jacket, seen left.

Fash's Friday Obsessions!

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 14:25:43 PDT

We're experiencing a serious case of Fall shopping itch today and with the weekend upon us, it's time to divulge in some retail healing (or lusting, at least). Our shopping obsessions range a mix of cold weather accessories, from J.Crew's genius two-in-one gloves and Vanessa Bruno's cozy textural scarf to decadent splurges from Phillip Lim and Ashish. Also, we can't stop swooning over Erin Wasson's totem-print Lindsey Thornburg Maxi Dress - she was spotted wearing it at New York Fashion Week - and for the daring, it also comes in a snazzy mini dress version.

Left to right: Erin Wasson in Lindsey Thornburg Maxi Dress ($450), Lindsey Thornburg Mini Dress ($400), 3.1 Phillip Lim Printed Pony Willow Wedge ($575), Ashish Cotton Sequin Check Shirt ($1,450), Vanessa Bruno Athé Alpaca-Blend Scarf ($89, originally $295), J.Crew Convertible Gloves ($98), Need Supply Cherokee Earrings ($84)

Paris Fashion Week Street Style - The Sophisticate

fashionologie — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 20:39:10 PDT

Black trousers are an easy Fall staple, as exemplified by this simple, yet refined street style look from day one at Paris Fashion Week. Notice how the light-colored tee is tucked in to accentuate a high-waist cut - and long legs -while a long printed cardigan and platform sandals complete the play with proportion. Replicate the ensemble with a pair of pleated trousers from Vanessa Bruno, an abstract print cardigan from RACHEL Rachel Roy, and Marni platforms.

Left to right: Vanessa Bruno Pleated Pants ($152, originally $506), Mulberry Alexa Clutch ($817), Urban Outfitters Double Wrap Belt ($28), Marni Copper Leaf Necklace ($510), Marni Platform Sandals ($425), RACHEL Rachel Roy Skinny Cardi ($79), Zoe Tees T-Shirt ($57)
