On The Campaign Trail: The Supers

The Supers- pronunciation;\ˈsü-pərs\
Function: noun
Date: Late 1980's
Means: Models who are the creme de la creme. Fashion models that rose to fame by understanding their craft and attaining sustainability in a superficial world. Women {and mens} faces who never go out of style because they know how to represent their product.

Excuse my poor definition of "The Supers" {I'm not Websters after all}. This year has been the resurgence of the Supermodel. All of the top models are resurfacing with big ad campaigns this year and with more on the slate to come in 2009. Naomi just recently bumped gal pal Kate Moss from Yves Saint Laurent and Linda Evangelista also scored big at Prada {Both are featured below}. So why all of a sudden a new interest in them? Simple! Because these women know how to market themselves. They don't over extend their looks and select few projects to ensure the freshness of their product! Let's hear it for The Supers!

Prada-Wide Legs or Flares

Several designers began rolling flared pants onto shelves, announcing the skinny-jean look of the last few seasons may finally be over. Prada, known for their oft eccentric extremes, really stretched the look when they re-introduced the ultra-wide mega flares of the ‘70s.
The print campaign for the Fall/Winter 2008 collection shows checkered pants that are skinny to the knee, then dramatically balloon outward. Not a look just anyone would be comfortable in.

What's old is new again. And I say, "Go on wit' yo' bad self, Prada." I personally happen to like wide leg pants. Depending upon who's doing them you get to see just how very creative the designers are. I could totally rock a pair of these pants without even giving it a second thought. They say, "Me." They are the perfect expression of me in denim, in plaid, in the pattern shown. I'm not saying I would wear them quite often but I would wear them for something different, strictly for me and if you don't like it so what! That's why there are "Individual Styles." Now I would probably have to do some serious consideration of what type of shoe I would wear. I mean I could go retro and choose a pair of wedges or I could go modern and pick a pair of stylish heels. I can think of so many different ways to wear wide legs. Looks like I'll get my chance this fall!

Joseph And His Technicolor Dream Bags?

Well not Joseph, but Prada and they happen to feature on of this seasons most sought after trends, patchwork. Prada's "Nappa Tote" has been in high demands since it made it's debut at Milan Fashion week. It's currently sold at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman and due to it's high demand, you are only able to order three units per item within a 30 day period. {Tell your friends to forget it} I personally like the metallic Nappa tote, but then again, I like bright things.

• Prada Stripped Nappa Tote $2,360 available @ Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman
• Prada Stripped Metallic Nappa Tote $2,135 available @ Neiman Marcus
  

• Gucci Hysteria Handbag $3,150 available @ Bergdorf Goodman

Following in the footsteps of bright color combinations for spring, Gucci's Hysteria handbag is my favorite of the bunch. This would be great for those Saturday afternoon's shopping. Remember to hurry ladies an inside source tells me that they are going fast.

Notes On A Sandal

It's almost summer and I don't know about the rest of the world but I happen to have a minor (well not minor) obsession with sandals. If I weren't in cold, wet, rainy weather, I would probably wear them year round. And as powerful women, we all know that there is nothing that makes us feel better than a feminine, sexy sandal (unless you have bad feet, then I don't know what to tell you). Upon shoe shopping I found dozens of shoes that I just couldn't wait to share with you guys.

(Shoe Descriptions got from left to right)

• Stella McCartney- what more can I say, I L-O-V-E these shoes.
• Chloe's Patent Leather Sandals remind you of the mod-squad. But they are ever so cute to me. Urban and funky.
• Betsey Johnson fun, bright,playful and flirty. What can you say abut Betsey besides she's a genius. She's so much fun.
• Prada Patent Flower Sandal- This shoe has some major artistry. It reminds you of those art projects that you used to do back in elementary school. Oh and of course it brings back that famous chunk heel.
• L.A.M.B. by Gwen Stefani, these shoes are adorable and simple.
• Prada
  

(Shoe's ordered from right to left, counter-clockwise)

1. Christian Louboutin's Zipper sandal says FIERCE! and if you f*** with me I'll mess you up!
2. Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Sandals- It's a continuation of the Yves Saint Laurent Tribute that became so popular last year (See sexy peep-toe that women killed for). This beautiful shoe has a 4 inch platform heel and it's reminiscent of a ancient Roman Sandal. This shoe comes in two colors, blue and tan. They are available on NeimanMarcus.com
3. Stuart Weitzman's Bogus Satin Platform. These beauties come in black or pink. Think Espidrille meets your favorite Louboutins. Available at Stuart Weitzman boutiques and Weitzman.com.
4. Guiseppe Zanotti's Jeweled Fish Sandal with a heel at three inches but enough bling to blind even the sharpest of visionaries and enough luxury to make you weep for St. Tropez. This strappy number is immaculate. Perfect for office event, or of course, you cant dress them down with your fave pair of skinny jeans.
5. Emilio Pucci Satin Twist Slingback- Pucci, known for his colorful print scarves has decided to turn his scarf into a shoe. This very cute ensemble is good to go, not to mention that is could go very well with several different outfits.
6. Gucci- Patent leather sandal that comes in two colors, glossy gold or stunning black. I picked these shoes because they just "SCREAM" sexy. You can wear these with a pair of jeans or with that cute little dress you plan on wearing to dinner.

Want A New Wallet?

While I was busy looking in my purse this morning I noticed that I WANT A NEW WALLET. So you guessed it, I'm goin shoppin.' I looked at the wallets from Louis Vuitton and I would have to say out of all of the wallets in that line, I like the "Eugenie' Wallet" most of all. It's got twelve credit card slots, two pocket back sacth, an exterior pocket with a zipper clousure, and a transparent pocket for my license. Went over to Prada to look and see if they had anything and wouldn't you know it they had this lovely, yet very functionable "Saffiano Metal Oro Continental Wallet." Definitely a looker. This one goes on the contender list right along with the Louis Vuitton. Coming in not too distant third for consideration is a Burberry's "Haymarket Molly" wallet it's a definite maybe. So there you have it my top three choices. I'll make a decision within a week.
