Limited Edition Heidi Klum Collection at Victoria’s Secret

One of Victoria’s Secret favorite angles, supermodel Heidi Klum has released a limited edition beauty line exclusively at the lingerie brand. The Very Sexy beauty make-up collection features five products and it is available at their website. Heidi paired up with Victoria’s Secret make-up artist Linda Hay to create the beauty line. The Heidi Klum Collection Blush ($22) offers a combination of three sparkly colors to deliver a pearl luminous appeal on your cheeks. The Silky Eye Shadow Quad ($20) features four silky powder eye shadows for a long lasting and crease-proof look. The Glitter Liquid Liner ($10) is my favorite as it is the perfect way to add some emerald and gold sparkle to your eyes. The Perfect Lipstick ($10) helps to hydrate and condition your lips with Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, and Tiare Flower and the Lip Gloss ($10) provides the desired shine whether you wear it alone or on top on your lipstick. The products are beautifully presented with Heidi’s signature and a little heart in pink and come in very soft colors for a romantic and natural feel.

Paris Spring 2009: John Galliano

John Galliano said that the inspirations for his Spring collection were “James Gillray and the Queen Mum.” This translated into the giant plumed military helmets, transparent dresses and the many florals. However, one does not need to understand British history in order to appreciate the beautiful collection. By far one of Galliano’s most wearable collections up to date, this was a sweet delight for the eyes. The dreamy flowing dresses made of delicate and soft materials in bright colors were as if taken out of a fairy tale. Floral prints, impressive beading details and the romantic sheer transparency made his dresses the highlight. As the models walked on the runway, one could almost feel that they would fly because of the pretty flowing dresses. In contrast, the location was on the harder side as it was in the industrial garage in the outer suburbs where the Paris metro trains are repaired. My favorite? The dresses and the soft combination of pinks, greens, orange and florals.

Paris Spring 2009: Christian Dior

Very atypical collection for the extravagant John Galliano as the clothes were so femininely wearable. Short beautiful dresses with sheer skirts, exotic python and animal prints and fire colors like orange and pink were among the favorite standouts. Although, the collection may have seemed a bit too conservative for the creative talent of Galliano, it certainly showed a softer, younger side of the designer. And I literally cannot take my eyes off these hot short dresses!

New York Spring 2009: Vera Wang

“I wanted to play. There was toughness, but also magic kingdom pale neon colors. It was like being an artist; it’s girly with a tough act. That’s who I am. I’m girly but not goth,” says Vera Wang. The runway was rich in mirrored-tile embellishment on stunning dresses and tops, as well as chunky beaded motorcycle belts and bib necklaces. Sheer, organza and embellishments were a delight for the eyes and looked amazing in combination with leather. The talented designer notes artist Niki de Saint Phalle as her inspiration saying, “Architectural, yet feminine, playful yet sophisticated, this collection reflects the optimism and orchestrated cacophony that defined Niki de Saint Phalle.”
