Best dresses of 2010 Oscars

I was really enjoying looking at who wore what at the 2010 Oscars last night and I've picked out my three favorite dresses of the night. Cameron Diaz in Oscar de la Renta. The dress goes so nice with her pale skin tone and just makes her look like a princess!

Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Couture. I've read so many reviews dissing this dress, but I think it's gorgeous. The cut is quite unusual and almost old-fashioned which just adds to it's charm. SJP is NOT Carrie in real life and people should get it through their heads.

Victoria Beckham in DVB. Everything about it is beautiful. The colour, the cut, the detailing. I'm so impressed with Victoria's designs, she truly deserves some credit. This dress emphasizes all her best body features and hides imperfections.

And the award for the ugliest dress on the red carpet goes to..........Mariah Carey. The dress looks cheap and tasteless despite being Valentino. Horrible.

Gaga at the Salon Contemporary

Look what I found while walking home from Starbucks, overdosed on caffeine! It's a larger than life-size sculpture of Lady Gaga at the Salon Contemporary Gallery on Westbourne Grove. The gallery is in my area but I haven't passed it for months which is why i just saw this amazing piece of art today (note to self: get out more). Its by Sarah Gwyer, a British artist who says that her inspiration behind her works based on celebrities is the notion of beauty that we are so obsessed with and desperate to preserve. A modern-day Andy Warhol? Hmm.. She uses mixed media, particularly the stuff that would be considered to be part of women's crafts. Lady Gaga is made out of buttons, badges, beads and God knows what else. I've checked out Gwyer's previous works and they are equally stunning and I think her pieces are a criticism of the contemporary celebrity culture and how celebrities personify beauty. Their beauty is desirable, perfect but...empty on the inside. Anyways, the Salon ContemporaryGallery always has very different and eye-catching (and often jaw-dropping) pieces on display so go and check it out. Gaga forever.

Mad about Alice

Stella McCartney necklace and bracelet Clock studs

Cheshire cat ring

Rabbit ring

Drink me pendant

I can't wait for the release of Alice in Wonderland on the 5th of March. I've seen the trailer in 3-D and it's a visual masterpiece! With actors like Anne Hatheway and Johny Depp it's a guaranteed hit I think. Inspired by the Alice-mania there's been quite a lot of cute things produced by the designers, ranging from Alice bands, tea dresses and jewellery. Stella McCartney has designed a charm bracelet and necklace with little rabbits, hats and cards dangling down. The only thing NOT cute about it is the price, it starts at £235. However, Disney Couture has also launched an Alice range which I think is much cuter anyway. I love all things Alice in Wonderland ever since Gwen Stefani's video What you waiting for from baaaaack in the day. Go and check out the trailer on youtube if you haven't seen it yet.

Moschino Cheap & Chic Fall 2010

I want ALL of Moschino's Cheap & Chic collection!! I love it love it love it! The collection is staying true to the brand and producing fun and easy to wear pieces. It's inspired by the opening of the Maison Moschino , the company's first hotel in Milan and each outfit represents the different types of women that one may see emerging from a hotel. There's the dressed-up lady, there's a posh lady with a Hermes Kelly bag on her head, there's a shopaholic etc. My favorite piece is the pink skirt with oversized black bows on the side, it's so Lolita. The shopping bag with the bold "FULL" print is an echo of the last season's shopper that said "Fashion is full of chic". Couldn't have put it better!

Central St. Martin's MA Show

I was soooooo excited to see what the MA Fashion graduates from CSM come up with! I can only imagine what pressure they must all have felt because everyone has a certain expectation from a CSM graduate. Past alumni include Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Alexander McQueen and Matthew Williamson just to name a few so basically if you graduate from St. Martin's, your career is half-made. The collection had a few interesting and original ideas, but truth must be said, I didn't like some of them. The ready-to-wear Fall 2010 collection included 207 different looks so posting all of them could potentially crash my humble little blog, so I've chosen my favorite designer, Tze Goh.

I have no idea what this designer is all about but i was amazed at the clothes that were shown. There are almost architectural, they don't look like they are made out of textile. How a textile can fall and create such perfect symmetrical creases is beyond me. What i really love is that the "less is more" theory is totally applicable in this case. The colour white is so clean and minimal that it gives the main emphasis on the actual folds, creases and volumes. It makes you look at the actual piece of clothing rather than the "look" it creates.

I think that this designer will be very big and if my prediction comes true, you read it here first!
