High Class. Oscar de la Renta SS13

Oscar de la Renta dresses all the high society girls: first ladies, first daughters, Hollywood a-listers and Wall Streeters gathered with the rest of the fashion pack in his New York studio to see what he'll be having in store for them.

The classic woman gets some edge this spring: whether it's in the skin she shows, the bold colours and embellishments she wears, the pink streaks in her hair, or her latex shirts (yes, that shirt in the first look is latex) she's definitely not your everyday lady.

The daywear was sharply tailored with strong emphasis on the waist; the cocktail dresses were just as sharp. But those gowns... oh, those gowns. Each one was a tsunami of passionate romance that hits the eyes and drowns the soul. Each gown more glorious than the next, it just makes you want to cry out in a Carrie Bradshaw voice, "Oscar de la Ranta!"

Side note: I've never thought about having an overall "favourite dress ever" but that feather dress at the end (you'll know it when you see it) is number one on my list.

GOLD GOLD GOLD!

US VOGUE was kind enough to put a preview of one of their June issue editorials on their website. Country Strong features supermodel Karlie Kloss and some of the best male US Olympic athletes in what I think should go down as another VOGUE classic.

Styled by fashion director Tonne Goodman and photographed by Annie Leibovitz, here's the shoot that inspired my very awesome new header.
