- 1. • April 2011 Template_Beverly Hills Times Mag. 4/18/11 3:34 PM Page 19 was created during an era when liberty and love reigned; it was created “as a means to shatter the conser- vative couture codes that still held sway” in 1969. Le 69 Paco Rabanne designed bag was the essence of empower- ment and freedom. This season serial collaborator, London- based Judy Blame added his design aesthetic of “movement Chill Metal Cuff and sound” to Le 69, creating Nickel plated aluminumby the Chill Metal Cuff and the Judy Blame Pitch Black 69, both exclu- for Paco Rabanne sively for le69pacorabanne. Zac Posen Zac Posen’s Palais Tokyo runway show was all grown-up and ready for an evening on the town chauf- feured by private jets for dinner, in, shall we say, Buenos Aires Paco Rabanne Bag tonight darling...? Furs would have easily stolen the show if it hadn’t been for Jourdan Dunn wearing an Ox Blood deconstructed gown, Coco Rocha wearing a Navy Ombre Zac Posen Onyx Blood plunge- neck gown and Carmen Kass sweeping the runway in Posen’s grey ombre deconstructed gown. Posen played with teals, navy blues and the occasional burgundy for his F/W ‘11 ‘12 collec- tion. Breathtaking were the silver fox Metamorphosis coat and jacket and the Black Alligator Godet Gown. And Lord knows how those European women love to wear their furs during the dead of winter. Andrew Gn Pleats, tucks and folds. These are the signature elements to Gn’s newest collec- tion. Some of the most memorable pieces from his Left Bank runway show in Paris this season are the shirting. For example, his powder cotton poplin blouse Zac Posen with long tails like a Tuxedo and hand pleated fan-shaped collar, white oversized cotton blouse with hand embroidered leather sequins on collar and cuffs. Other stars of this archi- tectural and sculpted collection are the coats: Taupe silk coat with embroidered cuffs and fox collar, and a white gabardine coat with pin-tucked collar and fox cuffs. Asked backstage about his popularity with the Hollywood crowd, Andrew Gn responded that they are very “selective” about who they choose to wear their gowns to awards shows (Amy Adams at this year’s SAG Awards) and premiers (Emily Blunt, recent London Film Premier) so there are “no disas- ters.” Definitely Gn’s complex cuts and seaming, his hand- stitched detailings, are so flattering to the female form.
