It's Party Time! Post Oscars 2012, Vanity Fair party.

Jennifer Lopez in a copper shimmer Zuhair Murad dress

Elizabeth Banks in a feather detailed Chadwick Bell gown (my favorite look during his runway show)

Salma Hayek in crimson Yves Saint Laurent

Emma Stone in Chanel

Sofia Vergara in heavenly Roberto Cavalli

After the Oscars, one of the biggest party in town is the Vanity Fair Party, everyone who's anyone in tinsel town goes to the this party to rub elbows with peers and industry leaders- Im hoping to talk about the next great project!
With all the debate about her Red Carpet gown, I know Jennifer Lopez must be thinking "Kiss my Ass Bitches!" because she looks absolutely stunning in this copper shimmer Zuhair Murad dress. I still loved her red carpet gown, and this is just the icing on the cake.
Actually the after party pictures were dominated by lovely latin beauties. Sofia Vergara is amazing in her Roberto Cavalli dress, and Salma Hayek drop dead gorgeous in her crimson red Yves Saint Laurent gown.
Elizabeth Banks was another favorite in her feather detailed dress by Chadwick Bell, I knew this was a red carpet worthy dress when I saw it come down the runway during NYFW, and she pulled it off well!
Now, where's my damn invite to the party? Most importantly what would I wear???

Yves Saint Laurent menswear F/W 2012-2013: Tailored Leather

Since taking the helm for Yves Saint Laurent, Stefano Pilati continues the rich history of the house and its impeccable tailoring and timeless silhouettes. Many fashion enthusiast may criticize Pilati for his lack of use of color and sometimes overly drab pallette, but I for one praise his aesthetics and how he stays true to what he sees as luxurious clothes modernized.

YSL's menswear F/W 2012 collection reminds one of the 1960's era Moscow, well tailored espionage, a bit dark, mysterious, but overall alluring with a sexy air of 'James Bond-esque'. Although the inspiration is vintage, one can clearly see from the slim fit jackets and vests, to the skinny leg ankle cropped trousers on luxe wool textiles that the cut and silhouette have definitely been modernized.

Throughout Men's FashionWeek one of my favorite pieces are the trench coat length jackets whether in leather or wool. In YSL's case (1st Picture Above) the fur lined lapel and collar trench coat is one show stopper that I fell in love with and is a must have for any fashion closet.

Another mention worthy about this collection is how leather trims were skillfully incorporated into classic conservative pieces like a double breasted blazer and jackets. In many cases such a risk would cheapen an ensemble, specially a 3 piece suit, but in YSL's case leather trims only help exude refinement and class throughout the collection.
