News: Met Gala "Model as Muse"

With this year's Costume Institute Met Gala being themed "Model as Muse," how perfect was it that Twiggy and Agyness Deyn were photographed on the red carpet together. Each channeling a different look, both British models who are strikingly similar played up opposite sides of their androgynous looks each wearing Burberry. Agy is our modern day Twiggy being that she is skinny, blond, has cropped hair, and a neo-mod style. The two looked flawless together; a match in fashion heaven!

Trend: Pop Prints

Unleash the artist inside of you and explore the trendy canvas of this season's prints. Looking very much like a silk screen by Warhol himself, this Oscar de la Renta dress references a subtle pop art approach to prints. Of course you can always go bolder with colors from Andy's pallet. Though watercolors are nice, there is something that pops in a silk screen inspired dress, I guess that's why they call it pop art.

Trend: Life's a Beach

As summer is slowly approaching, the new trend for evening wear reflects the beaches we are all so desperately longing for. Typically beach inspiration reminds us of varying shades of blue and green, but this time we are skipping the swimming lessons and heading towards the sand. Create a sandy evening look by choosing caribou colors or even a pale taupe (the spectrum of sand hues is vast, so go with what looks best on your skin tone). The movement of the wind through the sand on a summer day is inspiration for soft layers of whispy tulle lining your legs. Free-flowing and anti-structure is the way to go with this trend because we would be caught dead wearing a sand castle.

Trend: Above the Rest

What do you stand for? You don't need a soap box to get your views out there when you are wearing the new kind of platform pump. This shoe is a pump basically smacked on top of a ridiculous platform. It is a more architectural way to go about getting more height without crossing into red light fashion. Looking like a surreal sculptor's dream, who knew your 6 inch pumps needed a raise?

Trend: Degas Baby!

What happens in a tutu stays in a tutu. Edgar Degas' delicate ballerina paintings come to life through dresses resembling a leotard and tutu. That ballerina blue hue gives a soft romance to a more distinct approach at capturing art in motion. Looking like you just stepped off the stage, embrace the time you have while raising the barre.

Trend: 4-Eyed Tree-Huggers

Handmade wooden frames take classic shapes such as the "ray ban" frame above and act as though mother nature herself did the dirty work. This wooden glasses frame trend can be found at Urban Spectacles, where they can custom make a pair of their eco-couture creations (they are one of a kind after all, and good for the environment).

Trend: Boho-bleak

Boho chic, or should we say boho bleak? The trendy new spin on the ever-so popular boho style is edging it out in a darker, more punk-rock way. Still incorporating loose eccentric prints, this boho bleak style adds darker shades than the traditional hippie vibe incorporates. Wear your hair down and enjoy free-flowing tops, but when reaching for your boho brown belt, pick up a studded one instead.
