News! Gucci is 2009’s hot designer…

So, the word on the street is that Gucci is going to be the name on everyone’s lips this year. I have my trusted sources telling me that the Gucci range this year is going to be streets ahead of other names, and it is definitely the designer brand to be buying.

From the clothes to the bags, Gucci is going to be everywhere in 2009. The celebrities will be dripping in the finest couture and making us mere mortals positively drool at the sight of the Gucci branding. My suggestion is to start saving now; maybe treat yourself to one of those gorgeous bags or a purse to replace the one that is looking just that little bit tired – the choice is yours, but the designer name is a given.

The best thing about Gucci is that it is perfect for so many different age groups – from the discerning lady to the young gent, Gucci is classic elegance that reflects timeless designs and quirky styling.

If you’ve always fancied indulging in a piece of couture, then why wait? Check out the new Spring / Summer 09 collection online at Gucci now.

Hot Designer Clothing Alert! Everyone is Lovin’ Lanvin

Okay, so when i saw that picture of Coleen Rooney in that stunning Lanvin ruffle top, i thought “wow – this is hot!”.

Lanvin is a clothing company founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1909.

Jeanne Lanvin’s successors include Antonio del Castillo, Dominique Morlotti, Jules-Francois Crahay, Maryll Lanvin, Claude Montana and Patrick Lavoix. Their work has successfully immortalised a very Parisian, elegant couture style. (Source: http://www.infomat.com/whoswho/jeannelanvin.html)

Today, Lanvin’s designs are chic and elegant. It is almost hard to believe that a once velour tracksuit loving chav like Coleen Rooney has managed to turn this all around and become a force to be reckoned with in the fashionista stakes. When i saw her wearing that lush burnt orange Lanvin ruffle top, i thought it looked stunning on her tanned complexion.

The same top in a different colour also appeared on fellow WAG Alex Curran (now Gerard). So which WAG pulled it off better? Well, personally, i think Coleen did. However, normally i would say Alex is better dressed.

And celebrities in Lanvin doesn’t stop here my fashionista friends! Kate Hudson was also pictured in a  gorgeous blue Lanvin dress. Was it the right colour for her? Well, many will say yes, but i think it was a little too heavy on her pale skin. A lighter blue would have looked much less “bulky” on her. Still a gorgeous dress though!

As for my favourite Lanvin piece, i think Natalie Portman has found it! This season, purple is the hottest colour to be seen in and she looks simply stunning in this unusual Lanvin creation.
