Fairy tales and glamorous decadence at 2010's Golden Globes

Awards shows that take place at the year’s debut are the best preview of the upcoming spring season’s top trends. Golden Globes is my favorite award event (next to the Oscars, of course) and this year it was such a visual treat. Amazing, unique looks compensated for those several disappointing winning results (for me, anyway). So here are my favorite looks:

Keep your shoulders strong!

The bold shoulder was a quite shocking trend when it reappeared on the fashion scene two seasons ago with Balmain jackets, Balenciaga tops and Givenchy couture. Not many dared to try it as the rule was you have to be as fierce as this new style.

Maria Lucia Hohan's girlie glam credo

Posted January 7th, 2010 by Dora P.

Maria Lucia Hohan is one of those quiet designers who steer clear of the gossip scene while focusing on developing a strong high-fashion brand. The result is red carpet recognition at the most important film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, BAFTA) and an international marketplace: MLH is present in big cities like New York, Tokyo, Copenhagen, Oslo, Athens or Singapore and online also.

Pantone color report, published this September, brings news of optimism in spring 2010 fashion. “Splashes of sunshine” is next season’s motto inspired by vibrant hues seen on New York runways.

Lively bright shades: soothing Turquoise, Amparo Blue, romantic Violet, gleaming Aurora yellow and refreshing shades of orange (Fusion Coral) and red (Tomato Purée) add a sense of joy while luxurious but practical neutrals (bubbly Pink Champagne, warm beige Tuscany, the ultimate green Dried Herb and the cool gray Eucalyptus) complement what you already own in your wardrobe.

Clothing gifts for your man

Yes he’s a grown up and makes decisions on his own although I know you still decide on your man’s wardrobe. Making him look like coming off the pages of a style magazine is your secret ambition, isn’t it? From now on look no further than online store Ssense that gathers the coolest labels in both womenswear and menswear from all over the fashion world.

Forward-thinking designers are alphabetically listed from Acne to Z Brand so it really isn’t hard to find your favorite. Swedish brand Cheap Monday is one of my recent choices for its eco-conscious values and high-fashion, androgynous take on wardrobe basics like jeans, tops, sweaters, jackets and trousers.

The end of year 2009 has a very stylish feel from the viewpoint of Gestuz, Danish brand established in 2007 by Sanne Sehested Nielsen and Lene Boesen who succeeded in offering “popular, high profiled but reasonably priced clothes with the best in quality”.

Oak store has a lot to offer

I’m just drooling at the new goodies in store at Oak Nyc. I’ve always loved Oak’s fashion-forward, androgynous take on feminine wardrobe basics and if I were a filiform tall beauty it would be my dream store; but I can’t live without a glamour dress to fit my feminine curves.

Luckily, Oak's selection of coolest/edgiest booties, hobo bags and jewelry I’ve seen are a match for every body type. I’m in love with the cobra killer bag, from km rii and with the studded starburst bootie, $198.00, from Jeffrey Campbell. And don’t you just adore the white ball hobo bag from Olivia Harris that just goes perfect with the silver multi-chain bracelet, $124.00 from less?

I love a unique piece of outerwear and swedish designer Camilla Wellton knows how a standout coat should look. The fall/winter 2009 capsule collection of black wool coats and jackets gained a great deal of interest on her Stockholm-based prêt-á-porter/eco couture/ made to measure label.
