I looked over the new Alexander Wang Resort 2011 collection earlier today, and thought there was something vaguely Kate Moss about it:

Same top:

Similar top:

Long sheer dress:

Similar shoes:

And to prove I’m not grasping at straws…
All the Alexander Wang models have the exact same hair style Kate Moss had in a 1990 Corinne Day photoshoot. It’s easier to see the braids on the brunette model:

It’s just too weird to be a coincidence.

TREND: Miu Miu sets the tone for 2010 Grammys Red Carpet

Posted in By Em, TREND by styleinspades on February 1, 2010
There is no question that last night’s color of choice was…well a lack of color I suppose. Nude is definitely in style for spring.
.
Additionally, nude with a little sparkle seems to be the look people are going for.
Most likely, inspiration came from the Miu Miu SS10 runway.
