You can't pretend that everybody likes Versace. It would be boring. It's better to create a reaction than to create no reaction. That's dangerous.

~Donatella Versace

That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.

~Gianni Versace

I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes, where a woman's personality and sense of self are revealed. I want people to see the dress, but focus on the woman.

Ford's New Beginnings

Tom Ford may have left Gucci, but he didn't retire long. He is going full bore into men's wear. His flagship store opened April 2007 on Madison Ave. in Manhattan. It is a beautiful two-story gorgeous store. The rooms are set-up as if you were in a large estate home instead of a store, each room is beautifully appointed.

Ford is known for his expertise in creating marketing campaigns and his no-holds-barred attitudes comes through in the lovely and provocative campaign he created to introduce the fall 2008 mens wear line. It was controversial and censured in many spots and is one of the most viewed campaigns on the Internet according to Views on Fashion Magazine.

...It is important to take a break from your workday and enjoy your lunch. Therefore, absent extenuating circumstances, lunch may not be eaten at your desk.

Happy, happy fashion--there is not much more to it than that.

Hippie Style

The house of Gucci opened in 1906 as a saddle company. Wow baby, you have come a long way. Just like us Boomers--Gucci keeps getting better and better...

Remember when the bubble dress came out how it took a bit to get accustomed to the look. Or, when the tight legs came out and hitting the gym became imperative to look anywhere near hot--both of these awkward fashion, which thankfully didn't last long.

If you start to believe in your own success and live like a successful person, you kill everything. The best success is the next success.

~Domenico Dolce

So the clothes are a good ad for living another life.

The New Look

Christian Dior, founder of Dior, quite possibly may be responsible for more breast augmentations than any other couture line. The first line came out in the spring of 1947 with what is now coined as "The New Look." A long, black pencil skirt hitting mid-calf--a break away from the large full skirt, tiny waisted models and large bosoms; the look was scandulous at the time, but soon became the coveted look. This look has never been more prevalent as it is today.

Fun Fashion

Fashion is to be fun, lovely and diverse, which is exactly why Dior's line is celebrated today. It allows women to be individuals with splashes of color and the line works for all body types and ages.

Chanel Memory Lane

Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel started her design career by making hats and selling them in Paris. Next came the clothing, then the perfume and later the handbags, shoes, cosmetics and sunglasses. She retired and moved from Paris to play. When she moved back to Paris at the age of 71 she decided to get back in the game and brought Chanel back from faded and forgotten glory to one of the top design houses. She died in 1971.

Marilyn Monroe was one of their first spokesmodels for Chanel No.5 and Catherine Deneuve in the 1970s became the Chanel No.5 spokesmodel.
