Money can't buy style #2

She may be the muse of the late Alexander McQueen, but last night fashionista Daphne Guinness (heiress to Guinness empire) chose the wrong couture wardrobe.

Hells Angels suing Alexander McQueen

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Corporation is suing Alexander McQueen for breach of trademark, after the fashion house featured motifs similar to its famous winged death head.

Lawyers for the motorcycle gang cited four products from the late designer's final collection, created shortly before his suicide in February this year.

They named the £895 'Hells Angels' jacquard box dress, and a £300 knuckle-duster ring in the complaint, as well as a scarf and a handbag.

Galerija Emporium review

I am no expert, but I am a shopaholic. Therefore I will share my first impressions on Galerija Emporium, which just opened its doors on Friday, October 22. 

A while ago I decided to ditch negative thought and look at life from from the bright side. So I have to start by applauding those who made restoring of one of the center pieces of Ljubljana possible. Also the inside of the building is remarkable. And a big plus to being open on Sundays as well.

Now to the other issues. Brands, collections and interior feeling inside the building. When it come to brands selected to be representing high fashion in one of the capitals of EU member states I have to say two things: I miss BIG fashion names from abroad as well as Slovenian ones. I have big issues with certain brands which are present, such as Desigual and United nude. Nothing wrong with these two, but they certainly don't represent high fashion. Where are Slovenian designers? Mem Couture is not the only fashion brand we have. I know they just closed a shop in the center and need a place, but I miss others like Matevž Faganel. Collections inside the Galerija Emporium are ... put in nicely ... last season. The one that can handle being last season is Alexander McQueen's, but that's about it. Lara Bohinc's collection presented does not include any new pieces??

Oh and where is cosmetics? I was expecting NARS, MAC, Bobbi Brown, ... ? And ... opening before you finish the project is not that recommended ... Gourmet/last floor is closed? Come on!

These are a few remarks on my first visit. Again nice job, but please check the latest collections, check who among our nation's few can be a part of it and ... please, make the interior less clinical ... so flowers maybe? Just a thought.

Tribute to Alexander McQueen

Known for his unconventional design and shock tactics, Alexander McQueen designed some of the most unforgettable pieces in fashion's history. His first famous clients from Savile Row included Prince Charle

and Mikhail Gorbachev. He worked for Givenchy and later on established his own label. During his life he received four British Designer of the Year awards. One of his favorite pieces to design were shoes. Here are some examples.

Salma Hayek - hmm could this be one of the worst outfits this summer?

Salma Hayek showed her figure last night after stepping out of the restaurant in LA and left most of us shocked. Personally I love Salma and I consider her one of the divas when it comes to choosing clothes. But this is a miss. Now for a woman who is married to a PPR founder and first man it is a bit of a shock. With all those freebies flying around her there simply is no excuse for this. 

FYI - Hayek's husband Francois-Henri Pinault is in head of PPR, who's main subsidiaries include: The Gucci Group (Gucci, Balenciaga, YSL, Sergio Rossi, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Puma), to name only the fashio brands.
