<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nós já falamos muuuito da TSE por <a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/category/modelos/three-straps-elevated-modelos/"><strong>aqui</strong></a>, já que ela parece ser a queiridinha da coleção &#8211; para algumas meninas, já que outras ainda não se acostumaram com o modelo.</p>
<p>Não é novidade pra ninguém que viria a TSE <strong>furta-cor</strong>, certo? A gente já mostrou a cartela de cores <a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/melissa-no-site-m-i-s-s/">aqui</a> e <a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/novo-site-no-ar/">aqui</a>.</p>
<p>Ainda não sabemos quando ela vai chegar no Brasil (será que ela vem na coleção de alto verão? tomara!), ou se virão todas essas cores mesmo, mas ela já está a venda em um único tom no <a href="http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/the-437/**Vivienne-Westwood--pls--Three/Detail"><strong>Epaulet</strong></a>, em Nova York, chamado <strong>Iridescent</strong> <strong>Olive</strong>, ou verde furta-cor.<strong> </strong><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#777661;font-size:x-small;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
</span></strong></span></p>
<p>A cor é linda, mas nós queremos em mais tons, certo meninas? Dá só uma olhadinha na cor disponível por lá:</p>
<p><a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dea_tse1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7290" title="déa_TSE1_furtacor" src="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dea_tse1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>E olha só o detalhe da cor:</p>
<p><a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dea_tse2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7291" title="déa_TSE2_furtacor" src="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dea_tse2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Ontem no <a href="http://twitter.com/LojaMelissa/status/6099400017">Twitter da Loja Melissa</a> eles avisaram que hoje tem novidade. Será que é ela chegando no Brasil? Estamos ansiosas!</p>

<p>Today we have a catch of the day from our girl Chifff! Check it out:</p>
<p>I just found myself the perfect solution for this crappy, <strong>Dutch weather</strong>. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the ‘crappy, Dutch weather’; lots of rain, stormy weather, cold and again, lots of rain. Don’t you worry about your hairdo before heading out (don’t even think about blow drying!), when you’ll set foot outside it’s like you’re taking a shower all over again…<!--more--></p>
<div id="attachment_2219" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 300px"><a href="http://digitalistas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vivienne-westwood-2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2219" title="vivienne westwood 2" src="http://digitalistas.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vivienne-westwood-2.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="370" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">also available in black</p></div>
<p>But, the crappy weather will never be the same. In the future I’ll be challenging the storms in this amazingly cute ankle boots by <a href="http://www.viviennewestwood.com/flash.php" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Vivienne Westwood Anglomania</strong></span></a> For Melissa Bow. Let it all just rain on me!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>E dessa vez não se trata nem de sandálias com três tiras&#8230; Nem elevada&#8230; Nem com corações, nem nada!<br />
Estamos falando das mais novas galochas que a <a href="http://www.viviennewestwood.co.uk/flash.php" target="window">Vivienne Westwood</a> criou para a coleção Anglomania da Melissa! Super promessa para o Verão 2010.</p>
<p>São dois modelos: a <strong>Bootie Bow</strong> (com um laço na curva frontal) e a <strong>Bootie Stud</strong> (com detalhes de três moedas douradas na lateral &#8211; bem pirata, sabe?! cada um com o logo de Vivienne Westwood):</p>

<p>A má notícia é que as belezinhas estão à venda apenas na <a href="http://www.hervia.com/" target="window">Vivienne Westwood Online Shop</a> e, por nada menos do que £75.00 (libras) ou $125.07 (dólares) ou ainda €83.13 (euros) queee, convertendo em reais&#8230; Ah, deixa pra lá&#8230;<br />
Maaas, que são lindas e que esgotarão rapidinho, isso não dá pra negar!<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Many newly-built nation brands’ appearance occurs me the social conditions of past several decades. In that period, people’s mind limited by policy and old conception. someone brave tried to create his or her new world of business.</p>
<p>As to the field of jewelry, many ones especially some Hongkong merchants set the good examples, such as Chow Taifook. <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany</a>, one of those nation brands, is now growing faster than ever. <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany jewelry wholesale</a> is mainly run, and <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Designer Tiffany jewelry</a> is also presented by the company.</p>
<p> There are some ideal articles, of them, the<a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/"> cheap Tiffany bracelets</a> and <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany key charm</a> are noticeable ones.</p>
<p> One who like to study this field would have more and more profound thoughts on it. Supplyiffany has the rights to sell some top brands ornaments, <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Juicy couture</a> and <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Vivienne westwood</a>, for example.</p>
<p> We cannot talk without the western jewelry development. The<a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/"> 925 silver jewelry</a> is not the complete original, its classic silver has the cultural source. we see that this most of this series items are made of silver. However, we are usually sorry to see nothing new in our makings. Exceptionally, Tiffany is good in this aspect, and almost all things are beautifully shaped. Generally, they share similarity in entirety, the difference is just in slight places. The various quantity of loops cause the changing vision. Some loops superimpose on others, this is just a new shape. So the change of the bracelet’s shape could be complex, it depends on designer’s imaginative faculty. Remark about this brand will be continued soon.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>In their first issue titled ‘Hate,’ the online magazine Flamboyant presents a collection of designer bread—their rendition of ‘Daily Bread.’Although, a far cry from the Biblical meaning, the ‘Bread Spread’ they’ve put together is amusing nonetheless. The bakery delights are created by famous designers like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Burberry, Valentino, Comme des Garçons, Hermes, Vivienne Westwood and Maison Martin Margiela. Each designer bread is complete with price hang tags, and as you’ll see, these baked goods are made with some pretty expensive dough.</p>
<p>If you haven’t guessed by now, one click on the Louis Vuitton roll and you will realize that this designer bread feature is all a spoof.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p> Our national brand is needed to be encouraged by government’s economy policy. Many of the Chinese brands companies do as the agent for other foreign top brands, such as<a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/"> Chanel</a>. it contains all types of ornaments that female use. This time we’ll see something about<a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/"> Juicy couture</a> and <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany </a>. Others like <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Vivienne westwood</a>.</p>
<p>The brand Juicy couture has a development trend of adopting the bright colors to make an atmosphere of relaxation and liveliness of young lady, which shows the different femininity of women that differs from the general. The candy-like sweet light yellow, peak green, dark blue, pink, light green and the natural gray all included in it. Whatever the color it is, it will bring you the energy of youth.</p>
<p>Tiffany is the key point we’d like to mention here. As I said before, our country’s creativity is the urgent problem that our generation face. That is to say, there will be no successful enterprises if our nation lacks new ideas. The nation brand Tiffany is an exception. The <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany jewelry wholesale</a> is mainly run by it, it gradually becomes a great <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">jewelry supplier</a> and promotes many kinds of <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Designer Tiffany jewelry</a>. The <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">cheap Tiffany bracelet</a> is one of its advantages.</p>
<p>the <a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/">Tiffany bracelets for sale</a> can surely be customized. But I do not prefer to this, for the displayed ones are just adequate. They are all<a href="http://www.supplytiffany.com/"> 925 silver jewelry</a> series. The series number 037 is pretty, its circle is large and shows the pureness and the rare generosity of girls that under 18 years old. I think, combining with her natural beauty, the girl will be likely to get a clear-eyed boy. And the silver color is often believed to be pure and clean, and these words well describe the chastity. So much about this bracelet, I’ll discuss others next time.</p>

Truly passionate about fragrance, he is only the third UK recipient to receive this prestigious industry award (the other two being Sir Paul Smith and <em>grande dame</em> of British fashion Vivienne Westwood) and a more deserved recipient I can&#8217;t think of. Here he shares his insight  into the current state of the male fragrance industry and what reveals what makes a genius juice&#8230;.</p>
<p><span style="color:#5f9ea0;"><strong>GG: What does it mean to you to be honoured by The Fragrance Foundation in this way? </strong></span><br />
KG: It makes me very proud for our company&#8217;s achievements over the past 20 years.<br />

<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: So what&#8217;s your favourite male fragrance of all time?</span></strong><br />
<a href="http://groomingguru.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/issey.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1709" title="issey" src="http://groomingguru.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/issey.jpg?w=269" alt="" width="269" height="300" /></a>KG: Definitely L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme.  It&#8217;s clean, fresh and discreet and is housed in a beautiful, yet simple, classic package.  Designed by Mr Miyake who is a very involved icon – not just a name on a pack.<br />
<strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: Best male fragrance bottle of all time?</span></strong><br />
KG: Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: Why do you think fragrances like Le Male and L&#8217;eau d&#8217;Issey Pour Homme are still so popular, years after their launch? </span></strong><br />
KG: Great package and design, both of which were the process of creativity of the designer whose name is on the box.  They&#8217;re both fragrances that are original and that can be used time and time again.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: So what qualities make a male fragrance a &#8216;classic&#8217;? </span></strong><br />
KG: Quality. Creativity. Originality<br />
<span style="color:#5f9ea0;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#5f9ea0;"><strong>G</strong></span><span style="color:#5f9ea0;"><strong>G: I&#8217;m terrible at hiding my feelings when I smell a new fragrance I don&#8217;t like. Are you honest  when you&#8217;re in a similar situation? </strong></span><br />
KG: Yes – if not it would cost of lot of time in wasted professional effort.  Taking a fragrance to market that does not work is criminal, not to mention a waste of  “my money”!<br />
<strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;"><a href="http://groomingguru.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/paulsmith-version2_sans_bain-copie.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1710" title="PaulSmith-version2_sans_bain copie" src="http://groomingguru.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/paulsmith-version2_sans_bain-copie.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="289" /></a></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: What has been the most exciting new men&#8217;s launch of 2009?</span></strong><br />
KG:  Paul Smith Man, created by our own British designer with much personal care and attention to detail.  Paul even took the advertising creative photos himself.<br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: As a male grooming writer I must say I have been very disappointed by the lack of inventiveness of the industry in the last few years. Nobody seems to be taking chances any more and it&#8217;s hard to see any of the new launches becoming classics. What are your views on this?</span></strong><br />
KG: There is a degree of banal and fast and dirty launches that do not portray quality or longevity, together with “copy cat” fragrances – i.e. ones that just follow the last successful smell instead of being creative.<br />
We do see creativity and quality, though, coming from Classic brands, Terre d’Hermes for example.  Van Cleef &#38; Arpels – Collection Extraordinaire, A-Scent by Issey Miyake, Paul Smith Man, Serge Lutens, Annick Goutal.  All have heritage and love and care in creation, together with quality in the package, bottle and juice.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#5f9ea0;">GG: The last year or so has been a tough one in terms of the economy. How has the recession affected the male side of the fragrance industry? </span></strong><br />
KG: The Fragrance Industry has done well in recession and grown again.  It is not in decline.  The feel-good factor of a £400 new overcoat or a £5,000 wristwatch might not be appealing but a £40 bottle of your favourite pleasure is a wonderful and affordable “quick-fix”!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk" target="_blank">British Vogue</a>&#8217;s December’s issue brought on a strong sense of nostalgia for me. A specific article, <em>The Secret History of London Fashion Week</em>, chronicled <a href="http://www.londonfashionweek.co.uk" target="_blank">LFW</a> from the `80s to present. After reading the piece, an abundance of emotions got my creative juices flowing, and a whirlwind of images fled through my mind. Truth be told, I had not really known LFW until recently but I remember the iridescence that fashion had as a whole. In the article, a series of designers, supermodels and buyers went into detail about the many tribulations the show endured over the years. But the focal points &#8211; <a href="http://www.lynnefranks.co.uk" target="_blank">Lynne Franks</a>, a major PR Director and Stevie Smith &#8211; the mastermind behind collection <a href="http://www.vmagazine.com/fashion_article.php?n=1252" target="_blank">Body Map</a>, were the most inspiring. It was they who- with the exception of <a href="http://www.viviennewestwood.com" target="_blank">Vivienne Westwood</a> and her line – were trailblazers for what London fashion was to become.</p>
<p>“Our LFW debut was called Cat in the Hat Takes a Tumble With the Rumblefish,” mused Smith. “We created a way of dressing using jerseys and sweatshirts that wasn’t just for skinny people, we had old, young, fat and thin on the catwalk. Even my mum.” His vision was beyond making pretty clothes and being conventional. Body Map was a breakaway from the norm other Fashion Designers were concurring with at the time. Even Franks’s concept was avant-garde “I persuaded one my clients to sponsor a tent [in Olympia] and up it went. The lawn collapsed after a few seasons and we had to move, but this marked the start of a new mood in fashion – it was fun and funky and young.”</p>
<p>Though it’s not quite as prestigious as fashion week in Milan or Paris, London Fashion Week is still the best place to showcase collections of both old and young. Matter of fact, London is ahead of all fashion corners for cultivating fashion design.  But the `80s and early `90s were a pivotal moment in fashion, as most designers of today who are creatively schizophrenic draw inspiration from fashion of that time. And not just from London, during the `80s fashion on a global scale became so baroque that the concept of colours and shapes held no barriers. The more abstract your dressing, the better. This was a philosophy that resonated with the <a href="http://www.dmboyer13.com/dvds/pages/images/large/B00009AVA6.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" target="_blank">fashion elite</a>, <a href="http://www.hilary.com/fashion/images/madonna.jpg" target="_blank">rock stars</a> and the <a href="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/salt-n-pepper-1987.jpg" target="_blank">hip-hop scene</a>.</p>
<p>Body Map is a proven testament of playing with design concepts waywardly, and boldly. There’s fierce determination to make a statement in the collections. A great prime example of this is this piece worn by Uma Thurman:</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/597519544_f49b07ebc41.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1054" title="Uma Thurman in Body Map" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/597519544_f49b07ebc41.jpg" alt="" width="363" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>and this punk-inspired pink, green and blue outfit:</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/punk2-right_image.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1056" title="Body Map `80s" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/punk2-right_image.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="430" /></a></p>
<p>As we move into modern times, Body Map’s concept was applied rather unconsciously by Toronto-based fashion designer Blaine Degannes of <a href="http://www.therainanthology.com/" target="_blank">Rain Anthology</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20091023-rain-10.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1057" title="Rain Anthology" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/20091023-rain-10.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="443" /></a></p>
<p>Considering Dagannes had no background in fashion, I reckon his fashion history was extremely limited. Maybe if he did more research, it would have been easier for him to connect the dots. <a href="http://www.blogto.com/toronto_fashion_week/2009/10/rain_anthology_is_great_if_you_like_wearing_yellow_with_neon_green/" target="_blank">A reviewer of Toronto Fashion Week</a> (where Dagannes debuted) stated his line Caribbean influenced, I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing, but it’s good when a fashion designer is influenced (much like Stevie Smith) but their upbringings. Degannes has the right idea, just not at the right level.</p>
<p>I do feel sorry for the pioneers who scavenge for talent now, the problem with a lot of fashion designers (much like aspiring fashion journalists) is that they’re too consumed with being something they’re not. They’re either overly processed and pretentious or stiff and dull. But all isn’t lost.</p>
<p>Russian designer <a href="http://www.terexov.com" target="_blank">Alexander Terexov </a>takes the same concept and adds a resort feel to his Spring/Summer 2010 collection.</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alexander-terexov.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1058" title="Alexander Terexov" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/alexander-terexov.jpg" alt="" width="326" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>It’s safer, and glossier. But it doesn’t stand out. It’s a collection constructed for fashion-conscious pretty girls who like pretty things.</p>
<p>However, my when eyes trail to UK-based <a href="http://www.ziadghanem.co.uk" target="_blank">Ziad Ghanem</a>&#8217;s spring/summer 2010 collection and it gives me hope. Not just because I like punk, but because his collection is a sign of the times. With the state of the economy, we’re looking for inspiration and he gives us that by taking the Body Map concept and revitalizing it:</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ziad_ghanem_ss10_650px_07.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1059" title="ziad_ghanem_ss10_650px_07" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/ziad_ghanem_ss10_650px_07.jpg" alt="" width="433" height="650" /></a></p>
<p>Very British, very fun. That&#8217;s the word! Fashion was supposed to be fun. It&#8217;s okay if historic elements are prevalent. But while art and fashion are merged together, you&#8217;re supposed to enjoy wearing the garments.</p>
<p>Another favorite of mine is Berlin-fashion line <a href="http://www.cneeon.de" target="_blank">C.Neeon</a> who know how to the colour and print concept seamlessly.</p>
<p><a href="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cneeon_ss10_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1060" title="cneeon_SS10_1" src="http://safraducreay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cneeon_ss10_1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="534" /></a></p>
<p>Bare in mind they’ve been around for a long time, but the vision was there from the beginning, that’s why they’ve come this far.</p>
<p>Admittedly, I have a lifetime of fashion purgatory ahead. Before allowing my inner fashion feline to emerge, I held on to what I thought I knew: <a href="http://www.balenciaga.com" target="_blank">Balenciaga</a>, <a href="http://www.ysl.com" target="_blank">Yves Saint Lauren</a>t and <a href="http://www.balmain.com" target="_blank">Balmain</a>. I liked what I thought I liked, and that was what I knew, but thanks to discovering Body Map, the eccentric world of British fashion has given me a new outlook. Not just for what to wear, but for my fashion life in general.</p>

<p>This should be interesting!</p>
<p>Leona Lewis (Seen above in another Vivienne Westwood dress, the lucky Bitch) with be teaming up with Stella McCartney to create a collection of animal friendly clothing, which suits them as they are both vegetarian.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s good that shes doing it with a designer rather than on her own, because when musicians try it it often turns out bad&#8230;Yes i&#8217;m talking about you Victoria Beckham!</p>
<p>On second thought Lindsay was working with a designer as well and that was still a disaster!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.melissaplasticdreams.com/home/">Melissa Shoes</a> is no stranger in working with famous designers. Recently, Melissa Shoes previewed  an exquisite pair of pin-heel  sandals designed by<strong> Jean-Paul Gaultier</strong> which personally I find, average and normal.</p>
<p><a href="http://ivankay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gaultier-melissa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-614" title="Gaultier_Melissa" src="http://ivankay.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/gaultier-melissa.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="285" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Then came <strong>Vivienne Westwood</strong> collabo with Melissa Shoes &#8211; LOVE IT. Leave it to Westwood to make the most cutest and fashionable &#8211; candy-colored, bow-topped, and made of recycled plastic, to boot! This is way better than the JPG&#8217;s normal-looking strappy pin-heels as it&#8217;s not easy looking for rain boots that are this charming.  They look so delicious and priced at about 84€ a pair. Now everyone can look pretty in the rainy days to come. Check it out -</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">A primeira vez que vi essa Melissa da Vivienne Westwood meu coração parou! Já experimentei mas com meu pézinho de ET não rolou: um tamanho ficou pequeno e o outro grande! Mas continuo amando loucamente e meus olhos atentos reconheceram imediatamente o sapato nesse look lindo da Leona Lewis (cantora inglesa!)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://fashionnotebook.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/leona-lewis.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1802 aligncenter" title="leona-lewis" src="http://fashionnotebook.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/leona-lewis.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="782" /></a></p>
<p>Ohnnnnn! Que linda. Saia linda, blusa linda, batom vermelho lindo, sapato lindo!&#8230;</p>
<p>Agora fala que essa cena que vou mostrar não é uber romântica:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1804 aligncenter" title="noiva" src="http://fashionnotebook.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/noiva.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="341" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma noiva de Melissa! Que lindo! Melissa branca com coração vermelho. Achei muito chique. Agora eu quero mais ainda! (foto de <a href="http://www.maxwanger.com/" target="_blank">Max Wanger </a>que achei no <a href="http://pfantastic.wordpress.com/2009/05/25/noiva-hannah-de-lady-dragon/" target="_blank">Plastic Fantastic</a>!</p>
<p>Melissa: ainda não desisti de você! Nessa foto dá pra ver que a Melissa também sobra no pé da Leona Lewis, por que ela não pode sobrar no meu???</p>

It has a slouchy, pouchy shape that&#8217;s a little bit casual and a little bit evening sophisticate. All together it strikes me as a mini disco ball with handles and a zipper.

<p style="text-align:center;">Oh Kel&#8217;, this is NOT a good look for you. The hair, the makeup, the HORRIBLE, weird, faux-bustier action dress; this is just a total mess. You need to hire a new team of people, or maybe it&#8217;s you. Come on Kelly!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Best-Dressed: Paula Abdul + Leona Lewis</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=paula+abdul&amp;iid=7115937" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/d/c/a/2/2009_American_Music_ae92.jpg?adImageId=7785433&amp;imageId=7115937" width="380" height="494" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Paula looked classic and totally ahhmazing in Enzoani.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Leona rocked a younger, edgier Vivienne Westwood dress that she looked absolutely fierce in. Isn&#8217;t it funny that everyone who made this list has had their stint on reality music shows?</p>

<p><strong>Rihanna</strong> in <strong>Marchesa</strong> &#8211; 2.8 This looks like a crumpled up doily.</p>
<p><!--more--><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Fergie_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="584" /></p>
<p><strong>Fergie </strong>in <strong>Armani Prive</strong> &#8211; 3. This is how I always judge her looks.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Carrie_underwood_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="595" /></p>
<p><strong>Carrie Underwood</strong> in <strong>Theia</strong> &#8211; I really love this look. Sometimes I get tired of the whole Grecian look,  but then again I love the one-shouldered dress. AND THOSE SHOES! &#8211; 4.5</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Alicia_keys_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="586" /></p>
<p><strong>Alicia Keys</strong> in <strong>Giorgio Armani</strong> &#8211; The dress is fantastic. And the shoes are okay. The jewelry is a bit much and the hair can go&#8230; This look had potential to be a 5, but because of everything else I&#8217;m just going to give it a 3.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Leona_lewis_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="618" /></p>
<p><strong>Leona Lewis</strong> in <strong>Vivienne Westwood</strong> &#8211; 2 <strong>Vivienne Westwood i</strong>s great, sure. I&#8217;d love to see Leona try some other designers now too. NO to those boots.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Shakira_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="673" /></p>
<p><strong>Shakira</strong> in <strong>Versace</strong>. 5! I really love this dress. I don&#8217;t really like the shoes&#8230; but my love for the dress overrules. <strong>Shakira</strong> looks really great in this dress. It was perfect for her.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cdn.thefrisky.com/images/uploads/Demi_lovato_AMAs.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="644" /></p>
<p><strong>Demi Lovato</strong> in<strong> Jenny Packham</strong> &#8211; 3.5. I like that Demi went very natural for this look everything from her shoes, to her dress color, to her makeup. It washes her out a little bit, but it&#8217;s nice to see her clean up and not look so out there. The dress is okay. The neckline is too much for me.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i48.tinypic.com/2qk49oi.jpg" alt="" width="395" height="594" /></p>
<p><strong>Selena Gomez</strong> in <strong>Talbot Runhof</strong>. 4. This is a very age-appropriate dress for her. She looks cute!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2h87ei8.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="594" /></p>
<p><strong>Kelly Clarkson</strong>. 1.5. oh noooo <strong>Kelly</strong> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  this dress is so unflattering and is a bejeweled disaster ahh</p>

<p><strong>Kristen Bell </strong>in<strong> Christian Cota</strong> &#8211; 4. She looks great! You don&#8217;t see a dress like that everyday. Kristen made a midriff showing dress classy instead of trashy.</p>

<p><strong>Nicole Kidman</strong> in <strong>Balenciaga</strong>. I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s <strong>Balenciaga</strong>&#8230;this is so wrong. 1</p>

<p><strong>Edyta Sliwinska</strong> &#8211; Why so many cutouts? This brings me back to terrible memories of Blake Lively&#8217;s dangerous slit dress. 2</p>

<p><strong>Kayle Ewell </strong>- This dress is AMAZING! This is something I would wear! 5!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/93330741.jpg?v=1&#38;c=NewsMaker&#38;k=2&#38;d=77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D0A72093708BF8D71C1765252D1290110EFA6830F7088C051D" alt="" width="361" height="594" /></p>
<p><strong>Shaun Robinson</strong>. It&#8217;s nice. It&#8217;s safe. 3</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/93328634.jpg?v=1&#38;c=NewsMaker&#38;k=2&#38;d=77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D063A52F7DC7F0C04A589416022213AAA00CC1BA5AF825C424" alt="" width="360" height="475" /></p>
<p><strong>Paula Abdul </strong>cleaned up nicely. Usually her red carpet outfits suck really hard, but this is actually nice. I usually don&#8217;t like the fish tail either especially when <strong>Beyonce </strong>has a dress with one, but this is something I wouldn&#8217;t mind looking at. 4</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/93323390.jpg?v=1&#38;c=NewsMaker&#38;k=2&#38;d=77BFBA49EF878921CC759DF4EBAC47D06FD0890F8C045BF1D3782D5D745A63920E9D67BEA26F1D2E" alt="" width="409" height="594" /></p>
<p><strong>Jennifer Lopez</strong> in <strong>Gucci</strong>. 3 Meh <strong>Nicky Hilton</strong> could probably wear this dress a lot better than you.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
</div>
<div id="texte-rep">&#8220;Le luxe grignote davantage d&#8217;espace et s&#8217;étend comme une tâche d&#8217;huile&#8221;, dit Guillaume Boudisseau, de la société de conseil immobilier Ramco à Beyrouth. Le centre-ville inaugurera prochainement ce qui était, il y a 20 ans, un champ de bataille en pleine guerre civile: ses anciens souks populaires, reconstruits par le géant immobilier Solidere dans une version plus sophistiquée pour plus de 100 millions de dollars. Aux côtés de marques grand public, ces souks &#8211;400 projets de magasins, dont 49 de bijoux&#8211;, compteront des enseignes tel Yves Saint Laurent, Chloé, Burberry ou Vivienne Westwood. Ils jouxtent les rues Foch et Allenby, sortes d&#8217;avenue Montaigne ou de Sloane Street, qui accueilleront également de nouvelles marques de luxe. &#8220;Le centre-ville est le passage obligé pour le luxe au Liban&#8221;, constate M. Boudisseau, en référence aux marques déjà implantées telles Armani, Berluti, aux maisons de célèbres couturiers libanais comme Elie Saab et Zuhair Murad, et aux appartements à plus d&#8217;un million de dollars du front de mer, où se dressent les hôtels les plus chers du Liban. &#8220;Beyrouth va devenir une destination de choix jusqu&#8217;à récupérer sa place d&#8217;ici à deux ans&#8221;, avance Tony Salamé, PDG d&#8217;Aïshti, le groupe libanais qui a le plus de contrats de franchise dans le luxe. Selon lui, le marché à Beyrouth augmente à près de 15% en rythme annuel, avec des clients n&#8217;hésitant pas à dépenser jusqu&#8217;à 200.000 dollars par saison.
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Surnommé le &#8220;Paris du Moyen-Orient&#8221; dans les années 1950-60, Beyrouth s&#8217;est imposé de nouveau comme la vitrine du luxe dans les années 90, malgré le marasme économique.<!--more--> Mais avec l&#8217;assassinat du dirigeant Rafic Hariri en 2005, qui a plongé le pays dans une période d&#8217;instabilité, Dubaï a nettement pris le dessus grâce à des investissements qui ont fait exploser le nombre de boutiques de luxe. Aujourd&#8217;hui, la crise mondiale qui a frappé de plein fouet les pays du Golfe pourrait changer la donne. &#8220;Nous avons une chance de reconquérir la première place car Dubaï a souffert énormément, même s&#8217;il reste numéro un en termes de volume et de pouvoir d&#8217;achat&#8221;, souligne M. Salamé. &#8220;Sa clientèle, des millionnaires russes qui faisaient entre 60 et 65% des chiffres d&#8217;affaires, a disparu&#8221;. Mais, rappelle M. Boudisseau, atteindre cet objectif nécessite une stabilité dans le pays en vue d&#8217;attirer les investissements et développer un marché capable de rivaliser avec celui de Dubaï. Et la capitale libanaise a un atout de taille, celui de l&#8217;image. &#8220;Pour les Arabes, notre capitale reste la fenêtre sur tout ce qui est branché&#8221;, dit M. Salamé, dont le groupe a investi 15 millions de dollars dans une quinzaine de nouvelles boutiques. Les magasins de luxe se situent dans des ruelles piétonnes élégantes avec une architecture qui date du mandat français (1923-1943). &#8220;C&#8217;est de l&#8217;ancien rénové qui donne un charme particulier, un cachet qu&#8217;on ne retrouve pas dans le Golfe, où c&#8217;est plus aseptisé&#8221;, souligne M. Boudisseau. &#8220;C&#8217;est très moderne et intime en même temps&#8221;, affirme Wafa al Ayouti, une riche touriste égyptienne, en sortant d&#8217;un magasin de luxe. &#8220;C&#8217;est comme Paris!&#8221;, s&#8217;écrie sa mère, les bras chargés de paquets. Pour Fadwa, une Emiratie, les souks aux arcades en bois sont &#8220;le New Dubaï, en plus beau&#8221;. Mais certains ont la nostalgie des temps révolus. &#8220;Ce ne sont plus les souks populaires de ma jeunesse&#8221;, dit Randa abi Rjaili, mi-triste, mi-admirative. &#8220;Ils ont gardé les noms des ruelles, mais je ne m&#8217;y retrouve plus. Je me sens plus en Europe qu&#8217;à Beyrouth&#8221;, lâche-t-elle.</p>
