Who do you think pulled it off better, the singer or the author?
We give Rhianna our thumbs up for choosing the dress according her hair color! And we applaud JK Rowling for going for the softness of the green which goes perfectly well with the pink roses and her matching pink clutch…
In honor of the next Academy Awards, the Oscars, we have decided to dedicate our blog to OSCAR de la RENTA while waiting for Sunday night’s red carpet.
Let’s have a look back at the Designer’s biggest fans in the past years: the aficionadas include actresses, fashion girls and celebrities like Lea Michele, Tina Fey, Gisele Bundchen, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Eva Mendes, Michelle Williams, Eva Longoria and Cameron Diaz.
Wilton has discovered a great British accessory designer!
Based in the classy neighborhood of Chelsea in London, Louis Mariette launched his eponymous brand in 2007. While the Brits love hats, Louis Mariette is no exception by bringing to life his passion for headpieces through his creations.
His unique headpieces have been recognized by the fashion world and are often used in editorials for the likes of Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, You & Your Wedding… among other publications. So far Louis Mariette has worked with some of the biggest stars in Fashion such as Jerry Hall, Lily Cole, Lady Gaga or Kate Moss.
More specifically, Louis Mariette is well-known for introducing a very innovative concept: the frosting. It consists of dipping the jewels in acid to obtain a mat effect. The result is blow-minding! Check for yourself:
The crystal has been frosted and is now mat white
Louis Mariette is also known for offering a wide range of colored hair accessories to match your bouquet for instance.
From now on, all these beautiful accessories including headbands, hair pins and even brooches are waiting for you at WILTON.
This time for Valentine’s day, spread the love with roses
The Dominican-born designer is keeping the famous model for a fifth season as the face of his latest ad campaign.
If you did not know her, Karlie Kloss is the new “it” model. At only 19 she has walked for the most prestigious designers and appeared in many ad campaigns, editorials and magazine covers (Vogue, Harper’s Bazzar, Numero). Since she was recruited to be one of Victoria Secret’s Angels, she is on the verge of becoming the new Gisele!
She has already been the face of Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Sonia Rykiel by H&M, Bally…
… but one of her biggest roles is to be the face of ODLR’s couture collections!
With her elongated silhouette (thanks to her ballerina past) and her young age, she rightly represents the freshness and sophistication of ODLR.

The Awards season has officially kicked off with the People’s Choice Awards. And the best dressed are:
From left to right: Jennifer Morrison (House M.D.) in OSCAR DE LA RENTA, Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother) in REEM ACRA and Vanessa Hudgens (HSM) in JENNY PACKHAM
In each evening gown we can really see the style and the distinct touch of the designer that can also be found in their wedding creations.
Oscar de la Renta is a very fashion forward and couture designer. His 20′s inspiration dress has all the right amount of glamour and sophistication adding a fun twist with the fringes.
Reem Acra always puts the emphasis on the fit which is incredible by looking at the actress. The bustier is the new “Reem bustier” she introduced in bridal and that is very present in her Fall 2012 bridal collection (in stores in June 2012).
As for Jenny Packham she always stays true to herself with glitter, deep v-necks and open backs in order to shine on the red carpet.
Now that the battle of the dresses has just started, we cannot wait to see what the season will unfold!
Each year Pantone, the color matching system, releases the “color of the year” which will influence well, everyone in general, and all creatives in particular.
2012 is the year of “tangerine tango”
How to integrate it in your wedding: in flowers, all elements of decoration (napkins, tablecloth…) and of course you can always add a nice tangerine tango belt to your dress and ask your groom to wear a matching bow tie.
The month of January is all about grace and distinction with the dress Antifaz from Rosa Clara.
With Antifaz every bride will find the understated elegance of Jackie O.
Crisp, clean lines are at the heart of Antifaz’ s minimal design. Rosa Clara’s use of silk brocade for this simple modified A-line gown gives it a luxurious streak and makes an emphatic statement. The flower pattern of the fabric shimmers in the light and adorns the skirt with the train. The gown is complemented with a T-shirt bolero from the same fabric, whose bateau neckline, small bows and buttons down the back are all details appreciated greatly by the First Lady.
As 2011 is coming to an end, we have decided to take a closer look at the best designs of the new year. Indeed, we do not like to reminisce about the past but rather focus on the present and the future. Also, since the “awards season” is just around the corner, we thought it might be more fun to make predictions on the best 2012 wedding dresses.
So without further ado, here are the winners of the 2012 Wedding dresses awards:
Best Glamorous dress
ETERNITY SKIRT & CORSET Monique Lhuillier

33E31 ODLR Lily of the Valley
