the met ball

The Met Ball is always something I look forward to.

(spoken as I were ever actually there :)

There were many stunning gowns, many that didn't disappoint, and some whatever ones.

Here are ones I found wonderful.

(Parker in McQueen)

(Roberts in Michael Kors)

(Paltrow in Stella McCartney)

(Kruger in Jason Wu)

It could be my favorite.

(Zellweger in Carolin Herrera)

(Wats in Stella McCartney)

(Pinto in Chanel haute couture)

I don't like the tie though.

(Tyler in Givenchy haute couture by Riccardo Tisci)

Now, a splash of color...

(Saldana in Calvin Klein)

(Agron in Michael Kors)

(Goodwin in Top Shop)

(Gyllenhaal in Stella McCartney)

(Mendes in McCartney)

(Williams in custom MiuMiu)

Cute and simple with a vintagy feel. Very Williams-like.

And the most dramatic dress of the night...

(Ricci in Zac Posen)

It seems nude is still going strong. I like it!

And Stella McCartney is one desirable lady! I applaud her! She is a true aesthete and knows her stuff.

perfection

I said it once and I'll say it again:

Ballet & Fashion is a lethal combination that makes time stand still...

more florencia kozuch!

Florencia part II...

Textures, materials, embroidery, knitting - delicately soft and fiercely structured with details reminiscent of tribal artifact. The silhouettes look like something from a fairy tale, and I mean that in the best possible way!

Oh it's bold alright! But it's wearable, wonderful & completely thought-through.

Bravo Florencia! You are going places!

An interview form Fault Magazine:

FAULT: How are you feeling about your debut at this season’s London Fashion Week?

Florencia: I’m very exited, if not a little terrified! I cannot think of a better platform to do my catwalk debut. It’s a great opportunity for a young designer and I’m really looking forward to it.

FAULT: Argentinean tribes and rock’n'roll acted as inspiration for your graduate CSM collection. Where have you found inspiration for this season?

Florencia: Well, this season is a mix-mash of all things Argentinean – from crocodiles to sea urchins, gaucho hats, riding trousers and wools from the Patagonia. I’ve been producing my collection in my home city of Buenos Aires, working with local manufactures and traditional products. So I hope you will see a slicker collection but I’m still experimenting with textures and silhouette.

FAULT: Textiles play a vital role in your design aesthetic. What sort of detailing can we expect to see at Fashion Week?

Florencia: This time there will be embroidered sea urchin spikes – some painted and some in their natural colour – masks and necklaces as well as interesting knits. I have used chunky virgin wool for coats and hot pants. There are also some reptile armour-like details in Cayman skin from Formosa.

FAULT: Which is your favourite piece and why?

Florencia: At the moment I am sea urchin obsessed! So I guess it’s the open back black and blue dress with embroidered spikes.

And here are 3 photos of her new pieces I think.
