LUXE VS. MUST: Sonia Rykiel’s Pre-Fall Collection and Sonia Rykiel pour H&M

By Jessica

To the dismay of die-hard fashionistas, winter’s freezing temperatures call for clothing that keeps you warm but prevents you from looking cool. Leave it to the Queen of Parisian chic, Sonia Rykiel, to turn that stereotype on its head in both her latest collections.

Sonia Rykiel’s fabu-LUXE Pre-Fall collection renders a symphony of emboldened designs in unexpected hues like soft pink and fire-engine red. Her line of well-fitting suits, sheath dresses, structured pants and even overalls is defined by a lively yet decidedly feminine mystique.

Ruffles dance around the neckline of knit blouses, offering a quaint, ladylike touch while multicolor art nouveau prints energize the front of a black sweater dress. Accessories like cowboy hats and leather gloves add a touch of glamour and new-school sophistication.

In her MUST-have knit collection for H&M, Rykiel infuses each knitwear piece with verve, energy and attitude. Her spirited designs range from a pair of oversized overalls, worn with an off-the-shoulder striped shirt, to a rainbow-hued striped sweater dress that renders a cacophony of color.

The modern collection, designed for women and girls 1.5 to 8 years old, is brimming with imaginative styles like studded berets and shirts with cool graphic designs.

Sonia Rykiel pour H&M will be available in Sonia Rykiel boutiques and H&M stores on February 20, 2010.

POSHGLAM's Best Dressed at The People's Choice Awards

By Samantha

The 2010 People’s Choice Awards just ended, and the fashion’s were as fabulous as the event. From cocktail attire to ballgowns, sexy to conservative, starlets made a glamorous statement.

Country-cutie Taylor Swift was the picture of perfection in her “winter white” ensemble, with just enough shimmer in her Jenny Packham dress, Neil Lane earrings and bracelet, Odette ring and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger wowed the crowd in her curve hugging David Meister dress and Loree Rodkin jewels.

The other country darling Carrie Underwood went for a more edgy look, and it was definitely a winning one. The singer paired her stunning Christian Cota frock with Rock and Republic “Paulina” heels, a Lauren Merkin clutch and jewelry by Johnathan Arndt.

Always classic and chic, Taraji P. Henson did not disappoint in her vintage-inspired Alberta Ferretti gown and dazzling, ornate jewelry.

Young Disney sensation Demi Lovato looked age appropriate, and absolutely charming in her Jenny Packham dress, Rene Caovilla dress and clutch and Carrera y Carrera and Le Vian baubles.

We have to give major credit to fashion maven Diane Kruger. The actress paired her Herve Leger number with accessories from none other than H&M, a recessionista after our own hearts.

Kate Walsh was glittering perfection from head to toe in her Sarni Vintage Dress from Decades (that she picked up earlier that day) and some pretty fierce Casadei Signature Triple Platform Pumps.

Fashion chameleon Olivia Wilde tried out a new look in her Monique Lhullier dress and Fleurette jewels, and I am definitely a fan.

A-list movie star Nicole Kidman sat by her man and looked charming, elegant and edgy in her L’Wren Scott pant-suit, Jimmy Choo heels and her own jewelry. And a quick shout-out has to be given to classic comedian Cloris Leachman, who showed up smiling in style despite her injury. Love! So many celebrities graced the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards, and these are POSHGLAM’s favorite looks from the night. But the month of awards shows has just begun, so stay tuned for more glamorous fashion.

H&M Fashion Against AIDS Launch hosted by Estelle

By Dee

Last night clothing store mogul H&M, Designers Against AIDS, and British music icon, Estelle, hosted an event that brought together two giant forces in today’s world:  the fight against aids and fashion!  The event acted as the launch for the 2009 Fashion Against Aids collection that featured designs by Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese, Estelle, Cyndi Lauper, N.E.R.D, Yoko One, and Moby.. just to name a few!  Guests were allowed to shop before the store opened and received a special sneak peek at the FAA collection.

The new Upper East Side H&M on 86th street was filled with Manhattanites as they unveiled the 2009 FAA offerings.  A few notable faces included Kim Stoltz of MTV, Dangerous Muse, and Kevin Sayer of Run’s House.  Estelle donned a Matthew Williamson for H&M gown while Andre J chose a Roisin Murphy designed FAA bodysuit.  Cocktails were served from Belvedere and music was spun by DJ KISS.
