Actually, I don’t know yet, may be this message is for deep pocket sheiks only, but I still would like to share it with you as well. Who knows, may be you were gathering money in order to help Victoria Beckham buy new Louboutin shoes?

So ladies Posh Spice is going to auction off her collection of costumes by Roberto Cavalli from the “Spice Girls” tour. Sorry dears, Vic will spend the whole sum for charity. As to the outfits, I think, they can be useful only for those working in cabarets or adoring Victoria’s style. For example, a minidress covered in Swarovski crystals ($500,000) and a gold corset and leggings ($60,000).

Do you know where to wear them??? And in general, do you like her style? I’ll be glad to get your answers.

Ukrainian Fashion Week – AIDS Fight Promotion

No doubts, Kiev (the capital of Ukraine, is not a famous fashion capital or a city) but the 1st article in my category Fashion Weeks will start namely from it. Why? Not because my friends lives there or just ’cause I like this country, but because Ukrainian Fashion Week 2006 has reminded us about the existence of a very urgent and important problem, its name is AIDS/HIV. And it was a very important issue to view and Ukrainian Fashion Week 2007 was devoted to marriage and wedding days…

A tribute to the history… Famous Ukrainian designer Alexey Zalevsiky presented his spring-summer collection 2007 and it looked a little bit unusual: first of all, there were 50 model at the show – 5 of them have HIV. Then, clothes – a condom headdresses or a hair-do with syringes. Collection of Alexey is a very warm one and it conveys a lot of positive emotions. The Ukrainian ANTIAIDS Foundation has supported this action and project.

It was only a tribute and what about this one… This Ukrainian Fashion Week was the 10^th one, it started in the capital of Ukraine and contained collections from both famous Ukrainian designers and new names, more than 40 designers were present.

The Fashion Week was opened with the models from Lilia Pustovit. By the way, not so far her clothes appeared in the boutiques of London and Tokyo. The catwalk started with the clothes in grey and black colours in combination with pink and yellow shoes. What about shoes? Ballerina pumps!

Then, the turn goes to Viktoria Gres. Her collection considered to be the most romantic collection of the whole Fashion Week. Lace dresses and peignoirs, silk skirts. Main emphasize of the collection is clothes with erotic black and white prints in the spirit of 1920’s.

It is impossible, but to mention Oksana Karavanska collection. Card games have inspired her to make this collection. Models were showing white blouses with unique broderies, ethnic hats and vasts.

Andre Tan has disappointed the audience (but only a little bit!) His collection was only a successful continuation of the existing one. It is just a new variation of his speculations onto the ballet topic. The same dickeys, the same cut and acrobats.

Alexey Zalevsiky made delicious and adorable combinations – a sport chic with classic clothes. Main trend of his collection (as many times before) – a combination of irony and self-irony, thus, giving birth to a union of glamour and casual, couture and sport.

The Ukrainian Fashion Week was finished with gala show of Italian fashion.
