The blog reports that W Hotels in New York is once again advertising their annual Catwalk Packages for 15 lucky patrons. Some of the perks inside the package include two tickets to any show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, a suite a the W New York on Wall Street or Union Square, and a tote bag designed by Danny Roberts. The full posts has th details on what the exact costs and benefits for the Catwalk Packages but according to the post most of the people getting their hands on them are fashion industry insiders who have coveted knowledge of the goings-on inside the tents. However, you can't put a price on beautiful fashion and you most definitely can't put a price on attending a Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week fashion show, either. Check out the full post on Forbes Blog here.

Channel Your Inner Rake - Trussardi 1911 Spring/Summer '11

If one statement had to sum up Trussardi 1911's Milan collection, it would be "No autographs, please." The almost 100-year-old design house that began as a glove creation company which spilled into its foray into the luxury goods world is making the hot playboy look come alive. The collection is full of black, khaki, and dark denim paired with rough leather jackets in solid black, colored leopard prints, and deep red tinged with patches of black. The collection features many transition pieces from fall that fit into the spring season with a large crimson knit jacket with shawl collar, a light and rugged-looking highly tinted-chartreuse scarf, and long sleeved zip-up jackets. Lightly constructed blazers in red, white, and light blue added a dapper touch to the collection. The scoop neckline was a favorite for the collection with thinly striped shirts in navy and solid shirts in white. Each look was also paired with aviator sunglasses which completed the aesthetic of the popular and perhaps prodigal rake whose life involves hundreds of velvet rope openings, champagne fountains, and an infamous silver tongue. Trussardi is known for their inclination to the classic and timeless, considering their familiarity with it. This collection is a half step away from their usually more mature, conservative pieces but not a dive into the more flamboyant and colorful younger world that is dominated by brands like D&G and DSquared.

Fashion Ad Roundup

There's nothing more that I love than to open a new March issue of one of my favorite fashion magazines and gaze at the stunning and colorful new ads for the Spring and Summer collections of the year. The glossiness, the perfection, and the overall artistic genius inside each photograph inspires me to reach for the levels of beauty and style that is created in these photos. This is in fact, how designers keep their customers coming. We all want the perfect hair flowing perfectly in the wind that is angled in the perfect spot. We want his statuesque abs, his immaculately coiffed hair, and his sex appeal. Well, my followers, today's word of the day is envy. So to give you a little practice, I've pulled some of the best Spring/Summer 2010 fashion ads that are so awesome you won't be able to help turning a little green. Enjoy...
