Runway Report: Thakoon Spring/Summer 2016 RTW

Thakoon SS16 RTW
For Spring/Summer 2016 RTW Thakoon Panichgul created what he called "New Bohemia." With a front row filled with women known for their eclectic tastes (Jessica Alba, Christina Ricci, & Bella Heathcote to name a few) there was a sense of that "New Bohemia" from the start. Tye-dyed, sun bleached denim, and 90s grunge were all part of where this idea of "New Bohemia" is going. I gotta say that breaking this collection down piece by piece it was an amazing collection and I can see everyone from the everyday woman grocery shopping to celebrities on the red carpet wearing this collection. Where a lot of designers have taken the 90s grunge reference and over styled many of their looks to feature so many pieces you don't know what to look at first, Thakoon stripped it down and made each look very light and airy. Not something you normally think of when referencing grunge. The speckled tie-dye long sleeve sheer chiffon midi gown with a cutout knot detail at the bodice and an open back was my favorite look in the collection. I get the full embodiment of the idea of "New Bohemia" with this look.

2014 Tribeca Film Festival: 'Life Partners' Premiere Wish List

We haven't seen that much from Leighton Meester on the red carpets since the conclusion of 'Gossip Girl.' During the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival, the recently married, Leighton will make an appearance to premiere her new film 'Life Partners.' Leighton has recently partnered with the uber chic stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who dresses the likes of Nina Dobrev, Bradley Cooper, & Shailene Woodley. The two have had a few moments together but nothing as high profile as Tribeca, so I am sure there will be a top notch ensemble on the back of Mrs. Meester for this red carpet. I am picking this forest green Thakoon Pre-Fall 2014 draped jumpsuit, sands the light blue oxford that it was paired with in the look book. I would pair this look with a statement necklace, a simple gold Diane von Furstenberg clutch, and a pair of simple gold platform sandals to give Leighton the perfect look for Tribeca.

Anna Wintour to wear the Resort 2014 Collections

This past year we have actually seen a lot more of Anna Wintour attending parties than we have in the past. It used to be Met Ball and CFDA Events were the only time that we saw the infamous Vogue editor on the red carpet but this year we have seen her out and about at other events showcasing her signature style. Anna may be the woman who gets to dictate to the world how they must dress for the coming season but she always takes the runway looks that suit her lady like style or have things modified to suit her style. This black and blue Carolina Herrera Resort 2014 cocktail dress is a total Anna dress and as she and Carolina have an out of office fashion relationship I could definitely see Mrs Wintour wearing this for a cocktail event or even during Spring 2014 RTW Fashion Week.
 Anna Has already scooped up one Oscar de la Renta Resort 2014 dress which she wore with a scooped up Marc Jacobs Resort 2014 cropped jacket to the 2013 CFDA Awards (pictured left) and I am sure that this will not be the only dress from the designers Resort 2014 collection that we will see Mrs Wintour wear. I think that this navy blue and white plaid Oscar de la Renta Resort 2014 dress for a normal day inside the Vogue offices deciding on layouts and which looks will be featured in the next issue.
And last but not least I have my dark horse wish for the chic Vogue editor which is this white and black printed Thakoon Resort 2014 dress with pleated side hem panels. Thakoon was a runner up in the 2006 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund competition which really launched his career and garnered Anna's attention. While she may not wear his pieces as often as those of Chanel, Prada, or Oscar de la Renta the young brand has certainly had a few outings from Anna. This dress would have to be modified so that the sheer panels are no longer sheer because I could not see Anna rocking any type of sheer panels.

Teen Choice Awards Dress Picks: The K's and the L's

Katy Perry loves The Blonds (the Smurfette dress in the reference picture is by them). I chose this colorful fringe dress because the moment I saw it Katy's name screamed in my head. I would have her wear fuchsia Nicolas Kirkwood ankle strap sandals.
Its dark and a mini dress the two things that K Stew looks for in a dress I already know she will either wear black Christian Louboutin or Sergio Rossi pumps if she wore this so why bother finding a pair of heels that would be stunning when I know I'm gonna be let down in that department either way. NEXT!
OK so Kristen Wiig, I have no idea who she is, just know that she has been working a red carpet lately. She favors sweet ensembles which is why I choose this red Thakoon Resort 2012 dress. Sweet but sexy. I would give her a matching red clutch and red peep toe pumps.
Lea is a red carpet diva and a HUGE Oscar de la Renta fan. This feathered strapless dress is cute and perfect for her. I would pair this dress with grey embellished Jimmy Choo sandals.
Now after her trying to separate herself from her Gossip Girl character on the red carpet circa the fall of 2009 She has consistently gotten a whole lot better. I would love to see her in this Giambattista Valli dress and paired with yellow Burak Uyan Sandals, as she has not let me down in the shoe department in a very long time.
