"I'm Irish but I design something that is quintessentially English and I love hats."
-Philip Treacy

Leave it to Philip Treacy to give my mood a much needed boost. Yesterday I was studying the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 shows and was feeling a little disturbed. Am I the only one who felt that Louis Vuitton's line, show and presentation were horrific?! And I certainly did not appreciate CLOGS at CHANEL!! Grrrrr....Glamour Whore was not happy.

But then.... I came across Valentino's show, which received mixed reviews. Now, one thing you need to know about Glamour Whore is that I do not give a damn about anyone else's review. My opinion is the only one that matters to me. That being said I feel that Valentino's show was one of the top 3 at Paris Fashion Week.

My mood was lifting slightly from all the tulle, who can stay cranky around such glorious tulle?! And then I noticed that 3 of the models were wearing utterly amazing shoes. Shoes much better than the other Valentino models were wearing. I smelled a story. I investigated and found out the most divine news. Famed milliner Philip Treacy had designed these works of art for Valentino!!! I am obsessed with the work of Philip Treacy, and if someone ever gets me over my phobia of marriage, I will be walking down aisle with a Treacy creation adorning my glorious mane.

These fabulous shoes are available for purchase, most likely in limited quantities but if you can find them you'd be a fool not to snap them up. They are works of art...



For those unfamiliar with the astounding talent of Mr.Treacy:

Mz.Rihanna attended Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 in Paris this past week. However, as far as I am concerned SHE was the real fashion show. Rihanna has been taking Europe by storm the past few weeks. It started in Italy at her manager's wedding, on to Berlin then off to Paris for the shows. Fashion blogs, magazines, newspapers and various other media outlets ran pictures of Riri on a daily basis in one outstanding ensemble after another. Her choice of accessories is what really makes her stand out, and her willingness to take risks almost always pays off. At the Hussein Chalayan show she rocked the "Over The Knee Holster Boots" I wrote about a few weeks back. I should have known Rihanna was the only one who could do them justice and the only one willing to try. She has secured her position as the youngest member of "The Glamour Whore Hall Of Fame".

~Coke On The Runway in Milan? Yes, But It's For A Good Cause~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´


"L'unione fa la forza." ("In union there is strength.")

Maybe you didn't know but "Glamour Whore" aka "LaBella Puppetta" (born "Ignazia") is a very proud product of Italy, well actually Sicily, and I write this post with great pride and joy... I love to see my fellow Italians giving back.

It's Fashion Week in Milan, Italy and yesterday instead of models with hour-glass figures, the models were shaped like Coke bottles. That's because they WERE Coke bottles...

Coca-Cola Italy, in collaboration with The Abruzzo Charity Project enlisted 8 female designers to design sleeves for a limited amount of "Coca-Cola Light" bottles (Italy's version of Diet Coke)to be available starting September 25th. Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari from Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini at Moschino were the designers asked to participate, they said yes and the result is fabulous. The proceeds will be used by The Abruzzo Charity Project to help people/families affect by the devastating earthquake last year.

They kicked off the project at Fashion Week on Friday by showing the designs on the runway in the form of Coke bottles walking the runway...great idea.



"Moschino"



"Missoni"



"Marni"



"Fendi"



"Etro"



"Alberta Ferretti"



"Blumarine" (My favorite of the designs)



"Donatella Versace"



Last year at the exact same time, Coca-Cola asked Roberto Cavalli to design bottles featuring his staple animal spots and stripes and it was very successful. This was the amazing result:



Oh how I wish these bottles were available here in the US. I may have to plan a trip back to my family's homeland, see some relatives and enjoy a designer bottle of soda...
