This piece, part of the Fall 2012 collection, begs to be worn with a leather bustier and thigh high boots accompanied with a gold spear.
Of course, it would look just as great with a tank top. Thigh high boots optional.

Alain Quilici
Wanted to share a few photos from Premiere Classe Tuileres Paris. Loving the sculptural and blade heels from Alain Quilici. And that Oxblood is one of the hottest colors for Fall 2012.

Dress For a Better World
Ever wonder if what you wear dictates your mood? A book entitled "The Gentlemen of Bacongo" explores this idea through photographs of Sapes (French slang for dressing with class)in Brazzaville.
From Selvedge magazine-
After the war in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, 1998-1999, things were still hostile until a group of men began to exhibit the look and attitude of elegance in their dress and consequently in their behavior. They are described in The Gentlemen of Bacongo ~ The Importance of Being Elegant, a new book about the S.A.P.E. To quote Baudoin Mouanda, one of the photographers in the book, " The Sape is an art and real gentlemen have to know the concept of gentleness and good manners related to the inherent moral code of the individual". He explains how dressing elegantly is being used to give society hope and to return to civility and good will. The group teaches others what it means to look and act elegantly, believing "It is more significant to know the rules of elegance than to have a Dior or Versace outfit and not know how to dress"-

Helmut Lang Fall 2012
Nicole and Michael Colovos borrowed heavily from nature in their prints of leafless trees and lava swirls, but when it came to the shoes they left the silhouettes to the best- L.D. Tuttle. Tiffany's signature architectural heels are hard to miss and the red lava print on leather is really hot.
Unfortunately, Helmut Lang made the mistake of covering up the over-the-knee boots with trousers.

Rodarte Fall 2012
The Mulleavy's, this season, were inspired by the Island of Oz (Australia). Though some of the clothing did look like it walked off the set of Baz Luhrmann's Australia, the shoes, the real show stoppers, had a mind of their own. This was the most wearable collection, yet. I could see myself adding any of the below styles to my wardrobe, including the ones with sand in the plexiglass heel.
