SUNSET

If you live in LA and there is a gorgeous sunset, take out your IPhone and visit your Instagram App and I guarantee you will see dozens of photos of the sky.  And one shade that may catch the eye of someone with their head in the clouds would be this golden rust-meets-sunset shade.  Halston often played with cloud motifs and certainly understood the power of colors from nature when I consider past selections that have come through our doors in sand, ruby, aqua, and various shades of metal. This crinkle iridescent silk chiffon one shoulder gown has an asymmetric skirt and wide sash that looks great tied over the waistband.  It's the perfect length to show off amazing shoes (check out our obsession www.maxkibardin.com) and can go cocktail or blacktie with the right accessories.  Totally seasonless, ageless, and worthy of the inner Bianca Jagger ready to come out and play!

WHAT CAME FIRST?

What came first for you today: the shoe or the dress?  In this sole society, I bet many of you have been so seduced by a pair of shoes that you design your entire outfit around your feet.  The Max Kibardin shoes below are show stoppers.  In flamenco pink with plastic spikes and a splattering of Swarovski crystals, I doubt any of you have a shoe like this in your closet.  But you should. I met Max last night and dig his shoes.  I always like to be on the lookout for designers who aren't ubiquitous and Max is a shoe magician that should be on your radar.  These are the top of shoes that come first and the dress will follow.  In this instance I suggest a very modern looking Balenciaga dress from the 1990s of black crepe with cap sleeves and a bow, it's a blend of lady like 1950s sophistication has met 1990s minimalism.   However, I am suggesting some maximum shoes.  The tunic/dress is super short so unless you are highly confident, may I suggest a pair of leather shorts or a slim tuxedo pant.  Whatever you do, make sure you shoes are wicked.
