So About That Corset on Ariana Grande at the #VMAS It’s by @BizzyBHollywood #LosAngeles #Fashion #Couture

I love a success story don’t you?

Last night at the VMA Pre-Performance young gorgeous and 20 something Ariana Grande killed it with a beautiful performance. Despite her being a self-described ‘ball of nerves’ her performance hit the red carpet and voice was beautiful.

And so was her clothing.

You might remember, if you actually read this blog, a piece I did on the store ‘Bizzy B of Hollywood’ where they shot Magic Mike and have lingerie, costumes, menswear, fetish wear and then some. The owner has Beatrice Prochazka has been making Hollywood prettier for 12 years and continues to do so, by making custom Swarovski wear for celebrities all over the world.

One of them being Ariana Grande! That’s right. That gorgeous custom Swarovski corset was an original piece by the lovely BeatricePro/BizzyB of Hollywood herself. Every darn crystal. Beatrice also works with stars like;

Nicki Minaj, Paris Hilton, Bad Girls Club, Traci Bingham, Corey Feldman, The Girls Next Door, Cee-Lo, Ginuwine and Tank as well as creating custom pieces for performance and for the ladies, the boudoir.

Catherine McNeil and Mario Testino Team Up to Create ‘Prima Donna’ for British Vogue #Unique #NoirBeauty

Is there anything Mario Testino can not twist into magnificence? The answer is no, because he is pure art. Add uber model Catherine McNeil and you have an enchanting editorial for British Vogue called ‘Prima Donna’.

Thankfully, Models.com posted said editorial in full. Styled by the very talented Lucinda Chambers, Catherine looks beyond stunning and Mario Testino’s artistic ways have yet again, stolen my heart. It is a shoot full of noir, the romantic and has an air of perfect grace. Truly a trump for British Vogue’s September issue.

Beyond the clothing and make up this shoot came out so stunning it took my breath away. I had to post it. Enjoy the ethereal works of Testino and the Cat.

Iris Van Herpen, Art in Fashion, 2013 Couture #Runway #Backstage

If you haven’t witnessed the Couture shows in Paris, I suggest you start your education now. Fashion and art coincide in the most beautiful manner with designers such as Alexis Mabille, Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy and one of my all time favorites, Iris Van Herpen.

Iris van Herepen is not only a tented designer but is an artist with her couture line. each piece is not just unique but outstanding. Never garish and always chic she defines Haute Couture vision and represents everything it encompasses.

According to the writers at Wikipedia;

Iris van Herpen (born 5 June 1984) is a Dutch fashion designer. She studied Fashion Design at Artez Institute of the Arts Arnhem and interned at Alexander McQueen in London, and Claudy Jongstra in Amsterdam. In 2007, she started her own label. Since July 2011, she is a guest member of the prestigious Parisian Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, which is part of the Fédération française de la couture.

Iris is talented, and at a very young 29 years old is a beautiful and sometimes mad genius. Her couture is outstanding and always has a strange, creature like appearance. I am completely fascinated by her work and appreciate her sense of the odd and beautiful. Hopefully you will too. Here are some shots from backstage at the van Herpen show from the lovely Lea Colombo/Models.com.

‘United Scandinavia’ by Patrick Demarchelier in Scandinavia SSAW Magazine #Gorgeous #TeamSweden #Editorial

I am very proud to say I am Swedish. My Grandmother came over from Goteborg, Sweden (pronounced yotee-boree if you can believe it) in the 1920’s and passed on her heritage and awesome cheekbones to my mother and I. So when you see a mad genius like Patrick Demarchelier do a shoot for Scandinavia SSAW Magazine with our favorite Swedish supermodel, Frida Gustavsson, and super sexy Dane, Josephine Skriver, I HAVE TO share.

Since it’s my birthday I fully reserve the right to not blog. BUT because I love you guys and could not do this without you I am going to leave you with some of my favorite fashion images. Enjoy and Happy Birthday to me!!

Some images are very not safe for work!

TGIF Video – Dior’s ‘Secret Garden, Versailles’ video

There are few things in this world that have my heart. One is the house of Dior. Classy, timeless and run by Raf Simons, it is purely chic. Delicious even.

The other is my old school, goth, new wave upbringing. Namely Depeche Mode who has a soundtrack to everything in my life. Their music was timeless and full of top 40 songs I have danced to since the 80s.

What do you get when you mix awesome English band Depeche Mode with Dior?

This beautifully done campaign video. Originally released in a short version the final, long version will steal your heart. I know it did mine.
Enjoy this visual eye candy.

Met Gala Goes #Punk with Punk:Chaos to Couture Exhibit #RedCarpet #Best #Worst #PunkIsNotDead

For those of you hiding under a rock, the Met paired with Vogue Editor Anna Wintour and several other amazing CFDA board members to present “Punk: Chaos to Couture” and opened for the annual Met Gala yesterday.

Vogue had a live stream, twitter was a-tweeting and I was live tweeting my likes and dislikes of yesterdays red carpet. What? You weren’t tweeting with me? Well then go add me at @HeathyrWolfe before you start feeling guilty.

Icons of Fashion, TV and the Big Screen showed up in droves. Some fashionable, some fashionably late. Most were punk to gills as they should have been. Vivienne Westwood made a show and an amazing political plight for Bradley Manning, the soldier at the centre of the Wikileaks drama,

Madonna in Givenchy and Casadei shoes, showed some fierce punk attitude Surprisingly, Miley Cyrus was head to toe H-O-T, in a fishnet dress by Marc Jacobs,

The piece-de-resistance was Sarah Jessica Parker. She put a smile on everyone’s face with a mohawk head piece that was vintage Phillip Treacy, a Sarah Jessica Parker In Giles Deacon Dress dress and kick your ass plaid thigh-high boots.

Others were just there to share the spotlight namely our favorite resident paparazzi junkies Kimye who failed in this floral fashion flop,

Kristen Stewart who looked smashing but did nothing but smirk and eye roll on the red carpet

And January Jones who rode in on her broomstick, giving Anna Wintour a run for her money.

Evan Elliot ‘Never Forever’ Collection #Menswwear #Ninja #Emerging

Being a contributor and writer in the Fashion industry has its perks. One of said perks being I can go to NYFW and witness the amazing designers debut their collections. No I’m not just trying to make you jealous (maybe a little). I’m actually talking about the FW 2013-2014 collection shown by the very talented Elliot Giffs.

Labeled ‘Never Forever’ it premiered this year NYFW in Feb for Fall/Winter 2013. I don’t know where Elliot Giffis has been hiding because his collection was amazingly unique and high fashion.

Seeing this menswear collection was refreshing. It tickled my freak chic fashion bone by being something akin to ninja gear for a metro sexual. Although most collections that are shown at NYFW usually show a bit more of an Americanized style, his reflects more of an international quality.
Curious yet? Check out the amazing runway photos from the Elliot Evan Fall/Winter 2013 collection pour homme.
Huge thanks to Michael Shane PR for show invite and photos (Fashionable love and Champagne kisses darling!).

The New Saint Laurent Featuring Icons of 90’s Rock #HeidiSlimane #Photography #Campaign

Saint Laurent recently revamped from the iconic Yves Saint Laurent to….Saint Laurent thanks to creative director Heidi Slimane. (Read more HERE)

With a fashion house this iconic it was a daring decision and perhaps could have been a pitfall. However with a super power in the industry like (Yves) Saint Laurent they refuse to let simple things, such as a change in name, ruin a platinum reputation.

Enter Heidi Slimane. Iconic fashion & music photographer and mad genius. Add Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Ariel Pink of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. All as mad, strange and beautiful as the new house of Saint Laurent, and Heidi Slimane.

Create a campaign using all of the above rock icon’s from the ’90’s, and you have perfection with side of hardcore only Slimane is keyed into. And one beautiful campaign.

See the new faces of Saint Laurent below as captured by Heidi Slimane.

Sweets Jewelry, Carol Lynn Sweet’s and How to Give Back! #Jewelry #Gorgeous #Charity

A classic piece of really nice jewelry can make a woman do anything. Clean. Cook. Melt into putty. Scream and squeal like a dolphin.

Really, we are suckers for that.

Recently I had the honor and luck of meeting Carol Lynn Sweets, of ‘Sweet’s Jewelry‘, at LAFW 2013 in Hollywood.

More like, I jumped her and forced my business card into her face.
I had seen on the runway presenting gorgeous pieces that are sexy, sassy and made of GORGEOUS semi-precious stones. Think pearls, garnet, turquoise and jade to keep you feeling like a queen. No wonder I fell in love with her runway items.
Check out the LAFW runway presentation for Sweet’s Jewelry below,

Is it wrong I want everything on the runway I see?

After speaking extensively to Carol, I found out she is no emerging designer. Sweet’s Jewelry is featured in everything from TV to radio show’s. The list is massive.

A few worth mentioning are; Kick it Spot Radio, BRAVO T.V., MTV Music Video’s, Covergirl Photo Shoot, TMZ, 90210 2.0, PopCon 2012, L.A. Fashion Week, Miss Russia 2013 Swimwear Photo Shoot.

I that isn’t enough, they are on every red carpet in Hollywood including; THE Emmy’s, ITV Awards, various Oscar gifting Suites and the Grammy’s.

Are you feeling the love? You should be. Sweet’s Jewelry is not all about pretty necklaces and rings and things. There is a softer side to her business that makes us at HeathyrWolfe.com love her even more.

In her spare time Carol uses a portion of her profits for philanthropy. Currently Carol supports and raises fund for;

LongBeach Aids Foundation. The Eric Wylde Foundation Children in Guatemala, Shine on Hollywood Magazine Aid for Artists, and Kierrah Foundation Aid for Foster Children.

Carol decided to give back to the community by creating a special area on her site JUST for charity. All the Jewelry sold on the Charity Pages 100% of the Proceeds go directly to the foundation they purchase from.

Michael Brandt manager of Sweets Jewelry presenting Jewelry on world AIDS day to Gary Bowie Chief Executive Officer of the Long Beach AIDS Foundation for their silent auction.

TV, Model Shoot’s, Red Carpet. I’m impressed.

It turn’s out this fashionista/diva need’s to pay closer attention to her accessories. Sweet’s Jewelry is not only well made and gorgeous but obviously THE thing to grab while it’s still available. Why do I say that? Each piece is original and handcrafted.

That’s right, you will be wearing a limited edition/original. Annnnnd yes of course she does custom orders. I’ve already ordered my piece so you better get cracking with your credit card darlings. Where to go to buy? Click the link below and get your’s NOW!

Anne Hathaways Prada Oscar Dress Or: Are Those Darts Or is it REALLY Cold in Here? #WardrobeMalfunction #2Times #Nipples? #DARTS

Last minute decisions in the entertainment industry can make or break your career. Unfortunately lately it seems Anne Hathaway is the queen of wardrobe malfunction and bad choices. Last night’s choice to wear a pale pink Prada gown over Valentino may embarrass her for the rest of her Oscar life.

Although the pale pink flattered the beauty the choice to go with a dress that had unfortunate darts will stay to haunt her. Unfortunately placed, like to pale pink perky nipples or guides to them, Twitter was a buzz with Anne’s dress.

I’m surprised Seth McFarlane didn’t make an off-color joke about them, but last night he was strictly business.

The column gown was gorgeous, well made and looked lovely except one unfortunate and again devastating issue.The placement of those damn darts. I can’t stop looking at the darts!

Anne has had two major wardrobe eff-ups. My hope is that third time is a charm and she’ll stop wearing dresses commando and with nipple guides.

We wish you luck and congrats on your Oscar hunny. Maybe its time to step it up from ‘Princess Diaries’ and embrace your elegant ‘Les Mis” side. AKA quit giving us bloggers fuel for the fire!

Things to Watch: L.A. Frock Stars on The Smithsonian Channel #Brash #Sass #Fashion #Celebs

I admit that most vices in life I have given up. However there are two things I will never let go of. Chocolate and television. And wine. And….oh blast let’s get back to television.

If you are like me you are addicted to every fashionably interesting show out there. I am still fuming there isn’t more ‘It’s a Brad, Brad, Brad World’ and am addicted to the new show The Face. I’m rooting for Coco seeing as she is sassy and quirky. Well Gods be praised a new show has popped up and it looks fabulous. And it’s set in L.A. which makes me an even bigger fan.

Enter Frock Stars L.A. with the ever wicked and cool owner Doris Raymond, owner of The Way We Wore. One of the hottest vintage shops in L.A. County which dresses some of the hottest celebrities (Adele, Dita Von Tease).

How can I describe the owner? She’s fashionable, savvy and a vintage GODDESS. She knows whats up and down and she should be interesting to watch.

Add a fab staff of vintage divas in the know. Styles and designers they carry and hope to find range from the 1920’s to the 1980’s. And with a constant search for ‘the holy grail’ of vintage, it’s a super win.

Check out the teaser for the show here.

L.A. Frock Stars: Sneak Peek

Premieres March 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Are you watching? I will be.

Punk is NOT Dead! MET Costume Institute Displays Punk Coutoure. #McClaren #Westwood #McQueen #ROCK

Who say’s Punk is dead? Not the NY MET Costume Institute. Recently Anna Wintour, Riccardo Tisci and several others put their best punk foot forward at a gala to display a full array of punk wear. Original Vivienne Westwood/Malcolm McClaren, McQueen, Lagerfeld and Galliano’s outfits are displayed in this diverse look at punk influence.

Punk art & street influence began to show its distasteful head in the mid-1970’s and still has a rough handle on the fashion industry to this day. Ricardo Tisci of Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm Mclaren embraced it around 1976 and never looked back. To this day Westwood’s punk influence is still pretty heavy in her collections. You don’t get to be a well-known designer of 30+ years by playing it safe. And punk, has NEVER been safe.

Checkout the display in New York City from the MET evening of Punk.
