Draped

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 25, 2010. Scroll down to see the new add.

Alexander Wang presented his Pre-Fall 2010 collection a few days ago and I must honestly say that I’m not impressed. Ever since his glorious Spring and Pre-Fall 2009 collections he just couldn’t live up to my expectations. Maybe Fall 2010 will reignite my love for his designs. Until then I’ll have to keep on drooling over his past creations, one of which is this beautifully draped asymmetrical jersey dress from his Pre-Fall 2009 collection. It is sexy yet elegant.

Charlotte Russe One Shoulder Cinched Short Dress

UPDATE (04/15/2010): I just came across this super amazing & super similar looking LBD by Charlotte Russe. It’s under $30 and available in either black or pastel grey. If you like it, be fast! I don’t expect this dress to last long on the website.

ASOS Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress

UPDATE (04/15/2010): ASOS has a dress which is quite reminiscent of the Alexander Wang LBD. It’s more body-con and drapes to the other side, but overall is still a good match I think. Available in 7 different colors.

A trench coat is one of those items of clothing that every woman should have in her closet. Various permutations appear on the fashion scene each season and it just never seems to go out of style. I think Burberry Prorsum put out one of the best trenches of the season in their Spring 2010 show. The coat is undeniably sweet with those draped/knotted shoulders and girly color (they call it “Frosted Pink”), but the black lacquered buttons keep it a little bit edgy. Sadly, at $2,595, I think we can safely say I’ll never own this coat.

Lipsy Ruched Shoulder Mac

I have to tell you, I’m sort-of OK with not owning the Burberry trench above if it means that I can nab this Lipsy knock-off which is available at ASOS. Literally thousands of dollars cheaper but with that same lovely charm, this coat is sure to win you tons of compliments. Lipsy really nailed those knotted shoulders and I think I may actually like their pinkish/peach color just a smidge more than Burberry’s cupcake-pink. I picture this being worn with a fluttery, chiffon mini skirt and black leather rocker heels.

Hello, my name is Angie, just sending in a suggestion. I saw a picture of Megan Fox when I believe she attended an Armani fashion show. Just would like to know the name of the dress and if you guys have a possible Real vs. Steal scenario. Thank you.

Angie, we’re with you on the enviable fabulousness of Megan Fox in her Armani Privé one-shoulder dress. She is the epitome of goddess-like beauty, isn’t she? The draping, the fit, those red lips—they all add up to one undeniably gorgeous ensemble.

What?Armani Privé custom made dress

ASOS Twisted Slinky One Shoulder Dress

We’ve scoured the ‘Net, but Angie, try as we might, a dead-ringer for Megan’s dress never surfaced. Of course, it is Armani Privé, which is Armani-speak for one-of-a-kind. Don’t you worry, though. We unearthed this white ASOS dress which also has a one-shoulder look, and a very respectable price. Add red lips and black peep-toe pumps and channel your own inner goddess. Available in 6 colors.

Tadashi Ruched Matte Jersey Dress

Another lovely option (with a more Grecian look like the Armani Privé) is this stunner by Tadashi Shoji. It would have been our first “steal” recommendation, but it is not available in white. Boo. However, isn’t the fuchsia a sight to behold? We love the vibrant color and ultra-flattering draping, and can’t imagine that anyone who wore this dress wouldn’t get a gazillion compliments on it. Also available in coral and black.

If you want to replicate Megan’s look head-to-toe and you still need a pair of black pumps, ASOS has a pair that looks just like the ones Megan wore.

This berry-colored tulip dress by Alice + Olivia received a lot of celebrity love in the last few months and while I agree that it’s a nice dress, I really don’t think it justifies the heavy price tag (even not the 30% OFF sale price) if you consider how much of a simple dress it is.

Alloy Chiffon Tulip Dress

If you covet the dress above, but don’t want to spend that much as well, Alloy has a great alternative for a lot less. The downside? It’s available in black only.

Back in April when the lovely Zoe Saldana was busy promoting the new Star Trek movie, she attended the Paris photocall looking very chic and elegant in a grey Giambattista Valli knitted dress which she paired with gorgeous Fendi platform heels. Such a great look for the understated fashionista!
