PARIS FASHION WEEK: FILIPE OLIVEIRA BAPTISTA SPRING SUMMER 2011
Today from the city of light Felipe Oliveira Baptista, a young Portuguese designer who was recently tapped by French sportswear giant Lacost, showed his own womenswear collection for Spring/Summer 2011. All eyes were open for one of the most waiting fashion show of Paris fashion week.
I really loved Baptista's retro-futuristic silhouettes _ second-skin leotards with lozenge-shaped cutouts and sheath dresses with scythe-shaped appliques looked like cool, self-aware takes on Cardin's staples.
Felipe Oliveira Baptista, with this Spring/Summer 2011 collection displays how convinced his work is right now and his womenswear collection, plenty of sporty-chic vibes mixed with futuristic shapes, can be a preview what would be his work under the label Lacoste. He is definitely in the mood!
PARIS FASHION WEEK: ROCHAS SPRING SUMMER 2011
Last season’s love affair with the Sixties was today replaced with something more Thirties-inspired at the house of Rochas, where Marco Zanini put his retro vintage spin on a collection of crumpled silk pyjama suits, elegant slip dresses, pretty camisole tops and pleated skirts and matching shirt jackets. It's something like if we will go to a night party with our best lounge wear and fancy lingerie.

PARIS FASHION WEEK: DRIES VAN NOTEN
Today in Paris, Dries Van Noten showed his Spring 2011 collection in a very dandy show, simple and eminently wearable aesthetic.
Today’s Dries Van Noten spring/summer 2011 collection provided a lovely mixture of basic denim and cotton pieces – spanning from pale blue to azure, tangerine and pink.
The mood was romantic and the look a great mix of the feminine/masculine aesthetic that Van Noten does so well. So we had flared jeans, little cotton blazers and flower prints working their way on to tunic tops, palazzo pants worn with thick-heeled suede sandals and embellishment – which came by way of peach sequin sweaters and a pair of flower sequin shorts, worn with a chiffon black poncho top.
Utilitarian natural glamor which mixed simple dyed cottons in sorbet colours with precious embellished pieces. I loved it!

Debt Reduction, Nintendo 3DS: Hot Trends"Debt reduction" is a hot search on Yahoo(YHOO_) today after 100s of consumers were victims of a fraudulent debt-relief program. Innovative Systems Technology, which was doing business under the name Briggs & Baker, claimed it could "drastically" reduce ones debt by directly dealing with creditors.
The Federal Trade Commission will mail refund checks for $104.09 to the 360 consumers who were involved with the deceptive operation. The Federal Trade Commission says Briggs & Baker's ads were "false and misleading," and that after dealing with the program some consumers' total debt actually increased.
Since the incident, new federal rules have been put in place to protect consumers. The amendments require for-profit debt-relief companies to disclose how long it will take to get results before consumers agree to sign up and can no longer charge upfront fees.
