Felipe Oliveira Baptista Haute Couture – Spring Summer 2009 I check out Felipe Oliveira Baptista’s collections every season but this year his presentation and standout jackets caught my eye. There is also a futurist aspect to the clothing. I’m also enjoying the urban uniform vibe his clothing portrays. images: Felipe Oliveira Baptista Haute Couture S/S 09 – the Fashion Spot.

I first salivated over the Alexander McQueen Striped column dress during the Mens Spring Summer 2009 show. Soon afterwards, Net-a-Porter carried the dress and I went crazy again as they had some great shots of the dress. Well, I finally tried on a variant of the dress at Holt Renfrew Bloor Street. Of course I had to take a couple sneaky photos in the changeroom. It’s stunning, but it’s a shame this version missing the statement shoulder. This dress fits like a dream and feels like nothing on. It’s a serious curve hugging dress. I’m in love. However, it’s $1500!!!! A girl can dream though.
I was shocked to see a great photo from Katie Holmes for Miu Miu. Shocked I tell you. image: the Fashion Spot – Miu Miu S/S 09 : Katie Holmes by Mert & Marcus
