For this week's look back in celebration of the 15th Anniversary Year of FocusOnStyle online, I want to rewind a bit further to this very special post about how I met my style icon, Audrey Hepburn.  What a lovely moment and privilege... S.H. My evening with humanitarian and style icon Audrey Hepburn... Having someone to inspire your work is so important to manifest your own personal abundance. Finally, I found my misplaced 35 mm slide of Ms Hepburn and myself and had to share it with you. I don't know about you but I think almost every woman (and man) of a certain age has been mesmerized by the allure of Audrey Hepburn. yeGrowing up with first runs and reruns of  Audrey Hepburn

Diane Von Furstenberg- Spring 2012 Fashion Show

Runway Review: You will be covered with it all in DVF next Spring!  I would like to find myself dressed in the collection next April and May. The DVF woman will confidently strut in draped silk crepe, crisp wrap skirts with volumous pockets, tailored suitings, oversized, bold prints, and a hint of shimmer. The runway collection eases us in with a color palatte of soft grey, taupe, pale citron and warm coral, then it grows strong with kelly green, violet and hibiscus orange; a very balance array grounded with clean white.  Not one piece is overly tailored and tight, instead the drape and fluidity defines this version of sexy body conscious. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS The opening look, a crisp white

Fashion Week Gossip- Oscar de Renta’s Global Revolution draws on the Silk Road, Tinsley Mortimer at Robert Verdi’s Luxe Laboratory and…

... The Genius Collection from Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's Marchesa was truly overflowing with drama as a sure bet for the Red Carpet! Brad Boles is still terrorizing the town in fabulousness with his Blackberry... I'm sure that I love Oscar de la Renta as much as Sarah Jessica Parker does! He has drawn inspiration throughout the years from Morocco, India, and Paris in the 1920's. The fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta collection is every bit as glamorous as his previous iconic collections. Between the embellished jackets of gold bullion and sequined gowns, my source the "Debutante It Girl," was front row at the show and kept me (and you) in the loop via her cryptic texts. Oscar

Sex and the City 2 Movie Fashion Oops Promotion Junkets Start

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis > WATCH How to Accessorize a Little Black Dress We're loving Kristin Davis in Oscar de la Renta Just because a dress is pretty, it doesn't mean it's right on you... As for Sarah Jessica Parker, we know how she pushes the fashion envelope as much as she can for the red carpet . Her frou-frou dress is cute but perhaps it would work better if it was either a tad longer or a bit less fussy; no matter how buff her body is, we feel the combination of a bare leg and super short frou-frou dress is simply too girly on a grown woman. Less is more, but... Cynthia Nixon looks timeless
