Tears of Beaumont
Tears of Beaumont is brand based on Los Angeles, California. Each garments are made in the U.S. and hand made. The creative director, Jayson Palacio, is no rookie when it comes to high fashion.

YSL Fall 2011 Collection
Yves Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati responded to persistent rumours of his departure from the famous French brand in the best way possible tonight, with a sharp and sensual collection that twinned the YSL DNA with a strict modernity.
Black and white tweed tailoring evoked a mood of elegance mixed with laid-back chic, especially in cocoon coats and swing- back jackets detailed with gold chains to match the handbags. Short shifts had a Left Bank 60′s air in PVC and leather, with tweed.
The monochrome mood was echoed in furs printed with Prince of Wales check and polka-dot patent. The bright colour palette of YSL was revisited in purple feathered skirts and coats in cobalt silk.
The finale parade of white silk, crepe, ostrich and satin – in halter gowns and pleated [...] Continue reading →

Guess Who Has a Beauty Line!
Christopher Bailey, creative director of the British fashion house Burberry, explains: “The Burberry girl wears just a trace of makeup — no crazy eyes or crazy lips … Makeup should enhance women, not just cover up what they perceive as flaws.” The mix of products relies on subdued hues (“inspired by the label’s classic trench coat and by the moody hues of the British climate,” reports the New York Times”) and brings classy packaging to lipsticks, foundations, powders, and more.
Expect to pay a pretty penny for the signature plaid that is even seen on the tube of lipstick, as well as the lipstick its self. The lipstick is described as:
“Discover supple and light colors that reflect the natural lip tones. Formulas are hydrating and give a full lip in tone, co [...] Continue reading →
YSL Cruise 2010
For this season’s cruise collection, Yves Saint Laurent creative director Stefano Pilati was feeling mollusk-minded.
Nearly every one of his 35-pieces was based on the notion of the shell. Some of the references were obvious such as the mother-of-pearl necklaces and a silk chiffon dress (with cutout shoulders) done in a junonia shell print.
Other tributes were more subtle and figured into the cut and drape of a skirt, such as the jade one seen right. It’s meant to embody a shell’s circular form and soft, rounded edges.
Beach combers be warned: The clothes don’t hit stores until October.
