Ultra Violet Summer 2008


Fashion Trend: Ultra Violet

Designers sweetened the Spring / Summer 2008 collections with silks and chiffons in sugary shades of purple from subtle lilac to sumptuous jacaranda.

"Lilac is a romantic colour. It is sophisticated but also populist;
it lets you dare without being loud; you can be noticed
without being glaring" - Alberta Ferretti

Trend Spotting: Irina Gives a Runway Lesson
GIOVANNI model of the moment Irina Lazareanu hit the runways of BURBERRY, FENDI and LA PERLA in Milan for ready to wear Fall / Winter 2009 and rocked more than a dozen shows in Paris in her best accessory -- her bangs!

So what does this Canadian-born model and Kathryn Kerrigan have in common? Not their size 11 feet, their bangs and the runway. Watch Kathryn strut her bangs at Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago this evening at 5pm.

Bangs not only frame the face, but they draw attention to our sensuality -- eyes and lips, that is. Add wispy bangs to a simple, straight hairstyle for major glamour.



Irina Lazareanu makes cover of W magazine and walks in the fall Chanel couture show in Paris.

Kathryn Kerrigan shows off her major bangs!!



Savvy Shopper: Alternatives Shoes

Shoes as architecture, shoes as art, shoes from Italy & Spain--Alternatives is a celebration of men's and women's shoes and all the forms they can take. A sleek black wedge looks dangerous, a whimsical heel with a corkscrew-like protrusion defies gravity, a blue round-toe heel is the picture of elegance. It's the only place to find the Linda open toe D'orsay wedge in Violeta by Kathryn Kerrigan.

CHECKLIST: Alicante, Spain
Alicante, Spain is where it all starts for Kathryn Kerrigan Footwear. Medieval castles, beach side promenades and unbeatable cuisine are dandy incentives for business trips. Located on the clear, blue Mediterranean Sea, Alicante is known for more than just great footwear.

Kathryn is in Alicante working feverishly to complete her designs for Spring / Summer 2009. She'll keep us posted on her new blog, but you'll have to wait until next week!



Agatha Ruiz de la Prada
Love the blue bangs. Find designer garb at Rambla de Mendez Nunez. Department store addicts, El Corte Ingles has three stores in the heart of Alicante.

Esplanade de Espana
Swaying palms line the Esplanade de Espana,
a waterfront promenade that stretches alongside the large marina.

Castille de Santa Barbara
To visit Castille de Santa Barbara, you have a choice: Walk 350 feet up Mount Banacantil through wooded and scrubby parkland or walk 200 yards through a tunnel and take the elevator for €2. No invaders could get near without being seen. The first reports of a citadel here come from the 10th century.
