Nick Verreos and Stylist Jen Rade Do It Again On TV Guide's The Fashion Team "What's The Fashion"!


What's The Fashion Fashionistas???
What A Couple: Fashion Designer Nick Verreos and Stylist/Costume Designer Jen Rade, TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team" TV Show

This last weekend, my favorite stylist-fashion-expert-in-crime---Stylist/Costume Designer Jennifer Rade--and I, were at it again bringing you what was "Hot" and "Not So Hot" in the week's Red Carpet Celeb World for our weekly "What's The Fashion" segment for TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team".

On the set while filming, my co-host, Jen ,was perfection, wearing a silk georgette bias-cut cowl-necked number and her luscious curly locks. And I, well, I was giving you "mini" bow-tie.

Our "The Fashion Team" host, Lawrence Zarian was in NY with his besties--Regis & Kelly--so we had to fend for ourselves. We had lots of fun giving our "Fashion Two Cents" on Cher, Christina Aquilera, Debi Mazar and Julianne Moore.

Lady Gaga’s Killer Dress at the Louvre

http://www.swide.com/binaries/content/gallery/2010/November/30/gaga-museum/main-gaga.jpg

Dolce&Gabbana is representing Italian creativity and craftsmanship with two dresses at Parisian MusĂ©e Des Arts DĂ©coratifs. Lady Gaga’s famous corset-armor dress is the first one!

The corset armor dress in laminated leather is presented in a chic box at MusĂ©e Des Arts DĂ©coratifs. It’s obvious that an average fashion addict would recognize the dress from New Sexy Glam 2007 collection and Jessica Stam wearing it on the runway; yet a true fashionista would smile for sure at how creative the presentation of this piece is since it was worn by Lady Gaga in the ‘Paparazzi’ video while getting her mugshots taken at the police station.
news by Swide



Wow this dress is really a scupture,when i first saw it i thought it was metal,here i learn is laminated leather, i can't resist sewing one like this by myself(i know i know, it like impossible but i like challenges!)

Dolce e Gabbana rappresentano la creativitĂ  italiana al Louvre con 2 vestiti in esposizione di cui uno Ăš il famoso corsetto armatura indossato da lady gaga.
Questo vestito Ăš fantastico Ăš una scultura,avevo pensato fosse di metallo,qui leggo invece che si tratta di pelle laminata, fantastico,non so se resisterĂČ alla tentazione di cucirmene uno simile(si lo so Ăš impossibile ma mi piacciono le sfide!)

Over the sky and above:topshop shoes s/s 2011 preview


Topshop perspex wedges for S/S 11

This a preview of the spring summer Topshop shoes collection,it's all about tassels and perpex and wedges. I love the woven details but i'm not sure if i'll be able to walk in them!
We should open a discussion on perpex heels.At first they were strippers heels but then they have been revaluated by prada with her chandelier heels. I have to say perpex has a sci-fi,futuristic appeal that i love.In these particular topshop heels there's contrast,it's like past meets future because we have a leather work that evokes handcraft and the perpex heel that speaks of future.I still have to think about them.
It's fun that some of the fashion we're thinking for the future,leather,studs perpex,metallic details it's the same fashion we've seen is some sci-fi films set in the future shot throughout the ages,it's like we're living the future in the exact way we thought it would be.


Un assaggio della collezione di scarpe estiva di topshop. Intrecci,pennacci e zeppe di plexiglass. Adoro i dettagli intrecciati ma non so se sarĂČ in grado di camminarci.
Dovremmo aprire una discussione sui tacchi di plexi. Prima solo appannaggio delle spogliarelliste sono stati sdoganati di prada con la sua proposta chandelier heels.Per quanto mi riguarda il plexiglass ha un appeal molto futuristico.Queste scarpe di topshop sono costituite dal contrasto tra passato e futuro. I dettagli in pelle evocano artigianato mentre il tacco in plexi guarda al futuro, devo pensarci un po' su.
E' divertente vedere che la moda che oggi indossiamo come quella pensata per i prossimi anni come pelle,borchie,dettagli metallici sia la stessa che abbiamo visto nei film di fantascienza degli ultimi 30 anni, sembra che stiamo vivendo il futuro proprio come l'avevamo pensato!

Nick Verreos Figure Skating Fashion Blog UniversalSports.com: Grand Prix of France/Trophee Eric Bompard!


Bonjour France!

French Figure Skater Brian Joubert skating his Short program at Trophee Eric Bompard before pulling out of the Free Program as a result of gastroenteritis

I can't believe it's almost over! Well, the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Finals, that is. We've "traveled" the entire Globe--Japan, China, Russia, Canada and the United States--in search of the top figure skaters in the world. As well as in search of the best and not-so-best Figure Skating Costumes.

This last weekend was the Trophee Eric Bompard in France, the last stop before the Final Grand Prix in Beijing China (it's in two weeks!). Of course, I was watching to see who would make the final cut and eventually go to Beijing, but naturally, I was also watching for the costumes and for my UniversalSports.com Figure Skating Blog.

I also especially LOVE the Grand Prix of France because they always have the MOST FABULOUS "Kiss-and-Cry" section! They make Russia's--and every other Grand Prix for that matter--look as if they're in someone's Trailer Park! Leave it to the French: Always Chic. Here are some (Costume) highlights from this past weekend: Once again, there were a few Costume Changes. Check it all out below:

US Figure Skater Mirai Nagasu's Costume Changes

Memoirs of a Pretty Skate:
Another Change in Costume! What is happening? Are these ladies actually reading my comments here on UniversalSports.com? (I privately hope so!). I like this new costume: It’s young, fresh; love the bright white color and the delicate youthful flower detail. However (you know that was coming), I wished that the skirt would have been a lighter more flowy chiffon or georgette fabric.

US Figure Skater Alyssa Czisny's Costume Changes

Color Genius:
At first glance, I actually thought Alyssa Czisny’s costume was a brand-new costume. But soon enough I realized “Oh wait, it’s the SAME costume!” but she did something really unique. She added a splash of hand-painted color and Voila: New costume! I think it’s actually quite genius of her (or her people) to have done that. I call this “New Costume for the Economic Recession!” I liked the costume before but now, I LOVE it!

Japan's Haruka Imai at Grand Prix of France/Trophee Eric Bompard

Kismet On Ice:
Haruka Imai’s colorful costume, in which she skated to the Polovetsian Dances, or better known for its “Stranger In Paradise” melody, was a little over the top I thought. It may have been a bit too literal for me. I liked the intricate top but lose the “car wash” fringed skirt and tacky arm bands. Along with her flailing arm movements, those two things didn’t help.

Fumie Suguri's Costume: From Bad to Good...or Bad to Worse???

See what I thought about Japan's Fumie Suguri Costume Re-do--plus all the other costumes from Grand Prix of France
