Emmy Fashion - The Good

For me, Januray Jones was the best dressed of the night. Considering she's shoved into corsets and control top pantyhose every day this dress is a nice departure. It has a futuristic bodace, but an old school train. It's part Betty Draper, part Jane Jetson. It's modern, fun, and the lines cut her body very nicely. The dress is Atelier Versace.

The rest are in no particular order.

Olivia Wilde showed up in Marchesa which means only one thing. Harvey Weinstein now owns her.

This is actress Lindsay Price in J. Mendel. This may be a contoversial pick, but I always appreciate someone who wears a bold colour.

Kate Walsh showed up in a greyish-white J. Mendel dress with Louis Vuitton shoes, and an Aldo clutch!!! I totally appreciate a big star walking the red carpet in something they picked up at their local mall. Kate's keepin' it real.

Drew Barrymore went the whimsical route and opted for a Monique Lhuillier princess dress. She accessorized with Anna Hu jewels, Raven Kauffman's “Drew” clutch and Casadei shoes. We somehow think that Little Edie would have showed up in something a little more daring. Christina Hendricks looking sexy in a L’wren Scott dress, Fred Leighton jewels and Prada clutch and shoes. The dress shows off her curves, but the choice of a darker colour is also flattering. Joan Holloway would approve.

Jimmy Choo for H&M pt. 2

Here's a sneak peek at the new Jimmy Choo capsule collection for H&M. Style Today snapped these photos of the Lexmond sisters at Doutzen Kroes for Repeat show. The line looks really promising and legit.

The sisters were wearing head to toe Jimmy Choo for H&M. They were wearing a grey suede dress with matching shoes and a zebra clutch, and a black one shoulder leather dress with a zebra studded bag and shoes. The sisters also mentioned that the products were high quality and extremely comfortable.

If this is only the tip of the iceberg for the collection I might just find myself waking up at 3am and lining up at H&M and preparing to fight someone for the pieces.

Marchesa adds Handbags to Brand

The design duo behind Marchesa, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, are diving into the accessory line for their label. The purses will hit stores in 2010. "We had never done accessories,” said co-founder and designer Georgina Chapman. “So we thought, ‘Let’s approach it the way we approach a dress."

The bags are consistent with their dresses. They are detailed with draping,beading, pleating, and corsetry. The inside of the bags are grosgrain ribbon, while the exteriors are made of satin, silk, and alligator, crocodile and lizard skins. The handbags are functional as well. Each bag fits all a girls essentials such as a Blackberry, make-up, and keys. The girls were inspired to create a purse line because all of their own purses lacked the necessary compartments to hold all of their things. "We were frustrated that we couldn't find a bag to fit it all," says Craig.

Marchesa is hoping that this endeavour will give shoppers an excuse to purchase something from the brand. "Some people don't always have an occasion for a gown. You could wear these with jeans and a T-shirt," adds Chapman.

The collection will be available anywhere Marchesa is sold (Holt Renfrew, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus etc.). The bags aren't cheap, They run from $995 up to $5,000.
