FASHION BY THE RULES: The Hottest, The Latest, The Sexiest

In continuing on my path of featuring some new talent, I was lucky enough to be contacted by this fabulously talented and inventive designer. Here is a young woman who was actually a psychology and found her calling in New York City as a stylist first and later as a designer.

I am absolutely fascinated by creativity and daring once I saw these “thigh highs.” I tend to think of them as the 21st century leg warmers for upscale women. While the company also produces a fur leg warmer, the all leather version which coincides with the return of over the knee boots, is the item that provokes the keenest display of a new chic. Whether they are in smooth Italian lambskin or stretch suede with snake detailing, these are guaranteed to stop traffic. The question remains, are you daring enough, chic enough, or avante garde enough to own them????

This is the latest accessory to turn your Jimmy Choos or Louboutins into the envy of every shoe fanatic in the metropolitan area. I have showed them to several of my friends and they are ready to own them, wear them and covet them for the coming fall season and Rhianna has already worn hers. As with anything this fabulous, it does not come cheaply but it is surely cheaper than thigh high boots and as we always say, “you get what you pay for and you will get FABULOUS!!!!”

Headlines This Week 9/18

• Michelle Williams these days divides her time between her house in Brooklyn and a house in upstate New York. The location of the latter property is a secret, for understandable reasons: Since the death in 2008 of Heath Ledger, the father of her daughter, Matilda, the beautiful and shy actress has inevitably found herself at the center of a morbid cult and, most pertinent, the object of the tabloids’ banal, destructive intrusiveness.

• We always talk about how skinny models are, and this week a model actually fainted on the catwalk. At Jeffrey Chow’s first collection for the Poleci presentation Saturday night, a model passed out.
