Kate Bosworth in Jil Sander

Kate Bosworth recently attended the 2010 Hollywood Style Awards in the Jil Sander t-shirt ball gown, which we looooooooooved at Milan Fashion Week. Not everyone loved this like we did. And, as we sit here today, we're actually a little torn. We still very much like the idea of this very simple dress, turned elegant ball gown. And this may be sacrilegious, but there is something very J Crew about this dress (which is not necessarily a bad thing). We also think Kate looks young, fresh and fashion forward and better than the model as she actually fills the dress out.


But we kinda wish Kate had styled her look just a bit differently from the runway show and jazzed it up just a bit, with a sparkly statement necklace or some giant diamond studs. Of course, maybe that would defeat the purpose of the whole dress as an exercise in simplicity? What do you think readers? Perfect as is, Terrible all around, or Add some sparkle?

The Great Pumpkin at Milan Fashion Week

Just in time for the Halloween season, we present the Great Pumpkin. In all fairness to Raf Simons who designed the 2011 Spring Jil Sander Collection, we actually loved several of his looks recently shown at Milan Fashion Week.  In the collection, Mr. Simons played with both volume and layering of garments in unexpected ways with fantastically bright colors. This look, however, was not one of the looks that we loved. The proportions of this dress are, in a word, enormous.We can't imagine how a normal person would ever wear this, except of course as a halloween costume.
