Gaultier vs Valentino

RED Hot/

Happy Valentine's Day all!  Here's a little beauty from the Altuzarra show last night... It was my first time seeing his collection and it will not be the last. Hot!Hot!Hot!

SPREAD the love/

Just after hearing about McQueen, I walked into the Richard Chai Love collection. He knew, but most of the girls and the others around had no idea. The show was fresh and positive, and the plan was to keep it that way. Even as word spread down the lineup, the clothes were that good, that strong. LOVE saved the day.

The Soho streets were buzzing - and for the girls, the new season has only just begun.

Here's a peek thru the window:
