we're Obsessed!

Madeleine Vionnet revolutionized fashion in 1912 when she introduced her flowing, bias-cut designs to a corseted Parisian populace. Now Rodolfo Paglialunga, who used to work at Prada, is continuing the house’s tradition of gorgeous, feminine silhouettes. This spectacular belt, with its crystal and gold ornaments, is total waist jewelry. And an essential companion to fluid garments because as everyone knows, if you don’t define your middle, you end up looking shapeless. And that’s not modern at all.
