Favorite looks from DWP

I thought about writing about Rochas today but since all the other blogs have already had it covered I wouldn't want to bore you with the same news kekekeh! But let me just say, it's definitely the end of an era. I was in shock for most of the day on Tuesday after I learned the news in WWD :'( Well I do hope companies like LVMH or Gucci Group - you know, companies that know how to REALLY operate a fashion house - would consider taking over Rochas. I know the clothes from Rochas are not exactly "commoner friendly" as in normal people can't really afford them. But their designs are timeless as well as wearable - clothes that women REALLY want to wear.

I just thought Rochas probably wouldn't have had to close down their business if they came out with an accessory line like so many other fashion houses do. Fashion houses like Chanel and Dior wouldn't have possibly survived if it weren't for their extensive accessory line. I just don't think P&G was trying hard enough to make this work. Well, after all, they specialize in consumer goods, not couture! Having said that, I don't think Oliver Theyskens will be unemployed for long... Heard there are talks between him and Oscar de la Renta already. Gosh that'll be so awesome if things work out between the two! Well, nonetheless I'll miss Rochas very, very much *sob sob*

Anyways, back to DWP. Today I'd like to present you some of my favorite looks from The Devil Wears Prada (okay I hear you say "GET OVER IT!" ha ha!). I've always adored Anne Hathaway and I think she totally pulls off the whole high-fashion-chic look with a touch of regal class!
