What's Yuri Ahn Wearing for #MFW?
Posted Sep 19, 2011
Yuri Ahn... When she was asked the question ‘what does your wardrobe look
like?’, she had answered in a simple yet effective way:’It looks like the dream
of every girl...’ Actually she was right: boxes of Hermes, YSL and Chanel in a
corner, leopard print dresses of all lengths of Dolce&Gabbana around the
room and an army of shoes under her bed, in her closet and scattered around; it
really DID look like a dream. A fashionable one, well of course.
She was happy yet quite stressed when I arrived to her house here. She was
rather simple: a little black dress, no heels, light make-up. She said: ‘I have
two photoshoots this week. One with Style.it, the other with Harper’s Bazaar AND
on Thursday, I am invited to the event of the year... THE Dolce&Gabbana
Show! What do I wear, iwork4dg? What do I wear?’
Ok, as soon as I entered to Yuri Ahn’s closet, I saw why she was so confused.
The room looked more like a multibrand megastore than a closet of a fashion
editor. She had everything: from Lanvin’s vintage accessories to
Dolce&Gabbana’s iconic corsets... From YSL heels to Hermes’ famous Birkin...
I turned around and told her: ‘No worries, let’s choose together!’
‘Leopard
prints?’ or ‘leopard prints??’ that’s all that matters. I did a ‘best of’ list
of what she had with leopard prints then put them on her bed for a closer look.
She said: ‘Maybe I can use the leopard blouse?'
Yuri
said: ‘Higher the heels, closer I feel to David Gandy’s lips...’ And I laughed
like a kid, she was so sweet as she said that yet very charismatic too. I noted
what she said down then started picking up some of my favourite heels together.
The chandelier heels? The Dolce&Gabbana pumps? The Kirkwood killer sandals?
Welcome
to the wonders of Yuri Ahn’s wardrobe: with many different bags of Chanel to
choose to from, the selection was getting harder to finalize...
I
had never imagined Birkin to be so beautiful! She was lying in an orange box
like a beautiful princess in a tub of milk... With flower accessories made by
Yuri herself in the box, the bag looked so cool.
When
I saw this combination, I knew she had to pick this one: mini star print dress
and matching lace shoes with stars by Dolce&Gabbana. A star should be born,
she can’t be created yet with a Dolce&Gabbana dress, she might as well be
reborn... As a star that is.
Perfume?
Well, that’s what she still has to decide... Artisan? Keiko Mecheri? Fracas de
Robert Piguet? Chanel?

At 27, Dolce&Gabbana have achieved an impressive status, client base and cult following. The brand’s capacity to take the artistic traditions and aesthetic of Italy and make them their own is unsurpassable and highly romantic to fashion lovers. Their idiosyncratic designs, ironic take on classic dress and the brand’s emblematic items have all contributed in making Dolce&Gabbana a household name. For this instalment of our archive lead considerations of what makes up the Dolce&Gabbana DNA we concentrate on maybe one of the strongest statement the designers have made over the years: the corset.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
Kylie Minogue has had a very very good week indeed. Sparkling brighter than ever at the Cannes Film Festival premier of ‘Holy Motors’, wearing Dolce&Gabbana, and then causing explosive reaction throughout the internet when her new single and video ‘Timebomb’ was dropped today.
