Vanessa Bruno

really helena?

i'm just tired of seeing them.

and i think they are just way too overpriced.

i mean 340 dollars for a sequin bag... not my thing.

i'd rather buy a marc by marc jacobs bag

 

[helena]

oh well....you can get them in Paris for 75 euros. so that is overpriced.

 

[morriseel]

isn't vanessa the one with the hideous sequined handbags?

ungh.

i've seen those everywhere in japan for upwards of 300 dollars.

I love these bags too and personally own 5. Hideous is probably a bit strong..even if you dislike them. Anyway, her designs are far and away the most beautiful fit of clothing I have ever worn. Perhaps you could look past the bags..to her clothes!

haha yeah

i guess.

i just can't get past the idea that those bags in japan are 300 dollars...

and they're sequined. and not even leather.

they remind me of the overpriced hermes tote bag.

Does anyone know where to access pictures from older Vanessa Bruno collections? I've searched the archives, but most of the pictures from the older threads are no longer available (missing, or replaced with the current season).
Thanks!

...
ridicuous!!

Here's a picture of a dress I got at Vanessa Bruno's store in Paris- It has a beautiful weight to the fabric and lovely structure. It has double armholes- so one in the traditional place and then wider ones trimmed with black satin. I have a hard time wearing some of her more flimsy pieces- they just make me look like I'm wearing a potato sack sometimes.

 

[softgrey]

really cute!...
double arm holes...!!
how clever...
so you get that 'open' armhole look without exposing 1/2 your torso...

...

 

[stealthmodesteph]

^hehe- yes, no side boob action! It has a very futuristic look when worn.

 

[tourist10]

^ love your dress stealthmodesteph! I must say, your Paris shopping trip was quite successful!

I like Vanessa Bruno in theory, but I feel like her clothes are made for the tall only ... some of the tops and dresses so long in the torso. Although I wore a VB dress today and think I might wear another one tomorrow ... maybe those work b/c they are more empire waist. I agree with you stealthmode, some of her clothes do look a bit flimsy to the point of shapeless.

 

[softgrey]

yeah...i agree...

i think that is why i never wore the grey top i got in paris..
*that's going on ebay...

it's so gorgeous but i am particularly shortwaisted so it doesn't work on me..
so no matter how much i love some of her stuff...
i simply cannot wear them...

i do best with her empire pieces or dropped waist...
and i do have a couple of pairs of pants that i have gotten an incredible amount of use from...

unfortunately the fit on the pant has not been consistent...
which is disappointing because i thought i had found an ongoing source for great fitting pants...
but it turned out not to be ...

[luckyme]

maybe this should be moved to the STYD thread?

 

[softgrey]

^^as you wish......

 

[stealthmodesteph]

adorefaith- thanks! you can see the rest of my purchases and photos from my trip on my blog. I think there is a link to it on my profile.

 

[softgrey]

adoref....
this is the top in question...

i tried it on again...
i don't know..
i really love it...

i think maybe it's just the wrong size for me..
it's size 1 and i should have gotten a 2...
but i don't think they had one so i just got it anyway..
......

 

[lemeray]

I think those sequined bags are hideous aswell but apart from that I love Vanessa Bruno, I got some great things on sale recently

On a side note, stealthmodesteph,your blog is great and in my favorites now! Love the Nine West sneakers and your outfits are gorgeous!

I have the same problems with VB's clothes.
In theory, I like what she does but there's always something that's not quite right for me.
But, I bought an empire jumper dress on ebay, though I still didn't received it, I think and hope it will fit me right...
