the 64th primetime emmy awards
on sunday, 23 september, the primetime emmy's, the nights of all nights, where all the stars come out to shine, were the glitter and the gucci shine, the guess who is rocking the chanel, but it must be cold in L.A because burberry was brought out by christian dior and dolce&gabbana coats. (she what i did there? no, ok awkward)
here's our top 5 best and worst dressed!
BEST DRESSED:
1) Jessica Pare in Jason Wu gown is two words, absolutely flawless!
2) Actress Sarah Paulson, has probably the prettiest dress of the evening, by Reem Acra. The color is fantastic, the fit is perfect and the detailing is precisely understated.
3) "Mad Men"this Zac Posen design incorporates both sharp angles and big, round curves, and looks light as a feather.
4)Actress Hayden Panettiere is only 5-foot-2 and has the devil of a time finding formal wear that masks her diminutive stature. She hit a home run with this Marchesa gown that makes her look at least six inches taller.
5)Sarah Hyland from "Modern Family" simply looks sweet in this gown of uncertain origin, and the 21-year-old actress' hair and minimal accessories are perfect.
WORST DRESSED:
1)Archie Panjabi, in a Randi Rahm creation, is a maelstrom of satin, over-draped and over-styled.
2) Actress Glenn Close looks like she's wearing a suit on top and a gown down at the bottom.
3) Martha Plimpton's homage to wrought iron looks like a Bourbon Street balcony.
4) Christine Baranski well she thought she was going to an after-party. This dress isn't formal enough for the event or for her age.
5)This is a textbook example of how not to handle voluptuousness. Actress Kat Dennings may be the star of "2 Broke Girls" but here she looks like "1 Clueless Girl" in a J.Mendel gown that tells too much of a story and is topped off by lipstick that's too intense and just-woke-up hair.
thanks,

TOPSHOP!
The iconic Gowings Building on the corner of George St and Market, Sydney will be transformed into the first ever TOPSHOP in Sydney. On the 4th of October 2012 Top Shop will open their doors in this old building which was built in 1863 has seen the likes of the Gowing Brothers and retailers like Supre. But this iconic building with be transformed into something Topshop worthy, the building is going under dramatic renovations which will see the installations of a personal shopping suite. With Zara just around the corner on Pitt St in the Centre Point Tower, Westfield this area of the CBD will be prime shopping areas. In celebration of the opening we are celebrating everything Topshop's, like their current trends, the faces and where they are in your local city or country.
TRENDS: we all know everyone has a guilty pleasure of looking at TOPSHOP. Their current trends are 'Pretty Pennsylvania', 'Sensationalist', 'Factory Girl' and 'Scandi Girl', alongside luxury garments and designer affiliations under 'The Boutique'.
FACES: British supermodel Kate Moss, designed her first collection for Topshop. In July 2007, British artist Stella Vine designed a limited edition fashion range exclusively for Topshop inspired by her colourful artworks. These included T-shirts,vest tops, and T-shirt dresses, with the labels designed in pink glitter. The Guardian commented that "the fact that the range of T-shirts she has recently designed for Top Shop - emblazoned with slogans like Breaking Up With Her Boyfriend - are flying out, speaks volumes for her public support." Shiatzy Chen was approached by Topshop to produce a capsule collection of ready to wear pieces to launch in November 2010.
TOPSHOP has also struck a deal with U.S department store Barneys, New York and sell through 19 stores.

An early vocation...
says the head title of the biographical page of this Libanian designer on his website.
Born in 1964, in Beyrouth, (Beirut) Elie Saab found out about his vocation pretty early, considering at only 9, he started sewing clothes for his sister.
