Does your little black dress need a little edge, a little toughness? Are you eager to express your Lower East Side inner goth princess? If you answered yes to one or both of these, then this H2WI is just what you need. Take said LBD, mix in easy-to-wear goth-inspired accessories, fling a soft, supple leather purse with contrasting hardware over your shoulder, slip on that requisite LBLJ (that is, litttle leather black jacket to you), add a dollop of feminine flair with an uxpected pearl bracelet and a pop of color with a pair of bright booties. Um, after that, you're good to go!


Styles featured: GF Ferre Black Multi Zip Extended Puff Sleeve Leather Jacket with Ruffle Should Seams, Moschino Black Drape Neckline Silk Dress with Shoulder Tie, Jean Paul Gaultier Antique Silver-toned Laiton with Clear Crystal Glass Maltese Cross Earrings, Jean Paul Gaultier Silver-tone Laiton Glass Bead Bracelet, Rafe New York Lambskin Rivington Leather and Tassel Detail Handbag, Jean Paul Gaultier Antique Silver-tone Brass and Marcassite Maltese Cross Ring, and L.A.M.B. Yellow Camden Peep Toe Shoe Bootie with Leather Overlay Detail.

IT'S RAINING GUCCI FOR RIHANNA AND UNICEF

The avid music loving Frida Giannini, Creative Director for Gucci, has tapped Lil' Ms. Sunshine, Rihanna, to be the spokesmodel for their fall advertisement highlighting its collaboration with UNICEF (United Nation’s Children’s Fund).

The ads were shot by the in-demand husband and wife team, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, in Paris, with the ads slated to premiere in December issues of fashion magazines. “So when we decided to dedicate a full ad campaign, more than just creating products, to really come out and show our commitment to UNICEF, we wanted someone with a strong personality,” Giannini said post-photoshoot, during her interview with WWD.

And of course we all know well, unless you have been living somewhere in the universe where fashion does not matter, that Rihanna loves rocking Gucci. She wore the emerald green criss-cross neckline gown with plunging back belted to the “A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF” benefit, a patterned belted mini at the Kids' Choice Awards and has been photographed all over the world carrying countless Gucci handbags styles.

So it would seem that this match, cemented after Rihanna’s rendition of Umbrella at the Malawi fund-raiser, is a match made in heaven, and a very worthy cause will benefit from the union.
