The 2011/12 Press Release

SA best and worst dressed women™ 2011 

During the year 2011, we saw preposterous, over-the-top, and sometime bizarre designs worn by International Superstars like Nicky Minaj, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.  Naturally, almost anyone who wanted to emulate their “gowns” in any way could easily find themselves on worst dressed lists all over the world. 

HSH Princess Charlene Wittstock2011 also saw SA’s first ever royal princess, HSH Charlene Grimaldi (Wittstock) taking the international world of true style by storm.   Those who looked to her for style inspiration, had to choose from a simple, classic, and meaningful wardrobe, and celebrated the power that an understated and classy demeanor can bring you. 

These listings of notable individuals on separate lists of Best dressed women and/or Worst dressed women, are here by popular demand.  As a designer, it shall never be my intention to criticize, but to give guidance.  It is my responsibility to remain honest as a style ambassador as to what works for which figure, age and occasion and what does not.   When you are in the public eye, you have no choice but to be groomed (almost to perfection) and dressed correctly, and to do this… is as easy as 1, 2, 3, …

1 – dress age-appropriate

2 – dress figure flattering

3 – dress for the occasion

Fashion is about re-invention and grooming is a tool.  This shapes your inner point of view, and subsequently your outer sense of style.  If your view has integrity, you have this incredible power!
