**UPDATE-07.03.09**
Dear Readers,
My dear friend and fashion consultant for this blog Seth Cohen passed away in late April of 2009. I was not sure what to do with his helpful advice given on this site, so I decided to leave his advice on my blog in memory of his passion for art and fashion. Please do not submit style questions as directed by the original post from last year. Feel free to leave your comments about Seth if you’s like. We all miss and love you Seth. ****
After graduating from The Fashion Institute Of Technology in New York , Seth Cohen began working on Seventh Avenue. He is now a partner in the design house of Cesar Galindo. Together, with Cesar, they create couture cocktail evening-wear collections that are imbued with the technical artistry and masterful style of Galindo and the color and silhouette direction of Cohen.
Seth Cohen is one of my heroes because he isn’t only one of the best as what he does, he’s also a great friend. I asked him to contribute to my blog since I figured having an actual fashion designer available for my readers would make things interesting and unique. Seth will be offering his styling and fashion expertise to all who asks and will post responses to your comments often. If you have any questions you can send him an email at seth@isabellagucci.com or simply post your question for Seth in the comments area.
I was recently invited to Cesar Galindo’s trunk show at Sak’s Fifth Avenue in Houston and mingled with the Seth and Cesar. I was blown away by the classic old Hollywood beauty of the collection. These two are geniuses and never fails to impress me each season. Here are some shots from the trunk show. I’m also including some professional shots of Cesar’s Fall 2008 Collection from his website www.cesargalindo.com
Seth I have a question, can I wear panty hose with cocktail dresses or is that unflattering? My sister tells me not to wear panty hose with cocktail dresses but my mother says I’m supposed to, I have no clue. Help!

If you have nice legs that are flaunt-worthy, it is infinitely more modern and chic to forgo the hose. If you have not shaved, or your legs are best left covered, than find hose that work for your body type and lifestyle. Not everything works across the board on every woman, so use your judgement, ask a friend what he or she thinks, or send me a picture and we will figure it out from there!
Love the phrase “flaunt-worthy”! and the gowns are a dream
the designs are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Seth: and i am not really in tune to all of the “latest trends” so i was wondering if u could like give in overview of some of the things that are in and out! thx!!
Can a guy wear pink and not look too girly? I like the way I look in pink but I do not want to look metrosexual. I noticed the rapper Camron was wearing pink a while back but he is the only one. Is this against the rules for men’s fashion. or is this acceptable nowadays?
