Happy Valentine’s Day! As an homage to this day celebrating love and romance, the Grand Mademoiselle has decided to depart from the typical and stake out a new conception of the relationship between the sexes and the impact of St. Valentine on style. Forget lingerie, lacy pink pillows, red hearts, and boxes of gooey Godiva’s. If Valentine’s Day is all about idealized, overwrought expressions of emotion for the opposite sex, let’s do it right my dear Grand M’s by using this day to point sweet Cupid’s arrow in a new direction.
It has been argued that both sexes retain qualities of the other, such that we find the feminine in the masculine and vice versa. The Grand M proposes that this intermingling of aspects should serve as our guide in celebrating Valentine’s Day. The Grand M will use this day to explore the masculine within, paradoxically unveiling the most feminine via the seductive allure of manly attire. Bid
adieu to rosy red pajamas and say hello to the dominating, dynamic force of black satin and the appeal of a well-cut tuxedo jacket.
McQueen’s less pricey
McQ collection has the perfect one, made of
black stretch wool with a surprising rubberized trim, curved lapels, and a single button fastening.
You won’t be just another stiff in a suit in this jacket, and the feminine contours, nipped waist, and print lining make this take on the tuxedo the ideal solution to pulling off the dominatrix inspired look behind this Valentine’s Day. Why seduce him with candy and frills when you can boldly strut into the room, hands on hips, chin held high in this gorgeous jacket? The best way to keep the masculine edge to a minimum is by pairing the tuxedo jacket with a devilishly skinny black satin pant that glorifies your magnificently feminine shape. Don
Alice + Olivia’s satin trousers, with their curve-hugging straight leg and light-reflective sheen and he’ll have no doubt that you are every bit the woman who knows what she wants. If St. Valentine’s Day 2008 is all about showing him just how female you really are through masculine dressing, slip into a pair of
Delman Beila’s and you’ll have him drooling in two seconds flat (perhaps partly out of fear, but this is not necessarily a bad thing).
The sky-high heel and blindingly black patent leather, offset by a tiny buckle across the toe, makes the
Beila at once Cupid’s nightmare and your greatest asset. The Grand M firmly believes that a man is more successfully enticed by a great pair of heels than a mushy love letter sealed with red lipstick kisses. The
Beila is
real love, and will get your point across more clearly than any Hallmark creation. To avoid looking tacky, skip the tilted black fedora and opt for a delicately industrial headband, such as
Colette Malouf’s metal mesh wave accessory. The silver metal strands are uncontrived and rich in shapely abandonment, forming gauzy wings that will nestle in your locks like a halo. After all, you
aren’t a man, and even the most masculine attire requires a dash of subtlety. The Grand M promises you that this will be a Valentine's Day to remember...
