Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl: Helena Suric
See what Vogue Bookings Director Helena Suric wore last week.
Photographed by Phil Oh1/15DAY ONE: MORNING: My work as Bookings Director at Vogue keeps me beyond busy. Here, I m up early on a Monday morning and en route to the office.
This dress by socially minded designer Amelia Toro is hand-sewn and beaded by a single seamstress in Colombia—her name, Maria, is sewn inside. I ve paired the dress with Canadian designer **Arielle de Pinto’**s crocheted gold and silver necklace.
Hair: Franco Gobbi; Make-Up: Mariko Hirano

He debated with a friend whether it was better suited to a man or woman and they asked me to be the tie-breaker. I said "a woman," and when he conceded, I swiftly purchased it myself!

At the Met, Alber Elbaz told me he loved how I wore this Lanvin gown when he spotted me in it as he made his way up the stairs to the receiving line. This was definitely the greatest fashion compliment I have ever received!
I paired this dress with a red shoe on the advice of a colleague. The shoes and the pale pink Perrin Paris gloves flatter the gown perfectly.
