Youth to the fore as Milan fashion week opens

September 21, 2016 By admin

Milan fashion week kicked off on Wednesday with collections from Italian labels Grinko and Blugirl setting a youth-orientated tone for six days of catwalk creativity. Next up were newcomers Wunderkind, the youth-targeted branch of Germany's Joop which is one of three Milan debutants among the 71 catwalk shows scheduled between now and Monday. Paris-based couture star Giambattista Valli has shown his own younger line, Giamba, in Milan before but Friday's show will be the first time it has been included in the official programme.

March 9, 2016 By creative

Saint Laurent went full-throttle killer miniskirt glam, but the decade was also there in the hugely influential Vetements and Balenciago shows, Kenzo, Veronique Leroy, Maison Margiela, Lanvin and Giambattista Valli. Loewe, Louis Vuitton and Taiwanese star Shiatzy Chen all went for black leather bustiers, with the last two pairing them with skinhead and dominatrix boots to up the kick-ass attitude. Valentino even toughened up the tutu, with Sacai, John Galliano and Margiela all taking a military bearing.

The latest beauty looks from Paris Fashion Week

March 9, 2016 By admin

As Paris Fashion Week draws to a close, it's time to reflect on the hottest beauty looks modelled on the autumn/winter 2016 catwalks. It wasn't all about the darkness, however — Stella McCartney used luminescent shadow at the inner corners of the models' eyes to make them pop, while Giambattista Valli, perhaps inspired by the recent social media trend for glitter eyebrows, sent Gigi Hadid down the runway with subtly sparkling brows. Chanel's eye makeup reached the brow bone and was lightly latticed, echoing the house's famous quilting technique.

Fashion meets architecture: the biggest looks from Paris haute couture

January 29, 2016 By admin

Architectural fashion was the name of the game at the Spring 2016 Haute Couture shows in Paris this week, where bold structures and exaggerated silhouettes dominated the runways. Stephane Rolland mastered the look with a show-stopping postbox red layered dress that fanned outwards in a choppy, sculpted fashion. Elsewhere on the catwalks, Giambattista Valli sent out tiered gowns featuring triangular layer upon layer of stiff, frothy organza, and Alexis Mabille played with loose, voluminous structures that riffed on breezy nightwear but were in fact fitted to protrude outwards from the body.
