Designers Carolina Herrera and Jeremy Scott reveal new collections

September 12, 2016 By creative

(Reuters) – Fashion designer Carolina Herrera celebrated 35 years in the business by taking over The Frick Collection, a museum on Manhattan’s upper eastside, to debut her collection at New York Fashion week on Monday. “This show is very special to me,” Herrera told Reuters, noting she'd like to take some of the looks of her first collection and design “for the woman of today.” The 39 “looks” were tailored but combined with soft edges to maintain the feminine attitude of the brand. The 77-year-old Venezuela native started designing in 1980 in New York and counted her first show among her proudest career moments.

The top 5 beauty trends from the autum/winter 2016 Fashion Week shows (PHOTO question)

March 9, 2016 By admin

As urban grunge makes its comeback (at least on the catwalk), so it is only natural that eye makeup becomes bigger, darker and smudgier. In Paris, the look was demonstrated by the thick-winged eyeliner at Saint Laurent that flicked up to the temple and the eyeshadow that filled the models' sockets at Sacai. The “heavy liner” look was more minimalist but still striking at Topshop Unique in London, whereas the Tadashi Shoji show in New York featured a softer, smudgier take on the trend.

Prada goes handbag heavy in bid to revive flagging fortunes

February 26, 2016 By publisher

Prada's answer to stagnating sales was unveiled on Thursday with a handbag-heavy Fall-Winter collection that the company's executives hopes will mark a revival in the fortunes of the fashion heavyweight's flagging fortunes. Miuccia Prada's latest offering had a post-World War II feel about it with sailor and nurse-style caps abounding alongside cape-shaped coats and pencil skirts designed to emphasise the slender waists of more austere times. Prada could do with this collection being a major hit after two consecutive years of stagnating sales and no sign of an end to the slowdown in China that is hitting it particularly hard.
