Fashion fast forward- AW14 Asymmetrical Tailoring

Asymmetrical Tailoring

Autumn is only months away and trend forecasters around the fashion world have been doing some educated guessing into what the key features will be running throughout the shops. In the 'Pre-Fall' 14 collections designers including 'Victor and Rolf' and 'Philip Lim' showcased asymmetrical tailoring. Some of the designers have also played with layering and the combination of different textures to create the effect. This trend has adapted from the relaxed tailoring shown during the SS14 catwalks, in which loose crepe blazers are a staple piece for spring/summer. Fast forward a few months and we are expected to see a more structured and sophisticated tailoring leading us into a chic winter.

Joseph Altuzarra x Target AW14

American giants Target have teamed up with another designer for a Autum collaboration. This time it's the relatively 'new' designer Joseph Altuzurra. With Altuzurra only landing on the scene in 2008 it's safe to say that his luxurious and effotlessly cool designs have become a hit with many celebrites such a Jennifer Lawrence and has catapulted him into stardom. However we have to wait until September to see the collection which will also be avaible, globally, on net-a-porter.

Congrats Joseph!

Gisele Bundchen for Chanel No. 5

With the most recent faces of the iconic Chanel No.5 include Marylin Monroe and Brad Pitt, the pressure was on to find someone who could be worthy enough to be the next ambassador. Before the unveiling, there was a lot of talk surrounding Bajen beauty Rihanna and Karls favourite Cara Delevigne. Chanel has intact decided on Victoria Secret angel, and seventh highest earning model Gisele Bundchen. The Brazilian supermodel was chosen for her 'natural beauty and modern femininity'. She is certainly no stranger to the brand as she is face on the beauty cult favourite Chanel Les Beiges.

A short film, capturing Gisele and the Chanel No. 5 brand, will be directed by the Oscar winning Baz Luhrmann. It is a decade since he last shot with Chanel which featured actress Nicole Kidman. The new ads are expected to be released later this year. Keep your eyes peeled for that!

Kimberley Kardashian and Kanye West

Most anticipated wedding since Cathrine the Dutchess of Cambridge tied the knot with Prince William, is that of the reality star Kim Kardashian and the lavish rapper Kanye West.

Speculation surrounding the details of the West's wedding have been on going for months with them both remaining tight lipped on the event. 

Thier wedding extravaganza set off in Paris, France with a private dinner with Mr Valentino himself which sparked rumours that Kim would wear custom Valention (how wrong we were) it was held at his breathtaking mansion, Chateau de Wideville where they were all serenaded by an equalling breathing taking voice, Lana Del Ray. The next day, guests were whisked off to Florence, Italy for the big day. In true Kanye style everything down to the dress, stage, venue was impeccable. I don't know whether you remember but a few weeks ago, Kim Kardashian shared a instagram video of her gift from Kanye west on mothers day. A wall of flowers. This was the biggest hint to the masterpiece of the wedding and we didn't even know it. 


This same style of flowers was used for the backdrop of the wedding, which beautifully contrasted with the green surroundings. White seemed to play a prominated theme within the event. The groom dressed in custom made black Givancey suit, and the bride, also in Givancey! Ricardo Ticci is truly a master of his work and this did not change for Mrs West's dress. From images surfing social media it seemed that the gown was a high necked, long sleeved, lace style with pearl detailing. Her hair was worn loose and natural and makeup as flawless as ever. I imagine that visionary, Kanye had a lot of input to how he wanted his bride to be and she looked every bit stunning. Although we have only received glimpses of the special day it seemed encaptured by elegance, regalness and class. Look below for pictures.
