The Brilliance of Alexander McQueen!

Even though Alexander McQueen has passed away his brilliance and Iconic style lives on. With Sara Burton is now the new designer but is still Alexander's name. 
Sara Burton was a pointed by The Fashion Gucci as Creative Director/ Designer in may 2010.
In her pairs Fall/Winter Collection in march there was a lot of fur and white colours. The bottom of the dresses are pleated and there is a lot of emphasis on the waist line with pin stripes. There later some grays come into it still including fur and different shapes and straps are introduced before a lot more adventurous designs come out. These are the designs to scream Alexander McQueen. Powerful. Daring. Different.


Alexander Was close to Lady GAGA as he designed most of her wacky and daring outfits.




I LOVE Alexander McQueen and last year his death was a tragedy not only for his family and his friends but for Fashion too. But hopefully his iconic designs and label itself will live on with the help of Sara.



Chiffon Chic! Continued....

I am a Genius or WHAT?? So yesterday I am reading my favorite magazine LOOK, and the first page is Florence (as in Florence and the Machine) and she was in america doing a gig and there was a picture of her doing two of them and she was wearing the most beautiful Chiffon dress by Gucci  and it looked stunning! It was like a she read my blog and asked Gucci to make her one! I am so pleased and had to share it!
I new I could predict high-street fashion quiet well but not celeb fashions!!!!
I am so Happy! I have Scanned the page so you can see! 


Enjoy! (I Know I did!)
















The top picture expresses the movement of Chiffon exactly how I meant it on the other post and it 
looks Great! Florence has done a great job of proving my point!


I love this picture and I love Florence and she has showcased chiffon chic perfectly!
I hope I haven't come across as cocky or arrogant but just patient for fashion and my little successes!
SORRY! This post was meant to go yesterday but the picture wasn't working its still not so i will up load the picture later!
SOO SORRY!

Festival Fever

The festival fever has hit the high-street! Festivals are at their prime so make the most of the festival fever while its still in the stores!
I don't go to festivals its not really my thing but i love all the fashion the shops bring out in celebration of them!


 The three main shops that I've noticed that have some really nice stuff in that section were Republic, Miss Selfridge, TopShop and Jane Norman (though not for much longer for them!). I've Noticed that this sort of string stuff with tassels is in this year as well as  waist coats. I love This and I saw a Gorgeous one in topshop for £40. Republic has theses fabulous bright coloured wellies for the mud. Gold chunky jewelry and maxi dresses to finish the perfect festival wardrobe. 




                                             
 
 














I especially Like the Maxi dress and Gold earrings the earrings just pull the outfit together and the maxi is so elegant but just makes a perfect festival outfit!

Chiffon Chic!

I just love the Chiffon material. Its Gorgeous. It moves in such a way its so silky and soft. I just love chiffon blouses and dresses that are flowy this just looks fantastic down the runway when it flows and with the wind flowing through it it just looks divine. The colours I especially like is peach and baby pink. With chiffon and this light and beautiful colours infusing with the flowy-ness of the dress just screams romance and beauty.   


Other than the colour this is a perfect example

PARIS FASHION WEEK!

I have contemplated all day what my post will be. I haven't written in a title as I still have no idea what fabulous post I'm going to write today. I've had many ideas of what to write like about how Jane Norman is closing down. (This is one of my favorite shops, it classy fashion but with a bit of a price tag. But the only up side to a pricey shop closing down is a massive sale!)
See if i wrote my whole post on that it wouldn't be very much. No. I want a great idea for a post. Something really drop dead brilliant post. I put my iPod on full blast in the background hoping for a burst of inspiration. But no. Hmm this is a hard one. BINGO!

Paris Fashion Week! That's it this will be my fashion post!
This year the Paris week is called Pairs Haute Couture Fashion Week! 
Dior started with bright and bold colour surprising as its a fall/winter. there was a lot of speculation if Bill Gaytten if he to replace John Galliano or not.

There was a lot of excitement over the model Anja Rubik being the face of the debut perfume by Elie Saab. He showed his collection Haute Couture earlier that day. The model was wearing the most beautiful dress, gold chiffon this was on the billboards through out the streets and metro line.

This Fashion week has been Fantastic and there's loads of it! I can't wait for the rest!

Lady Dior

So I just love  Dior, But the Lady Dior line is my overall favorite! The Lady Dior bag so classic timeless it will never get old! To me this bag is about class and fashion coming together!
 That bag is what started the beginning of this year's bag trend. you probably saw the river island that where it started in the high-street. That is how iconic this bag is! I just LOVE IT!
This bag was in inspiration of Lady Diana. And will always be in Fashion!


There is a new line of them four in total they are really cool funky colours but they are horrible! they have messes around with a timeless classic and ruined it! The original are still for sale though (likely) I prefer the smallest size it looks cuter and nicer and more iconic. Dior bags are known for the Dior key-ring with the letters which adds a nice touch to a perfect bag!
This is an inspirational and iconic bag and a great little investment!


These are the new and quite frankly horrid Lady Dior Bags. :{ 


This is class and timeless fashion becoming one! Don't You Just Love It!?
This is the most Iconic and beautiful Bag which Will never go out of fashion in my eyes!

My Love for History of Fashion! 1940s to 1950s!

I Just love keeping up to date with the latest fashions, watching fashions shows and going shopping. But I just adore older fashions. from the late 1940s to the 1950s. i love how iconic the shapes, movements in the skirts/dress and the siluet of the dresses. I also love the hair how its sooooo neat yet sophisticated and in away fashionable! The dresses are mostly pleated and are layers underneath this makes the movement so nice. The use of  mono tones look very slimming and brings a nice contrasts nicely. The fashions in the 1940s seem to be neater, and the dresses and skirts are longer. The bodices tend to go in outlining your there tinny waist before the skirt part comes out from the hips with flattering pleats. In the 50s the skirt part is less pleated and the hem is higher and the colours are more varied and daring.   
 My favorite is the dresses they are absolutely gorgeous! I will upload some pics and you can see for yourself! But i just love 1940s/50s fashion! X


1940s:










Here is you can see pleats and a longer hem and mono tone colours. And the emphases on the waist line. 




1950s:










Here you can see a shorter hem and more daring colours and prints and less emphases on the waist line. as well as more accessories .
