Alexander McQueen London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
Alexander McQueen London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 took us through the looking glass and into this new concept of the boob thong. We went back in time to Madonna’s bra era, with body chains, flowers in the models’ hair, a really nude makeup, butterfly and pocket watch graphics, leg of mutton sleeves, leather, organza, maid…
Topshop Unique London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
TopShop Unique’s London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 show featured lots of print- leopard, houndstooth, a forest graphic print- even done in sequins! Velvet, fur, sheer silk chiffon, and suede fabrics were used in this 90’s sometimes 80’s looking collection. Shirt dresses, leather minis, collars, tie closures, fur collar jackets… Topship’s LFW FW16 collection was impressively graphic,…
David Koma London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
David Koma’s London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 show was all about metal hardware, wraps, white perforated leather, black leather, wool…gray, white, black, cut away shoulders, turtle necks, stud embellishments, and cut-outs. There were nods to the 90’s and 70’s, the later of which with the development of synthetic materials. There was something reminiscent of Versace,…
Mary Katrantzou London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
Mary Katrantzou was graphically driven for London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016, it’s a marked improvement from her SS16 show! It really is impressive, the graphic manipulation of fur, embellishments, etc. I’m kind of taking London fashion designers with a grain of salt, we can’t hold them to any standards given they don’t have taste. I…
Carnie Crazy: Central Saint Martins London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
Central Saint Martins London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 showed 144 worthless, ugly, unfashionable unwearable pieces of shit. It is the result of a lack of taste, execution and production, and effort. If an Indian factory sent you something like this, you’d part ways knowing that quality control isn’t even the issue. If a designer showed…
Molly Goddard London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
Laughing stock, Molly Goddard London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 is a continuation of the Little People wannabe trend we’re seeing from London “designers,” with disproportionately unflattering looks so grotesque I’m about to discount LFW forever. Molly Goddard LFW FW16 could make even a doll grimace, and is a sorry excuse for fashion.
Gareth Pugh London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 LFW FW16
The Gareth Pugh London Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 collection was very 80’s inspired, with classic cuts and silhouettes, nothing original really except for the styling, which included Hannibal face masks and handcuffs tethering models to briefcases. The stars were annoying, and wannabe Givenchy. Gareth Pugh LFW FW16 had one thing going for it, impeccable tailoring and execution, but…
Runway Beauty and Makeup from New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2016 NYFW MBFW FW16
While the fashion is the main focus of Fashion Week, regardless of the season or locale, when the makeup catches our eye you know it’s interesting, over the top, uniquely original, or done beautifully. It can also be that it either compliments, or more likely, draws away from the clothing, the later of which is…
Going Makeup Mad
Yes, this is part of my Parsons Teen Vogue course. I’m experimenting with color story, OTT make-up and beauty, colored brows and lashes here as part of my 4th course, Fashion Media. I’m creating a pin board which is to show the inspiration of my color story, the beauty and make-up looks that inspire me,…
