Brandon Maxwell Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign Starring Joan, Maria and Lameka

In fashion visuals are everything. For his latest campaign Maxwell utlizes both videos and photography to highlight his designs. Regarding details as well as the inspiration behind the campaign, Brandon Maxwell says,

“Introducing the first in a series of six videos for our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign, starring Joan Smalls. I’ve never set out to do a traditional campaign. In many ways these projects begin less as a vehicle to sell the clothing and more as a therapeutic exercise. To help me gain a deeper understanding of the industry within I work. Maintain some sense of self and to stay steady on the path in search for something I know to be true.

Each season’s campaigns are meant to show my world through my eyes. In this instance it’s the castings, the fittings, process, the way I see it. A world where the women are cast as much for their brains, personality, and dedication as they are for their beauty. Our Fall-Winter 2017 Campaign features six incredible women that I have had the pleasure to get to know and work with on many projects over the years.

These are the women that bring our clothes to life. I think it’s important to hear their stories. To understand that they are more than just what they seem on the runway, and in a way, so are the clothes. They are garments that are meant to be lived in, and that have a purpose.

In all the clothes there is a space left for the woman. The power, the confidence, the unwavering sense of self. In their company, I am somehow able to find strength within myself at the time that I need it the most.”

ERDEM x HM Ad Campaign Starring Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser

Arianne Suggs July 17, 2017July 17, 2017Leave a Comment

When we first heard that ERDEM and HM were coming together for a collaboration we lost our fashion marbles. Then, the pot got even sweeter. We learned that the ERDEM x HM collection would not just include fashions for the ladies, but would prove to be quite historic. ERDEM x HM would also mark the first ever menswear collection for the UK label. Brilliant!

ERDEM x HM Ad Campaign Starring Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser

The campaign for this upcoming couture release stars two of the hottest names in fashion, models Imaan Hammam and Neels Visser. Both supermodels took a moment to alert their fans of the campaign along with the collection’s tentative release. They stated,

“So happy to announce my new campaign with ERDEM and HM. It’s been a pleasure to work with this incredible team! Can’t wait to see it in stores this Fall!

-Imaan Hammam

“I’m very excited to announce my new campaign with ERDEM x HM! It has been so amazing to work with such a talented team on this. Can’t wait to see it in stores this fall! To see the full look I’m wearing and more previews of the collection, peep HM and ERDEM.”

-Neels Visser

Now with many collaborations between fashion houses and HM; they are not always readily available in all markets. A little unfair, but with the way many stores are closing we do not blame HM for keeping things rather limited. In regards to this collection HM says, “We do not have a list of stores that will carry the collection just yet. Please check back as we get closer to the launch date, November 2nd. More information will follow later via social media. Keep an eye on the website and subscribe for the newsletter for any updates.”

So if you want to get a piece of this collection keep the month of November close in mind. Also, hit up the HM social page on the Gram and of course, 1966 Magazine for any additional updates.

Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses

Arianne Suggs July 17, 2017July 17, 2017Leave a Comment

Is geek chic making a fashion trend comeback? In a word, yes! The sophisticated and classic look is all over runway shows for designers and fashion houses such as Dolce and Gabbana. Moreover, early BTS shots of the Fendi FW17 ad campaign reveal Karl Lagerfeld directing model, Gigi Hadid while she rocks glasses with bold frames. Therefore, there is no better time to invest in a pair of stylish glasses in order to be en vogue. What is a design that is sure to set you apart from the rest of the crowd? Check out today’s Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses.

Fashionable Mention: Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses

The Dita Eyewear Informer Glasses are a refreshing mix of modern and retro style. The glasses reach back into the glory days of fashion with it’s stunning cat-eye shape. Yet, thanks to its sleek design it is able to look exclusive, swank and current.

One styling question we have been asked about in the past, is regarding if any additional accessories can be worn if one does choose to wear glasses. The fear is often that too many accessories can look “heavy,” overdone or less coordinated. However, that is not the case. Glasses do not need to limit you to wearing just glasses.

For instance, in the Dita Eyewear SS17 ad campaign pictured within this post the model is styled with large hoop earrings as well as septum jewelry. This illustrates that additional jewelry can be incorporated. Nevertheless, a good rule of thumb is to use the frames as a guideline. If the frames are striking then opt for jewelry that is less elaborate. This way none of the accessories will compete for attention; they will simply compliment each other.

Ask and Tell: Beyonce Wears Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW

Arianne Suggs July 14, 2017July 14, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Beyonce’s LA ensemble including Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW skirt.

You Asked: My question is kind of two parts so bear with me! First, I must have that skirt it is so pretty and I love the high waist! I have some stomach on me and curves so it would be nice to hide some of it lol I take it that is why Beyonce is wearing it too. Giving birth changes the body but what she is wearing is classy and beautiful but still shows off her body. So yes tell me about that skirt and what else she wearing too thank you 1966!

Ask and Tell: Beyonce Wears Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW

The Verdict: Hey there! Thanks for the detailed the question and yes Bey’s skirt is bomb dot com! The skirt is by Zimmermann and is from the Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW (ready to wear) collection.

We have to agree with you in regards to the fit. High waisted skirts are a secret fashion weapon that can be use to disguise a tummy. Actually, any high waist garment i.e. skirts, pants and shorts help to flatten and tuck in a belly. Therefore, if this is your aim then definitely buy Beyonce’s skirt!

Now let’s quickly review the rest of Beyonce’s OOTD. Bey paired her Zimmermann Spring 2017 RTW skirt with a white blouse by Ellery and handbag designed by Brother Vellies. Lastly, Beyonce capped off her look with a sexy pair of Azzedine Alaia sandals.

It’s like a party in your pants! Furthermore, just because most will never see what you got on under that slip dress; does not mean you can’t be chic and cute when it comes to your “unmentionables.” The MeUndies x Cross Colours Collection is vibrant, voguish, full of retro glam and effortlessly cool. Plus, we spotted a look from the line on one super hot star. Therefore, it’s pretty safe to say that this new collaboration is lit!

Justine Skye Rocks the MeUndies x Cross Colours Collection

Miss skye is currently keeping busy with her music. However, that didn’t stop the Purple Unicorn from giving us another fashionable moment. While on a quick break Justine snapped a photo with the caption, “On set shooting the video for my new single dropping in a couple weeks. And MeUndies new collaboration with Cross Colours just landed!”

Justine looked beyond cute modeling her boisterous under-roos. MeUndies recently took a moment to explain the collaboration as well as Cross Colours long time influence in the fashion world. The brand reveals,

“Our collaboration with the iconic Cross Colours hits 90s freshness in today’s style. Keep your summer looks fresh. Color blocking and triple needle stitch details with limited edition branding.

Throughout the 90s, Cross Colours iconic style was worn by stars like TLC, Muhammad Ali and even the Fresh Prince of Bel Air [Will Smith]. In the 90s, streetwear was everywhere and leading the pack was the iconic Cross Colours. As street fashion hit the runway, CxC was the brand that everyone looked to. CxC founders gave a voice to hip hop culture and streetwear in the world of 90s fashion with their iconic color blocking looks.”

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 7, 2017July 6, 2017Leave a Comment

The queen and king have returned! Renown designer, Azzedine Alaia, debuted a new runway show collection after a six year hiatus! Over the years, Alaia and Campbell have shared some fabulously epic couture moments. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that this fashion royalty duo would come back together and create even more iconic history. With that being said, Paris Couture Week is leveling up once more as Naomi Campbell Walks for Azzedine Alaia AW 2017 Runway Show!

Naomi Campbell Walks for Azzedine Alaia AW 2017 Runway Show

Supermodel Naomi Campbell opening and closing the show for Azzedine Alaia is no small feat. Especially, in an industry that heralds and glamorizes youth and beauty. Models are literally in one day and out the next.

The average model’s career is less than five years. However, supermodel Naomi Campbell has been walking in shows for Azzedine Alaia for over three decades.

Yes, let that set in. Since 1983 Miss Campbell’s signature strut has been a staple on any catwalk associated with Azzedine Alaia. For this reason we tip our six inch heels in her honor and have to say she still looks as amazing as when she began her career!

Several models who also walked in the Azzedine Alaia AW17 show were just as excited about Naomi stomping the catwalk. Here is what a few had to say.

“[Hashtag] WCW today and everyday, Naomi Campbell. These two (Naomi and Alaia) are true masters at their craft. Thank you Azzedine Alaia for inspiring me and the entire world! With the passion and love that you bring to all that you do.

-Karlie Kloss

“Can’t believe I walked the show with the legend Naomi Campbell. Feeling so lucky to be here at Azzedine Alaia show.”

-Diana Moskalets
