Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 6, 2015July 6, 2015Leave a Comment

Beautiful Lineisy Montero is one of the modeling rising stars to be featured in Prada’s ad campaign for fall/winter 2015. Montero is joined in the campaign by models Avery Blanchard, Estella Boersma Inga Dezhina, Ine Neefs, Greta Varlese and Maartje Verhoef. In the ad the stylish squad sport tailored coats, jackets, embellished dresses and sweaters with much school collar preppy attitude. It is clear that Prada does not want women to be afraid of stronger color or prints which nicely livens up normal winter attire that tends to focus on darker, drabber styles.

Moreover, it is amazing how the collection screams retro and modern at the exact same time. The entire campaign was captured by photographer Steven Meisel.

Accessories Report: We immediately took notice of the long-sleeved gloves featured in the campaign. Long gloves are so old Hollywood chic and convey upscale luxury. So then, this fall and winter feel free to have an Audrey Hepburn moment…Prada has given us the okay.

Fashionable Mention: Chanel Pre-Fall 2015 Floral Cardigan

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 2, 2015July 2, 2015Leave a Comment

In the realm of fashion usually when florals rear their couture heads is during the spring season. Spring is the time when every garden is an Eden and designers use this natural occurrence as inspiration. Nevertheless, the Chanel fashion house has never been one to follow the mold and for their Pre-Fall collection are throwing out the conventional point of view.

One piece of the collection that really stood out to us was a floral cardigan that seems to invoke royalty and splendor. The detailing is simply exquisite as well as intricate due to its crystal floral embroideries and appliqués. Truly fit for a queen and shows that it is absolutely okay to bend the rules of fashion. Just because a particular season comes to end, does not indicate that the trends should as well.

HUGO BOSS Summer 2015 Ad Campaign Featuring Binx Walton

Arianne Suggs June 11, 2015June 11, 2015Leave a Comment

Hugo Boss is heating up the summer with their ad campaign featuring one of the fashion industry’s newest it girls, Binx Walton. Walton shares the fashion stage with fellow model, Lexi Boling as the two pose in a desert atmosphere. Being a movie a nerd I immediately thought Star Wars meets 2015, but the couture brought me back down to reality.

As cool as it would be to see the princess shooting troopers in Hugo Boss I enjoyed the overall feel of the campaign as it was actually intended. The collection has a very nice color palette of white, cream and even a airy light blue. Belted skirts and dresses with relaxed slouchy pants make chic comfort easily attainable. This collection is perfect for the lady on-the-go who wants to look tailored without being overly stuffy. The campaign was styled by Tom Van Dorpe and lensed by Pierre Debusschere.

It looks like the guys wanted in on the Hugo Boss action too!

Model Philomena Kwao Showcases Torrid’s Smokin’ Hot Swim Wear!

Arianne Suggs June 11, 2015June 11, 2015Leave a Comment

As more and more women are celebrating as well as embracing their shapes and physiques, retailers are answering the call to provide fashionable couture for more than those that fall within the size 2 category. Fashion retailer Torrid made it clear that for the summer season they want women to feel amazing and confident with their bodies. The CEO of Torrid explained,

“We change lives, we see that everyday. We see tears in our dressing rooms when girls realize they too can look beautiful and sexy in a swimsuit. We’re empowering them to join the movement — wear swimsuits with confidence, real cover girl style.”

Any woman young or old can testify that swim wear shopping can be quite intimidating. Thoughts of fluffy mid-sections, muffin-top, boob spillage, thunder thighs and even cottage cheese legs make wearing little to nothing seem worse than jumping out of a plane. Moreover, it seems that some designers do not want to cater to bodies that do not resemble a clothes hanger. How is Torrid changing the game when it comes to bathing suits? Torrid’s Senior Vice President of Design says of their summer collection,

“This collection is the culmination of two years of building and perfecting the best swimsuits I have ever seen or have had the pleasure to wear. These suits are fun and young and without compromise. They’re the kind of suits that, when wearing them, you find a confidence in yourself you never thought you’d have in a swimsuit.”

All that time designing swim wear was well worth it by the look of things. The collection is vibrant and the ad campaign showing them off is simply gorgeous. Torrid’s swim wear collection for summer 2015 is available now is covers sizes 12-28.

Vashtie Kola and Puma S/S 2015 Collaboration

Arianne Suggs May 28, 2015May 28, 2015Leave a Comment

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.
