So what all is Lais talking about in this edition? She bares everything. From her early beginnings to having to fight for her spot in the fashion and beauty industries as a top model. Marie Claire Brazil EIC (Editor in Chief) explains further stating,
“Our beautiful cover [for] June with Lais Ribeiro, rehearsal and interview [conducted] in NYC (New York City) by two editors, Larissa Lucchese and Camila Lima. For us, Lais shows a powerful woman, a woman poor since childhood in Piaui; faced an early maternity, [also] harassment of famous photographer; racism and child autism. She tells all of this exclusively in this edition. To the newsstands!
[Thanks] of course, to Lais, our first black top model, which shows that fighting against racism and harassment does not imply loss of professional space; indeed, on the contrary. Very happy to have noticed the fact I never had it on our cover before.”

Pretty Little Thing x Karl Kani Collection Starring Teyana Taylor -Why the Collection?
Why? That is always the question when two powerhouses up and decide to super cop up. The Pretty Little Thing brand is quite vocal in regards to it’s reasons for helping to close the gap of the golden age of street wear with the modern day. PLT reveals,
“Karl Kani’s iconic street wear classics get a reboot for new season as two fashion eras collide. Teyana Taylor goes back to her roots and hits the streets of Harlem. Representing the originator of urban fashion.
Staying true to the 90’s legacy. This drop is all about paying homage to the styles of the Karl Kani movement that infused hip hop and street culture. Think sporty separates. Fresh outerwear and denim with an urban edge. This is the collaboration to take your look all the way up.”

Besides a great story, readers will also be treated to some amazing visuals. The ending result shown on Forbes may be what editorial dreams are made of and then some. However, it did not come about without a few ups and downs. Los Angeles based fashion stylist, Kailani, reveals all. She states,
“Did a fun feature with Draya for Forbes. Thank you to the lovely ladies at SUISTUDIO for their impeccable women’s suiting options!
We did a thing yesterday! We trespassed on unauthorized property. We drove across a wild field. We lost the reflector to the little river… but we got some dope shots. So yeah we did a thing yesterday!”
It certainly takes a village! As Kailani mentions, for the Forbes story Draya rocks various suits by fashion label, SUISTUDIO. However, then Michele infuses some causal fun into her look by wearing kicks with designer suits.
A nice fashion touch that proves that suits do not need to feel or look “stuffy.” To complete her ensemble, Draya and her stylist incorporated shoes by Converse. Fab!

Forget Surgery! The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

The issues women have with their bras are as varied as the different shapes and sizes breasts come in:
An overabundance of bouncing.
Not enough cleavage, for small busts.
A little too much cleavage, for bigger busts.
General sagging [and] the natural result of aging.
A collection of bras that have stretched out and no longer fit well.”

We caught up with the busy entrepreneur behind this ingenius design who filled us in on why she decided the world needed another “bridge.” Founder Judith Samson says,
“I invented the Bra Bridge because I struggled with the way my breasts looked; they stretched passed my rib cage and bounced too much, affecting my self-confidence about the way I looked. The Bra Bridge reduced my side boob, but also the bouncing and sagging, lifting and holding everything in place.
The beauty of the Bra Bridge is that it is so easy to use, essentially giving you a custom fit with every bra you wear.

All we can say is, “WOW!” The entire Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2018 runway show was a tantalizing affair; however, the closing look stole the attention of everyone in attendance. The vibe, the details, the unspoken allure. Every element just works and brings a certain je ne sais quoi to a collection that is already flawless.
Fashionable Mention: Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown
Hereith Paul, you are a lucky girl! Paul is the gorgeous model that had the honor and pleasure, of wearing the final closing Cushnie et Ochs look. The dress is a showstopper… Glitzy, spell-binding and more gleam than the night sky on a clear night.
Photographs of this garment did not even come close to doing it justice. The gown gets its bling appeal thanks to a little help from Swarowski. This dress in particular incorporates dazzling, strategically placed Swarowski Drop Crystals.
The crystalized look is currently a favorite among designers for the fall 2018 season. We spotted the trend at not just Cushnie et Ochs, but during a number of other fall runway shows. We noted Swarowski elements and jewelry were utilized during collections for: Alexander Wang, Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu and Rosie Assoulin.
Nevertheless, we foresee the Cushnie et Ochs Faceted Crystal Mesh Gown being a red carpet favorite. Immediately, upon seeing it all 1966 staff felt that this is a design that Queen Beyonce would absolutely dominate in at any event. We are reminded of her sheer, embellished gown that she wore to the 2015 Met Ball (see below). This is so her style and one that would land any starlet with an amazing pair of legs on the Best Dressed List. All eyes on you RiRi!

Hansel and Gretel eat your heart out! When it comes to fashion week no one quite does it like fashion house, Chanel. From the spell-binding couture to the equally visually pleasing venues, the luxury fashion label knows how to leave its fashion show attendees aching for more! For the Chanel Winter 2018 -2019 collection, Karl Lagerfeld enchanted his audience with luxe woven garments set against a forest backdrop.
Winter Fashion 2018- Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show
Why is this show in particular making waves throughout the industry? Well, during fashion week you expect at least three things. A catwalk, glorious designs and a magnificent show. Chanel did all three with stylish hands tied in back.
In answering the long held question what would you take with you if you were stranded in a desert or forest; Chanel’s winter show made the answer abundantly clear… any of their fashions! Chanel’s dazzling designs cast their spell with a color palette that lines up perfectly with the fall and winter seasons. We observe stylish tops, skirts, jackets and accessories all peppered with tones reminiscent of the changing of the leaves’ colors during autumn.
The colors are warm yet sharp. Defined yet welcoming. Your eye is drawn in immediately but is able to take in every look’s detail in it’s entirety.
Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show
Your outfit may be the cake, but a proper handbag is the cherry on top! Chanel’s Winter 2018 handbags are trendy with an original edge. There are big bags, small bags, crossovers and of course, totes.
One element we love is the matchy-matchy look. Several handbags were twinning with their accompanying ensembles. Literally, tweed met tweed and hues met the exact same color(s). Whatever fabric was used to craft a couture design that same high end material was used for the look’s very own handbag.
This is great for the person who enjoys a perfect match. Or for someone who may struggle with pairing accessories with their clothing. Either way, Chanel has things covered.
One other detail that is certainly worth mentioning before moving on is Chanel’s use of the double bag. Have you ever needed two bags just to carry your essentials for the day? Well, Chanel wants you to know you are not alone. During the fall/winter runway show a model hit the catwalk with not one bag, but two swinging from her shoulder.
One smaller shoulder handbag layered over a larger tote made up the completed look. While carrying two bags may not become the next big thing. It is fun to see a neat way on how to make this style dilemma work in the best way.
Chanel Winter 2018 Fashion Show – Accessories
Hair was kept simple but was embellished with luxe, crystallized hair accessories. Other outfit additions we noticed included scarves, leggings/tights, chain belts as well as logo/name earrings and necklaces. Moreover, with the earrings we noticed Chanel indulged in the super hot uneven earrings trend. To rock it all you have to do is wear two different size earrings. They match but one is always super longer than the other. Thus making the finished result stylish, yet dramatic.
Furthermore, gleaming details were not just noticed in the accessories. Various boots, tights and pants all had shimmery elements. Proving that winter fashion does not need to be drab like the season’s weather. You can easily spice things up by utilizing sparkle.
Lastly, one other piece we loved was the fingerless gloves! Very Material Girl meets punk. The fun gloves came in different lengths; both regular hand glove size as well as elbow length. Certainly, a design that easily garners attention without trying too hard.
Well loves that is our fashion show recap. Keep scrolling to see even more runway shots!

Another icon is gone. Fashion visionary, Vale Hubert de Givenchy noted for dressing some of the world’s most famous women; passed away at age 91. Hubert’s designs were widely celebrated for not only their sophistication, but divine elegance.
Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91, Life & Legacy
The French luxury couture designer was born in 1927. In future years, the couturier would come to redefine the modern woman’s form of attire. Givenchy often referred to himself as “the eternal apprentice.” However, his masterful creations since the start of his fashion house in 1952; clearly demonstrated his true skill, talents and pure genius.
Furthermore, Givenchy truly understood the female form. His luxe and dazzling frocks always fit a woman’s body in the most desirable as well as alluring way. His motto? Hubert once said, “The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.”
This understanding led to Givenchy being highly sought after by the Hollywood elite. As a result, Hubert dressed some of the most influential women of the 20th century. Ladies of Givenchy included Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Grace Kelly. Men too experienced the Givenchy treatment, such as the legendary David Bowie.
Hepburn who wore Givenchy couture in some of her biggest roles is quoted as stating, “His clothes are the only clothes in which I am completely myself. He is far more than a couturier, he is a creator of personality… I’m as dependent on Givenchy as some Americans are on their psychiatrist.” Her sentiments sum up what numerous starlets, models and women around the world have felt in Hubert’s pieces.
Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy, Life & Legacy
To this day, women around the world keep a LBD in their wardrobes. The LBD, or Little Black Dress is a classic, iconic garment that never goes out of style. Seasons come and go. Trends see the light of day then quickly vanish, but the little black dress continues to command the spotlight.
Who of us can forget actress, Audrey Hepburn’s black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany’s? The actress also can be seen in Givenchy designs in her films Sabrina and Funny Face. Moreover, in 1954 Audrey put down Hubert in her contracts as the designer who would design all of her film costumes. Ultimately, the move that sealed designer and muse as lifelong friends and workmates.
Even though Hubert de Givenchy made the LBD (little black dress) look so easy to pull off, he made it starkly clear it is not. In regards to the look Givenchy states, “The little black dress is the thing to realize, because you have to keep it simple.” Listen to him fashion lovers, less can be oh so more.
Besides his beautiful gowns Hubert also changed how the fashion world viewed separates. A blouse, jacket, skirt, or trouser could produce a plethora of stylish combinations. Limitless outfit choices instead of one. His concept of mixing and matching separates truly revolutionized the industry.
Hubert de Givenchy -Founder of Givenchy Dies at 91
The Givenchy fashion house reached out to fans and admirers via social media in order to release a statement pertaining to Hubert de Givenchy. The label says,
“The House of Givenchy is sad to report the passing of its founder Hubert de Givenchy. A major personality of the world of French Haute Couture and a gentleman who symbolized Parisian chic and elegance for more than half a century. His enduring influence and his approach to style reverberates to this day. He will be greatly missed.”
Several celebrities also shared their thoughts as well as condolences online. Including supermodels Iman and Naomi Campbell. They said,
“Au revoir Monsieur Givenchy!”
-IMAN
“May you R.I.P. Hubert de Givenchy so elegant and chic. It was a honor to have met you and to work with you.”
-Naomi Campbell
Hubert de Givenchy – Letter From Our Editor
Hello Readers,
Like you, I am also deeply saddened by this unfortunate news regarding the great Hubert de Givenchy. Growing up, his designs were one of the first to make me want to shed my Tomboy ways and hop into a black dress!
I also remember fondly talking about the glamorous old Hollywood with my grandmother. Not just the bright lights, triple threat talent or fascinating productions; but the fashion! The undeniable breath-taking couture that was chic, high-end, mesmerizing yet sexy all in one.
It was my grandmother as well as my mother that exposed me to a few classic films that left me wishing I was old enough to have a credit card. Since if I had had one, a lot of the available funds would of went to Givenchy couture. Therefore, maybe it was a good idea that could not qualify (LOL).
Being a fan of the fashion house, I was moved to write this feature. Not just to tell the impact that Givenchy had on me, but the impact He and his label left on the world. Truly an industry leader that will be missed. Below you will find a complilation of a few of my favorite Givenchy moments of all time. Thank you for taking time out to read this post and I hope you enjoy the photos (Note: Modern looks by John Galliano and Alexander McQueen).
Sincerely,
Arianne XOXO
Hubert de Givenchy – Final Words to Live By
“Luxury is in each detail.”
“All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater.”
“Hair style is the final tip-off whether or not a woman really knows herself.”
“To have style is to have a feeling for what is currently fashionable, and still to simultaneously remain true to oneself.”
