Fashionable Mention: Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal from Milan Fashion Week

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 15, 2018January 15, 2018Leave a Comment

We just want to have a fashion sandwich with Dan and Dean Caten! These chic masterminds behind the Dsquared brand have once again showcased stylish ingenuity. How so? Well, for Milan Fashion Week the duo hit the crowd with the Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal. All we can say is, “Yippie-Ky-Ay!”

Fashionable Mention: Dsquared Fall 2018 Cowboy Boot Sandal From Milan Fashion Week

Let’s keep it 99 plus 1… These are not your average sandal heels! For their Dsquared Fall 2018 collection the label marries together the vintage old west with modern flair. Their Cowboy Boot Sandal at first glance resembles a normal cowboy boot with leather, rhinestones, cow hide patterns and other studded detailing. However, the real fun begins with the sandal cut-outs, straps as well as sharp, thin high heel. Bomb.

Therefore, how can one pair these shoes with garments currently in their closet? You might be surprised, but it honestly would not be hard at all. These sandals will add fire to any Bohemian style dress or skirt. Also, boot cut denim as well as a black pleather/vegan pant will go seamlessly with this Dquared look.

Furthermore, we are always all for recycling a trend and making it feel fresh. For instance, last year denim suits (as spotted on Kelly Rowland) and jumpsuits (seen on Ciara and Teyana Taylor) heated up the fashion scene. Therefore, do not toss these ensembles out, just make them cool again. Update a denim suit or jumpsuit that you have in a cinch with a pair of these bad boy sandals. By incorporating something new, instantly your clothing with take on a more current impression.

It is an ad campaign showcasing what superstar, high-end models do best… strut their stuff! The spanking new Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign stars the legendary wait for it; Naomi Campbell, alongside ebony beauties, Aube Jolicoeur, Yasmin Wijnaldum as well as Elite model agency’s Adut Akench Bior. The ageless Campbell who’s career spans a historic three decades is often heralded as the queen of the catwalk; thus making her addition to the 2018 campaign visuals an iconic fit.

The ad’s setting is a nice departure from what many may feel the vibe of a Spring/Summer campaign should typically entail. Think bright, airy, floral and flair. However, Moschino’s designer, Jeremy Scott takes fashion lovers on a different yet harmonious stylish ride!

The campaign’s backdrop is a couture fashion show similar to what one would see during New York, Paris, Milan or London Fashion Week. Naomi, Aube, Adut and Yasmin are pictured walking the runway one by one as photographers clamor for the coveted shot. When speaking of the ad campaign Jeremy Scott simply stated, “We’re not going to be shady, just fierce.” Words to live by Jeremy, words to live by.

So then, who was apart of the all star team that brought the Moschino Spring Summer 2018 Ad Campaign to life? The ad was captured by fashion royalty photographer, Steven Meisel. Hair and makeup duties were performed by Guido Palau as well as Pat McGrath. Furthermore, fashion styling was handled by Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele.

A lip palette shaped like a tape cassette with a mirror; and a lil’ something for the cheeks in the form of a CD!

Hair of the Week: Top Model Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls

Arianne Suggs December 6, 2017December 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Our Hair of the Week trophy was won without any competition! Top Model Jourdan Dunn‘s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls are what top hairstyles are made of! The gorgeous color, the bounce and all that volume. We have the details on how to keep this hair look pristine even after you leave the salon straight from the pros themselves.

Why We Like It: Copper tones are the perfect colors to carry over into winter. The warm hues are a nice contrast against cooler temps and fashions.

Hair of the Week: Top Model Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color Curls

Who is the celebrity hairstylist behind this winning hairdo? Renda Attia, founder of The Hide Out salon in London, England takes full credit of this hair design. Regarding the style she worked for Jourdan Attia says,

“New day, new look, new color, and new style for my girl. Hair cut and color by moi [me] using Olaplex, Wella Hair [as well as] Bumble and Bumble.

Orange is the new black! Jourdan Dunn with some sexy warm copper tones for this year’s British Fashion Awards.”

Renda mentioned using Olaplex, every heard of Olaplex products? Many haven’t, but for the professionals it’s their amazing little secret to keeping color treated tresses in excellent condition right after processing. Forget the days of fried, dyed and laid to the side. Olaplex is all about keeping strands healthy at the salon as well as in-between salon visits. Well thank you hair GAWDS!

Jourdan Dunn’s Copper Tone Hair Color – Keeping Color Healthy

How is this brand able to achieve this hairstyling feat? Well, the answer lies right in how their products are formulated. You see, Olaplex is a bond multiplier that dramatically reduces breakage from chemical services. Olaplex is entirely non-toxic, free of silicone, sulfates, phtalates, DEA, peroxide, aldehydes and gluten. The best part of all? It works on all hair types!

For instance, Olapex has a product known as Olapex No. 2. What exactly does it do? Olaplex answers,

“Olaplex No. 2 is one of your most versatile salon tools. Use it after all your color and lightener processes to rebuild and strengthen the hair. You can also use No. 2 as a Mini Treatment by using a small amount in the hair during haircuts as a cutting lotion. [It] blow drys as a blow dry cream or even on its own as a 5 minute treatment at the shampoo bowl.”

Pretty cool right? Plus, the celebrities love these products as well when they go to get their color jobs done. Even NFL player, Odell Beckham Jr. has experienced the Olaplex treatment. So then, the next time you head to a salon, especially to get a style like Jourdan Dunn’s copper tone hair color be sure to ask your stylist about Olaplex.

Dundas is fashion royalty having sat in the creative director chair at luxury couture houses Emilio Pucci, Emanuel Ungaro as well as Roberto Cavalli.

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell Versace Vogue Print Mini Dress

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 5, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Supermodel Naomi Campbell Versace Vogue Print Mini Dress. Miss Campbell was spotted making her iconic fashion statement while she presented her longtime friend, Donatella Versace, with the Icon Award at the 2017 The Fashion Awards. The ceremony was put on by the British Fashion Council in association with Swarovski and held at Albert Hall in London, England.

You Asked: This is a really fun look. But something tells me that you do have to be tall like Naomi to wear it, but still cool. Thought I saw somewhere that you said Naomi is wearing a tribute outfit. What’s that about?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell Versace Vogue Print Mini Dress

The Verdict: Great question! This year Versace presented a runway show (Versace Spring 2018) with designs inspired by the late Gianni Versace’s previous collections. This was done as a tribute to his couture genius. His exquisite work broke barriers between art as well as contemporary fashion. Last night, Naomi Campbell worked it in one of these particular looks.

According to the Versace fashion house Naomi wore, “a custom made Vogue print mini dress with a maxi skirt train featuring intricate folds entirely beaded with Swarovski crystals.” Like you, we also feel this vibrant dress is a ton of fun and is a perfect representation of spring couture. Vibrant, fresh and effortlessly modern.

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 6, 2017December 5, 2017Leave a Comment

The Item: Queen of the catwalk Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress. Miss Campbell was spotted in her noire gown while in attendance of the 2017 The Fashion Awards held by the BFC as well as Swarowski.

You Asked: She wore her Papa! She must of been very close to him because she posts him constantly. Naomi could wear a sack and she would snatch my edges but her dress today is so sophisticated. Is this Alaia design recent or vintage?

Ask and Tell: Naomi Campbell 2017 The Fashion Awards Azzedine Alaia Dress

The Verdict: Very great question! Naomi is long muse of the great Azzedine Alaia so she has been photographed in plenty of his work from past and present. Moreover, we agree her wearing an Alaia couture dress is another beautiful tribute to such an iconic designer.

Nevertheless, the particular look you are referring to is not retro, but one of Azzedine Alaia’s more recent works. For The Fashion Awards Naomi is wearing an ensemble from the F/W 2017 collection, the very fashion show Campbell walked. The luxury fashion brand refers to the dress as the ALAIA Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2017 velvet, silk tulle, pleated silk organza and lace dress.
