Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show

Arianne SuggsUpdated on January 24, 2018January 24, 2018Leave a Comment

Who says fashion isn’t art? The Dior Spring 2018 Runway show presented during Paris Week ingeniously married high end couture with abstract art apart from concrete realities. The result? Decadent designs that catch and tantalize the eyes!

Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show

Who or what served as the inspiration behind the collection? Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri was inspired by artist Leonor Fini; who was an Argentinian surrealist painter, designer, author, as well as illustrator. Fini was well-known for her depictions of powerful women in which she made during the surrealist period.

Nevertheless, Surrealism wasn’t just about the art, it was a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s and ended roughly around 1966. Those taking part in this particular style of art and literature produced works that to others seemed to be illogical, dreamlike and at times unnerving.

Nonetheless, for the Dior Spring/Summer 2018 Collection Maria Grazia Chiuri fully immersed herself in the surrealist movement; which allowed her to experiment with various techniques in order to sprinkle her designs with illusion as well as surprise. Maria did not want to create just another beautiful collection. She was inspired to push and test boundaries to the point that she herself could describe the spring collection as being “a dream of fashion.”

Paris Fashion Week: Dior Spring 2018 Runway Show – The Stars

Oh the exclusive front row! For their fashion shows, designers enjoy showing off their array of fabulous friends. The Dior Spring 2018 reveal was not any different. Dior’s show space was filled to the brim with fashionistas, supermodels and A-list stars. For instance, model and actress, Willow Smith, was in attendance along with fashion royalty Naomi Campbell and Winnie Harlow.

All three stylish starlets wore their own version of the Dior show’s theme. Like on the catwalk as well as the show’s interior backdrop, black and white trendy couture permeated the scene. We loved Willow’s noire sheer skirt and vest combo. Chic, effortless, minimalist yet attention grabbing.

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.

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.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

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.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

You Asked: She is just too beautiful! Okay first have to say I stumbled upon you guys by accident but love your work! Really cool. Thanks for putting black girl magic for all to see. Also I think Jourdan’s hair and dress were both awesome. Her dress is my dream dress so gotta know who made it lol

Ask and Tell: Model Jourdan Dunn 2017 The Fashion Awards Versace Gown

The Verdict: Hi there! Always appreciate the mad love and glad you are now apart of the 1966 world! Nevertheless, let’s get to Miss Dunn fashions because from head to toe Jourdan slayed! Moreover, we think fellow model Winnie Harlow put it best, “Looking like a tall glass of orange juice.”Yum!
