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.

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.”

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show – “Dior Sauvage”- The Wild Wild West

ArianneUpdated on May 15, 2017May 15, 2017Leave a Comment

Maria Grazia Chiuri came out guns blazing! For quite a time anticipation has been brewing over Maria’s big Dior Cruise debut. With all eyes from the industry on her and her stunning collection Chiuri opened fire with a sizzling lineup as iconic as the Wild West itself! Tip those hats dolls we are riding off into the sunset with a quick recap of the Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show.

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show – “Dior Sauvage”- The Wild Wild West

Set against the backdrop of the wide open plains of California, the Dior Cruise 2018 runway show was magically ethereal. Cascading tents, hot air balloons, fire pits and delicate dim lighting of lanterns danced across the catwalk into the dusk sky. Dior effortless captured the aura of the old west while infusing their runway and high-end designs with the classic modern Dior flair.

Nevertheless, forget needing to be saved by some lasso throwing cowboy. The Dior Sauvage couture came off strong, bold, rustic without sacrificing even a hint femininity. The woman who adorns herself in this collection can hold a torch on her own but can still revel and bask in her womanly allure.

Dior Cruise 2018 Runway Show

The Dior fashion house gave an earful of what served as the inspiration behind the 2018 cruise collection. Furthermore, even though the garments certainly spoke for themselves, we absolutely loved every word they said! Dior mentions,

“For her first cruise collection for the House, Maria Grazia Chiuri has employed the Dior Savoir Faire. Reinventing it to tell her story in idealized forms. A story that alters proportions and lengths to correspond to the contemporary landscape, in which sport mixes with haute couture. Where tradition transforms into ornamental abstraction and materials see their status changed.

A collection informed by a wild and ancient femininity bound to the magic of the earth! Maria Grazia Chiuri continues to remain loyal to her feminist vision. Design by a woman for a woman.

From the prehistoric wolves emerging from the Lascaux cave on the striking silk jacquards. To the reinterpreted female handprints becoming magnificent sequined embroideries in earthy shades. Maria sought to embrace and explore the Dior heritage for her Dior Cruise 2018 collection!

We have to say that Chiuri accomplished that and then some. However, now it is time for you to experience it yourself. Scroll through this feature to review a few of our favorite looks.

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

ArianneUpdated on May 6, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Let out your inner couture goddess dolls! The Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show oozed of luxurious flair rich in Grecian culture. Think exquisite draping, gladiator sandals, gold accents as well as wreathed, embellished headbands. Mr. Lagerfeld certainly captured the essence of Greece and brought it to Paris!

Runway Fashion: Chanel Cruise 2018 “Modernity of Antiquity” Show

“I see Greece as the origin of beauty and culture.” Those were the words of legendary Chanel designer, Karl Lagerfeld in regards to the inspiration behind his Chanel Cruise 2018 runway show. Lagerfeld constructed a breathtaking show that delivered down to the most minuit detail. Even the catwalk’s decor of larger than life pillars and stone work caused one and all in attendance to feel transported from Paris directly into the past. As a result, the entire collection is an ode to the grace and beauty of ancient Greece. Every piece as well as color palette tone was beautiful and fit the show’s overall theme.

Furthermore, what is a runway show without great hair? The Chanel Cruise 2018 collection’s hair looks nicely complimented the show’s couture. Tresses were pulled back into an effortless half up, half down style with the top portion being fashioned into a braid. Hair accessories additionally played a major role in making the hairstyle even more ethereal and extravagant. The results were so elegant and current they would be the perfect chic hairstyle for this season as well!

Chanel Cruise 2018

Several garments and pieces caught our eye but one accessory in particular made us swoon instantly. A gorgeously decorated black and gold hand bag with an owl made its glorious appearance during the show and although small, made quite a statement. In Greek mythology the owl represents Athena, known as being the goddess of wisdom. Thus making the bag quite fitting. Furthermore, being slight Clash of the Titans nerds we could not help but be reminded of all the films as well as their entertaining characters.

Nevertheless, the bag, the hair, the makeup and of course stunning designs made a deep impression and etched a moment into the fashion industry that shall never be forgotten. Chanel put on one amazing show that has us even more stylishly excited for 2018!

[However] I enjoy mixing various African influences with a contemporary cut and shape for a modernized look. The result is a ready-to-wear brand that is suitable for all occasions.”

“My creative inspiration comes from a fusion of time, epoch periods and cultures, while remaining Afrocentric,” states Elesia Peterman. “I want our line to show that African print transcends. The looks can be worn strictly as traditional wear, but the looks can also be incorporated in business and everyday casual use.

What makes our line unique is that it isn’t just an African meets Western cohesion. Our goal is to reach and inspire a much bigger market. Our line is an international fusion. Also, being a millennial, I feel I can relate with the style trends my peers are excited about. I want to use clothing design as my voice and demonstration of creativity.”
