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. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that this fashion royalty duo would come back together and create even more iconic history. 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!

Shangani Fashion – Where African Fashions Meet the Stylish Traveler

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 7, 2017April 6, 2017Leave a Comment

Shangani Fashion’s debut presentation during New York Fashion Week conveys contemporary cuts that are accented with vintage accessories. Shangani Fashion designs are a juxtaposition of culture and style. Shangani is an African tribe that lived near the Shangani River in Zimbabwe, Africa. The tribe was named after its founder. Moreover, the name “Shoshangani” means traveler. Therefore, Shangani Fashion is a brand inspired by the experience of travel and the exposure of different cultures.

Creations by Shangani’s Designers merge their travel experiences with colorful ethnic prints and contemporary shapes. Their point of view creates a high fashion, ready-to-wear look. Nevertheless, traditional African fabrics with a modern mix, is the real passion behind Shangani Fashions.

Shangani Fashion – Where African Fashions Meet the Stylish Traveler

The design duo collaborating on the aesthetics is Fashion Designers Mary Moore and Elesia Peterman. Moore is a graduate of the University of Zimbabwe who enjoys global jets-setting. Moore explains, “My inspirations are fusions of my cultural, travel experiences as well as my Zimbabwean heritage and styles. Shoppers will find divers influences from the Caribbean, European and Middle-Eastern expressions in my fashions. [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.”

Shangani Fashion

Shangani offers looks for both men and women. Moreover, the brand intends to expand the menswear line for upcoming seasons. The garments are wearable for business casual or as formal wear using materials that certainly last.

Depending on the type of garment design, the brand uses one-hundred percent cotton, applied with Dutch Wax print, denim and other uniquely blended materials of the finest quality. Completing the Afro-inspired look, the Shangani brand also features handcrafted travel handbags and clutch bags. Accessories such as earrings, bracelets and shoes, add a hint of sophistication to an individual’s look.

Fashionable Mention: Knit Pants From Rodarte SS/17 Collection

Arianne SuggsUpdated on April 7, 2017April 4, 2017Leave a Comment

Knitwear continues to dominate the season and we continue love every last variation of it! When someone mentions knits you instantly think sweaters, scarves or perhaps mittens. Yet, pants never seem to be quite on the radar. Nevertheless, Rodarte for their Spring/ Summer 2017 collection sent a very eye-catching pair of knit pants down the catwalk. Oh darlings, yes we dare!

Fashionable Mention: Knit Pants From Rodarte SS/17 Collection

We had to make these knit pants a fashionable mention due to three reasons. They showcase ingenuity, they are modern but they also possess a nice vintage and retro vibe. We love when designers infuse some throwback sparks into their fashions and this look was definitely a success.

The pants are actually apart of an entire set. The top and pant combo is a delicate and deliciously feminine ensemble of knits. The neutral color is very spring and makes it easy to pair as separates with other garments within your closet.

Nevertheless, our eyes immediately do a bulls-eye target on the pants and pants alone. We adore the length of these knit pants because they almost reach completely over the heels. With the sock and heel revival still going strong, this particular look plays into that trend somewhat.

Moreover, the flare detailing is beyond chic and give us 70’s glamour. It is a nice touch of flare without screaming for attention. Plus, these pants have a look and feel of leggings. Pair these knit pants with an oversized or loose shirt and dangling accessories and you are sure to be a major hit.

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Wears YSL Winter 2017 Glitter Boots

ArianneUpdated on March 6, 2017March 6, 2017Leave a Comment

It’s sparkly fashion world and we are just enchanted to live in it! Regardless of the season, we always love anything that dazzles, shines and gleams. Therefore, it is absolutely no surprise that YSL had us gagging over their Winter 2017 Paris fashion week show. All thanks to a pair of eye blinding glitter boots that we immediately had dreams of placing directly into our wardrobes. However, one uber famous style-lista has already beat us to the fashion punch! UGH, so unfair!

Fashionable Mention: Rihanna Wears YSL Fall 2017 Glitter Boots

The YSL 2017 Winter collection itself was modern, edgy and simply fierce. Literally, models strutted down the grimey catwalk with long handbags like they were baseball bats. As if to say, “Don’t mess with a real one hunty!”

Yet, in a sea of black and neutral toned couture a spark of 70’s glamour shone through. The YSL 2017 Winter Glitter Boots are such sweet retro vibes. Its as though someone murdered a disco ball. Donated it to science and out came a pair of boots that were definitely made for walking! If Soul Train was still running some fabulous dancer would be rocking these bad boys on the very next episode!

But wait, didn’t we say a fashionable star already is in ownership of these bomb boots? Music and fashion sweetheart, Rihanna, snagged Anthony Vaccarello’s design right off the runway. She posted these couture gems on her social media platforms with the caption, “Mood.”

Like RiRi we are certainly in the mood to have a pair of our own. We are this close to starting a GoFundMe page so that every woman in the world can be a baddie in these blinged out boot heels. So what do you think dolls, would you wear these shoes?

Rihanna Wears YSL Fall 2017 Glitter Boots

Come now, you think we were really going to end this post without giving you the full scoop on Rihanna’s fits? Of course not! So let’s talk some OOTD shall we loves?

Rihanna is the queen of designer duds and paired her YSL glitter boots with distressed denim and edgy graphic print shirt as well as leather jacket. She wore a Raf Simons Patti Smith Printed Sweatshirt along with a Schott NYC Classic Perfecto Motorcycle Leather Jacket in Black.

In the accessories department we loved how Rih kept the bling theme going without competing with her boots. She incorporated humongous hoop earrings and delicate necklace. Quite the look for visiting a library (The France National Library in Paris) but Rihanna slays wherever she is around the globe.
