Rachel Zoe’s Debut Line

Friday, June 10th, 2011

 

 

Are you going baaannnaaannnaaasssss for Rachel Zoe’s debut line???!!  I am!!  I’ve seen the Look Book and I could D.I.E.   The boho-glam, the 70′s style silk blouses with bows and tiered ruffle dresses, that’s the Zoe we know, but in an inspired turn of events, Rachel has decided to go in a slightly different direction. Though you can almost always count on Rachel to show up in a bold yet loose one shoulder dress, her line seems to lean in another direction. Rachel’s line is filled with ultra tailored looks with a slight androgynous feel and surprisingly not overstocked with fur. It’s no secret Rachel would rather die twice than be buried in anything but vintage and her new signature collection radiates with fresh pieces that scream vintage with a modern kiss. It’s filled with great-looking skirt-suits with bubble hems, long, lean pantsuits, and uh-mazing shift dresses.

 

The collection, a collaboration with manufacturer Li & Fung, is the first that Zoe herself has designed. Rachel describes the collection as “uptown chic and downtown cool infused with Parisian elegance and London street style.”  She recently shared with Woman’s Wear Daily “I’d imagine everybody is expecting something from me that’s kind of a seventies, uber boho-glam kind of thing, and, you know, very accessorized. And it’s not.” The collection which will also feature bags, flats, boots, and of course HEELS is appropriately titled “The Rachel Zoe Collection.” The pieces display some of the best tailoring one can hope for in RTW.

 

The line is rumoured to be priced from $250 to $700 and although no retailers have yet to be confirmed, Zoe plans to have the pieces on the shelves of specialty and department stores soon.

 

 

 

I think you will agree we will all be going baaaannnnaaaannnnaaasss for this range!!  What do you think? Let us know x

Olivia Palermo’s big plans

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

 

The rise and rise of Olivia Palermo continues apace, with the lady herself dropping another detail about her plans for fashion world domination.

 

 

 

Remember that new TV show she’s got in the works? Turns out that cameras will follow Palermo as she develops her own clothing line, she said in an interview with a Spanish magazine.

Although we’re pretty sure that that was the exact concept behind The City, in which Palermo came across as something of a fashion villain, count us in… Now, can anyone tell us whether this show will make it to the UK any sooner than the last Palermo series?

Ford’s Girls

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

AFTER a six-year absence from the world of womenswear Tom Ford is back and, as expected, it’s well worth the wait. Ford showed the collection in New York on September 12 to a select group but banned journalists from revealing the collection, until now.

Ford convinced his most beautiful and stylish friends to model the collection for him, whilst he announced them. Beyonce’ Knowles, Lauren Hutton, Liya Kebede, Rinko Kikuchi, Stella Tennant, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Julianne Moore, amongst others, showcased a collection which reminded onlookers of Ford’s best collections for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent.

“There’s continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that’s the customer,” Ford admitted. “It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, ‘God, I can’t find that anywhere!’ “
So, does this expansion of his own line mean his priority is fashion once again?

“The day I don’t love to do it, I’ll sell it,” he told US Vogue. “Because we’re all only here for a little while, and nothing we do or make has any permanence at all. I care now because I’m doing it. I want to be proud of what I do. Which may be ten or 20 years – who knows?”

New Trend – Asian Influence

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

 

 

While there are loads of spring trends we cannot wait to explore (extreme wedges, and digital prints, oh my!) we couldn’t help but notice that some of our most-watched dressers have been venturing off into exotic territory and wearing a trend that we have affectionately termed Asian Fusion fashion. Though some of these pieces seem like they could be souvenirs from a trip to the Far East, the current iteration of this look is actually anchored in the American and European fashion communities. Specifically, the style sprung from talents like Marc Jacobs and the inimitable Vivienne Westwood, both of whom sent brilliant brocades, deft draped garments, and gloriously printed pieces down their S/S 10 runways.

Check out our very own Asian Headdress pictured below:

 

We wanted to dole out a few pointers on how to wear these eclectic and decorative styles. While Marc Jacobs and Vivienne Westwood’s runway shows offered extreme head-to-toe looks (the Kabuki makeup on the models certainly adds to the theatrical aura), we particularly like the fresh way these four fashion-philes are wearing these Asian-influenced pieces. By mixing a cheongsam-style top or a kimono-sleeve jacket with closet staples like silk harem pants, jeans, or chic winter shorts, these pieces are getting decidedly modern fashion cred.
