Best Dressed 2011 - Olivia Palermo

Yer I know this post is a bit late but I decided to post it anyway...

Here is to my favourite fashion icon. No matter what she is doing or where she is going she always looks fab!

Keeping it clean..

Bergdorf Goodman Resort 2012
I love the contrast between the free flowing angel white dress with the man-made industrial background. Bergdorf Goodman stresses the beauty of nature. 

I also LOVE these shoes £120 from Urban Outfitter. Can't image how you wear these though I think my foot would just snap in half. It a shame, as when your foot is in the shoe no one will notice how cool they are!

Atelier Versace Fall 2011 Collection

Atelier is one of Versace brands that creates breathtaking and unique red carpet and evening wear garments. These garments are highly embellished with intricate handmade appliqué. This adds a traditional and all time classic appearance to their garments.  Celebrates like Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman and Kelly Rowland have all be found wearing them.

This season Atelier Versace collection has been highly inspired by Japanese traditional clothing. This adds an oriental flare to the designs giving character and a magical quality to the overall collection.

Opposites Attract - John Rocha Summer 2012

John Rocha summer collection is all about the contrast between solid and transparent, thin and thick fabric. This usual mixture of materials creates a truly unique and exciting collection. He also uses crochets, this technique usually consider old fashion and granny like however he incorporates crochet in a stylish modern and even fashionable way.

Ziad Ghanem LFW SS12

I got tickets to Ziad Ghannem show and I did not know what to expect as he is famously known for his odd yet truly original shows. I have to say that his outfits were not the most inspirational and tailored made clothes, however he knows how to put on an entertaining show. Even as we waited for the light to dim and the models to come out the audients were kept interested. All the photographers are usually squashed up at the end of the catwalk one of the photographers at the top was drank and managed to full on everyone else knocking down all the equipment and had to be equated out by security lol.

However, back to the actually show… I love how Ziad Ghannem used models in a multitude of shape and sizes matching their personalities to the designs. Each model also had a unique walk and pose. The models acted as actors to portray a certain character rather than just a hanger for the garments. Furthermore, Ziad Ghannem styled the models with dramatic face paint, tattoos and props creating an almost pantomime atmosphere.  

My favourite part of the show was his painted outfits that looks like it hit an explosion of colours creating amazing patterns and textures.

Native trend has taken over the world from every fashion magazine worth reading to every decent high street shop your'll find bold colours, animal inspired patterns, bushy hair and even jewellery longer then your clothes! This trend is all multicultural mixing the best of all the different tribes for Native Americans to Africans and Indians.
