KANYE WANTS US ALL TO BE NAKED

for the occasion. Love it or hate, it certainly got people talking.

that not only add beauty and character to the female body,

(I personally love it).

but also serve it as an extension through fluid diamonds that sit on the neck, wrist or ear, to highlight the daring and unique personality of each woman who wears them.

After the ceremony ended, Madonna changed her jewellery to YEPREM earrings, a ring cuff and a “Rebel Heart” hand piece especially customized for her. Inspired by Madonna’s new album artwork by the same name, depicting black ropes wrapped around the artist’s face, this was made out of oxidized black gold, decked with black diamonds and mixed with Marquise cuts. This rebellious approach to jewellery is a signature YEPREM has been known for over the years.

4 KARL LAGERFELD NOT FOR SALE Despite the rumours doing the rounds the past few days Vogue has confirmed that Karl Lagerfeld’s brand will not be sold by Apax.

According to a statement given to Vogue “The Apax funds are not considering a sale of their stake in Karl Lagerfeld in the short to medium term but are instead focused on investing in and growing the Karl Lagerfeld brand and business in close partnership with the other shareholders, including PVH, and with Mr Karl Lagerfeld in the medium to long term.” So there you have it folks, stop counting your pennies because Karl aint for sale!

March Trends 1. Denim Skirt Vs Denim Skirt Denim skirts are back, they go well with the whole 70s vibe at the moment. But the question is will you go for a midi skirt or mini skirt?

Alexa Chung loves the denim mini so much she has one in her Alexa Chung for AG Jeans collection. However, if it’s still too cold for you to brave a mini, then how about a midi? Team with a pretty blouse, varsity jacket and oxfords for a casual look.

2.

STRIPES T h e r e a r e s e ve r a l ways to wear stripes this Spring.

Wear them in clashing directions, colors and widths to make them feel fresh for Spring. Why not try a horizontal stripe top with ver tically s trip e d wide leg ge d trousers, or thick horizontal striped top and thin horizontal stripe pencil skirt.

S o long as it clashes , you’re onto a winner.

Edit & Text / JEN LOMAS FASHION BLOGGER @FASHIONCHUHI.BLOGSPOT.COM Images / ZARA.COM, MANGO.COM, NET-A-PORTER.COM,TOPSHOP.COM, HANDM.COM

3. PEASANT BLOUSES Continuing with the 70s vibe, boho chic is back, and a peasant blouse is the a great way to channel it in your outfit. You can layer it up with wide jeans and wooden platforms for a total 70s look now and tr y with short shorts in the summer.

4. Embroidered Jackets

S pring is def initely in the air, so why not remin d yourself of a lovely warm holiday with an embroidered jacket? Make sure it’s folk inspired and bright and you’re onto a winner. Team with a plain tee and jeans to liven up a casual outfit, or replace your standard black blazer with one. To keep the boho feel going, team with a maxi dress in a clashing print.

5. GIVENCHY’S

SARA SANDALS

These block heeled, ankle strap sandals are the shoe of the moment. If you can’t af ford Givenchy though then Topshop have a great version themselves.

They come in any colors, pastel, metallic, you name it, they have it.

So why not buy two?

Menswear staples get a playful feminine treatment!

W

ho figured that wearing men's inspired athletic gear would look not only chic and sexy, but on point?

Even if you don't consider yourself an athlete, you'll probably find yourself dressing like one from time to time come spring. Designers have really taken the idea to infuse ready-to-wear with athleticinspired minimalist touches. From sporty details to performance-inspired fabrics like mesh, to athleticinspired stripes and trims, key elements from the Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, Marc Jacobs and Carolina Herrera shows in 2014, return again in 2015.

The relaxed fit allows for layering, making it a great spring trend. Camp caps normally a mens staple piece are now something women should consider to

include in their wardrobe this season. No need to wear high stilettos to look fashion forward - comfort and being minimal is key to this look. Flat white or black sneakers or laced-up runners are the staple footwear in order finish your outfit - A reflection on the 90's when women rocking sneakers was in.

Along with minimal and casual footwear, jewelry and handbags have also remained light and clean lined. Brass or silver midi rings, necklaces and bracelets are enough to make a statement without looking overdone.

Leather accessories, whether black with minimal detail or with a pop of bright neon color, will showcase this trend with a feminine touch. Since the activewear trend is already strong on the market, there's plenty of sporty fashion available now.

senia Runa's has a firmly established place in the Russian fashion scene, where her collections stand in pride of place.

Her trademark "Classic Avant-Garde" first hit the scene when Russian television presenter, Anfisa Chehova wore Runa’s signature dresses on Russian MTV and at other social events. Since then her work has been presented across Russia and is represented

by Russian TV personality Irena Ponarochk, singers Kornelia Mango, Dakota, Anastasia Stozkaya, Irina Ortman and Elena Knyazeva, by the actress Elena Polyakova and 3 times World Synchronised Swimming Champion, Anastasia Ermakova.

Following the success of Runa’s design work in Russia, she made the decision to expand her horizons in Britain and found herself founding an important partnership. Both originally hailing from Moscow, Xsenia Runa and Olya Shishkina had each established themselves within the Russian fashion scene before moving to London, where they met at the prestigious Central St. Martins. Their collaboration, with its trademark emphasis on striking digital prints and geometrical forms, was hailed as one of the most exciting emerging womenswear brands of the time.

With a now global audience, Xsenia & Olya collections showed across London, Paris and Vancouver fashion weeks over different seasons, receiving excellent reviews.

This independent venture is set to be one of London’s most exciting young labels, ...

After spending time in the fashion houses of Giles Deacon, Vivienne Westwood and Valentin Yudashkin, Xsenia has a rich portfolio of experience and has been part of the fashion buzz for some time now. Since 2004, Runa and her label, 'Puzzle' has shown her collections at RFW -Russian Fashion Week, Moscow Fashion Week and St. Petersburg Fashion Week.

Having devoted 3 years to Xsenia & Olya, Runa has now returned to solo design projects, something she is more than familiar with. This independent venture is set to be one of London’s most exciting young labels, and is certain to be Runa’s most rousing project to date.

delaide's most promising fashion gem, casper&pearl, launched their largest range to date 'Hola Lola' last September. Evidently inspired by the designers experiences in Mexico, we saw hand painted exclusive print and hand drawn traditional Mexican Otomi embroidery. The popular picks in the brand's evolved and prominent range are the 'Esma' reversible dress in two color options and the 'Mexico City' which mixes fine embroidery with quirky, bright paint.

Many feel that a day at the office means you need to be decked out in black, browns, and greys but instead think of pretty pops of colour. Chic tailoring and bright shades can give classic styles a modern twist. c&p founder, Stacey Hendrickson, prides herself on not only creating unashamedly feminine pieces, but also creating pieces of art, having being awarded an art scholarship from the National Art Gallery of Australia in high school. Hendrickson specializes in painting and digital design, which helps creating her exclusive prints with each collection.

In just a few short years from launching and being made from a teenagers bedroom, casper&pearl is now stocked in high profile US chain stores such as Urban Outfitters, Revolve Clothing and Nasty Gal, to hidden boutique gems from the Dominican Republic to the Lower East Side.

This high quality and keepsake brand has been worn by Revenge's Ashley Madekwe, Glee's Becca Tobin, and high profile fashion bloggers Aimee Song and Margeret Zhang. The bold feminine brand was chosen to showcase her range in the Established section of Adelaide Fashion Festival's Designer Showcase, a big jump from her previous show as an emerging designer

MY TOWN

MY TOWN "NEW YORK" Photography / SABINA MIKLOWITZ

T

o wake up in a Vibrant Energetic City that never sleeps. Its famous words, famous lyrics, home to many, understood and revered by the avid theater-goer, the devoted restaurateur and wine connoisseur, the lover of art and architecture and the aficionado of some of the greatest fashion in the world.

When you think about some of the most exuberant cities on our colorful and cultured planet, Paris, Rome, London, Prague, Tokyo, all easily come to mind but of course New York is always on top of the list.

To live there, isn’t for everyone with its bustling traffic, narrowed streets, snowstorms, honking and swearing taxi driver’s but its charms far out-way what it lacks.

If you can live there be it a calling or even more ardently stated, you have a, “passionately fated duty to enter into a right of passage to become a Yankee” then you will be born again into someone new, someone changed.

Even the natives know that. They may complain about the daunting snowstorms but to step out onto your stoop in the crisp winter air on the upper west side with the view of the park in immaculate sight and see the city barley touched by the first snowfall is a divine experience. One in which is sure to leave a unique visual print in your mind that will last a lifetime.

“The city” as most call it, seems to take on a life of its own like a character in a novel if you live there long enough. As Carry Bradshaw stated on a particular episode of Sex in the City, “I have a date tonight with the city”.

I remember the moment that “the city” became infused in my heart ….

I was twelve and my father took me to see "A Chorus Line" on Broadway. I came out of the theatre on fire singing ‘One Singular Sensation’.

I was hooked, cooked, sign sealed and delivered.

I remember thinking, “when I am old enough I want to move here. I want to be on Broadway or Saturday Night Live”.

So that is exactly what I did. When I was 22 years old, I was living in Dallas, TX where my mother’s side of the family has lived.

I was in college but had spent part of the early summer before the school year with my father and my Italian side in New Jersey. I had this internal shift or voice that said, “it is time to move here, to live here in New York, to grow and be artistically fed here.” So, I registered for school and I found a place to live. Put in a transfer with the restaurant chain I was working with down south and then I went back home and dropped the gauntlet on friends and family. They were saddened but not in the least surprised, they saw it coming and were just wondering when the time would come for me to meet my fate.

My New York, Your New York, Our New York…

akeup Artist Kylie Eustace explains how to create these romantic pretty looks.

Flawless dewy and radiant skin, highlighted cheekbones and a hint of peach or pink blush will be popular. A hint of color worn on your cheeks will make you look healthy and radiant.

Eyes worn with colored shadow, either a subtle hint of color or a more dramatic brighter look depending on colors chosen and application.

Pearls or shimmery bases and soft washes of eye shadow will look beautiful this spring. Choose a second shade of eye shadow color to contour the eye socket area giving a two toned look.

Choosing colors to bring out the eyes. Think of an Artists color wheel and try the opposite shades on the color wheel eg blue is opposite orange so peach and orange eye shadow will make blue eyes look bluer.

If you like color, these pretty makeup trends will have you feeling bright and beautiful for spring 2015.

And Brown eyes look amazing with navy blue liner as the most dominate color to make brown is orange.

Blue and green eyes look lovely with orange, pinks, purples and shades Brown eyes look amazing with Turquoise, blue, purple and gold.

Harmonious colors also look beautiful together for e.g: Pink and purple look beautiful worn together as an eye shadow combination This spring try Lips in rosy or peachy shades for day, or vibrant orange, deep pink and red lips in the evening.

COPENHAGEN FASHION WEEK :

A WEEK OF MONOCHROME Text & Photography / JYOTI OMI CHOWDHURY FOR OMIGR APHY

Here are some photos that convey the true essence of Scandinavian fashion.

C

openhagen fashion week Autumn Winter collection kicked off with a polite bang that only Copenhagen can accomplish with its egalitarian roots and fully sustainable fashion shows. The Late January event had a lot of the heavyweights of the Scandinavian fashion industry. From Malene Birger to Barbara I Gongini, the catwalks were full of notable and consistent performers who are the standard bearers of the Scandinavian fashion industry that has always

thrived on minimalistic yet evocative expressions.

But, between the consistency of old stalwarts and the whimsy new innovators, some brands stood out like no other. Boldness of YDE and Great Greenland x Jesper Høvring were matched by the elegance of Federico D’Angelo who may very well have the eye and the expertise to transcend geographical and cultural boundaries as his style may appeal to a wider audience outside Scandinavian fashion.
