Top Five GLOSSYBOX Office Obsessions

wice a year, the fashion cognoscenti storm the most glamourous corners of the world for Fashion Week. These designers, editors, buyers, and bloggers will determine what we'll be coveting and wearing next season.

Now, I love a fashion moment – it's always a joy when a look from the runway makes the front row gasp in unison, or in the spur of the moment, enable them to celebrate something eccentric (lace face masks!) because it just works. That said, I believe that beauty is in the details: the designer's choice of a neat topknot or a messy bun, a barely-there gloss or a strong lip, translucent complexion or golden skin - these are the elements that tell the story.

This month, inspired by international fashion shows, GLOSSYBOXMag takes you all over the world with insider tips, style recommendations, and of course, our curated beauty picks. Pack your bags, my Glossy friends, we're taking you on a fashion adventure.

International STYLE ICONS

WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR INTERNATIONAL STYLE SERIES BY SPOTLIGHTING THE NEW GUARD OF FASHION ICONS. FROM NEW YORK TO CHINA WE ARE SHARING WHAT INSPIRES US FROM OUR FAVORITE IT GIRLS IN SOME OF THE MOST FASHIONABLE CITIES.

OLIVIA PALERMO NYC is the hometown to GLOSSYBOX USA as well as to the effortlessly elegant New York beauty, Olivia Palermo. Olivia always seems to land on every best-dressed list. Even in the cold winter months, Palermo looks stunning with a large fur hooded parka, bright blue denim pants and a pair of black leather knee high boots. Her style is classic reinterpreted, but her chic NY edge is what makes her a fashion icon.

LIU WEN Liu Wen is one of China's brightest fashion stars and one of the world’s most famous models. She broke onto the international stage in Paris on the Spring 2008 runways of Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier.

Since then, Liu Wen has become a fixture on the runways of New York, Milan and Paris. In 2010 she was named a face of Estee Lauder, where her exotic look proved to captivate the beauty industry. Liu's style is a combination of sophisticated high fashion paired with an edgy pared down street style. This twenty-four-year-old has certainly made history and will continue to impact the fashion and beauty industries.

CARA DELEVINGNE From the fashion front lines of the UK, the model quickly earning super status is Cara Delevingne. This London native has been recognized by Vogue as a “modern day icon.” As the face of Burberry beauty, Delevingne, a natural beauty with gorgeous blue eyes and a strong signature brow always leaves us speechless. Her sense of personal style is strong and distinct, and radiates cool.

CHIARA FERRAGNI Milan is known as "The City of Fashion" as it’s home to many of the world’s most influential designers, including Giorgio Armani, Valentino Garavani, Gianni Versace, Miuccia Prada, Missoni, and Dolce & Gabbana. Hailing from the city is also fashion’s rising star, Chiara Ferragni, creator of the blog, The Blonde Salad. Ferragni, is a life loving fashionista and a full-time law student at Bocconi University in Milan. Since its launch in 2009, The Blonde Salad has increasingly captivated readers and fashion houses around the globe. Chiara Ferragni is a modern fashion icon with a distinctive sense of style and glamour. From her informative beauty tips to her selfcreated stunning fashion looks, we just can’t get enough.
