Editor's Note:
That
style can be ageless is undisputed, as is the fact, I suggest, that style has little to do with the fluctuations of fashion and more to do with a consistency of approach, whatever that approach might be. However, when we talk of style with regard to appearance, a constant recalibrating is necessary in order not to look like a person frozen in time. Small changes such as a heel shape, the way a collar is worn, the length of jacket and the crop of the trouser make a real difference. Who would have known two years ago that low mules and backless loafers would look fashionable now? Or that a satin bomber jacket - once thought of as consigned to the memory box of Seventies rock style - would seem modern this summer? Or that the way you tuck your shirt in to your waistband can put a new spin on a wardrobe basic. So our feature “All in the Details� offers a tip-sheet of not purely what to buy but how to put it all together, no matter what your date of birth.

LUSTROUS foils, precious-metal prints, iridescent fabrics and holographic finishes brought glitter, gleam and gloss to the catwalks, as seen at Alexander Wang, Louise Gray and Mulberry. “The sheen that features heavily in the spring/ summer 13 collections has magical qualities. When hit by light, one colour becomes many, while the gauzy fabrics float about the body like a mystical glow. Take note of Raf Simons at Dior and go for a sculpted iridescent top over micro shorts”

Nail need-right-now 90s style in a bad ass bomber jacket. The easiest way to add an eclectic edge to an outfit, bomber jackets come in must-have khaki’s, brights and pastels to add a powerful pop of colour. Whether you opt for cropped cuts or boyfriend fits, the slouchy style looks great with a little black dress for a girly-grunge twist, or go all-out borrowed from the boy in slouchy jeans and heavy duty boots.

Thalassophobia Collection Creative Director: Rob Chamaeleo
Enduring fashion and talent in Costa Rica His perception of fashion consumption was because her classmates bragged shirts or pants with brands that represent only status; however, fate took him to Italy, the country that showed that fashion is an art worthy of display in a dress in a skirt in a glass case. In Milan and tackle shop Alexander McQueen, Rob Chamaeleo observed one of the dresses of his famous Sarabande 2007 collection, which showed the young designer to discuss fashion must learn from history, understand the culture and go further to mark a milestone. "That dress was extreme romance, was unique. Perhaps no one gets to show it off but it was the artistic part that caught my attention. The quality, the store ... it was like, sophistication and had an artistic context that preceded it, "says Rob Chamaeleo, a 22 year old who is a Costa Rican talent in fashion and through its brand expects to open spaces in Costa Rica for fans of this industry can appreciate it with that same vision, through a concept store. This desire for knowledge is what allows you to enjoy more of his work as a designer for image search and information is what you enjoy most about your profession.
Heavily concentrvated on the tactile rendition of its abstract inspirations, Chamaeleo is a brand that challenges the ideas of beauty and morality that appearto be set in stone. The Chamaeleo modus operandi consists by assuming everything too real, or too pessimistic, and inversely creating ethereal works of beauty. Arts, politics, business, math, and science all serve as forms of inspiration for the brand; Chamaeleo intends to dispute their “absoluteness� in order to form a world of fantasy and escapism.
WHY BLACK + WHITE IS ALWAYS RIGHT We collected some of our favorite street style and red-carpet moments that highlight why this graphic way of dressing is a lifestyle not a passing trend. GRAPHIC B&W WHY WE LOVE ITI n a complicated world, there’s something reassuring about clean, simple black-and-white, especially when it’s organized into logical stripes, grids, and figure-flattering vertical planes. The look is modern, cool, and assertive—but never in your face— and smacks of self-possession. HOW TO WEAR IT Introducing another color would lessen the impact. So if your neckline begs for ornamentation, choose a statement piece in, yes, black or white, as Oscar
de la Renta did with a gown. Shoes can be black, white, or a mix of the two, and makeup should do nothing more than ever you can highlight your contour details with a narrow on cheeks and cat eye designs. Basically, a few of our favorite things in life are black and white: cookies, dalmatians, the Chanel logo, and, of course, a classic houndstooth pattern. So, since the hot-now trends involve this color combo, we were inspired to round up some awesome finds so you can stock your closet.
The combination of black and white makes a visually stimulating and modern impact this season. Used in sophisticated colour-blocking, disvplaced stripes and bold trims.

llie Goulding is getting ready to release her third studio album Delirium on November 6th, and we couldn’t be more excited. Her last full length album, Halcyon, was released in 2012, with a re-release a year later, but now we finally have brand new music from the singer/songwriter -- 16 new songs to be exact (22 if you count the bonus tracks on the deluxe version).
So what can we expect from Delirium? Ellie stopped by iHeartRadio HQ recently for an exclusive interview, where she told us all about her new music, including what producers she’s been working with, everything about her new song “On My Mind,” and more. Ellie tells iHeartRadio that fans can expect Delirium to be very electronic, and that the album as a whole sounds bigger than her previous releases. And working with Max Martin has allowed her to find a voice she didn’t realize she had.
G O U L Ellie on new songs from her upcoming album Delirium
“
It is a very electronic album, so it is very much more electronically orientated. It actually kind of goes back to the roots as well, and I’ve got guitar in there. And I’ve got a song, which is definitely like a sister song to ‘Love Me Like You Do’ on there as well. It’s exciting. It sounds a lot bigger to me. My voice has kind of changed in a good way, and Max [Martin] has helped me find this other voice that I didn’t know I had. So I think it sounds pretty epic.
On how she came up with the title for her upcoming album
Delirium is an interesting name for an album title. Ellie tells us that the name just fit the music perfectly. “It kind of just summed up the record. It’s kind of like a happy, delirious state. It just kind of made sense. It just kind of clicked together.”
O
n stepping out of her comfort zone with Delirium vs. Halcyon “It was a big step. I feel it’s very far away from Halycon at this point. Halycon was made out in the countryside in my hometown, and I was very much in my comfort zone. Whereas a lot of this was out of my comfort zone. But a really amazing experience, [and] a new experience as a songwriter. The stuff that would come out for this record ... it’s always a terrifying experience when you’re on to something quite special, it can be quite scary.” Delirium is lead by Ellie’s new single “On My Mind,” produced by Max Martin. When you listen to “On My Mind,” it’s easy to assume the song is about someone in particular, but Ellie says it’s not. In fact, she says that a lot of her songs have been taken from different experiences, but the only songs she’s written about one particular person is her father. “I don’t really know my dad, so he is a very easy person to want to write about specifically. But I’ve never really been one to talk about a specific ex.” Ellie likes to write about the “the human condition and that we find ourselves in these really weird situations with another person.” So, since “On My Mind,” isn’t about one specific person, what is it about? Ellie explains:
D I N G On her new single “On My Mind”
“I think one day, we were at the Max Martin compound, and we were just randomly talking about having somebody on your mind that shouldn’t necessarily be on your mind. And you can’t figure it out why they’re still there. Then I talked to friends about it, and I realized it was quite a common thing. Just having this strange situation of not necessarily being with that person anymore, but them still being around for whatever reason; and then just kind of trying to figure out why. So I think that song was the figuring out of why.” If you’re loving “On My Mind,” there is plenty more where that came from. Max Martin helped to produced a lot of the songs on Delirium. In fact, Ellie admits that he played a big part in her new album, and that she loved working with him.
