God love that man. Can't wait to see him fight again tonight!
66th Emmy Awards "Look of the Night": Nolan Gould - I have to hand it to this young man. He has always known how to rock a red carpet. While he is rarely seen without a bow tie or blazer, he (or his stylist) knows how to switch it up and keep the combinations fresh. This checkered blazer was a welcomed contrast in a sea of navy and black tuxedos.
Also of note, his posture. Too many GROWN men were slouching with their hands in their pockets (Ty Burrell, I'm looking at you...). Take notes, gentlemen!
Honourable Mentions:
Robin Wright's Backless Ralph Lauren Jumpsuit
Ty Burrell's Slim Fit Navy Tuxedo with Black Lapels (Thought the clear-rimmed glasses were a great modern touch for a classic look)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's Simple, yet Super Flattering Black Tuxedo (I have a strong liking for straight-end bow ties as opposed to butterfly ones)
P.S. Bravo to Johnston & Murphy! I feel like EVERY male at the Emmys was wearing their shoes!
Who were your favourites? What trend stuck out most to you?
The ONLY Outfit that Mattered on the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards Red Carpet - Chanel Iman in Balmain {drops mic} (Honourable Mention to Laverne Cox in Marc Bouwer though)
Aside: Dear world, how in the hell did Casper Smart get into the VMAs without JLo? No shade... Just ...Inquiring minds need to know... :P
Interview Magazine’s September Issue Bows With Six Covers: Craig McDean’s cover featuring Amber Valletta - Forgive me, fashion gods! I have done the unspeakable... I have chosen Amber Valletta over Naomi Campbell.
(Aside: Why is the only black model in the cover series naked wearing shackle-esque jewelry? Are we STILL doing this? Things that make you go, "Hmmm..."Â )
I don't know about y'all, but I am MAJORLY excited about this collection! One, it will be the first time that I'll fully immerse myself in the madness that is a "Target Designer Collaboration Opening Day" in person (Holla, Stockyards!). Second, Joseph Altuzarra has knocked off most of my favourite pieces from his Spring 2014 Collection and even incorporated a few details from the Fall one as well.
Here are the five items that I will throw 'bows for on September 14th:
Oxford Shirt in Banker Stripe (Second row, left; $29.99 USD)
The moment I saw Joan Smalls open the Spring 2014 show wearing a striped oxford shirt with a thigh slit midi skirt, I was sold. I'm glad Altuzarra kept the momentum alive.
Structured Dress with Crane Embroidery (Second row, right; $49.99 USD)
This is such a polished look. In theory, it's flawless, yet I'm convinced that it will not fit me properly ('cause, um, boobs) and that the fabric will have a higher sheen than depicted. {fingers crossed}
Wrap Dress in Red (Third row, left; $39.99 USD)
This dress encapsulates many of my favourite styles: long-sleeved dresses, faux-wraps, asymmetrical hemlines, fabric draping and scarves. Once again, I will have to observe the sheen and texture in person.
Velvet Blazer in Ruby Red (Third row, right; $59.99 USD)
This blazer reminds me of one I coveted from Zadig & Voltaire last year, except with super fly lapels. I really love the contrast between the lapels and the body of the jacket.
Honourable Mention: Pencil Skirt in Black Jacquard (Featured in Looks 1 & 2; $34.99 USD) - You can do no wrong with a black midi skirt.
If you follow every desire and everything you are interested in you will create something that is as unique as you. There was no idea to come up with and no technique to master — my career is a product of being me. Something everyone knows how to do if they let themselves.
Designer Francis Bitonti (a.k.a the man behind THAT Dita von Teese dress)
I love designers who can articulate a strong vision as a creator and not simply a maker of clothing. (Also, be still my ovaries... have you seen that man?!)
2014 Academy Awards "Look of the Night" - Menswear Edition: Chris Hemsworth - The men of Hollywood stole the Red Carpet this year! I enjoyed seeing the high amount of navy suits which is a nice departure from the tuxedo.
Chris Hemsworth took top prize with this lovely three-piece suit. I'm especially transfixed by the eggplant-hued blazer. Love everything from the black lapels to the straight fold of his pocket square. His best accessory: Daddy "Pregnancy Glow" (That has to be a real thing, right? Just look at him!)
2014 Academy Awards "Look of the Night": Kate Hudson in Versace -Â Although I was rendered speechless and utterly disappointed by the lack of Christian Siriano Fall 2014 on the Red Carpet (Am I the only one?), an awards season favourite of mine -Â Kate Hudson - did not fail to impress.
It seems as if everyone in Hollywood got the Dior & Versace memo, but I'm glad to see that someone sticks to their tried-and-true formula: fitted column dresses with bold shoulders, a healthy dose of skin and stand-out details. The controlled draping and pearlescent beads made this a no-brainer for me.
Jeremy Scott for Moschino Fall 2014 - I can't lie to y'all. Aside from checking out my favourites, I have been biding my time until Jeremy Scott and Nicholas Ghesquière debuted their collections for Moschino and Louis Vuitton.
I adore Jeremy Scott and feel like he is one of the few designers that has truly navigated the high-low streetwear-cum-high-fashion trend authentically. He struck a great balance between representing Moschino, staying true to his own inspiration and keeping an ear to the ground for trends.
While presented in a light-hearted tone, there seems to be a deeper meaning in the show. How he played with logos, elevating mainstream/low-brow brands as if it were elite fashion houses (McDonald's "Golden Arches" over Chanel's signature grid motif? Brilliant!) is a great commentary on commercialism.
Also, I want ALL of the accessories and the shirt off of Jeremy's back.
