Vogue Festival 2012

So as you might know from my rambles on twitter, I was lucky enough and was able to attend the very first Vogue Festival this past weekend. I have my mom and sister to thank for that. Being the “unaware of anything that is going on person” that I am, I didn’t even know about this event until my mom started talking to me about it. She accidently came across it while looking through a magazine while on a plane to San Francisco. Thank heavens she went on that business trip!  The events comprised of 4 different sessions spread out through Friday and Saturday. I have to admit, the event was well worth the 75 British pounds per session, although most would probably agree with me in saying, it was still quite expensive to obtain tickets. So, a huge thanks to my gorgeous sister for helping to pay for it.

A Guy and A Girl

I always love when some of my favourites from the industry join forces to create something beautiful. And I just found out that it's happening yet again. Photographer Guy Aroch is showing a new exhibit, at Milk Gallery in New York City, at the moment, featuring model Elsa Hosk.

The Real Karl?

With the release of his new chic and cheap line ‘Karl’, Karl Lagerfeld decided to step into the shoes of ordinary people, doing everyday activities like reading the sport news, driving, and grocery shopping. Displayed in the pages of French Elle, you can see Karl Lagerfeld like never before. With supermodels, Saskia de Brauw and Caroline Brasch Nielsen by his side of course, and dressed head to toe in his latest ‘Karl’ collection.

 “I haven’t driven since I was 18,” Karl says, “and that’s a benefit to society because I ended up in a ditch, without knowing why!”

A Man's Story

As suggested by my lecturers, I went to see the documentary A Man’s Story by Varon Bonicas. The film follows the life of London menswear designer Ozwald Boateng. Ashamed to admit it, I had never actually heard of Ozwald before they told us to check out this film, however after watching the trailer it was obvious, I was instantly captivated by him as a designer, even though I was never too keen on men’s fashion.

2012's Fall Runway

After watching a lot of the AW 2012/13 catwalk shows live online, I gotta say, I really wanted to shove most of the outfits into my closet from now. Some great trends were taking over fashion weeks across the world, making me not want to wait until next season when it'll all hit the stores. So from all the looks I have put together some of the biggest trends seen on the runway for you guys to take a look for yourselves.

1. Military

First up we have the Military/Utilitarian trend. With the olive and black color mix, this was mostly given to us with a great heavy duty coat to give it the full look.
