Elie Saab Goes Hollywood, Egyptian-Style Designer Features Jewel-Encrusted Sunnies to Match Beading The Elie Saab Spring 2017 Couture Collection is full of elaborate embellishment and old Hollywood vibes, but the veteran designer slayed with his jewel-encrusted sunnies to match the beading on the dresses. Inspired by the "Golden Age of Egyptian Cinema," the collection feels like over-the-top versions of the Jackie Kennedy look. Every gown is red carpet worthy and we can't wait to see which celebrities will  indulge during award season. Images: Vogue Runway...

Marc Jacobs Closed Fashion Week with a (Cultural Appropriation) BANG! Caucasian Models Strutted Runway in Multicolored Faux Locks “All who cry ‘cultural appropriation’ or whatever nonsense about any race or skin color wearing their hair in any particular style or manner — funny how you don’t criticize women of color for straightening their hair. I respect and am inspired by people and how they look. I don’t see color or race — I see people.” ~ Marc Jacobs I am definitely here for Harajuku Chic, but the choice of hair...

Zuhair Murad Fall 2016 Couture

Runway Shows
Zuhair Murad's Hippie Couture Collection Diverse Models Slay in Embellished Gowns & Thigh High Boots Innovative designer, Zuhair Murad never seems to disappoint! This season he gives LIFE with no parole as diverse models parade the runway in embellished lace, velvet, capes, chic hats and super sexy thigh high boots.  Pinched waist lines, sequins, bell-sleeves and form fitting cuts defined this collection, while the crimson and purple added a hint of color to otherwise black, beige, and soft pink looks.

Not sure that we are loving the wide buckled belts though. “She’s young,...
