Zuhair Murad Fall 2016 Couture

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. Yes, it sounds like way too much for any one collection, but Murad makes it WERK! It feels much like hippie chic, but actually looks more like rock star couture! Not sure that we are loving the wide buckled belts though. “She’s young,...

Renowned photographer, Steven Klein captured the timeless beauty of Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, & Claudia Schiffer, veteren supermodels of the 90's.  The shoot has a minimal monochrome feel, and  features the latest looks from our fav Creative Director, Olivier Rousteing. The Balmain Army is growing and it remains consistent in its diversity.  SLAY ON!

"Still today, many years on, their iconic images are often found amongst the jumble on mood boards in my (and almost every other designers') atelier. To say that working with them was a dream come true is no exaggeration."...

She is silently becoming the new face of fashion's diversity initiative as she has rocked the runway for several designers including Balmain, Céline, Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and more!

Burberry recently launched its highly anticipated S/S 2015 campaign featuring 44 year old supermodel and icon Naomi Campbell, alongside a 24 year old Jourdan Dunn.

Chanel Cruise 2015

Our fav Puerto Rican glamazon, Joan Smalls is the face of the new Chanel Cruise 2015 ad campaign. Originally presented in Dubai, the collection was shot by Uncle Karl Lagerfeld.  Joan is photographed wearing patterned looks from the cruise collection, which is said to be inspired by orient romanticism. The campaign also features Hudson Kroenig, (Karl's godson) and the son of model, Brad Kroenig. There has been a bit of controversy surrounding this editorial as Hudson's presence seems unnecessary; almost like he is a prop. Although we will always love Chanel, it definitely doesn't give us a "romantic" feel. What are your thoughts dolls and gents?
