Being part of the fashion industry is a real challenge, especially when referring to a fashion house. Nowadays, fashion houses, or better say their creative directors are facing many obstacles to remain on top. But, what does it take to be one of the top designers? Creativity and Uniqueness are both terms that are deeply related to the success of a brand or designer. If you cannot merge both these features, success is not an option. More and more designers…
Accessories, bags mostly, are important and much needed for our look. They have the power to change a look from boring to beautiful and stylish. Bags are an accessory we wear every day, and as such, we should pay special attention to them. For many people, buying a designer’s bag, especially if it is considered an iconic piece, is like an investment. Over the past three decades we have seen the importance of bags growing day by day as a…
Leave it to luxury French fashion house Celine to create the coveted fragrance collection we’ve all been waiting on. Today is the official launch of the “Haute Parfumerie” collection, which has 11 scents and was painstakingly cultivated by Celine’s creative director Hedi Slimane. Two of the 11 scents will be launching in 2020, but nine fall launches are here—and they represent French high perfumery at its finest. Wear them as you please, of course, but eight of the scents are…
Call it his long game. Last season, Hedi Slimane announced his arrival at Celine with a skinny glam rock collection that felt unambiguously him. The drastic change of direction at the house generated some pretty strong reactions from diehard fans of his predecessor Phoebe Philo, who felt deprived of the glamourous minimalism and sophisticated functionality she had excelled in. But Slimane had bigger plans up his slender sleeve. Having cemented his autonomy, the designer’s next move made jaws drop in…

Who would have thought that the plastic bag we use to go grocery shopping could become a fashion statement? Plastic Deli Bags have recently gained major importance, due to the fact that they have now become a trend. If you did pay attention to the presentation of the Fall/Winter 2018 collections, you would have noticed models walking the runway with plastic bags. We certainly did notice the trend outside the fashion venues as famous street style personalities embraced it immediately.…
All eyes were on Hedi Slimane today as he sent his first collection for Celine down the runway at Paris Fashion Week. After debuting a new logo (sans the é accent) and his first Celine bag on the arm of Lady Gaga, many wondered what the creative director had up his sleeve for the brand previously helmed by Phoebe Philo. And according to today’s runway show, it’s a whole new Celine. Sticking to the ’80s glam he made his signature at Saint Laurent,…
What’s old is new again with a resurgence of fringe. Fringe is having a big moment this year, especially in spring/summer season. Spring 2018 runways were dripping with fringe, proving its ability to cross seasons. The stuff is back this year and this time, it’s fancier than ever. We saw fringe at Chanel, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Anna Sui etc. A touch of fringe is everywhere: in bags, pants, dresses, skirts etc. It comes in an array of colors and…
Hedi Slimane, one of the most iconoclastic and charismatic characters in modern fashion, has been named the new creative director of Céline. The French designer is to replace Phoebe Philo, who confirmed her resignation from the brand in December 2017 after a 10-year run with the fashion house. Slimane began his career at Yves Saint Laurent and was hired by LVMH in 2000 to create Dior Homme, where his pin-thin jeans and sharp tailoring became the stuff of men’s (and…
