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…
Fashion week becomes even more exciting as soon as it starts in Milan. One of the shows for today included Prada which is absolutely a must. Miuccia Prada presented a wonderful collection, which made us consider wearing suits more often. But when referring to suits, we do not have in mind the typical version of it. The suit version of Prada includes an oversized jacket paired with fringed skirt. The result? A dream, something that will be worn by most…
In Vogue’s most recent video, Everything You Need to Know About the It Bag, international editor at large Hamish Bowles schools us on, well, everything you could possibly want to know about the history of a handful of now-iconic designer bags. But where can one shop the latest iteration of the It bag? Chanel’s 2.55, Fendi’s baguette (not be confused with a loaf of bread!), and Dior’s saddle and lady bags are such durable styles that their legacy houses offer modern, newly produced versions of these classic…
Miuccia Prada and her team will receive sensitivity training following a product controversy. In December 2018, the brand was called out over figurines that appeared in a New York store window which resembled blackface monkeys. The New York City Commission on Human Rights has been working with the Italian brand since the items were spotted. At the time, Prada apologised and immediately removed the figurines, promising to prioritise diversity, but the city’s law enforcement agency that oversees New York’s human…
While we enjoy winding down at the end of a long day with a quick fix of reality TV, there’s nothing like getting off our phones, and heading outdoors for healthy dose of history. Thankfully, the cultural calendar isn’t short of exhibitions offering just that, on from now right up until the end of 2020. One show already on our radar for next year is ‘Prada. Front and Back’, opening at the Design Museum next September. While we’ve seen retrospective displays of…
Carla Bruni is a woman known for many things: she’s been a supermodel and she’s been the first lady of France. One of the top models of the 80’s and 90’s, she has made a name for herself as a singer and actress as well. Her perfect body and her natural elegance turn her into one of the 1990s most famous and sought-after supermodels. She walked the runways of fashion designers and campaigned for big fashion brands including Guess, Givenchy,…
Wearing heels is kind of my thing. In a certain way, heels add a more sensual look to a woman and without doubt they also make her the centre of attention. I have worn heels my entire life, but I am not the kind of person that is only addicted to high-heels. For instance, during the day, mules have become my top choice of footwear. Mules have existed for many years and these past few years they have had a…
The Prada Group has announced its commitment to going fur-free, joining a number of other fashion houses who have pledged to stop using the animal product. The Italian fashion label will make the change from the spring/summer 2020 collections and this will include; Prada, Miu Miu, Church’s and Car shoe brands. “The Prada Group is committed to innovation and social responsibility, and our fur-free policy is an extension of that engagement,” Miuccia Prada said in a statement. “Focusing on innovative…
Prada is destination number two of Resort season. The company’s West 52nd Street Piano Factory headquarters aren’t quite as exotic as Dior’s torchlit Marrakech idyll looked in pictures, but there were luminaries to spare in the front rows at tonight’s show: Uma Thurman and her teenage son in one section; Elle Fanning, Max Minghella, Diane Kruger, and Paul Dano in another; and a Stranger Thingscontingent in a third. All that star power aside, though, this wasn’t a collection of glitz and…
