This week marks the start of the Couture Fashion Week schedule – but, of course, these aren’t the couture shows as we know them. With usual catwalk shows on hold due to social-distancing measures, not to mention ateliers having been closed for periods of time due to the pandemic lockdown, designers were forced to think outside the box when it came to showcasing the most expensive fashion in the world this season. Dior opted to tell its autumn/winter 2020 haute…
Since his arrival at the head of Balmain in 2011, Olivier Rousteing has rivalled in boldness and creativity at each of his fashion shows.

Even though uncertainty about summer holidays hangs over us, it still can’t stop us from dreaming about our holidays. As they say, we need a break after a break. These last months have been very difficult for everyone. We have worked from home and our entire routine turned upside-down. We did not have a specific working hour, as we found ourselves working from morning till evening with little pauses in between. Our home became the centre of the world and…

Even this season you can opt for anything, like clippers, hair pins,…
When we think of royal weddings, we think of tiaras. Sure, there are other hallmarks of blue-blooded nuptials—horse-drawn carriages, towering cathedrals, guest lists studded with kings and queens—but nothing says ‘royal’ quite like a headpiece glittering with millions of dollars’ worth of diamonds.
