Runway Fashion pre-spring 2014

                                         GIVENCHY 

 

Riccardo Tisci has a lot to celebrate at the moment. Last week he received the International Award at the CFDAs, and last month he was a guest of honor at the Met Gala. (Then there's that very enticing yet still just speculated romance.) So why shouldn't he splash a confetti print across his resort collection for Givenchy, or show lots of sexy shoulder with gathered bandeaux, or sculpt festive new shapes — belted bell skirts! culottes! — or risk more upholstery jokes by bringing back those floral prints? We're still getting used to the sudden ubiquity of white lace, but most likely we'll be singing its praises by the time winter rolls around.

                   Gimme my Givenchy any day! Love the collection and what he's done with denim!



  

                    Riccardo Tisci Finds His Givenchy Man in the Favela

As the fashion set may not be aware, the 2014 World Cup will take place in Brazil, the second time the country has hosted the highest international football championship. Riccardo Tisci appears to be planning ahead with Givenchy's 2014 pre-spring men's collection, titled Favela 74. As the loaded name suggests, the collection is a concrete jumble of contrasting bold prints and vivid colors, as well as tropical and urban influences, recalling the designer's longstanding fascination with Latin America.
All the Givenchy staples—T-shirts, sweatshirts, bermudas, kilts, parkas—are given the mishmash treatment. Highlights include a wool and mohair grain de poudre tuxedo with ottoman satin lapels, reversible nylon coats, and bags (a first) braided from multicolored leather. And for those who didn't get enough of Kim Kardashian's optical florals from the Met Gala, there's plenty of those, too.      
  

                              Loving the pink hair models! Definitely a good look in my book!

                                                   DIOR CRUISE

      A bit tame in comparison to my designs, but nevertheless, still love the concepts and use of colour!

                        UNFORGETTABLE PARIS RUNWAY MOMENTS

                                                     CHANEL

Chanel is more than a label..it's a way of life! Shout out to my husband Karl, cheers for another bad-ass collection!

                       The Many Funny Faces of Cara Delevingne

With the face of an angel, distorted like a stoned she-demon (with the very strange and unsettling ability to cross one eye), Cara Delevingne will always mug for the camera...

 Its amazing how we glorify these models and make them into seemingly inhuman super-celebs. Don't get me wrong I love Cara, but personally just don't get what all they hype over her is about???? hmmm ok.....as I always say...to each his own! Until we meet again....stay...oh-so-fab! And remember you can see our amazing work on Instagram: Souzounoushi, and via facebook at www.facebook.com/souzounoushi

Sheer Ectasy

Get ready for a sheer, see through sexy spring and summer. With loads of plastic, chiffon and other see through designs popping up everywhere, its quite easy to spot the trend!

BACKLESS DRESS...as dare as you bare..another trend to look out for

I am sooo excited about the mood of fashion right now. Everything is super sexy and super embellished with swarovski, pearls, beads etc. Just up my alley! DIESEL targeted!

Diesel is the target of a malicious spoof.After sending shockwaves through the blogosphere and bitter condemnation from Diesel, it turns out the Diesel for Women site is indeed a spoof started by Women on Waves. The Dutch non-profit issued a letter explaining that they, along with the activist group Yes Men, “designed the hoax to expose the violations of women’s rights that take place in the garment industry.” But why pose as Diesel? The organization cites the 2011 report “Captured by Cotton” which claims that companies such as Diesel exploit garment workers hired by subcontractors through the “sumangali scheme,” forcing women to work for years in anticipation of a lump-sum payment. The ad’s faux-factory, with its abundant abortion-related imagery, was intended to point out that many garment factory workers (75 – 90% of whom are women, average age 19) face unsafe conditions, rampant sexual harassment, poor healthcare and no maternity leave. Many of these factories are located in countries where abortion is illegal. Women on Waves is campaigning to make medical abortion available to women all over the world. May we recommend Change.org? Well back to bling and shining things...got shoes to design and catsuits to make! Until we meet again...stay-oh-so-fab my darlings!
