MFW: the glamour edit

Milan is the most glamorous fashion week – or at least it seems it to me and every time I have visited Milan it has been awash with super polished, glossy ladies with a penchant for pricey handbags, heels while shopping, snakeskin, silks, furs and seriously glamorous Italian designer labels – epitomised for me by Versace and Gucci.

So without further ado, here are the looks that scream MILANO to me (unfortunately some would appear to contain real fur, which some consider luxe and glamorous but we think that fur only looks cute on happy furry animals).

Etro, Versace, Bottega Veneta and Roberto Cavalli

MFW: Top 10 round-up

Milan Fashion week is always ‘the glamorous one’ and this season saw its fair share of red carpet worthy dresses as well as Prada’s Japanese-inspired collection…which definitely means the oriental style clothing we say on the catwalk in London is definitely going to be BIG this Spring!

Ooh and Jil Sander’s back with minimalist masterpieces.

Cara Delevingne works the runway for Dsquared2

Vogue: going for gold

As the closing ceremony for the London 2012 Games approaches we’re filled with excitement, tinged with a little sadness as this Summer of sport has been incredible. (We’re still stoked about the Paralympics btw!)

As well as Victoria (Spice Girl again) Beckham’s probably performance one of the rumoured features of the closing extravaganza is a supermodel walk-off and we can’t wait. Naomi Campbell hosted a dinner party that has whetted our appetites further – just look at the outfits – while Vogue has produced this glittering golden display of British fashion talent. Go Team GB!

Retro photo shoot smack-down: Naomi Campbell vs Katy Perry

Oh the retro photo shoot with its romantic photography, film siren eyeliner and glam clothes, we’ve seen so many of late and yet we’re not bored…yet!

Can you believe Naomi Campbell is 41? I mean seriously! She steals Tina Turner’s style for a quirky shoot for W Magazine but thankfully not her unique walk (that’s not how you close Roberto Cavalli’s MFW show y’all.)

And so to Katy Perry  for Interview magazine (get scrolling!) who has gone all old-school Hollywood with tassels and burlesque details, but in an almost Art Deco kind-of-way and she really reminds me of a young Elizabeth Taylor. Anyone else?

Putting the SUPER in super model

Love this dress

Cavalli opens Tel Aviv Fashion Week

We’re used to covering London, New York, Paris and Milan Fashion Week(s) but now there’s a new kid on the block and it’s a little controversial in some quarters.

Italian fashion legend Roberto Cavalli opened Tel Aviv Fashion Week (well, 3 days) in Israel after a 30 year leave of absence.  The flamboyant designer showed off his SS12 collection already seen at Milan.

Cavalli in his element

But why Israel? Well politics aside Milan is twinned with Tel Aviv so the two cities have close ties. Consequently as well as its own Fashion Week, five Israeli designers will be allowed to show off their collections as guests at Milan’s biannual fashion events, according to reports.

There will be two Tel Aviv Fashion Weeks a year, with the next in April 2012. But with high fashion labels and couture huge in the Middle East we’re sure we’ll be seeing more fashion weeks springing up.

Mario Boselli, President of MFW’s organising body, apparently said that he was impressed by the creativity of the Israeli designers and wanted to encourage a new generation of them, while Cavalli reportedly said that Israel is in his heart.

Details of the collection

Kristen Stewart wears Cavalli to London Breaking Dawn premiere

We’ve only just stopped swooning over Kristen Stewart’s stunning J. Mendel gown and now she’s given us a new dress to lust over!

The Twilight siren rocked the red carpet in an elegant Roberto Cavalli dress with edgy Alexander McQueen belt for the UK premiere of Breaking Dawn.

Kristen has been blasted for looking miserable at previous events but she looked super happy…the best accessory.

So which dress do you prefer? We just want them both!

How amazing is this dress?!

Love the scooped back/belt detail - great styling idea!

How cute are Rob and Kristen together?

Beyonce dazzles in Cavalli dress for Pulse perfume launch

Since announcing her pregnancy Beyonce hasn’t shied away from her usual glamorous style and the launch of her new perfume, Pulse was no exception.

The singer wore an incredibly short sequined mini dress by Roberto Cavalli last night in New York and kept warm with a
matching midnight blue sparkly blazer. Cavalli tweeted the pic!

Cavalli opened a new shop in the middle of London Fashion Week where The Saturdays, Cher Lloyd and Holly Valance looking great in Cavalli gowns. Beyonce’s also been spotted at NYFW shows as well as showcasing her new clothing collection, House of Dereon at Selfridges.

Here’s the commercial for Beyonce’s new fragrance.

The starlets were out in force for the opening of Roberto Cavalli’s super glamorous shop, even if it was London Fashion Week. The Saturdays ditched their usual hot pants and miniskirts for signature Cavalli gowns, while Cher Lloyd and Pixie Lott kept their outfits short and sweet.
