Valentino Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 Campaign!

Valentino has released it's Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 campaign for the world to glare its eyes upon! Photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vindoodh Matadin captured 10 models through the lens dressed in no other than the most exquisite designs from the brand itself. Hiring no other than major models including Britain's own Sam Rollinson, Kati Nescher who covered February 2013's issue of British Vogue and a Valentino favourite Maud Welzen to name a few. 

The idea behind the campaign was to capture a sense of Dutch. It may seem unlikely for some, but the Dutch Master was the muse for the looks and I believe that the highly contrasting colour campaign such as the florals against the black background and the red shoes and handbag against the white wall pull together a graceful and intriguing view on what the Fashion house is all about.

Finally, the third shot highlights next seasons accessorises from Valentino Garavani Accessorises collection which features the likes of legendary Photographer Terry Richardson!

Michelle Williams for Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2013-2014!

Hollywood Actress extraordinaire, Michelle Williams is officially the new face of Louis Vuitton! The luxury designer brand known for its signature style and chic look was chosen to front the brands all important Autumn/Winter 2013-2014, and if the designers are looking to bring in a new bunch of clients from outside the Fashion world, then the may have captured the whole of the Hollywood world as well.

The French Fashion House enlisted Photographer Peter Lindbergh to captured the soft and sophisticated looks, whilst the styling of the perfectly placed hair style with a slight relaxed look was the work of Sam McKnight, along with the makeup done by Stephane Marais which included a natural look and a bold red lip to draw attention to the feature. 

Whilst the clothing featured in the campaign was from the Autumn/Winter collection designed by Marc Jacobs, the shots highlight two fresh new handbags: the W and the Capucines which come in the classic brown and the brand identity pattern. 

Ensure to keep your eyes peeled on the spreads in magazines throughout September to see this impeccable campaigns debut.

Elie Saab Couture Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 show!

Elie Saab is possibly the show I look forward to seeing the most when Couture fashion week is upon us! For this Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 collection the incredible designer pulled everything out the bag to deliver exquisite detail and impeccable gowns filled with beads and sequins full of shine and shimmer to ensure all eyes are on the dress. 

The fabulous gowns screams red carpet looks that only the most A list Celebs will be blessed to have the honour of wearing (unless you are incredible rich). They hold a sophisticated and expensive appearance without the 'too busy' look as the effortless style carries your entire look. The couture looks are made with embellishments and that is exactly what Elie Saab knows how to deliver to perfection without making the looks overpowering so that the lucky person who gets to wear the amazing designs can wear the dress, instead of the dress wearing you. 

The colour scheme of red, grey, blue, green and silver all hold the meaning of classic, strong and empowering to make any women feel a million dollars, which especially comes into the cards with the finale look seen above where two other models from the show held sheer detailed reins. The grey exquisite embellishment glistens under the spotlights in Paris as the dress gentle lay down the back of the models head and over the shoulders.

Naomi Campbell opens for Versace!

The time has come, after 15 years in the waiting, Supermodel Naomi Campbell returned to open the Versace Couture Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 show in Paris. Wearing a a bold black and silver embellished detail number accessorised with blunt bangs and slick straight hair, Campbell also appeared with a dazzling silver necklace and black stilettos with a clear detail around the toes. 

The whole show had a rock and roll feel to it and I completely agree with what Versace told British Vogue quote that: "Only a true icon could like Naomi Campbell could open this show."
