#METBALL 2014: Charles James – Beyond Fashion



Tonight, 5th May 2014, world’s most extravagant fashion – Met Ball will be the first at the newly reopened Anna Wintour Costume Centre.

This year’s theme is “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” - a retrospective of the 20th-century British-born, American-based couturier.

Everyone is looking forward to red carpet moments of their favourite style stars so I thought to share mine because they never disappoint. Top on my list is the unfailing Sarah Jessica Parker, followed by Rooney Mara {she definitely grunge and weird so cool}, then there’s Iman, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Madonna. New comers I’m looking forward to include; Lupita Nyong’o, Allison Williams and maybe Mandy Kaling. Meanwhile, I’ll take to Instagram for the #BRC {before red carpet}.


Here is Guardian’s feature on Charles James

Journey Through the September Issue Part 2

Continuing from my last read - campaigns and all, I resumed reading on the contributors page featuring, Jonathan Van Meter, John Holagate and Virgina Smith who talked about their experience on pairing designers and their muse for an editorial photo shoot, Irish writer and poet Colm Toibin, Hamish Bowles, etc

On 'up front' is the story of a beloved dog, Rose lost over 15years ago...quite an interesting story which I could not stop reading till the end

"Stop as any rabbit, she was all over white with one ginger war, a gingered spot between her shoulder blades. White dogs are slow to show their age"

Throughout its 120-year history, Vogue has been creating arresting images intended to make the reader's eye stop. And with a new book 'The Editor's Eye' which is a collection of all of Vogue's covers, fashion shoots,  etc it's an opportunity to explore the Vogue archive.

FLASH
A selection of top personalities, activities, books, and places that seem to be of important impact on the edition.

Life with Andre
This section is one of my favourite sections of US Vogue, it's also a top reason I'd get a copy of any edition...clearly speaking or in simple terms reading, listening or just watching Andre Leon Tally (my Spirit Animal) is the most thrilling experience I'd give up any thing for. Andre is more than experienced, he's one of the most important, conversant and respected personalities in the entire fashion and style world worldwide. His section in  the magazine, Life with Andre, he reviews collections, people, happenings amongst other things, comparing, contrasting and melding the past, the present and the future in relation with the unpredictable and abstract. In this issue, Andre goes back in time into the lives of fashion's notably top designers; Zac Posen, Prabal Gurung, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Yohji Yamamoto and Marc Jacobs- one of the most influential and prophetic designers both for his own label and for Louis Vuitton. These are designers who after careful studying and understudying of the industry they started their own labels and so far successes within all the challenges and hardworking.
Vera Wang's former boss thinks "fashion should continue to be inspiring, relevant and celebrate the individual spirit. It will always be important for designers to have unique voices and remain true to themselves." - Ralph Lauren
While Marc Jacobs hopes fashion's future leans heavily toward "a continued promotion of self-expression. More freedom, no boundaries - individuality and the celebration of dreams" I strongly agree with him on this.
