Day One at NYFW: The stars and the street style.

Day one concluded with both Kanye and Tom Ford in a 'runway' off. A great start to the upcoming season. As with many of the big shows, there is always an entourage of high profile guests in attendance. We have selected some of the best dressed and what we can take from their fashion choices this New York Fashion Week. 

Kendall and Kylie, at their labels pop up shop in New York yesterday. Showing us that the co-ord is still very much the 'in' thing. Kendall sporting Black and Kylie going for a striped number. 

Chloe Moretz in attendance to the Cartier Fifth Avenue Maison re-opening wearing a Coach pajama style dress with velvet strappy shoes.

Sienna Miller, as at the Cartier celebration, wearing a light, summery boho inspired dress. 

Cindy Crawford attending the Tom Ford show, again dressed in white.

Autumn Beauty Trend: Dusty pinks.

As we have a few weeks left of summer, it is time to start to think about the next season. We have already covered a little in fashion with trends such as military and pink. But this post focuses on a beauty trend that will make a beautiful transition idea from the last few weeks of summer towards colder months.

Summer make up tends to be very natural, bronzed and bright with dewy complexions and lots of highlighter. But Autumn tends to tone that down a bit to bring a more matte look to the complexion with more coverage. Also darker colours on the eyes and lips tend to creep in come autumn.

But why not mix and match seasonal trends? Try using the summery colour pink, washed over eyelids with a more toned down, matte complexion to transition between the seasons.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills palette (here)  has everything you need for a look like this. Blend into the socket and smoke out the pink using a more orange/ brown shade to create a well blended, seamless finish. Add a thin line of a darker shadow at the base of the lashes to create a thinker, more defined lash line.

Pair eye look with a nude/ natural shade of lip colour.

Balmain Autumn Winter Fall 2016 - star studded show

Does it really matter what Balmain throws down the runway anymore? The label, which is just months removed from an H&M collaboration that incited scenes that wouldn't be out of place in a zombie apocalypse movie, thrives on the power of social media. Today was no different. Kanye West sat front row with his creative director and Off-White designer, Virgil Abloh, and Kris Jenner. Twitter was alight with pictures of Kendall and Gigi, who flipped hair colors, walking in the show. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Karlie Kloss, and Jourdan Dunn also made a trip down the runway. But Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing was just getting started.

A live band (because people who insist they're classy often are) played versions of David Bowie and Queen's "Under Pressure" and Savage Garden's "To the Moon and Back." People have often criticized Rousteing for being excessive to the point of nauseousness and this live orchestra was a step further in his quest to always be doing the most.

Rousteing is a maximalist and he has always willingly added his aesthetics to current trends. Last season, as the '70s swept the fashion industry, the designer played with suede and applied gold hardware and ruffles wherever he could.

This season was off to a more subdued and controlled approach with elegant patterned tops and slim-fitting silhouettes in pastel colors like blush and aqua blue. However, Rousteing's control unraveled as he fell back on old habits. Ruffles and gold began to weigh down the collection and there was a parade of pieces embellished with pearls (similar to the sweatshirt Kanye's sporting in slide 45), glitter, tassels, ruffles, and fur — sometimes all at once.

LFW: Burberry AW16

Designer Focus: London Fashion Week – Burberry

Burberry showed their Autumn /Winter collection on Monday, and it undoubtedly steals the show.

As arguably one of the most anticipated shows of London Fashion Week, the show obviously had an A-list studded front row. Stars including Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Naomi Campbell, Suki Waterhouse and Alexa Chung were in attendance, kicking off the show with an entrance alongside other stars on the Burberry red carpet.

Of course the show was held within the grounds of Kensington Gardens, however the runway has begun to veer in a more curved fashion, with models striding around the crowd. A different set up to previous shows at Burberry.

As for this seasons performer, Jake Bugg was nestled amongst the crowd to play accompaniment to the collection, which had a very retro, mod feel to it, therefore Jake Bugg was the perfect choice to play.

Creative director, Christopher Bailey, said that it was “not a themed show, but all the things that I love, It’s a patchwork of different things – from Mitford sisters to military to glam rock.”

Amongst the collection there was a number of military style overcoats with either red or gold piping, sequined dresses with huge flowery prints, lots of khaki parkas and more overcoats, but in large check either a sort of burgundy colour or khaki.

As for the accessories, shoes where either in a shoe/boot style, plat formed, topped off with tassels, of studded biker style boots.  Bags were very statement, as following on from a popular trend seen back at New York Fashion Week, with belt style handles or shoulder straps, that were often matched up with belts worn over the top of trench coats.
