by Kirsten Lea from Benjamin Kanarek Blog


While some are recovering from the New Year festivities, the beautiful belles of Hollywood are in fashion overdrive as the start of the year marks the most important period on any fashionista calendar, Awards Season.

From the People’s Choice Awards, Critic’s Choice Awards, SAG Awards, Golden Globes and ultimately, the Academy Awards; these ceremonies pepper my calendar like a battle stratagem. Each Red Carpet is a crusade and it is expected of one to enter

Fashion houses are reaching out—far, far out—to clients, and the extra effort is paying off in couture sales. WWD recently discussed the high—and widespread— demand for couture, and we found their tactics to be…well, really interesting. Forget your prototypical snobby reputation of the high-end fashion world—because these houses are going miles (literally) for their clients.

Surviving on the vintage

If you've followed my blog then you will by now know that I am feeling a bit abandoned by all my designers. Well in a few moments I have tried to come up with a plan to attack these feelings of despair.
Here's the plan people: We are going to vintage shop like crazy!
I know you are wondering where to do such a thing and actually find what you want but don't worry because Mandi knows all!

  1. In the search bar type in a designer of your choice such a

Bravo Galliano

8842622656?profile=original

Is it wrong to have favourite children? Galliano is mine, actually I make no apology. His latest couture offering in Paris had me punching the air with affectionate pride as he proved yet again he is the master of his universe. Couture makes me giddy like gas and air. The expectation is as some Shakespeare chap once fleetingly mentioned; “like the night before some festival to an impatient child that hath new robes and may not wear them”.The hype, the anticipation, the excitement, the spectacle,

We all know that Christian Dior’s Lady Dior handbag is one of the most famous designer handbags in the world but do you know the story behind the popularity of this bag? Well let us guide you from here.

Haute Couture only comes twice a year and is only shown in Paris. It is a rare bird indeed and thus is taken very seriously by those in the metier. It is akin to Formula 1 Racing or the Paris Le Salon de l'Auto where prototypes are shown and dreamt upon by the multitude of onlookers.

This year Fall-Winter 2012/2013 Haute Couture Collections were most definitely eye candy for this viewers eyes. F

Upon my recent return from snowboarding, and at the on-set of spring, I found myself at a loss for an opportunity to hone my boarding craft in the off-season. Unwilling to take an eight-month sabbatical from the sport, I entertained momentary flirtations with a snowboard simulator but wondered about its ability to give me anything more than a mediocre core workout, one easily matched by a simple sit-up regime. I needed to substitute snowboarding

John Galliano Off With His Crown

Thanks to Isa Maisa from Benjamin Kanarek Blog

If someone were to tell me I would be replacing John Galliano as the head designer for DIOR, I would not jump on the opportunity. I am once again shown the dangerous game of being on top of that mountain. You may be alone perched on the tip with hungry wolves just below waiting patiently for a chance to jump in.  Yves Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Alexander McQueen and now the fashion sweetheart, John Galliano, are just a few who lost their crowns.trans.gif
