Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Yanina Spring-Summer Collection 2020

Yanina Fashion House greets the second decade of the XXI century by creating a daring, extravagant and at the same time extremely elegant Spring-Summer collection.

Stepping aside from the usual noble and discreet black and white style, designer Yulia Yanina in SS2020 collection reveals the additional facets of the designer’s work with colors and flowers.

The collection is inspired by legendary beauties of the sixties, who created the most memorable images of the generation, inspired the designer for this collection, such as Audrey Hepburn or Catherine Deneuve, Jacqueline Kennedy or Lee Radziwill. Fringes and overalls will remind of such legends as Cher and Jane Fonda, while striking mini will evoke the style of Jean Schrimpton and Twiggy.

“Rebellious spirit under the bourgeois classics » – this is the mood of a new chapter in the history of the Yanina Fashion House.

Those inspirations create a glamorous and dream-like universe. At the end of the show, Yanina comes back to the iconic dresses of the House – black dresses with the signature embroidery of filigree work. The cut is both chaste and outrageous, classical and audacious: the past enables the designer to create modern clothes, made for women who want to make a difference.

Yanina’s new collection is an ode to freedom and boldness: it magnifies the female body with chic and timeless pieces.  This new collection marks a new chapter in the history of the House counting 25 years of dressing women around the world.

PARIS HAUTE COUTURE FASHION WEEK : ADELINE ZILIOX COUTURE SS 2020 SHOW

The fountainhead of a river or stream; the place from which a flow of water begins. A person who or thing which is the chief or prime cause of a specified condition, quality, emotion, etc.; a place where such a condition, etc. originates. A place where, or process by which, energy or some specific component enters a system; a point or center from which a fluid or current flows.

Like pure water spouting out of the Mother Earth and flowing down the rocks covered of moss in a virgin forest. The sources are several. They can be made with joy or sadness, with happiness, inspiration, life, and energy…

The source of life is the origin of the new collection by Adeline Ziliox. This inexhaustible source, inside all of us. An interpretation as much spiritual as in the reality of the moment that we’re living on our planet. This planet we must protect, as we must take care of our inner source. The mix of the elements like water and ground reflects the association of the fabrics, the work on the empty and the full like our life tempo, the embroideries like emotional landscapes…

Always in an eco-friendly approach and involved in the future of our planet, Adeline Ziliox uses only french know-hows, short courses for restraining the ecological impact, and fabrics like embroideries made by hand in her french ateliers.

4 Interesting Benefits of Wearing Birthstone Jewelry

You may have seen it or even have worn a piece of birthstone when you were younger, but do you know what it really means to wear one? Birthstones are those mystical stones that are connected to your birth month and represent certain powers. They are of different bright and dark colors and shapes that come in necklaces and bracelets that you can customize. If you’re looking to invest in a piece of birthstone jewelry for yourself, your daughter, or grandchild, the following are some benefits you need to know before making the purchase.

They Can Provide Better Mental Health

Problems arise in everyday life that can affect us mentally to distort the emotional state for it to feel discomfort. Functioning in daily life with a mental state that isn’t stable or has negativity can be quite hard. Birthstones can help diminish issues with the brain and help you relax. They provide energy for your mind to calm down and make you feel serene. You can consult a birthstone specialist and ask them about the powers of your stone. Different stones have their energies that can offer you with the strength that they direct from their planet.

They Can Protect You And Bring Luck

Some birthstones protect you against tough situations in life and help you through some dangerous scenarios. Some stones can help you from evil thoughts like ruby and some can help you stay calm through a challenging task like the Pearl. You can get alternative gems to these if you can’t afford the real one with just as many powers. Both of them can bring you luck and open doors to opportunities. It may sound like a myth to you but it is not also completely untrue. Birthstones have the power to alter your situation into a favorable one and help you succeed at a stage in life providing you serenity and strength.

Make A Fashion Statement

These colorful jewels can help you make a statement any time you step out. You can create your own personalized birthstone necklaces with your birthstone to flaunt it at events. The bright color can contrast with your dress and help you shine. Celebrities can also be seen doing this to look good. And the trend of wearing colorful jewelry can never go out. These colors let you connect to the cosmic colors of the galaxy that provide you immense supremacy over your body and mind to have peace.

Meaningful Gift

A birthstone can be gifted to loved ones on many occasions and it can be the best gift. These stones with meaningful backgrounds and powers that can make someone’s life better and mind renewed can be a memorable present to someone. They can be presented on the birth of a baby by his/her parents, grandparents, or other relatives. A grown child can be given the stones of every family member when they depart from their home for studies or after marriage for them to be able to feel their presence while being apart.

Tenth Street Tripoli Fisherman Hat: Casual Shopping Outfit

The cold weather will definitely motivate your dress options. One way to combat the brisk air is not only through layering a variety of pieces but wearing a stylish hat.

This particular accessory is understated but just like any other clothing item, there are seasonal options. A few seasonal hats include the beanie, felt hat, or bucket hat.

Selecting a stylish hat does have a few requirements. Number one, it must fit the head properly. Number two, when selecting a winter hat, you want a hat that has texture.  Nothing boring will do!

The Tripoli hat that’s seen in the photo has so much detailing. I love the chain link and it’s an easy fit.  Fisherman hats are very on-trend and can be dressed up with a suit or worn for a casual look with a Faux Fur Coat.

Visit Tenth Street to purchase your hat for chic winter style. Also, January 15th is National Hat Day!  Use the coupon code below to add a trendy hat to your wardrobe.
