Ciara Wearing Givenchy – Style Breakdown Option

Ciara stunned everyone during New York Fashion Week 2015 wearing a sheer dress from The House of Givenchy. To re-create this sultry look, I have shared photos and links below.  It’s not the exact replica (unfortunately we can’t give you couture) but as fashion girls, we can always search for a great option.

Style Breakdown:  Sheer Dress, Bodysuit, and Over – The – Knee Boots

Personally, I am the queen of mixing high and low fashion pieces.  I love couture but we live in a financially responsible world.  Great news is that we don’t have to sacrifice style based on our wallets!

Simply pick up your favorite fashion magazine (or blog) and start shopping for the look you want to achieve. Don’t forget to consider your body type and budget in the process.  Enjoy fashion and have fun creating your personal style!

Lupita Nyongo Vogue Magazine Cover | July 2014 Issue

Lupita Nyongo is on the cover of Vogue Magazine for their July 2014 issue.  This talented beauty is a red carpet siren and mega actress.  In the magazine spread she can be seen wearing, Rodarte, Proenza Schouler, Givenchy, Jonathan Saunders, Prada, T by Alexander Wang and J. Crew.  I love the combination of how fashion meets art and high end couture.

Take a look at the photos below:

VMA’s 2013 Fashionable Moments: The Editor’s Likes and Issues…Let’s Talk About It!

The Video Music Awards is one of the most fashionable moments where a music artist can shine.

Celebrities can push the limits while introducing a new trend or bring back a touch of “rock and roll” glamour.

And then there’s the select few that leave us confused and wondering what happened to their look.  Needless to say, no matter how it’s addressed, fashion’s a huge component of the VMA’s and it’s always fun to recap the selections that we saw (on our television screens.)

Photos below are from Elle Magazine.

Ciara

My Like: The dress is very couture and her body looks great!  The bead work mixed with orstrich feathers looks amazing.  My Issue: This is very similiar to a look  we have seen at another event.

Miley Cyrus

My Like: The beading stitched on the top and leggings looks gorgeous.  My Issue: I am not sure what’s going on with her hairstyle (looks very pre – k) and maybe a pair of stilletos would’ve pulled this look together.

Taylor Swift

My Like: Taylor looks very grown up and elegant. My Issue: This entire look would be great for the Oscars. She could’ve pushed the limits a bit more.

My Like: She did it just right! The spikes on her dress add a touch of rock and roll also her nude pumps are the exact shade of her dress which elongates her torso. My Issue: I don’t have any issues with this look!

My Like: The tail on this dress is very eye catching with orstrich feathers and a beautiful shade of blue.  The bodice also stands out because it’s completely beaded with a plunging neckline.  My Issue: This hairstyle has been seen on another artist (smile.)

Fashion is constantly evolving and we have to consider how it makes an impact from an international perspective.  The design qualities that are happening overseas not only makes a large presence in the American industry but also within cities around the world.

With that being said, the street style and interior design of Paris, France can not be overlooked!  Paris is considered to be one of the fashion capitals but also the home of several high fashion designers such as Chanel, Givenchy, Hermes, YSL, and Louis Vuitton.    

Quick Fashion History:  Paris, France

The french were the first to create fashion as an industry, going back as early as the 17th century.   Their royal court started the idealism of fashion trends.  This also began the evolution of fashion designers, wigs (beauty industry) and ready to wear apparel.  For additional information click on the link:
