Stella McCartney Evening FW-2012-2013

Stella McCartney Evening FW-2012-2013

Skirts in the style of the 1950-s, dresses and prints in the style of the 1960-s, satin silk, lace and hosiery are all included into the evening collection by Stella McCartney for the winter 2012-13 season. The collection pleases with its happy colors and accents (the gold belt will turn any dress into an evening gown!).
The historical allusions are easy to guess: Dior’s full skirts, black and white dresses reminiscent of the famous dress by Yves Saint Laurent in Avedon’s photograph “Dovima with Elephants”, or almost a copy of the dress from Borodulin’s SS-2012 collection, which could have never been seen by Stella McCartney… For those, who like discreet outrage, there are dresses with insets of skin color. Kate Moss tries one of them on in the lookbook.

Adidas by Stella McCartney SS 2012

adidas by Stella McCartney SS 2012 is a new collection, which is penetrated throughout by the sun, the sea and the sand, and is supplemented with a line of water sports clothing. A real must have of this season is the surfing suit Swim Wetsuit. The clothes and the footwear are already on sale.The significantly expanded collection of adidas by Stella McCartney was first introduced in the February of 2005, and still remains a unique concept of stylish sportswear for women. The collection is marked by a strong emphasis on sports and consists of clothing, footwear and accessories for tennis, golf, running, yoga, for classes in the gym, for cycling, for the spring-summer season, and winter sports.



The creator of adidas by Stella McCartney SS 2012 collection underlines that the new collection is vigorous and bright. The models are very light and will fit into your bag so that you can exercise at any time of the day. A stylish collection for surfing has also been presented. It is believed to inspire girls to take up water sports, enjoying the ocean and nature. The line for water sports is very feminine, but at the same time it is sporty and youthful. It is distinguished by bright and bold colors and the asymmetrical cut. Such models as Swim Wet Shirt and Swim Board Shorts witness to the fact that the collection destroys the traditional concept of sportswear.

adidas by Stella McCartney SS 2012 collection is full of unconventional solutions. If the cut is a little harsh, it is compensated by the feminine design elements, reflected in the source of inspiration for the entire collection – in the confidence and brightness of the women of the 1990-s. Bright colors are combined with monochrome details, and luxurious polka dot models come side by side with the models in 3D-silhouettes, which give them a unique original form. The highlights of the collection were the new running shoes Running Broadbill adizero with adizero ™ technology and Axyridis Clima with adidas ClimaCool ™ technology.


It is the first time that adidas ClimaCool ™ technology was used in models. ClimaCool ™ allows you to maintain the optimum body temperature during exercise due to ventilation in the key areas of body heat and sweating. The collection for running proved to be very successful: the line presents new light and exquisite materials and harmoniously combines style and sports. All the models for running are characterized by feminine cut, bright vivid colors and look marvelous together with the products from other collections, such as Cycling.


The Studio line was inspired by dancing. These models are perfectly combined with the line for gym yoga, which is based on soft and comfortable fabrics made of organic cotton in natural colors and contrasting with the models in bright and warm shades. The Essentials line was created especially for the girls, who prefer simple and stylish models for sports. It revives the classic models from the previous collections, representing them in the original materials and new colors. In addition to the above mentioned highlights, the collection for the new season will also present the new Golf, Cycling, Weekender lines as well as the Celebrate Great Britain T-shirt.



According to the tradition, the WTA first tennis racket, Caroline Wozniacki, will be the face of the Tennis collection, representing tennis models at the lawn tennis tournaments and the models from the Studio and Running lines in everyday life. The first racket will appear at the Grand Slam tournament in an exquisite lace tennis dress (its main peculiarities are the cut of the dress and the compatibility with miCoach). At the Australian Open tournament, Caroline will have a feminine orange top and a yellow skirt, combining excellent sport characteristics and sophisticated elements of design. The Danish tennis player will start the Wimbledon tournament in an elegant white dress with the floral pattern elements. The image of the tennis player will be complemented by the special version of the legendary tennis shoes adidas Barricade VI, created for adidas by Stella McCartney collection.

Gothic Versace Show at Milan Fashion Week 2012

Gothic Versace Show at Milan Fashion Week 2012

The black color, crosses, strict straight silhouettes – these are the main motifs of the new collection by the Versace Fashion House, which undoubtedly will delight the fans of the Gothic style and rock-chic.
Donatella Versace admitted that she had finally had enough confidence to do what she had wanted.

In the new collection, the designer uses leather, mesh, metallized elements, and a bra in the shape of a coffin. High collar, long sleeves, armor-like corsets, shimmering crucifixes that adorn coats, dresses and skirts send us back to the medieval style and the bloody religious wars of that period. At the same time, the collection is still characterized by the corporate chic and the sensuality of Versace.

The new creations of the House correspond to the spirit of the latest collection, created by Gianni Versace, which was also pretty gloomy. Finally, Donatella Versace also ventured to explore the “dark side” of life. It took her 15 years to be able to replicate the spirit of that collection. She admits that the idea of doing it was constantly spinning in her head, but she was not ready, and it was something very personal for her.

However, the result is really worthy. Our applause!

Milan Fashion Week 2012 - Prada

Milan Fashion Week 2012 - Prada

The showing of one of the most influential fashion designers – Miuccia Prada – is always awaited with particular impatience. This time, the designer moved away from the playful prints and silhouettes of the 1950-s, which were presented in her spring collection, making geometric and mosaic prints and more strict cuts the predominant ones.
At the beginning of the show, dark colors were predominant on the catwalk. Prada even admitted that she had initially conceived to make the entire collection black. However, at some moment, the designer grew bored with it and decided to turn to bright colors. She used bold geometric prints, decorating the items with massive jewels, used bright color combinations of orange, purple, green, and others.

Almost every image includes cropped trousers, often in a combination with skirts and dresses (Prada suggests wearing multi-layered skirts and kilts over trousers). They evoke associations with the Indian style. Also the collection clearly shows the influence of the military style.

Although Miuccia herself claims that she did not have to be inspired by something specific. She does not want to talk about ideas and influences. The collection is devoted to beauty. Nowadays, every designer has a theory about his/her collection, but it is not for Prada. According to the designer, this collection tells about the pleasure of fashion.

Prada, as usual, pays special attention to accessoires. During the new season, one will be able to find leather bags with geometric appliqués and Mary Jane shoes on a platform decorated with jewels in the brand’s boutiques.

Richest Supermodels List

Richest Supermodels

About 22 years have passed since Linda Evangelista said she would not rise from her bed for less than ten thousand dollars. And it seems that the prices in the world of high fashion have changed considerably since then.
Indeed, the representatives of our today’s rankings, published by the British financial magazine, “cost” almost a billion, if taken together. Well, we will not exaggerate the already impressive sum of 913,546,200 dollars. And this is despite the fact that there are only twenty beauties!
Of course, such earnings are provided not only by the participation in shows and photo shoots. So, number one in the list of the wealthiest couture divas is Gisele Bündchen (for some years in a row!). She has got the larger part of her fortune due to advertising, as well as due to the success of her line of Ipanema sandals (the brand was created in 2001, and already in 2010 it could boast selling 250 million pairs), and the Sejaa care cosmetics line. We can also add the vast estates in her native Brazil, where, among other things, she has a hotel that is very popular with tourists. Thus we will get that very sum of 151,468,800 dollars of income that has given the first place to Gisele.

The honorary “silver” medal and the income of 89,934,600 dollars went to Tyra Banks – due to her Project America’s Next Top Model, of course. As we know, one of the legendary Victoria’s Angels is not only the host of the show, but its producer as well, which is far more profitable.

And the third place of the podium with 80,467,800 dollars has been taken by the American model Christie Brinkley. However, calling her a “model” is an understatement, because Christie is also an actress, a designer, an illustrator, a photographer, a writer… And what is also important, she is the owner of a large estate, including that in Hampton.

The favorite model of many brands, Kate Moss, is a little “lagging behind” Brinkley. Her participation in the advertising campaigns of Rimmel, Balmain, Agent Provocateur, H&M and Burberry (the last two brands terminated the contract after a cocaine scandal in 2005), her own line for Topshop, which was successfully marketed around the world in 2007-2010, and the current contract with Mango have brought the flamboyant Briton 78.89 million dollars.
