A distant view of fashion industry would only reflect the merriment and the glamour that it has been gifted with. A deeper and closer insight, however, might acquaint one with the ‘not so rosy picture’ of working with the glitz of the arena. To give a funny and light-hearted visual representation of the same, i-D, who is famed as the consistent source of inspiration in the fashion culture, released a video which features an annual roundup of the most influential personalities within this realm.

580Moreover, the video was made in collaboration with Business of Fashion, thereby celebrating the conclusion of ‘BOF 500’ issue.

Speaking of its contents, the video features some of the big names in the industry like Alexa Chung, Tim Blanks, Charlotte Tilbury, Derek Blasberg, Binx Walton, Carine Roitfeld and Edward Enninful amongst many others.

From being overloaded with work, attending fashion weeks and dressing up to luring for lesser hectic schedule, the video sums up in a nut shell, the pros and cons of working with the fashion industry. It surely is a must watch!

300The last few days of the mesmerising Paris Fashion Week appear to be in full fervour as fashion labels Stella McCartney, Leonard, Giambattista Valli, Ellie Saab, Wunderkind and Yves Saint Laurent enthralled the runway in the most passionate way.

As the day kicked off with Stella McCartney and Leonard, the two labels showcased their exclusive and vintage ethos through their creations. Long drapes, layers, stringed embellishments, shrugs and mild layers worked the best for Stella. Elegance attached with the utmost comfort, along with funky surface prints proved to be the prior essence of the collection. While, for Leonard, it was all about keeping it street style dynamic and rough. However, partial feminine appeals could also be spotted. Keeping the colour scheme comparatively dull, the designer made some ethnic use of floral and aquatic prints, which lead the onlookers luring for the collection in full sway.

580 1Meanwhile, asGiambattista Valli, Ellie Saab and Wunderkind hit the grounds, the ambience of the evening seemed to be in a complete swing. While both Giambattista Valli and Wunderkind’s creations comprised of a complete day wear collection, Ellie Saab stood true to the brand’s philosophy and showcased some exuberant and luscious evening wear creations. Giambattista’s creations were mostly intricate with applique prints, unique cuts and innovative styles. Wunderkind however focused more on the comfort factor and conventional chexk prints. Besides, it was Ellie Saab who took all the attention with its exuberant colour palette and feminine silhouettes.

580Last but not the least, Yves Saint Laurent ended up being the major highlight of the day, especially because of its exclusive runway setup. The designer presented an all new party wear collection in fabrics like glossy leather and smooth velvet. Furs, metallic finishes, trendy sling bags, safari jackets and funky belts listed among the highlighting embellishments and accessories. The collection was surely an ideal wardrobe for the fashion freak teenage girls of present times, for whom glamour and sophistication are the only fashion mantras.

Moreover, the day was also met by Sacai, Emanuel Ungaro, Veronique Branquinho and Sonia Rykiel with their spring summer ready to wear creations on the runway.

Masterfully suffused with the beauty of handles and convergences of light and color, Not So Serious by Palavi Mohan presents joyously seditious SS15 collection for upcoming WIFW.

580The collection weaves a story around a wide array of fabrics in chiffon, silk organza and georgette, textured embroidered mesh, cottons, knitted and bonded fabrics adds a different floating dimension, in an interesting mix of pastels with fresh and subtle colors – white, acid green, elusive peach, dusty pink, aqua and nude.

Beaded shirts, crop tops, heavy full circular skirts, crisp pants and full length dresses are fashioned in body structured, straight and flowy silhouettes in easy to wear shapes .

200 aCaroline Brown, former president of the fashion brand ‘Caroline Herrera’ is now expected to join Donna Karan as its CEO, replacing Mark Weber, who took on the role in 2006.

According to reports, she will leave the office as the president of Caroline Herrera by the end of this year. Where LVMH, Donna Karan’s parent company, has been looking for Weber’s successor for quite a long time, Brown’s decision comes at a well fortuned time for them.

Meanwhile, Brown has previously served as the CEO of Akris US and as Giorgio Armani’s senior vice president of marketing and communications for the US. Besides, she has been famed for her remarkable efforts for Herrera label’s growth in four consecutive years, which includes the introduction of an app and the expansion of the company in numerous directions.
