The Body Shop has launched a new campaign, calling for a global ban on cosmetics animal testing. The Body Shop will take the Forever Against Animal Testing (FAAT) campaign to the United Nations, and request an international convention banning cosmetics testing on animals. Through the campaign, the brand is calling out to people, who care about animal welfare, from across the globe to join the cause and sign the petition.

The Body Shop was the first international beauty brand to campaign against the practice of animal testing in cosmetics in 1989, leading the way to a European Union-wide ban on animal testing in 2013. FAAT campaign is one the most ambitious campaign ever against animal testing by the brand and aims to end the practice of animal testing once and for all.

The, fall 2017 campaign sees the French photographer Brigitte Lacombe collaborating once Again with the house, capturing the iconic Dior sunglasses in their bold new incarnations, Diorsorealpop.

Taking inspiration from the grace, beauty and elegance of its iconic swan, Swarovski presents a collection which celebrates the motif through a modern and fashionable take.

The striking shots highlight delicate pieces that can be worn every day, such as the Swan mini pierced earrings which bring a discreet touch of sparkle to any outfit. For fashion-forward flair, the versatile Iconic Swan pierced earring jacket feature rose gold tones and shimmering Pointiage® crystal. Both strikingly modern and exquisitely feminine, they can be worn alone for timelessly elegant look or with Swarovski Crystal Pearl earring jackets for a more edgy look.

Putting a so-now spin on its signature sparkle, Swarovski presents a decidedly modern take on easy-chic pieces that make women feel brilliant, more confident and radiant, each moment of every day.

Under a blistering Singaporean sun and in front of a crowd of over 300 guests, Prince Harry today took to the field for the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup to raise funds for his charity, Sentebale.

For the first show of the day, Birmingham City University graduates, showed off some amazing talent on the SmartFocus catwalk. Everything from rosy-pink prom queens in extreme pleats to light, reflective stain-glass windows in autumnal warm shades.

We saw some interesting collections including polystyrene stuffed PVC and puff coats with mustard yellow fur patches. There was a nautical cream line-up with sailors’ knots binding around the body, with hints of ocean blues and burnt orange. Futuristic tie-dye denim contoured the figure and school boy, longline blazers graced the runway in stormy greys, all paired with white ankle socks and patent black sandals

Pastel garments were embroidered with patchwork slogans, and fun frills caught a lot of attention at the end of the show, as did the Japanese blossom tree florals and red ribbons that wrapped around the models up to their necks.

Followed by UCA Epsom, as graduate Renee Leslie sent down a selection of metallic garments. The use of bold statements, hand written graffiti, and quotes like “Slut Walk” on large signs brought a dramatic mood to the collection by Morley Freeman.

Manchester School of Art graduates kept the audience on their toes in Bethan Currie’s pastel fur jackets with “BAN THE BOMB” and peace signs made a bold statement to start the show. This was followed by Sophie Maddocks’ use of the female gender symbol accessorising shirts printed with “feminism means equality” and “time to woman up”.

The University of Northampton, designer Courtney Allen dressed models in a vivid collection of fluorescent yellow outerwear, not to miss the puffer jackets and wide leg trousers from a mile off.

With recurring colours of red, blue, yellow and white throughout the entire Northampton show, each look drastically changed. Oversized stitches decorated the first collection of white, blue, and red looks, by Gemma Stevens.

While, two collections focused on workwear with a more uniform look, consisting of garments made from white and green parachutes, olive green cargo trousers, tailored military jackets, and burgundy felt berets.

Contagious joie de vivre, resort 2018 Collection by FENDI, embraces a playful, irreverent approach to break the boundaries among fixed categories.

The masculine meets the feminine, the rigid is combined with the soft. Frisky juxtapositions of contrasting elements define an upscale wardrobe, which is utterly sophisticated in its metropolitan modernity.

A Pop explosion updates the men’s tailoring world. Classic masculine patterns, such as Prince of Wales, checks, chevron and argyle, are magnified and rendered in flamboyant tones. They include the eye-catching pink shade of an outstanding leather and mink intarsia prince of wales coat and of a checkered wool suit.

A colourful energy runs through the collection. It also emerges in the delicate, romantic blossoming garden of exquisite floral prints, embroideries and jacquards. Daisies punctuate the eyelet cotton dresses in bold tones. Bright orange details pop up on the new “bomber cape” matched with a coordinated flounce skirt. Flowering branches appear as intarsia on a precious Persian lamb and mink coat.
