Mulberry News

For those a bit more interested in the business side of fashion Mulberry has announced its new CEO, Thierry Andretta. 

Andretta has come from a high luxury background including Lanvin, LVMH, Moschino, The Gucci Group and Celine.

Mulberry are very much in the Fashionista's eye at the moment thanks to recent collaboration with fashion IT Girl Cara Delvigne. 

If Andretta can bring some magic along side new Creative Director Johnny Coca it looks like nothing for success for the accessories brand. 

Satchi

While on a recent trip to London me and a few girls took a little side track and went into the Saatchi Gallery. I have been to most of the obvious gallery's such as the Tate Modern and the Portrait Gallery but have never ventured here before. 

I have always been very interested in the collection of Charles Saatchi who is famous for discovering Tracy Emin and of course Damien Hurst who I absolutely love! I saw his exhibition a few years ago at the Tate Modern and have to say, even though I am not a massive fan of modern art preferring the Old Masters, I was blown away by his pieces! 

Here are a few of the pieces currently on exhibit that caught my eye! 

Gold and Sparkle

While browsing Pintrest I came across these beautiful images and felt I just had to share them! The current issues around the world have given the Burkah a negative image and and while these are not traditional Burkas they have the elements of one. I am not posting this to be political or for any other reason than the fact these looks are beautiful. The detail created on these Looks by Abaya Designs in 2014 are stunning. 

All I can think of when I see these designs is the scene from Sex and the City 2 when the ladies of Abu Dabi save the SATC ladies from the angry men and reveal the current Louis Vuitton line under their Burkas. 

This to me shows that where a lot of people like to promote the bad side of the Burkah or to the tradition of coving up, calling it repressive to women I feel this shows that there are women who embrace this element of their religion and have adapteded it to suit them. 

Savage Beauty

We last night saw the opening of the Alexander McQueen, Savage Beauty Exhibition at the V&A! It was a star studded event attended by the likes of the Beckhams and Kate Moss. Now I am not going to say to much just yet on this exhibition as I am seeing it myself on the 11th of April (along with Fashion High Tea at the Berkley!) But I will say this seems to be one exhibition that has caught the attention of the nation and I for one am counting down the days until I see it!

Purple Power pt2

Another emerging trend I saw hidden amongst the catwalks was purple. In different shades and forms but 100% there!

Throwback 70

As we all know there has been a huge nod to the 1970's on the recent catwalks. Here are a few key looks and below I found some original 1970's images which really show where the designers are getting their inspiration from! 

Regrets? What regrets?

Tattoos are cause for much debate! Some believe they are art others believe they are a sign of the devil! The picture above is of my own feet, I think u can guess what team I am on. These days that's are very common! Even appearing in models in many advertising campaigns including one for Chanel! 

Now the main question you hear when someone says they are getting a tattoo is 'what will they look like when ur old??' Well below is the answer! These amazing people have bared all to show that no matter how old you are your tattoos are always a part of you!
