The Balmain AW14 ad campaign has dropped and these are exactly, EXACTLY the faces we want to see in it!!! The diverse cast of models features Binx Walton (literally can’t get enough of her), BFFs Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn, Ysaunny Brito, Issa Lish, and new face Kayla Scott – FIERCE! The ad was shot by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Katie Grand.
This week leading British designer Vivienne Westwood officially launched her much anticipated red hot uniform collection for Virgin Atlantic. Following the announcement of the partnership last year, Sir Richard Branson, Dame Vivienne Westwood, and Blondie join a host of famous faces at a major red carpet event to see the grand unveiling.
Original design and sustainability are top of the priority list for Vivienne and Virgin in this long term partnership: upheld through intelligent cuts; beautiful tailoring; as well as polyester yarn made from recycled plastic bottles and a nano finish to extend the garments life and retain colour.
Vivienne Westwood has redesigned the iconic cabin crew look with an elegant, and feminine red jacket inspired by the “Bettina” jacket designed in the early 90’s with a matching red pencil skirt with a cheeky dart to the rear. The hand drawn wing designs are a recurring theme across all members of the team while a new addition of bags for ground staff has also been introduced by the Ethical Fashion Initiative in Nairobi in collaboration with the International Trade Centre, United Nations.
Vivienne Westwood’s design references her enduring interest in 40s French couture cutting, with a double breasted ‘drape coat’ for women, and updating the classic red shoe with Westwood’s iconic hourglass heel. Male crew will be provided with a sharp Saville Row inspired three piece suit with a contemporary twist in a deep burgundy Oxford weave wool.
Over 7,500 staff including cabin crew, pilots, Clubhouse staff and Virgin Holidays employees will receive the new uniform consisting of 22 pieces in total which has been trialled across airports and on board over the past year.
Blondie and Goldie entertained guests at the Village Underground in Shoreditch. Passengers will be able to see the uniform onboard Virgin Atlantic flights and airports from 1st September later this year.
Virgin Atlantic job applications just went through the roof!
The Mulberry AW14 ad campaign is out and of course it features Cara Delevingne and her Cara bags. The campaign named ‘A Breath of Fresh Air…’ was shot in Scotland by photographer Tim Walker.
Mulberry returned to its roots in the British countryside with a blast of fresh air to invigorate the brand’s new and very British Autumn Winter 2014 collection.
‘The thing I most like about our new Mulberry campaign shot by Tim Walker and starring Cara Delevingne is the sheer Mulberry of it! Big space, fresh air, wind in the hair, away from it all…Mulberry is a brand that is at home in town and country and we wanted to capture that feeling. When we arrived in Scotland it was pouring with rain, but once Tim arrived this golden sun appeared – he really has the magic touch!’
Anne-Marie Verdin, Brand Director, Mulberry
Lace bras are officially the new black! They’re even making them for dogs now! Just kidding, wait are they? No, no…I don’t think they are. Throw on a soft triangle lace bra under a sheer top/loose racer back vest for that instant sex appeal a la The Native Fox and The Haute Pursuit. Lace bras are available on the high st, high end and from little independent boutiques.
