PERSONALISE YOUR STYLE!

Everyone has his or her own style, that’s for sure. Even if two people are wearing the exact same clothes they will definitely not wear them the same way. Everything looks different on different people, but you still might want to create a totally unique look by styling yourself your own way. There are many ways to create your own style and absolutely unique appearance, e.g. you could wear different types of luxury watches, a hat, combine unusual colors, wear clothes with comic strips printed on them or combine the latest fashion with second hand clothing and the like.

The crucial thing: Do you like it or not?

Remember that there is basically just one important rule you have to keep in mind: Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence! Of course this applies only to clothes you like and feel comfortable in. Don’t wear clothes you don’t like, regardless of whether they are en vogue or created by your otherwise favorite designer. Clothes are meant to please you and if this isn’t the case, there is no point in wearing them. But if you wear them, confidence is a necessity. So, this made clear, let’s move on.

Jewellery and accessories can make a difference

A good idea to make one’s own look absolutely distinct is to combine the various garments with different kinds of accessories and jewellery. Bracelets, rings, necklaces, sunglasses, watches, scarves and hats can all give your outfit that extra touch. Furthermore, some of them not only serve an aesthetic purpose, for example the beauty of a Rolex Milgauss, but do also have a practical use. Sunglasses and hats shade head and eyes, while watches enable you to see what time it is at a glance. The combination of various items can definitely enhance your looks and make your outfit a real eye catcher!

VERSACE AUTUMN/WINTER 2012 CAMPAIGN


The Versace Autumn Winter 2012 ad campaign is loose and the darkness of it all has me spiraling! Shot by impeccable duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, with art direction from Giovanni Bianco, and styling from Joe McKenna and David Bradshaw. The campaign features models Elza Luijendijk, Philipp Schmidt, Dmitriy Tanner & Kaccey Carrig on location in London in what looks like a dark and dingy warehouse! Why is it that I want everything the guys are wearing?! I won’t say no to that low back dress either!!!

Dontella Versace – “I’m really thrilled with our new campaign. The result is bold, strong, iconic and perfectly conveys the sexy rock vibe of our Fall/Winter collection”
