Key Fashion Trends For Autumn/Winter 2017

As you can see from my previous blog post, I wrote about 3 key makeup trends for a/w 17 and my opinions on them. I really enjoyed doing it, so I thought it would only be fitting to pick 3 of the trends that I think will take over the autumn/winter fashion scene for the upcoming season.

So Scandalous | Kendall and Kylie 'Vintage' T-shirt Line

The Kardashian/Jenner sisters are known for being culture vultures but this was a step too far. We are used to seeing them profiting off of black culture and rebranding it as if it were their own and a ‘new trend’, and their new line of t-shirts is another example of this. The Jenners, Kendall and Kylie were branded 'disgusting' and 'disrespectful' after the release of their new t-shirt collection which features their faces plastered over the top of images of legendary musicians such as Notorious BIG and Tupac Shakur.

Abstract Episode 2 | The Art Of Sneakers

Abstract: The Art of Design is a new Netflix original series that profiles eight designers representing various different fields within the design industry. From architects like Devlin and Crawford to graphic designer Paula Scher, each episode goes into detail about 1 designers occupation and how they have contributed to the industry. 

MTV VMAs 2017 | 3 Of The Best Dressed Celebrities

It's that time of year again for the MTV VMAs. The show most definitely continues to shock and excite us each and every year. From jam packed performances to controversial acceptance speeches, the VMAs never fails to disappoint. Whilst the music is the most important part of the awards, the red carpet (or blue carpet in this years case) is just as important.

Key Makeup Trends For Autumn/Winter 2017

Winter is quickly approaching, meaning that trends are beginning to change. From the fresh faced highlighted look that was very popular in the Summer months, the trends for this autumn/winter are the complete opposite. From the runway, designers have showcased a variety of different makeup looks, but here are 3 trends that I think are set to take over:

Luxury Meets High Street | Balmain X L'Oréal Paris Collaboration

Balmain X L'Oréal Official Lipstick Collaboration Ad Campaign

Speculation about this collection started back in May when L'Oréal Paris said that soon the public will be able to "Wear Balmain on their lips". Instantly hundreds of magazines documented their thoughts on this potential collaboration and whether it will definitely happen. However, yesterday to our surprise, the ad campaign for this collaboration was officially released, and might I say it looks amazing.

True Faith Exhibition | Manchester Art Gallery

After receiving our summer brief, we also were given activities and recommended reading to do over the summer so that we could be as prepared as possible to start year 2 of Fashion Communication and Promotion. One of the recommended activities was to visit the 'True Faith' exhibition at the Manchester Art Gallery. Before I went to this exhibition in Manchester all I knew was that it was about an iconic punk group in Manchester. I don't listen to this genre of music therefore it was all new to me. Therefore I had no clue what to expect.

Louis Vuitton X Supreme | Streetwear Meets Luxury

This collaboration is probably one of the most anticipated and important collaborations of the year and if not fashion history.  With Louis Vuitton and Supreme being at the top of their categories, this paring truly breaks the boundary between streetwear and luxury by creating an all encompassing collection of clothing and accessories.
