Liza Owen s Fashion Week Diary

[https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/highlight merriam-webster.com]<br>Music maker and mover and shaker Liza Owen is all kinds of goals and never fails to have us going heart eyed over her style. Keep up with her as she reports back from London Fashion Week with what went down. I kicked off day 2 of London Fashion Week with the Ashley Isham show which was seriously amazing with some insane evening wear and standout prints. When it came to deciding what to wear, I wanted to go for something fun hair-wise that would work with all of my outfit changes throughout the day. I thought this low pony was a great option to mix the practical with seriously cool. The metallic thigh highs and shaggy jacket were a killer combo. Feeling the mix of contrasting colours and textures. Next up was the beautiful Paul Costelloe show. I sat front row so was lucky to be dressed by the designer with this jacket and trouser combo which I paired with this gorgeous PrettyLittleThing lace bodysuit, nodding to the underwear as outerwear trend. I felt seriously grown in this look. Shout out to my favourite runway look from the show with this sheer statement sleeve gown. This was LITERALLY the most beautiful show I’ve ever seen. It had a western/Cow girl theme which I just died for. These were two of my favourite looks from the show. With my uber talented friend Betty Bachz at the Henry Holland show. Here I’m wearing PrettyLittleThing trousers, metallic heels and my all time favourite accessory; the star studded choker. And that’s a wrap. Until next season fash week.<br><br><br><br>They unapologetically flaunt their style and passion for skateboarding simultaneously. Played by Ardelia (Dede) Lovelace, Janay is Kirt’s best friend and the group’s referee. She’s bighearted, assertive, and levelheaded; the type of person to go out of their way to spend an entire day helping a stranger find their stolen backpack (which she does in the show). She’s also the queen of sports bras as clothes. "Since Janay is skating during a New York City summer, I didn’t want her to wear too many layers," Lovelace explains. Signature item: The Obama Supreme shirt. "Obama is a powerful figure and represents personal progression to me. I wore that shirt to set during preproduction and Camille saw it and said ‘Oh! We are using that! Her advice for dressing like a skater girl this summer: "Ha! It doesn’t come down to what brand you are wearing, it comes down to personalization. I would suggest baggy pants with cute fitted crop tops that have texture and color. Mix and match patterns to make the outfit interesting. Honeybear (played by Kabrina Adams, who’s also known as Moonbear) is a shy, talented visual artist who always has a camera on her. Of all the girls, she’s the most striking and eccentric; she’s always wearing a colorful hair wrap, sports pasties in lieu of a shirt, and accessorizes with bike chain necklaces. "Basically my character wears what I do, except for camo. I don’t wear that," says Adams. Signature items: A speaker for a necklace and mismatched shoes. Her advice for dressing like a skater girl this summer: "You shouldn’t try to style yourself as something you’re not. It’s always best to try different pieces and find your own style.<br><br><br><br>Every so often, a competition-based reality show creates an actual star. That’s what happened in 2008, when Christian Siriano won Project Runway, launching him into a successful career as a designer and an established role in New York’s fashion landscape. Amazon Prime’s Making the Cut owes a lot of its DNA to Project Runway - it’s even hosted by Runway alums Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn - so when the show announced its winner last week, it was impossible not to think about Siriano, and about what a young designer might need to do to succeed now that the landscape is strewn with rubble. Compared with Project Runway, Making the Cut’s budgets are higher ($1 million for the winner), its locales are fancier (Paris, Tokyo), and its emphasis on commercial success is notably more intense. In each episode, the contestants design one runway look and one [https://apartments.com.gh/user/profile/11638 get more women's clothing info] accessible look. Whoever is deemed the winner (by a panel of fashion luminaries that includes Naomi Campbell) gets to see their accessible look sold on Amazon after the episode airs. The commercial angle shouldn’t be a surprise - this is Amazon, after all.<br><br><br><br>In Making the Cut’s finale, the top contestants (Jonny Cota, Esther Perbandt, and Sander Bos) were given three chances to demonstrate that they understand how to create and sell a brand. First, they were asked to set up a a pop-up shop in New York - a challenge that knocked out Bos. Next, the remaining two gave a $1 million pitch to Christine Beauchamp, the director of Amazon Fashion. But the final test came down to a runway face-off. Cota and Perbandt debuted their collections on a rooftop against the New York City skyline. Both aesthetics could be described as "edgy," with a mostly all-black palette with smatterings of white and leopard print. Still, there was a noticeable difference between them: Perbandt’s clothing ran toward the aspirational (think motorcycle jackets paired with wide 18th-century-inspired skirts), whereas Cota’s put his own spin on popular items you’d see in stores now like maxi dresses, bomber jackets, and even some menswear. The judges were split, but tie-breaker Nicole Richie granted Cota the final prize. " Klum said in an interview. "To me, he always had a very clear brand identity." Of course, everything’s changed since the show was filmed. Cota will need all of his business savvy to figure out what might come next.<br><br><br><br>At Lands’ End we know the importance of style confidence.
