Our fashion blogger Green Eyes resumes her fashion column today with this fresh round up from the glitz and glam of the fashion world.
The Love Magazine Blog has an awesome collection of backstage photos from Milan’s fashion week. Go behind the scenes at Dolce & Gabanna, Prada, Armani and Gucci. Expect to see lots of girls in their knickers, surly yet shockingly beautiful models and snippets of the upcoming season’s trends.
In case you were still not convinced Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue US, had a powerful hold over the fashion industry, your opinion can now change. It was reported that Anna planned to only stay in Milan for three days during fashion week. This decision caused the organizers to work around her and change the normal nine day event into five. Although it may have suited Anna, the rest of the Milan fashion pack were not as happy. According to Fashionista.com, the press and buyers were entertained outside the Gucci show by a group of protesters wearing wigs, sunglasses and t-shirts that read “I Will Only Stay 3 Days”.
Lily Allen is giving up music and turning to fashion. At least that’s the story she’s telling Style.com. Lily told the website that her last gig will be next week and then it’s onto bright pastures, namely a vintage shop called Lucy in Disguise she’ll be opening with her sister Sarah. The shop is set to open in August and will debut at the UK’s Goodwood Festival along with other vintage stalls and shops. The stock will be picked by the Allen sisters under the mentorship of Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway, the duo who turned Camden Market into the vintage Mecca it is now.
Two weeks after his death, Lee Alexander McQueen was laid to rest. The 40-year-old designer, whose death has now been ruled as a suicide, was buried at Saint Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge. Among the family members and friends, many prominent fashion personalities including Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Stella McCartney, could be spotted. Many of the mourners wore some of the designs that made McQueen so famous. These included several family members who sported the designer’s trademark tartan and heiress Daphne Guinness who wore a dramatic cape from a previous collection. A much larger memorial service for McQueen’s supporters is expected to take place later this year.
