Trend Alert: MOD ABOUT YOU

Factory Girl is one of my favourite movies of all time- I absolutely love the mod look and I am so happy it’s popping up throughout the Spring 2013 trends. There is a dramatic feel to the 60s era and it’s fun to play it up. Here, I compare 5 of today's trends with Andy Warhol’s factory, as well as his infamous muse, Edie Sedgewick.

1.     Make-up

Edie Sedgewick was all about the exaggerated eyebrows and eyes, as well as ultra-nude lips. 

Model, Cara Delevigne, has bold eyebrows and eyes that really stand out against her pale, flawless face at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 runway show.

Another way to play on the trend is to create exaggerated eyes and bottom eyelashes in an electric hue- just like the model on the right at Moncler Gamme Rouge Spring 2013 runway.

2.     Stripes

Here, Edie is wearing a black and white striped shirt and if there is anything you should buy for this Spring, it is a striped item in contrasting colours.

 This is a similar top to Edie's and it's Marc by Marc Jacobs.

  

     The MSGM striped and voluminous pants are great if you’re more of a risk-taker.

      If you’re on the safe side, the Alice + Olivia Lucite box clutch is perfect for a night out. 

3.     Silver Chrome

The silver chrome colour is everywhere this upcoming Spring. It reminds me of Andy Warhol’s factory and the silver balloons in the movie, Factory Girl.

The Ela editor’s pouch is an affordable way to hop on this trend.

Just recently, blogger Danielle Berstein of We Wore What posted a picture of her chrome nails. I cannot wait to try this on my nails!

4.     Geometric shapes

Edie is pictured wearing geometric shapes- the ultimate mod look.

 Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2013 runway looks were all about geometric play in different colours.

For a more understated look, the Manolo Blahnik black and white checkered heel is a great option. 

5.     Statement earrings

A fun way to accessorize with the mod trend is to purchase statement earrings. They especially stand out against the 60s bob and Edie’s short, androgynous hair cut. 

The white Dannijo are sure to make a statement, as well as the gold Eddie Borgo Edie earrings below.

From Converse to Stilettos - Kristen Stewart's Style Evolution

Although "style icon" may not be the first word that comes to mind when it comes to our favourite buzz worthy celeb Kristen Stewart, we are always curious and on the look out of what her next red carpet look will be.

Seemingly nonchalant, Kristen has stated in her interview with Vogue Magazine that she isn't keen on actresses who are "more concerned about looking pretty in your heels, and so you're walking slowly down the line. Put a pair of sneakers on." From one extreme to the other, we soon find Kristen rocking sexy high heels and body hugging outfits! Lets take a closer look at her style, and how its evolved over the years with some honorable mentions...

In 2009, Kristen attended a red carpet event sporting a Yigal Azrouël dress with beat-up sneakers, creating a youthful, edgy, and non traditional look.
















Again in 2009, this time at the teen choice awards Kristen has gone for a super punk rock ensemble with a spiked metal skirt, wonder what the Volturi would think of this look? One plus, heels!

Kristen is taking on a more sophisticated glam look at the premier of Snow White and the Huntsman , but oh wait...take a closer look...Sneakers!!! Quite a strange combination to say the least.                                       

This outfit is to die for, Kristen looks stunning at the TIFF festival this year - feminine, sexy, and sophisticated. Once she called it a night however, on came the sneakers, this might be her signature look after all!

VA-VA-VOOM!! She sure knows how to make a statement, confidently wearing a sheer Zuhair Murad jumpsuit, all eyes were on her at the Twilight Breaking Dawn 2 premier.
















One this is for sure, the red carpet would be a boring place, without the young and rebellious fashion flare of the only woman who can rock a sheer gown and kicks - Kristen Stewart.

Jennifer Lawerence Emerging Style Star

The Hunger Games is finally being released, and Jennifer Lawerence finally gets her moment to shine. Although she was in the summer smash X Men: First Class, as well other movies and appearances in shows. did anyone really know who she was before. Looking at her now her beauty stands out, and her style isn't too bad either. At the premier of Hunger Games she was a stunner in her gold gown by Prabal Gurung. (right) an d again she ravished in another gold dress this one by Ralph Lauren (Left)

I know I am not the only one excited to see what she wears to premiers around the world. I also love that I have someone new to look at. The whole cast is just stunning, but I really enjoy seeing all of Jennifer's outfits.

She definitely knows what works with her. The Hunger Games may be her start but it's not her end, with sequels to the Hunger Games, and three other movies in production. Seeing her on the red carpet will be a pleasure. and seeing her on the cover several magazines (Parade, Glamour ect.)means we will definitely being seeing her a lot more.

ps. She definitely makes a great Katniss Everdeen.

Loooove

Lights, Camera, Jacobs!

By Keshia Griffiths

Everything’s coming up Marc! (Marc Jacobs that is) Who else could have Kate Moss close Paris Fashion Week on a white carousel runway, be rumoured to take over the reins at Dior, and transition into acting at the same time. Yes, it seems Marc Jacobs is a man of many colours, but which of them are true? According to Harper's Bazaar, Jacobs has denied any plans to leave Louis Vuitton for Dior, however, the acting bug has bit the design icon for real. He has been cast in the movie Disconnect, alongside Alexander Skarsgård (yum!) and Jason Bateman, taking on a role he claims is nothing like him in real life. More recently, Marc Jacobs appeared in the latest episode of South Park as Muscle Man Marc, one of Cartman’s beloved toys.

It has been reported by New York Magazine that Marc Jacobs will commemorate this event by making the character his next tattoo, as he feels this is the greatest honor he has ever received (being a South Park fan, I would have to agree.) To see Marc’s big screen debut we will have to wait until 2012.

I know what I’ll be wearing!
