Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

While some might sniff that Victoria’s Secret is to lingerie what Gap  GPS 0.34%  is to haute couture, the Fashion Show remains a cultural touchstone (though a shrinking one: last year 9.1 million people watched the show, down from 9.7 million a year earlier.)



But despite the audience dip, Victoria’s Secret sales are growing. The brand last year generated $836 per square foot at its U.S. stores, a performance worthy of a luxury brand (as a point of comparison, J.Crew’s sales per square foot was $588 in the last year, according to eMarketer), even as it continues to open stores.

The event, which once broke the Internet after millions tried to watch the show online (for fashion tips, no doubt), will again feature the famous Angels strutting around in outrageous lingerie (diamond-encrusted brassieres, anyone?) to the music of the hottest pop stars of the day. (Everyone from Nicki Minaj to Taylor Swift to Maroon 5 have performed at the Fashion Show.)

The show—which was filmed last month at New York’s Lexington Avenue Armory and featured performers Selena Gomez and The Weeknd, as well as Kendall Jenner and Gigi Haddid on the runway—is an important part of L Brands’  LB -1.23%  efforts to keep its Victoria’s Secret brand at the center of pop culture.

YouTube's golden girl Tanya Burr suffers a fashion fail

She made her millions by becoming one of the globe’s biggest vloggers, dishing advice on all things beauty and fashion as well as general musings on life to keen twentysomethings.



But as the creme de la creme of the fashion world united at the London Coliseum on Monday for the British Fashion Awards, Tanya Burr made quite an impression in her questionable style choice.

Accompanied by her husband Jim Chapman, the 26-year-old YouTube star stood out in bold ensemble, consisting of a black sheer pleated skirt and knitted grey blouse.
She happily drew attention to her toned curves in the dramatic flowing number, which allowed her to show off her limbs, elongated in a pair of chic Christian Louboutin heels.

With her luscious locks left loose in glamorous waves, Tanya plumped up her pout with rich slick of matted burgundy lipstick and emphasised her gorgeous eyes with several coats of jet-black mascara.

And that’s exactly what went through Tanya Burr’s mind as she got ready for the BFA’s with this gorgeous cotton-mesh and pleated gown by Barbara Casasola.
Whether the risk paid off is a matter of a opinion, but we reckon Tanya looks elegant in this semi sheer dress which features a see-through black skirt.


Barbara Casasola draws inspiration from the raw nature and rich modernist tradition of her native Brazil when it comes to her designs, and this dress really is the picture of contemporary style.

'Project Runway' winner shatters the fashion industry's status quo

On Sept. 11, six Project Runway finalists showed collections at Skylight at Moynihan Station for the reality series' annual New York Fashion Week show. The designs of one contestant — whose identity was kept secret at the time to avoid spoilers — made a particular splash.



And on Thursday night, the designer behind that line — Ashley Nell Tipton — was crowned the winner of Season 14. Tipton was the first Project Runway contestant to show a completely plus-size collection at fashion week; now she's the first winner to specialize in full-figure fashion.

Even before participating in the series, Tipton created and sold clothing that went against the plus-size industry status quo. Her garments were full of bright colors and patterns.

"My mission is to represent for full-figured women and to enable them to have options to express their style and individuality through fashion as women who wear 'standard' sizes," Tipton states on her website.

Tipton, who has a store launching soon, hopes to set an example for future plus-size designers.

"I feel happier than I have ever felt in my life — not just to have won Project Runway, but more so that the world will get to see my voice and my heart through my designs," Tipton tells Mashable. "I can wait to shine a light in the fashion world for plus-sized women everywhere."

H & M’s Ongoing High-Fashion Experiment

H& M launched its first-ever designer collaboration, with the Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld, eleven years ago, in November of 2004. My wife, a fashion illustrator, was sure something historic was in the offing, and she convinced me to go with her to check it out. We arrived at H & M’s flagship store, on Fifth Avenue, shortly before the doors opened, at 9 A.M. A line of men and women, ranging from twentysomethings to senior citizens, and dressed in everything from jeans to luxury labels, snaked down Fifth and around the block. Inside, they fought their way through the crowds, garments heaped over their arms; they stripped to their underwear in the aisles to try things on. In the melee, I managed to grab and try on a black military-style wool-and-cashmere overcoat. Cut long and slim, it elongated my frame, narrowed it, lent it a subtle drama that touched off fantasies of myself as a windswept Byronic wanderer (as opposed to a middle-aged deskbound writer). The price: a hundred and forty-nine dollars. A Lagerfeld original would have cost a thousand dollars. I bought two. I still wear that coat, and strangers still stop me in the street to ask where I got it. The backup, tags intact, is stuffed at the back of my closet, ready to be called into service when the original starts to look shabby.



Donald Schneider, who is now the creative director of H & M, came up with the idea of that first collaboration with Lagerfeld. At the time, Schneider ran a fashion-consulting firm hired by H & M to review its advertising campaigns, and he had worked for eight years as the art director of Vogue Paris. A soft-spoken German now in his mid-fifties, with glinting gray stubble and a bald head, he continues to dream up, and oversee, the collaborations today. When I met with him in June, at a photo shoot for the Balmain launch, I admitted that I had been among the hoards who lined up for the Lagerfeld début, and that I scored the black military-style overcoat. He nodded vigorously and said, “a fantastic piece,” adding that he is still wearing the suit jacket from that collection, and still gets compliments on it. Up to that point, he said, anyone who mentioned an H & M ad campaign would talk primarily about the models. “I wondered, could we do a campaign where people talked about the fashion?”

Short Wedding Dresses We Fell For During Bridal Fashion Week

Don't get us wrong, we love traditional wedding gowns with their sweeping ground-grazing skirts. Yet, there's something so irresistibly charming about a shorter dress. Case in point: When Keira Knightley tied the knot with her beau James Righton, she wore an airy tulle Chanel dress that she accented with a tweed jacket, delicate floral crown, and ballet flats.



And now that the trend in bridal is skewing more casual, with a rise in City Hall ceremonies followed by a reception, wearing knee-length or shin-grazing wedding dresses is no longer seen as unconventional.



"My friend got married in City Hall last year, and she wore a short Marchesa cocktail dress with a little veil, and it was adorable," Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman told us at the brand's bridal fall 2016 presentation. "I say, whatever works for you, go for it."


Below, we rounded up fall 2016 short wedding dresses from Bridal Fashion Week that we'd happily say 'I do' to.

Jeremy Scott at New York fashion week: 60s pop culture through an 80s prism

The designer proves ‘plastic is fantastic’ as he melded his signature pop-art aesthetic with bright, outrageous prints and dresses made with acrylic panels
“Plastic is fantastic” was Jeremy’s Scott’s summation of the mood of his spring/summer 2016 show at New York fashion week on Monday afternoon.



Alexander Wang at New York fashion week: a return to urban roots

Looking at the collection, this wasn’t just a pithy sound bite for the crowds of press backstage. It was a pretty neat description of clothes that combined bright colours, vibrant prints and, yes, plastic in shiny jewellery and dresses made from panels of Perspex. It was all worn by models in wigs that unapologetically resembled cartoon hair like that last seen in the 60s futuristic cartoon series, The Jetsons.

Since he launched his label in the late 90s, Scott has excelled at anything with a pop-art bent – and his references for this are seemingly endless. The designer, who has also worked as creative director for Moschino since 2013, has previously drawn inspiration from fast food to Barbie, telephone wires and the Flintstones.

This time around, it was “the cool girls in the Lower East Side in the 80s, and how they loved John Waters movies, Russ Meyer movies, as well as Startrek. It was about future babes”.

The feeling of mismatched things coming together – 60s pop culture seen through the prism of the 80s – was there from the start of this show. The B-52’s Planet Claire kicked off the soundtrack, and there were nods to Deee-Lite’s Lady Miss Kier (with daisy patterns and op-art) and Tim Burton’s sci-fi spoof, Mars Attacks!

The Fashion East Three

FIFTEEN years goes fast and even more so in fashion. This September marks the 15th anniversary of Fashion East, the non-profit designer support scheme launched by Lulu Kennedy in 2000 to nurture emerging talent, and once again it will put the spotlight on three fresh fashion names: Caitlin Price, Richard Malone and This Is The Uniform.
               
Price, a graduate of Central Saint Martins' MA, returns to the showcase, having made her debut in February with a collection that riffed on luxe duchesse-satin tracksuits.
                 
Malone, meanwhile, is a new name to the line-up who graduated from the Central Saint Martins BA in 2014, scooping the LVMH Grand Prix scholarship at the same time.

And This Is The Uniform comes from the mind of Jenna Young, who launched the label in 2013 after completing a fine art textile degree at Goldsmiths University. This will be her LFW debut.

Topshop continues to be the headline sponsor of the initiative, having been so since 2003.
"All three designers are strong-minded. I'm delighted to be working with them," said Kennedy, whose fashion eye has plucked out the likes of Jonathan Saunders, Marques' Almeida, Meadham Kirchhoff and Simone Rocha to name just a handful.

Why Gel Manicures May Actually Be Worse For Your Nails

Are gel manicures better for your nails?
          
No. If anything, they can be worse. First, it’s worth noting that if you never miss a mani appointment, whether for gel or regular polish, it’s time to give your nails a break. All the filing, buffing and painting (without time for nails to “breathe” in between) causes dehydration and thinning of the nail, which can lead to peeling, even painful nails.

All this doesn’t mean you need to skip gel manicures completely. But to make them healthier, give your nails a few weeks’ break between applications, apply sunscreen to your hands before you go and don’t pick when you get home!

Health‘s medical editor, Roshini Rajapaksa, MD, is assistant professor of medicine at the NYU School of Medicine and co-founder of Tula Skincare.
Gel manicures in particular can increase the chances of damage because the removal process requires a very long soak in acetone, which further dries out nails. And if you tend to pick (especially if there’s no base coat), peeling off a gel polish can remove the top layer of your nail. This can weaken the nail and make it more prone to infection. Finally, you’ve probably heard about the skin risks of the drying process, which exposes your hands to cancer-causing UV rays.

Bride-to-be's desperate dash for a dress after shop closes down just DAYS before wedding

A bride-to-be has been left devastated after the shop where she ordered her dress closed without warning just days before the ceremony.
                  
Teacher Sian Harris, 31, splashed out £1,800 on a wedding gown and three bridesmaid dresses from Bella Rose in Ashton-under-Lyne last March.

However she began to worry after they failed to arrive and she was unable to contact anyone at the shop. And she was then stunned to find a message on the website of the boutique, on George Street in the town centre, saying it had closed down.

In a message on their website they blame their demise on the opening of a rival shop nearby.

Sian, from Chadderton, is due to fly to Cancun in Mexico to tie-the-knot with her partner of fiancée and partner of six years Jamie Brown, 28.
  And the primary school teacher now faces a desperate hunt for a set of replacement dresses before the intimate ceremony on July 21.

She is one of a number of brides believed to have been left disappointed by the shop’s shock announcement.

Sian said: “I’m just devastated. Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of your life. It takes months and dozens of shops to find the right dress and when you order you think it’s all sorted. I should be getting all the last minute things done this week like my hair and nails but instead I’m going to have try and find four new dresses from somewhere.”
                 
Sian claims she has contacted the supplier of the dresses who told her that her order wasn’t placed properly and that they wouldn’t be available until after her departure.

Lisa Faulkner’s ‘gunshot wound’ dress while talking about Tunisia shootings caused quite a stir

New This Morning host Lisa Faulkner presented an item about the Tunisia terrorist shootings whilst wearing a dress that viewers thought looked like a ‘gunshot wound’.
                  
Faulkner’s co-host, Ben Shephard, tweeted a picture before the show began, and viewers were quick to comment about the choice of outfit, given the nature of the topic they were discussing.

While the dress actually featured a big poppy design, not many were able to pick up on that, with the assumption being that it looked more like a bloody injury.

Of course, Twitter was soon a hive of activity after the dress was first seen:
  Some saw the funny side of the dress selection with one user clearly remembering how the presenter and actress had previously suffered a grisly death thanks to a deep fat fryer in Spooks.
  Other viewers were shocked, however, that Faulkner presented an item about the aftermath of the terrorist shootings in Tunisia in the dress. You’d think the stylists might have had a quick word.
  The dress actually features a big poppy design, although not many were able to pick up on that.
                

                   
Faulkner has yet to comment on the controversy. She began the day by telling her Twitter followers how excited she was about hosting the show.

Victoria Justice Doesn't Think She'll Work With Ariana Grande Again

It sounds like that rumored Victorious reunion isn't going to happen after all, since Victoria Justice doesn't think she'll work with Ariana Grande again.

Before rumors of a feud between the two stars ramp up again, check out what Victoria said about Ariana recently – and there was no shade thrown, just a perfectly reasonable explanation for why it's probably not in the cards for them to be co-stars again.

ETOnline spoke with Victoria at the recent MTV Movie Awards, where she was asked about working with Ariana again and explained: "I think we're kind of both on our own separate paths right now."

She added, "I've been more focused on acting and she's doing her singing thing and doing awesome."

Then again, Ariana is returning to acting with her upcoming role on Scream Queens...so she's not just all about the music.

Earlier this year, Victoria cleared up any rumors of a feud between herself and Ariana, but kept us guessing by what she meant when she said "There's much more to that story [Victorious getting canceled] that people don't know."

Kim and Kanye take North to Easter services with the Kardashian Klan in Calabasas

Kim, Kanye and adorable North join the rest of the Kardashian family in the exclusive suburb of Woodland Hills in Calabasas, California, just a ten minute drive from the Kardashian-West $22M US mansion in the gated community of Hidden Hills.

We can see a theme here as the famous family match outfits in white and off-white tones.
North looked angelic wearing a white-rose wreath on her head, held by an unusually conservatively-dressed Kim in a floor-length maxiskirt and knitted peplum top. Kanye wore a distressed cotton tee and tan loafers.

Kris brought along her new man, Corey Gamble, as Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie wore varying shades of skin-tight and midriff baring outfits.


Noticeably absent was Kourtney’s partner Scott Disick who is revealed to be a humble car dealer in the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as well as the Kardashian brother, Rob.
