Below are some top stories from this month particularly this week associated with the fashion world.

2. Alexander McQueen to release fragrance

Calling all Alexander McQueen fans! For all those who adore the McQueen fashion house and cannot afford the wealthy items or for those who can afford it well there is great news for all as it has been confirmed that the British fashion house has signed a licensing deal with P&G Prestige to launch a fragrance for both men and women. There is no release date for the new scent yet but work is stated to begin immediately. Creative Director, Sarah Burton stated after announcing the deal  ‘Creating a fragrance feels like a natural progression as it enhances the world of Alexander McQueen, I’m very excited by this opportunity to collaborate with P&G Prestige, to work together to create a scent that captures the unique sensibility of the house.’ How exciting!! So who will be joining me in queuing up for the new fragrance once released!?

3.Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana found guilty of tax evasion

And the last piece of news today is the news of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the founders of fashion house Dolce and Gabbana who today were found guilty of tax evasion and have each been sentenced to one year and eight months in prison. The lawsuit links to the house’s 2004 sale of its D&G lines to Luxembourg-based holding company Gado Srl which Italian authorities believe was a way of evading Italy’s high taxes that are charges that the designers have strongly denied. However designers are expected to appeal against the decision.

There was a lot of winners but still a lot of sinners. So lets stay positive first here is my favorite 3 looks of the night.  What do you think ?

My first favorite is Jessica Chastain wearing Alexander McQueen. I love this dress ! Its so beautifully designed with its gold hand-embroidered bodice and design. One of the things i love the most about this look is that i think the black and gold colours of the dress go perfect with her red hair its just amazing. The attention of this look is obviously on the very detailed dress so Jessica has kept the accessories to a minimum with simple bangles and drop earrings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another one of my favorites is Michelle Williams wearing Louis Vuitton. I just love Michelle Williams she dresses so ladylike but with a modern twist which suits her so well. This coral-red gown has a peplum waist with a red band and silver bow giving it that cute side. It also has a lovely ruffling skirt which is just beautiful. Her hair and makeup has been done so neat and simple but perfect for the dress. She has also kept to a simple silver chain necklace and pink clutch to add more to the look but it is keeping it just right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Finally last but not least is Milla Jovovich wearing Elie Saab. 2 words : Hollywood Glamour , This is glamorous; Perfect sweeped back brunette hair, red lipstick , silver jewelery and a simple but stunning white gown. I don’t even know what to say its just gorgeous.

Kate’s Dress Revealed

After months of speculation of who was going to be designing Kate Middleton’s Wedding dress it was finally revealed that it was indeed Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The dress which had a high waisted full skirt with lace top looked absolutely amazing on her i have to admit ! It wasn’t something i would pick for myself but it was just simply stunning on her and it was nearly identical to Grace Kelly’s(below) wedding dress when she got married back in 1956 to the Prince of Monaco. I am very glad that it was Alexander McQueen as this is a great tribute to him and i am sure he would have loved it. What do you think ?

P.S More Royal Wedding Fashion to come!
