Models with a non-standard appearance come: FWD  reflects on new formats, heroines with unique types, unshakable by any canons of conventional beauty, whose appearance pushes the limits of model standards Many of us, flipping through magazines or looking through the next show, catch themselves thinking that fashion now prioritizes a little differently. The principle “the uglier, the more beautiful” is declared almost fundamental in the new season. Fashion-obsessed people choose ugly fashion in all interpretations: starting with clothing, heralds, among others, are Gosha Rubchinsky, who celebrates the street aesthetics of the 1990s, and Demna Gvasalia, who creates collections for Balenciaga and her own brand Vetements, and ends with models. The latter will be discussed further.

Far from the world of fashion, people do not miss the opportunity, if necessary, to look through magazines with photographs of models that have a specific appearance and therefore fall outside the framework of idealized ideas about female beauty. “Yes, she’s ugly!”, “And this is a model?” – that’s just not talking about Molly Bair. “Unconventional appearance”, “atypical beauty”, “informal and unique person” – professionals select all sorts of words to describe a trend whose popularity is growing exponentially, but it seems they mean the same as people far from fashion. Sticking ears, colorful hair, diastema – the appearance of these models push the limits of model standards. All this should not detract from but remind of the beauty of the human appearance in all its diversity.

Molly Bair

In the meantime, a native of Pennsylvania has a firm gait conquering the podiums of New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Designers are very enthusiastic about her and wish that the “alien” girl (another eloquent epithet for the lop-eared owner of a broad forehead, a strange chin, and a small mouth) would appear in their advertising campaigns and even close the show (and this privilege does not come to all supermodels). Time has placed all the points above the “i” – a model with a peculiar appearance today is not just a norm, but a new trend.

And Molly Bair is not the only girl whose appearance is subject to such an active discussion. Brunette and cut to the ground Tami Glauser, the “heroine of Renaissance painting” Sierra Skye, half Mexican, half Japanese Issa Lish with an angular and androgynous appearance, Shantel Brown-Young, whose skin is stricken with vitiligo, Brunette Maffy with signs of strabismus (in other words, strabismus ) – such a variety of types can be called a real parade of accepting any flaws.

No half-hints, the meaning is very transparent: models with non-standard if not the body, then at least the person took their place in almost every show. An unequivocal discovery can be called a brutal girl with an angelic face, but sad eyes Ruth Bell. The girl in the modeling is not a beginner, but the real glory came to her after a haircut under the zero for the Lubbock Alexander McQueen. Shaving her hair, 18-year-old Ruth Bell increased her productivity in one season by the number of shows 15 times: with the “hedgehog” Ruth Bell immediately became the newsmaker of the season. She shone in Milan on the show Gucci, Lanvin, and Versace, and in Paris, she became the new muse of Edie and the face of the advertising campaign Saint Laurent. Now the models of the moment look exactly like that.

It seems that the need for such models has become so great that scouts have discovered a real hunt for unformatted, inorganic persons – excessively large lips, shaved head, a gap between teeth, wide open or deliberately small eyes. In the UK there is a model agency Anti-Agency, in which girls with non-standard appearance work. These models have successfully blended into advertising Adidas Superstar and the pages of concept magazines like Pop and iD. Serious competition to this agency is AM Casting, followed by Angus Munro, who worked at Elite with Naomi Campbell, Anya Rubik, and Claudia Schiffer. Modeling agencies seemed to smell the wind of change and collect under one roof models of all races, ages, and complexes.

So what fate awaits Molly and her co-workers with an atypical appearance? Naturally, a resounding success, because they got “in the wind”, and the number of malicious comments will decrease with time. Why? The whole answer lies in the simple truth: Hayters will simply get used to specific persons. Lindsay Wickson and Daphne Gronewald first also Keithly, but now they can no doubt be considered part of the gold fund of the model industry.

Traditionally, on June 11, the Tony Award ceremony took place in New York, and it was awarded for achievements in the field of theatrical art. In the people, it was called “Broadway Oscar”, as the most outstanding productions are put on Broadway, and the event can compete with the most prestigious awards in the field of cinema.

This year the best play was recognized as “Harry Potter and the Damned Child”, in the category “Best Musical”, The Band’s Visit won, in the nomination “Best Actor in the Play” – Andrew Garfield, and Glenda Jackson became the performer of the best female role in the play.

The red carpet attracts a special interest in any ceremony, so we propose to see what the guests of the solemn event in 2018 appeared

Italian Fashion Week loses its splendor if the Sicilian duo Dolce & Gabbana does not present its collection in its framework. Like several seasons ago, designers Domenico and Stefano continue to explore the habits and desires of a new generation – millennials. For a long time experimenting with the sporting style and weaving it into his style, the designers came to the conclusion that their young clients are not crazy at all, but from classical, well-dressed suits. It’s no wonder, in fact, to purchase a tracksuit, the millennium is unlikely to appeal to Dolce & Gabbana.

Thus, men wear luxurious three-piece brocade suits with baroque embroidery, tuxedos with ornamental patterns, summer suits made of lightweight fabrics, complemented by translucent volumetric T-shirts with perforations and others. There were religious themes and the Renaissance, which were manifested in prints. In addition to the male images, women appeared on the podium, one of which was taken up by the Italian actress 53-year-old Monica Bellucci. She wore a black classic suit with a white shirt and low heels on the hairpin. Guests were also surprised by the appearance of four old ladies on the podium, who were dressed in American-style tracksuits.

A synonym for French haute couture – Chanel is one of the biggest brands in the luxury segment. But how many companies bring the sale of clothing collections, the legendary perfume Chanel №5, and accessories, has been kept secret until now.

The other day the brand published its annual financial results for the first time in 108 years. The figures show that Chanel is one of the largest luxury brands in the world in terms of revenues, outperforming brands such as Gucci, and is keeping up with Louis Vuitton. Together with strong sales growth, the company is increasing its investment volumes.

According to the publication BoF, for the year 2017, the brand earned 9.62 billion dollars, which is 11% more than in 2016. Chanel also plans to merge its subsidiaries into one under the name Chanel Limited, headquartered in London.

Megan, the Duchess of Sussex, continues to please the public with stylish images. Last week, she went on her first solo trip with Her Majesty to Cheshire in a Givenchy gown, and this weekend attended the wedding of Celia McCorodale (cousin of Prince Harry) in a dress from Oscar de la Renta. For the opening of royal races in Ascot, the duchess chose a vintage dress-shirt also from Claire Waite Keller for Givenchy.

Obviously, Waite Keller does not cease to cooperate closely with Megan after she sewed a wedding dress for her. The new ensemble was distinguished by delicate floral embroidery, and the waistline was emphasized by a thin band. A good addition to the along was the hat from the unchanged Philip Treacy.

King of Spain Philip VI and Queen Letizia this Tuesday visited the White House. The business meeting of the first ladies of the two countries was to take place behind a tea ceremony in the garden. For the event Melania Trump chose an olive dress from Valentino with white embroidery in the form of flowers, complemented by olive boats from Manolo Blahnik. In turn, Queen Letizia gave preference to the American brand Michael Kors.

It would seem that in the outfits of the first ladies there was nothing remarkable – all by the rules, but there is one nuance. This time, Melania chose a very calm image of the most muted shades and elegant silhouette, while Queen Letizia appeared in a poisonous pink dress, tight-fitting figure, with gold accessories. This detail clearly indicates the desire to present your country in a worthy manner.

Spring has already entered into its legal rights, and very soon women of fashion will change warm coats to the light trench. We have repeatedly said that the trench, invented more than a century ago by Thomas Burberry for the military, is the main purchase of spring, the more it will never go out of style. Today, this is not just the basic subject of the wardrobe, but also the must-have season- no matter what the weather is outside the window. Masters of thread and needle, this wardrobe is still interesting, so they continue their fashion-experiments. Of course, in early spring fashionistas will have to go to various tricks so as not to freeze into such a thing (given the weather outside the window), and to put on tight tricot sweaters with a high throat, but when it gets warmer, it will be possible to give vent to fantasy and wear it with light dresses or wide trousers and a turtleneck.

The editorial staff of FW-Daily chose 7 models for different tastes and colors so that each fashionista would look after one or even several really valuable copies.

If you already have a classic one, then boldly buy one more, but not simple, but from an unusual material or deconstructive cut. We found a very handsome  Alexander McQueen. Difficult, timed, two-factor, with a long belt and deep pockets.

If you want to be not just in a trend, but look British in style, it’s worth adding a little tartan to the wardrobe. The easiest way to make friends with the classics is to have a trench coat made of wool, which is a sample of good taste, and the figure itself is the official tartan of Queen Elizabeth II.

For sure you can not wait to dress in the colors of spring greens and get lost among the forest landscapes. Protective colors flit in the collections of famous fashion houses for several years in a row and rightly can be considered a spring classic because they can be seen not only on the usual trousers and parks but also on dresses and haute couture.

To the brilliant patent leather did not remain indifferent neither fashion brands nor fashionistas. For spring images, the white trench coat is perfect for half a year – in spring you want to start everything from scratch. This trench is to be worn paired with jeans, laconic shirt and sneakers or at all to throw on a naked body. In either case, the material will make the image interesting and slightly more extravagant.

A win-win option for those girls who face the inverted dressing room and puzzle over the question of “what to wear?”. This universal trench covers all issues with its conciseness and versatility. With such a valuable copy in the wardrobe, you do not have to puzzle over what to wear and combine with.

In each wardrobe, there should be a version of outerwear for a special occasion. With whatever you put on a trench coat of rich emerald color, you always get an image worthy of admiration. Not only is this thing practical, it will also become an exquisite addition to the evening image.

Cutouts and cuts

Raf Simons, apparently, can not do without experiments, so I sewed at first glance a classic trench, but on closer examination not devoid of interspersing deconstructionism. Sections at the seams at the bottom of the sleeve automatically attract attention and make the image unusual, especially if you wear such a thing with vinyl trousers and coarse boots.

At the height of summer, I would like to dress up in chiffon light dresses, tops, T-shirts, shorts and complement the summer image with wicker accessories. Why not? So that you were ready for the evening walk, rest on the beach and dinner on the veranda, FWD gathered 25 summer things, without which you can not do this summer.

Among the main purchases, of course, is a swimsuit. Today, you can safely go to the beach and office, adding a skirt or trousers with an inflated waistline. If there is a most versatile summer thing, then this is certainly a jumpsuit. It’s simple: if you have such a thing, you do not have to long to guess over the creation of the kit and this is absolutely uncompromising in the choice of shoe option. Also, be sure to include wicker accessories in your wish list. With them, you can go to the office, and then look at the beach party, and in both cases, it will be beautiful and appropriate. In our collection also decorations in the form of cockleshells, air dresses, shorts and other strategic investments in the season.

Today in Paris the debut show of the new creative director of the male line Louis Vuitton Virgil Ablo took place. The collection was developed for three months. The organizers decided to arrange the venue for the show in large scale, constructing a long catwalk in the rainbow coloring and planting team members and guests in accordance with the color of the gradient. In the first row were the best friends of Virgil: Kylie Jenner, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, whom the designer with tears in his eyes hugged at the final show.

The beginning of the show marked several white bows that were painted in different tones when the models passed under a spotlight of a certain color. After them the guests saw several monochrome images, originality was given to such interesting materials as plastic, wool, and leather, prints in the form of natural landscapes, as well as a harmonious game with shades. The new chapter for the men’s line Louis Vuitton Virgil announced thanks to the prevailing street style.

“This is the highest form of dressing, but for men. I hope that this collection will give rise to a new sensuality and sexuality in fashion, “said creative director Maison Margiela John Galliano in a recent podcast. The designer told about the sewing techniques and why he raised the Artisanal collection for men to the level of haute couture. It is reported that the changes influenced the ball, Met Gala.

Watching the new generation and their interpretation of the dress code, Galliano changes the strategy, introducing the extreme disco style of the 80s and masculine sexuality. Throughout the collection, a red thread goes through masculinity, based on the typology of British tailoring and the richness of decorative elements, which is commonly used in sewing women’s haute couture models. The designer is experimenting with forms, honoring the tradition of inventive Martin Margel, whose skill consisted not only of revolutionary ideas but also in the filigree of cut.

The SS’19 line can rightly be called a picket piece of Galliano’s experiments, obtained throughout his career: he transfers feminine silhouettes from Dior, audacity, and courage – from the same name John Galliano, and the vanguard from the current place of work, Maison Margiela.
