I'm in love with this infographic <a href="http://www.farfetch.com/uk/" target="_blank">Farfetch</a> have just sent across. The infographic gives us a snapshot of runway fashion from all around the world! The formation of the piece has been beautifully put together with candy popping colours and wild dynamic textures which amalgamate into a visually captivating piece that's educational and relevant to the fashion industry today.<br />
<br />
Focusing on the fashion each of the capitals this infographic explores the top designers of each fashion city while giving a nod to those up-coming fashion designer delights that are worthy of our undivided attention forever more.<br />
<br />
If the designer runway looks weren't enough for you to keep gawking at, get lost in the text which delves into the style and looks for each fashion city, sparking inspiration for you and I to make educated wardrobe purchases to represent our personal style.<br />

International super blogger, Kristina Bazan AKA Kayture took to the streets of London this season in a show stopping outfit on LFW day 4. The influencer wore a head to toe Versace outfit consisting of a black crop top and black culottes. It was the accessories that stole the show though, a killer statement jacket with Versace’s infamous logo printed all over it, along with cut-out killer boots and a colourful red handbag. Kristina definitely lived up to her fashionista status in this show-stopper.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">This stylish fashionista kicked off the spring/summer shows at LFW in a bold and colourful ensemble. The bright green collared shirt paired nicely tucked into her extreme burgundy flares, the colour of the season. The trousers were most certainly the focal point of this outfit and she wisely pulled her hair back, making sure not to create any distractions. The tortoise shell cat-eyed sunglasses add the finishing touch to this bold 70’s getup.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Critically acclaimed fashion blogger Ella Catliff AKA La Petite Anglaise showed she’s not afraid of bold colours or patterns when she attended LFW this season. The youthful blogger tackled colour by wearing a head to toe tartan outfit, not one for the faint hearted. A tartan midi dress, paired with an oversized tartan coat and of course a tartan handbag to complete the look. Only Ella could pull of this daring look so hats off to her!</span></div>

Leandra Medine, infamous for being known for repelling men
with her style, surprisingly took on a very feminie look this season at New
York Fashion Week. The blogger wore a sleeveless mini dress embellished with
multicolour stars with a colourful shirt tied around her waist to dress down
the look of course. The star of this outfit goes to her limited edition Louis
Vuitton Twisted box handbag which was released in the autumn/winter 2014 collection
and is most certainly a prized luxury item to own.</div>

We love the laid-back hipster vibes these two beauties are
giving off at fashion week. Everything from the statement dreadlocks to the
statement eyebrows. If you want to know how to rock the 70’s look, then take
inspiration from these fashionistas. The leather fringed skirt pairs perfectly
with the striped crop top and the high-waisted trousers over the skin-tight
bodysuit is perfect. Hats off to these ladies!</div>

There’s no escaping the blogesphere in today’s society.
Whatever you want, whatever you’re looking for can usually be located on a
blog. Whether it’s food, cars, fashion, beauty, fitness etc blogs seems to be
dominating the world. Of course blogging is still a relatively new industry so
many people are still unaware what it exactly involves, especially the older
generation. It’s now seen as the new career choice for the younger generation
to aspire too or is it just an easy cop out, out of the 9-5 grind?<o:p></o:p></div>

Celebrity endorsements have always been a traditional form
of brand marketing. Brands are eager to hire a celebrity spokesperson, whenever
a brand has a new product or service to promote. The most popular types are for
c</div>
lothing and fragrances ranging from TV adverts, PR events or even as simple as
using their name. One of the most memorable and successful celebrity
endorsement was Britney Spears for Pepsi. Back in 2011 Britney earned 8 million
dollars for promoting the popular beverage, which included a series of highly
coveted TV adverts airing during major sporting events to rake in extra sales.<br />

Today’s influencers, AKA bloggers and youtubers are
extremely sought after by hundreds of brands worldwide, why? Because the public
can relate to them and they’re considered as <i>real</i> people. The online community has evolved in leaps and bounds
over the past decade and people are now realising how to use the internet to
their advantage. A simple past time such as creating an online style diary or a
‘how to’ youtube video has now turned into multimillion dollar business for
many young men and women worldwide. Brands have learnt that not only will their
conversion/revenue be higher by advertising through online influencers but
they’re also more cost effective too. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
From Cara Delevingne to Olivia Palermo, famous style icons stared in street style shots sporting last winter's must-have item: the Burberry plaid, monogrammed poncho. The piece made its début on the brand's fall 2014 runway and quickly became a favourite among celebrities, bloggers and fashionistas alike, <a href="http://fashionista.com/2015/01/burberry-monogrammed-poncho">spiking Burberry sales in the following months</a>.<br />
<br />
Aiming to get the best out of the customization trend, the British brand announced last week the launch of an on-line and in stores "<a href="https://uk.burberry.com/womens-scarves/all-scarves/">Scarf Bar</a>". The platform allows shoppers to design a classic cashmere scarf, completely personalized to their own specifications, choosing between more than 30 colorways and 30 shades of thread for embroidering initials. <br />
<br />
Investing in customization is not news for the company, that just last month quietly closed Burberry Bespoke, a service for creating your own luxury trench coat (with up to 12 million combinations). The Burberry Scarf Bar, a simpler service, reflects a recalibration of the company’s approach to personalisation. <br />
<br />
It's easy to guess that monogrammed scarves and ponchos will do well, especially as we approach the Christmas Season, but the tanking of Burberry Bespoke raises questions about the future of customization in Fashion - is it the way forward? Or do costumers shy away from too many choices, as suggested by Barry Schwartz in his famous TED talk <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice?language=en">The Paradox of Choice</a>? <br />
<br />
It is now common place for companies to tailor products to the individual needs of customers (from the average Subway sandwich to luxury cars), but the trend is yet to take off in fashion, particularly at the high end market. Like Burberry Bespoke, a mass customisation platform for designer fashion called Tinker Tailor, launched by Moda Operandi founder Aslaug Magnusdottir, shut its door after less than a year in business. <br />

</tbody></table>
One of the obstacles for mass customization in fashion is the difficulty in operationalise the process. In a seasonal market in which consumers increasingly demand products straight from the runways, people might not be willing to wait the extra time for products custom built from scratch.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Other challenges include the loss or sacrifice of economies of scale, creating customization interfaces that are easy to use and also enjoyable, and avoiding the clash between what the consumer want and the brand or designer's specific views. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One way or another, I am definitely excited to see what awaits us in the future. </div>

American sweetheart turned wild child Destiny Hope AKA Miley
Cyrus stunned fans on Sunday evening when she hosted the 32nd MTV Video Music
Awards. She paraded around on stage in skimpy, outrageous costumes in front of
millions of viewers worldwide. Of course Miley is no stranger when it comes to
controversy as she caused a scandal back in 2013 performing at the VMA’s with
Robin Thicke and infamously <i>‘twerking’</i> on the musician. So <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">undoubtedly</span> we were expecting some

sure if Miley is simply unaware what time of the year it is or she just loves
Christmas so much that she embraces the festive season all year long. Whichever

<b>Cut-out Pompom Dress<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Possibly one of Miley’s most daring outfits of the entire
evening! (although she had so many, so we’ll let you be the judge of that). A
minuscule grey cut-out dress lined with white pompoms around the edge. The
cut-outs reveliled an extreme amount of skin in all the wrong places. Showing
off your bikini tan line on your bottom? Not a great look! Clearly no underwear
was worn for this outfit, which left very little to the imagination. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Versace Nipple Covers<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite the raunchy nature of this all pink ensemble, we’ll
give Miley credit for this creatively designed outfit. Her barely there bra,
which resembles something that fell out of Christian Grey’s wardrobe has
Versace logos placed on each cup to cover her nipples. The rest of the outfit
is fairly moderate for Miley, a pair of pink straight legged trousers and pink
glitter eye mask to complete this girly look.<o:p></o:p></div>

Another racy outfit of the evening, although this time she
looks like she’s fallen out of a spaceship. With sky high over the knee
metallic boots, another strappy bondage appropriate outfit with metallic belts
covering each boob and a dazzling collection of jewels on her lower half barely
covering her modesty. Furthermore all the extra silver details (earrings, hair clips) adds to the madness of this outfit. Someone call ET and
tell him Miley is on her way. </div>

Let’s rewind back to the 1990’s when everyone wanted to be
the next big supermodel to take the world by storm. Leading the way were now
icons – Kate Moss, Niomi Campbell, Claudia
Schiffer and Cindy Crawford to name a few. They were the first generation of
supermodels, leading successful advertising campaigns and making what the
industry is today. However with the invention of social media and reality
television are the new generation of supermodels even more powerful than the
original? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Major corporate
brands are no longer focused on only revenue and market share but more so on
increasing their online presence and connecting with a younger audience. We’ve
listed a few of our favourite new supermodels currently making a huge impact in
fashion.<o:p></o:p></div>

tender age of 11. Her entire childhood/adulthood has been documented on the hit
reality series ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ which has helped her establish
her profile and launch her modelling career. Her career began at 14 when she
was signed to Wilamenhia models and slowly began gaining more exposure in the
industry. Her big break came in 2014 when she landed all 4 fashion weeks and
walked for multiple designers such as Diane Von Furstenburg in New York, Fendi
in Milan, Topshop in London and Chanel in Paris. With over 35.5 million
followers on Instagram and 12.2 million followers on Twitter, Kendall’s
definitely a force to be reckoned with.</div>

Emerging supermodel Gigi Hadid began her modelling career
aged 2 modelling for Baby Guess. She led a model free life in L.A. afterwards
to pursue her studies until finally moving to New York in 2013 to focus on her
modelling career. Her career has gone from strength to strength ever since,
gracing the cover of Vogue magazines worldwide, made her New York fashion week
debut and has starred in several music videos. Her profile has certainly been
boosted making alliances with the Kardashian clan as she’s often seen out and

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: normal; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">Today,
the 21<sup>st</sup> August, John Green’s highly anticipated second bestselling novel
<i>Paper Towns</i> will arrive in UK cinemas. Admittedly, the anticipation surrounding
the release of John Green’s second novel to make it to the big screen is only
partly due to his first novel, The Fault in Our Stars, being so well received.
A lot of the buzz in the air this time round is thanks to the casting of the
much adored British model, Cara Delevigne 23.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With
previous minor appearances in a number of other films, this is not Cara’s
acting debut. Nor is she the first model to make the transition from runway
model to on screen actor. In fact, models have been flitting in between the two
mediums for years and doing so ever so successfully. It brings testament to the
fact that beauty really can open doors. Of course, aside from opening doors,
what models can also bring to the table is the hype, something which most
actors in the early stages of their careers can’t.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">

too dissimilar looking to Rosie HW but unlike the aforementioned
models, Cameron Diaz is better known for her acting career as opposed to her modelling
career. This is probably because she only spent four short years modelling, from
the age of 17 -21, before she made her transition to the big screen. Her early
career consists of movies such as <i>Something About Mary</i>, <i>My Best Friend’s
Wedding</i> and her film debut<i> The Mask</i></span>.<br />

supermodel told the producers, she would only agree to be in the film if she
didn’t have to play a model. </span>So
she played Serena…an employee of Runway magazine!<br />

The misconception attached to men and their shopping habits,
particularly surrounding the reluctance when accompanying wives or girlfriends on
trips to the shops is finally beginning to fade. In fact it’s surprising that
the urban legend, stigma or call it what you will that is associated with men
and their less than enthusiastic willingness to shop has lasted as long as it
has. The modern man not only puts up with shopping as a means to attempt to remain ‘cool’, he embraces it, following fashion more than likely
through a handful of social channels and continually looking for ways to shape
his style by keeping on top of the latest trends and goings on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

been growing in prominence for years, and we now have an abundance of fashion
conscious men in the spot light, it seems like every other month there is a new
style ambassador for men’s fashion from the biggest in the game growing in
popularity to new kids on the block appearing in the front row of fashion shows
for the first time. This popularity has meant a trickle down effect into the
wider public that has been taking place for for some time. Not only this but as well as being more self-aware of their of their
image men now have a larger interest in the fashion industry as whole and designer
brands in general.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is all pretty obvious to anyone who has done any sort
of shopping in any major city or online in the last 10 years. The ways in which
men can shop is transforming and you don’t
need us to reel off any market research to show why or what sort of
demographics it effects most, instead we want to focus on the future and look
at what can be expected to change now men no longer need to hide their
shopping pleasures. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<b>Not a Complete Shift
to Online </b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We need no reminding of the ways in which we are all more connected then
ever before, whether commuting, at work, out with friends or just relaxing at
home stylish men are now shifting through collections, look books and new
arrivals at all times. This is reflected in the huge power of online shopping and
it’s really not surprising why this is the case, from beating the crowds to
just the sheer amount of choice available. However this doesn't mean young men will
completely desert the store based shopping visit. London is the perfect example
of this, taking the lead in menswear styles with some of the best shopping
streets in the world from Dover Street to Redchurch Street and whether these will
retain their prominence will have to be seen but with changing trends you can
count of different parts of London becoming popular and different menswear hubs
popping up to compliment the growth of online shopping.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<b>Feeding the
Individual </b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As already mentioned the growth of online shopping has given
shoppers unprecedented choice when it comes to men’s clothing but this doesn’t
only mean new and more stock to choose from but the ability to shop designers
and labels from around the world, allowing men to become even more personal when
it comes to their sense of style. No
longer are men restricted from shopping at chain retailers with new arrivals
that may not fit their style and lines that are available to a huge consumer base,
instead the modern man can shop for individual pieces whenever they are and
from wherever they like.<br />

with the emergence and thriving of LCM on the world wide fashion calendar as well as the first

<span style="text-align: justify;">This is a season to get massively excited about. Minimalism, refined, sport luxe, you will find no trace of in this season’s a/w 15-16 collections. The trends of the coming season are glamorous, opulent, rich and almost a little bit excessive, but of course beautiful. Wonderfully, it would appear that designers have gone back to their roots, designing spectacular garments for no other sake than for fashion’s sake. Forget the bloggers, social media, street style and functionality, thank god, this season’s trends will be well received among women that love to be dressed and draped in exquisite garments.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing seems quite
simple with the myriad of styles, colours, prints, patterns, silhouettes and
moods that have been conjured up within the collections. Second skin boots in
purple and shiny vinyl looking and god knows how high they rise at Dior are
statement making. An eighties revival dominates party wear, almost with perfect
timing for the Christmas season, with prom dresses and rara dresses, cinched in
at the waist, in metallic hues at the likes of Oscar De La Renta and Balmain. </div>

And speaking of cinched in waists, it is once again time for
women to tighten their belts and show off their waists. A cumber band like belt wrapped its way
around a pretty pink tunic dress on the Marni runway. At Celine and Donna Karen
bright white fur embellished voluminous coats are pulled in at the waists and
belted tops, dresses, skirts, you name it, emphasise the waistline with a whole
array of belt styles.</div>

Short and neat mod skirts and dresses in pastel pink shades

tassels and shimmering sequins at Balmain and Nina Ricci and printed and

have played fashion pick ‘n’ mix, pairing sumptuous fabrics, foiled like

Appointed in 2012 as the replacement for Nicolas Ghesquière who had held the role for 15 years, Wang divided opinion from the start with some onlookers questioning whether a designer with a youth-oriented, street inspired approach was the right fit for the French brand. Although we wouldn’t agree that the three year tenure has been a failure with the upcoming SS16 collection set to be Wang’s last it is obvious something hasn’t quite clicked in place, that spark that seemed to remain missing prevented the American designer from implementing his DNA on Balenciaga in a way that many would have hoped for. <br /><br />
The main reason behind the split is most probably the continued success of Wang’s eponymous label. At the age of just 31 and with his own namesake business celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and reportedly already doing more than $100 million in sales it is expected the designer will use the 12 weeks out of the year currently spent in Paris working on Balenciaga to fully focus on his own brand.<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirk23-hqrUPEbFlmQLtoJVEAguYq_XjYWXy7W5wTu4s5YyxDZ_oyKaBgB1V0TgmOtRKcxngmKk3AmKEISQa6XCOYTihIFpTHJNzAYlCD2utU_g8C0Q5n_-Hm5gFMGmNM6Hxflpvqv3CLQT/s1600/34061a1cd89112d4569fab42767a2d76.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirk23-hqrUPEbFlmQLtoJVEAguYq_XjYWXy7W5wTu4s5YyxDZ_oyKaBgB1V0TgmOtRKcxngmKk3AmKEISQa6XCOYTihIFpTHJNzAYlCD2utU_g8C0Q5n_-Hm5gFMGmNM6Hxflpvqv3CLQT/s320/34061a1cd89112d4569fab42767a2d76.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
In the same week as he officially announced his departure from his creative director duties when his contract expires Wang opened a store in Mayfair, London which will be his largest flagship store to date signalling his intent to take the brand to the next level. This was backed by news that the young designer was in negotiations with New York based equity firm General Atlantic with further investment sure to help accelerate the brands growth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the other side of the coin, at Balenciaga it was obviously felt that it was right for someone else to lead the creative direction of the brand during the landmark years approaching. After the successful appointment of relative unknown Alessandro Michele at Gucci and the immediate success he has had in rejuvenating the Italian brand it wouldn’t be a surprised if Kering went for the same tactic with the French powerhouse either. </div>

Time will tell but this could work out well for all parties involved with Wang fans now knowing his attention is focused solely on his own brand can look forward to great pieces season after season with even bigger reach, if the H&M collaboration is anything to go by the mass following is definitely already there, while fashion fans in general can look on with excitement at the appointment of Balenciaga’s new creative director with Kering’s choice of designers at Gucci and Saint Laurent in the form of Alessandro Michele and Hedi Slimane combing to cause buzzes beyond expectation and there’s no reason it can’t be the same for the new designer chosen to take the reins at Balenciaga either. <br />

Fashion influencers have already changed, gone are the days
when style was pushed exclusively by one or two fashion forward film stars or
TV personalities. These types of stars still feature at the front rows of
fashion shows and within style insider guides of course but they are now joined
by a younger and internet inspired crowd. Fashion bloggers still continue to
rise in numbers and statue within the fashion world while Instagram changed the
game again, allowing fashion conscious users to post outfit inspiration in a
way that was engaging for all kinds of followers without having to create
unique content.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This type of bite-sized fashion works perfectly, giving
bloggers, vloggers and Instagram influencers the chance to offer fashion snap shots that a
mobile user can like in a split second on their smart phone weather at home
or on the run. Those in the public eye soon caught up, using both Twitter and
Instagram to their advantage as well and this all led to a generation of
internet users with more say than ever, either to push their own style or to have
a view on the influencers they find most inspiring. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The life time of a model within the fashion world has never
been long, over 30 is almost retirement age and a number of well-known faces
were discovered very young from Kate Moss at the age of 14 being
found at JFK airport to Willow Smith recently being named the new face of Marc
Jacobs at the same age. That leaves the likes of Cara Delevingne and Barbara
Palvin as almost old hats within the model-sphere, still hugely influential and
sought after by the biggest fashion houses but now accompanied with other
influencers who are the age they both were when they started out, all of who
are jostling to really strike out themselves and who we will take a quick look
at now as fashions new influencers: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Chiara Ferragni</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">

particularly the platform it has given to influencers we thought it a good idea
to kick ourselves off with Chiara Ferragni, blogger over at the established
fashion site <a href="http://www.theblondesalad.com/" target="_blank">The Blonde Salad</a>. Part of some of the very first online fashion
communities, 28 year old Chiara launched The Blonde Salad back in 2009 and even
mentions herself that today it is far more than just a blog, collaborating with
major brands both online and off Chiara is also now the creative director of
her own shoe line demonstrating the fashion influence she has created herself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Zoe Sugg</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">

probably the best example of how effective social and blogging channels can be
when it comes to building an influence. After starting
her blog in the same year as Chiara Ferragni, 2009 her beauty and fashion posts
gained momentum which led to the launch of her own YouTube channel by the same
name which really set her apart and expanded her voice. Her YouTube channel now
has over 8.5 Million subscribers and her reach on other social channels is just
as large with just over 5 million Instagram followers, over 2 million Facebook
fans and almost 3.5 Million Twitter fans Zoe’s audience across these
platforms has helped build the huge influence she now has within the digital
fashion world.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Kanye West</b></h3>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok bear with us on this one, at the age of 38 and as the
only male to make the top 3 Kanye was a big shout but if one thing is true it’s
that Mr West definitely influences and his foray into fashion is sure to have
an impact whether on the scale he wants it to be will just have to be seen. Not a
huge user of social media (leaving that to his wife) Kanye also bucks the trend
in that sense as well but shows that influence doesn't purely come down to
Instagram followers or Twitter retweets. Where the other influencers in this list
are either advocates of or grew their whole following through these touch
points Kanye gained influence through music and is now channelling his creative
energies into fashion. Having already worked with A.P.C., Louis Vuitton and
Nike in the past his current collaboration with Adidas is still in season 1 and
the direction he heads could be interesting to follow particularly as Kanye has
been openly honest about his own fashion influences from Vanessa Beecroft, Margiela
and Helmut Lang. Watch this space. </div>

You’ve probably all noticed a sneaky little ghost popping up
everywhere over the past few years, well that’s the face of the fasted growing
social media application of 2014 – <b><i>Snapchat</i></b>. Like it or not you simply
cannot escape from social media anymore and Snapchat is the latest offering
that is being raved about worldwide. Unlike its competitors it’s intentions
isn't to glamourize your lifestyle or look sexy or beautiful, but more so about communicating
the real you without the stress of knowing it has a permanent shelf life.
That’s what makes this application so unique, within a matter of 10 seconds or
24 hours (depending on what you chose) your content is deleted for good, making
it more carefree and appealing to users.</div>

Created by three Stanford University students back in April
2007 as an idea for a class project. The group decided to develop the idea
further under the name ‘Picaboo’ and finally launched it in June 2011, although
it was later re-branded and relaunched as Snapchat in September 2011. Ever since, the application has experienced rapid growth
year on year. In November 2012 over one billion photos had been shared on the
app equating to an incredible 20 million photos being shared every day. This figure
soon increased by 400 million photos per day by November 2013, rising again to
700 million photos per day by May 2014.</div>

So I know what you all must be thinking, how on earth did this
technology grow so fast and what makes it so special? First of all today’s
society and generation is becoming more visual and engaging hence Twitter’s
recent decline in growth and Instagram’s strong incline. Users want to share
engaging photos and videos with family and friends and with significant
advances in mobile technology it allows us to do this more easily. Secondly,
Snapchat’s main demographic is aged between 13 -23, young audiences generally
tend to be easily influenced and always keen to get hands on with the latest
emerging technologies. Thirdly, the app is heavily utilised by celebrities and
key influencers worldwide aka free marketing for the app. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The app is a favourite amongst numerous celebrities and
social media influencers worldwide, which is definitely a key factor of the
app’s rapid growth throughout the years. Celebrities such as Kylie Jenner (part
of the giant Kardashian brand) is an avid user of Snapchat and has expressed
her love of the app many times, constantly sharing controversial snaps with her
millions of followers. Social media influencers have also heavily impacted the
app’s growth with successful bloggers and youtubers such as Chiara Ferragni and Zoella regularly
posting snaps, encouraging their followers to download the app and
follow their journey.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the reasons why the app has been so well received by
the blogging community is due to the ability to express their true
personalities through mini vlogs and give their followers a true insight into
their lives. The app is also a lot less time consuming in comparison to other
social platforms such as YouTube or Instagram.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Negativity <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like every new craze, there has been slight negativity and controversy
surrounding the new app. Due to the functionality (deleting content within a
time-frame), it has been predominately associated with sharing sensitive content
including sexual content, which was a huge concern as it has such a young fan
base. However a recent study in 2014 discovered 60% of Snapchat users actually
use the app for comedic purposes (pulling funny faces, telling jokes etc). It showed
that users find the app fun and a great way to pass time. <o:p></o:p></div>

So with new emerging technologies on the rise every day, contemporary
advances and innovations in information technology means we’ll be seeing a lot
more visual and engaging applications. Hats off to Snapchat for establishing
their platform in such a saturated market. It looks like ghostface chillah (the mascot) is

Bertrand Guyon made his debut at the Schiaparelli Couture
Fall/Winter 2015-16 runway show and what a grand entrance it was. Albeit the mood was sombre and the setting
non-descript, the clothes that were strutted and glided, marched and floated down this runway most certainly were not. Because strut, glide or float, you
could have done each and any of these walks in the myriad of styles and personalities that made
up this collection.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first model emerged powerful and almost regal looking in a black short sleeve jacket showered in gold rhinestones with a mao neck, and a long sleeve top with shimmering black arms peering out from beneath the jacket pieced together with a pair of tailored black tapered trousers. It was power dressing in its most demure yet decorative form. However, power dressing did not set the tone for the rest of what was to emerge onto the runway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://media.style.com/image/fashion-shows/fall-2015-couture/paris/schiaparelli/collection/1366/2048/KIM_0356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://media.style.com/image/fashion-shows/fall-2015-couture/paris/schiaparelli/collection/1366/2048/KIM_0356.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a>From brilliant cerise pink chiffon to ink black velvet evening
gowns, matching sets in jade green and gold and pink and gold brocade and an
indulgent floor length taupe fur coat embellished with a pink black and yellow
pattern with bursts of long haired powder pink fur spraying from the coat made this collection more unpredictable than
imaginable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The collection, albeit always luxurious, had a grown up, sometimes androgynous feel to it, with oversized coats and tailored trouser suits all in opulent fabrics. Then it was regal, heavenly and offered the sense of a higher being, with a white floor length toga and gold column dresses that appeared to be inspired by the Grecian goddesses. Decorative crown like gold pieces worn atop the models’ heads referenced royalty, as did the endless amounts of rich looking gold brocade worn head to toe. And that pale pink sheer dress with cascading flowers tumbling down the dress vine like was so heavenly its gate could easily have been depicting those to the Garden of Eden.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Finally it was artistic and reminiscent of the house itself with
homage paid to those that had collaborated with Elsa herself, fashion
illustrator and costume designer Marcel Vertes and Bebe Berard. An illustrated
picture featured at the skirt of a commanding white dress that was not only striking
for its imagery, but for its silhouette that was small in the waist with
brilliant emphasised hips. Covering a floor
length pastel pink dress with a plunging neckline and tie waist with an
illustrated face motif or emblazoning Schiap’s face front and centre of a furry
midi skirt seemed like the most natural thing to do and, indeed, it worked.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Alongside Gimabattista Valli’s billowing and breathtaking Couture Fall 2015-16 show, Schiaparelli is arguably one of the best shows of the season. Couture doesn’t have to be affordable, functional nor even typically beautiful, it’s about showing off a houses craftsmanship and its artistry. Bertand Guyon ticked all the boxes but one – Couture will never be affordable, at least not reasonably so.</div>

French and Italian designers have recently taken over the
runways at Haute Couture Fashion Week showcasing all things couture. The one
week of the year where all the best high-end fashion is celebrated all over the
world. Much like the regular fashion weeks, the runway pieces are luxurious, lust
worthy but most of all pricey! So we have gathered the best looks from Couture
week 2015 and showing affordable alternatives.<o:p></o:p></div>

One of the stand out trends seen on the Haute Couture
catwalks in Paris this year comes in the form of wearable art. Models were seen
at Viktor and Rolf dressed head to toe in canvas style clothing, gliding down the
catwalk draped in art. Looks like the designers were on a mission to prove that
art and fashion go hand in hand. If you’re looking to wear something a little
more creative this season we suggest these colourful art print dresses from <a href="http://www.shein.com/Multicolor-Sleeveless-Graffiti-Print-Flare-Short-Dress-p-163503-cat-1727.html?url_from=ukpladress14031613&gclid=Cj0KEQjw2v2sBRCazKGu3tSFz64BEiQAKIE1hqq7N67VwOjKtfimfQVKG55-9h2iHfqYBdlKPzHWL1waAsxi8P8HAQ" target="_blank">She In</a> and <a href="http://www.karenmillen.com///fcp-product/103DV32139?gclid=Cj0KEQjw2v2sBRCazKGu3tSFz64BEiQAKIE1hm9tD3ZlViHQd9nPjkFxeep72dXgsLOWgONZMy8rquoaAqPt8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds&lng=&ctry=GB" target="_blank">Karen Millen</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With menswear collections for SS16 having been and gone at
LCM, Pitti, Milan and Paris we now have some sort of idea of what to expect for
mens clothing for the summer months next year, that means no only can you start to plan ahead and be ahead of the curve and maybe even work
some looks into your wardrobe a year early. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">With such a contrast in style and approaches across the
aforementioned collections, rather than try to dive in and round up each individually
we have decided to pick out a number of looks and brands/designers to keep an
eye out for when you come to updating your summer wardrobe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<h3>
<b><span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Wider-leg
Trousers<o:p></o:p></span></b></h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">After what seems like an awfully long time of skinny jeans
and tailored strides the trend may once again be leaning towards wider-leg
trousers with the look appearing throughout a number of designer shows over the
last month or so in preparation for SS16. This is a shift that has been longly anticipated but its prominence, particularly in London suggests we could
be close to the public finally embracing the style once again. Some
looks were taken a lot further than others, some going far and wide with
full blown flares while other designers sat trousers slightly over footwear and
how far you take your trousers will have to go down to your personal taste. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Again another trend that has been on the radar for a while, oriental
inspired florals featured in a number of looks from a range of fashion houses,
including Alexander McQueen and Astrid Andersen who embraced the style with a
number of looks. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This one isn’t just a particular trend but a whole brand to
look out, or more specifically their new creative director Alessandro Michele. After
reportedly only having a week to prepare his first menswear collection after taking
over as Gucci’s Creative Director in January of this year, for
Milan Michele had a little longer to prepare and he definitely made the most of
his time. Leading somewhat of a revolution at the design giant, the cool and
fearless approach is more than worth keeping an eye on and some of the looks
you literally cannot frankly miss. There was a spectrum of materials
and looks throughout, with floral suits flowing seamlessly next to straight
suede jackets. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Taking a look ahead
and trying to predict what way fashion will indeed take is always a risky
business but with a number of collections pointing in similar directions you
can sometimes connect the dots and pin point what looks and designers will take
the leap from runway to popular appeal. This guide is just the start in our
series of doing exactly that and we hope this glance ahead to menswear for SS16
will prompt some wardrobe addition ideas a little ahead of time.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Wearable Tech is now very much a buzz term in the
world of fashion. Earlier this year saw the drop of the long awaited Apple
Watch as the smart watch market finally began to grow in a way many have
predicted for years yet in terms of the increasing overlap between technology
and fashion watches are on the very peripheral. More excitement seems to
surround other potential tech developments with a number of large brands trialling
the use of tech within fabric and this excitement took another step up last
week with the announcement from another technology giant that could point to
the real future of fashion and the role technology will have to play in our
daily style lives. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>

who released what could now be seen as the biggest game changer when it comes
to ‘Wearables’. The announcement of Project Jacquard and partnership with Levi
Strauss raises a whole lot of interesting questions about where we see the
future of fashion heading in the next few years. The aim of the project and
resultant partnership with Levi’s is to create ‘smart clothes’ that allow the
wearer to interact with products, services and applications that are accessible
through their smart phone devices and tablets, put more simply, syncing their
jeans with their digital devices. A more thorough explanation of what Project
Jacquard actually is and the implications it could have in all of our wardrobes
is given in the accompanying video from Google featured below. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

terms of its impact on the world of fashion is yet to be seen but it isn’t the
only innovation of its type taking place. To coincide with last year’s US Open
Ralph Lauren unveiled their “Polo Tech” design which allowed the shirt to
measure heart rate, calories burnt as well as a whole lot of other data that
could be transmitted via Bluetooth to an accompanying smart phone application. Like
anything to do with fashion if done correctly it will be extremely interesting
to see how the advances of technology and its combination with textiles and
fabric impact our everyday style choices. In terms of the immediate future it
may well be the aforementioned smart watch market and existing players such as
Apple and announcements from other leading brands that may have a much
larger impact on how technology impacts what we wear. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>

Apple Watch is still its style desirability. In general this is also a question that could be levelled
at the majority of players in the smart watch market at the moment but with
designer brands such as Tag Heuer and Guess making movements of intent to incorporate
smart technology into their timepieces this could well change. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>

when it comes to tracking the development of tech’s influence on fashion is
most certainly glasses. The now scraped Google Glass initiative had flirtations
with high fashion during its short lifetime but we would not be surprised if it
was somehow re-erected and incorporated in to Project Jacquad somehow further
down the line. Car manufacturer MINI’s unveil of its new Augmented Vision eyewear
earlier this year also opens many doors for fashion companies as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

corporation with the BMW Group Company and its primary aim is to aid driver
safety with navigation highlights as well as points of interest projected on to
the road but it will also include phone capabilities as well and it’s easy to
imagine the possibilities that could lead to this kind of technology being
implemented off the road and into everyday life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

always hard to predict but with the involvement of tech continually growing the
possibilities really are endless. We may not be that far away from jeans that are
able to charge our phones in our pockets from the kinetic energy generated from
walking through to overcoats hardly being needed at all as slim fabric comes
with the ability to generate enough heat to keep us warm on a cold night.. where
do you see the future of technology and fashion heading?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Australia is by far one of the best destinations when it
comes to beaches, surfing and food. However, when the term ‘fashion’ is thrown
about, Australia is one of the last places that springs to mind. We’re so
caught up with European and American brands that other designers around the
world tend to get overlooked. But in-fact Australian brands are the ones we
should be on the look-out for.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Australia is currently one of the biggest emerging markets
in the fashion industry. With new brands popping up non-stop and fashion
designers always stepping up their game. Of course it’s home to some iconic and
well respected fashion labels such as Sass and Bide but there’s also various new up and coming brands slowly getting established within the fashion
world. Also with the rise of Australian fashion bloggers and YouTubers taking
over social media this has definitely helped to put Australian fashion brands
at the forefront of the industry in recent years. <o:p></o:p></div>

undergraduate degrees when they started the label. Within the first year they
grew a huge following on social media through visually appealing images that
ranged from detailed product shots to behind-the-scenes posts of both
designers. Today they have over 1.2 million followers on Instagram, equal to
Net-a-porter . the brand sells trendy clothes at affordable prices but best of
all the brand has an unique way of selecting models and shooting visual
lookbooks for each individual item of clothing, which gives the brand an edge.<br />

<b>The Rise of the

It’s official! The world is now fully digital, move over
print advertorials and say hello to social media advertorials. It’s safe to say
that many up and coming brands wouldn’t be where they are today without the
help of an online influencer. Australian
bloggers seem to be paving the way for creativity within their content and the
growth of their following speaks for itself. From YouTube gurus with over 1
million subscribers to bloggers with over 1 million Instagram followers, Australian influencers are definitely the ones to look out for.<br />

<a href="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2015127/rs_560x415-150227110841-1024.Moschino-Looney-Tunes-Milan.ms.022715_copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2015127/rs_560x415-150227110841-1024.Moschino-Looney-Tunes-Milan.ms.022715_copy.jpg" height="473" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It might be controversial to make this statement, but in the height of social media, of hashtags and selfies, it would appear that fashion has begun to take itself a little less seriously. It might not be the industry itself that has lost its seriousness and its exclusivity, but the rhetoric that surrounds it most certainly has.<br />
<br />
What is trending on social media and Google is often what’s trending on the streets and the blogs. These trends are usually adopted and adapted from the most dominant and accessible items or trends on the catwalk. Admittedly such trends don’t generally tend to be long lasting, but they form quickly and their reach vast, across the whole wide world and its web.<br />
<br />
When Jeremy Scott paid homage to the American fast food conglomerate in the A/W 2014 -15 Moschino collection, displaying McDonald’s memorabilia all over the Moschino runway, it looked like Scott had chucked up his McDonalds. The collection wasn't refined nor elegant. In fact it was garish and brash and celebrated a brand that was far from vogue. One wouldn't imagine that the likes of Anna Wintour loved it, but on the whole, the fashion set ate it all up.<br />
<br />
Anna Dello Russo and her fellow fashion spectators attended fashion shows with their McDonalds fries phone cases held in their hands - showing them off proudly like they were a statement handbag. The excitement travelled from the runway, to the street style icons, to the blogs, across social media and you know how the rest of that story goes. Who knew the fashionable world could get so excited about McDonalds? The reaction was phenomenal and the internet was there to document it.<br />
<br />
Autumn/Winter 2014-15 Spongebob Squarepants led the Moschino pack down the runway. Prior to that, I am sure the only affiliation the cartoon character have with fashion be Marc Jacob's Spongebob tattoo. On the runway of the Spring Summer 2015 models emerge onto the Moschino catwalk looking like real life Barbies, dressed in bubble gum pink, with giant synthetic hair -just like Barbie. Aside from the ongoing Barbie body debate, when was the last time fashion followers gave much thought to Barbie, the fifty odd year old doll? Probably not since Vogue released the Vogue Italia Black Barbie issue in 2009.<br />
<br />
The most recent Moschino collection, Jeremy Scott gave the spotlight to thugged out Warner Bros characters, Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Taz, Sylvester and Daffy. These iconic pop-culture figures were the characters of Warner Bros Studios Looney Tunes animated series, which began airing in 1939 during the golden age of animation. Of course, how Jeremy Scott selects the iconic figures and brands to head up his collections is interesting, but the ultimate question here is, why any characters at all?<br />
<br />
Why are these highly characterised, mass culture icons infiltrating high fashion? And how come the likes of ex-Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and Anna Wintour aren’t outraged? Possibly for the very same reason that Kim Kardashian has now featured on the covers of both Vogue and the CR book.<br />
<br />
Fashion editors have long lost sole control of the media that surrounds it, as bloggers and street style icons democratise fashion and social media becomes a massive part of any marketing and branding strategy. As the landscape of fashion evolves hand in hand with social media, leaders of digital marketing, bloggers and influencers have long found themselves sat in the FROW and in the driving seat of the industry. Just look at what the bloggers, the influencers and the street style icons did for the Kenzo Tiger sweatshirt. Was there ever a fashion show in 2013 without a Kenzo Tiger sweatshirt spotted on the streets or in the audience? And was that sweatshirt ever not sold out?<br />
<br />
Then Ricardo Tisci had Disney's Bambi head up the Givenchy A/W 2013-14 collection. It wasn't only bloggers, celebrities and street style icons that joined the Bambi club. Even Carine Roitfeld left behind her open shirt and pencil skirt signature style to pledge her allegiance to the Givenchy Bambi club. When did it ever become so OK to wear what she's wearing and it to be so apparent?<br />
<br />
Since the decline of the IT bag, conspicuous consumption has never been so fashionable and the world wide web is just working away, making these trends more conspicuous than ever. Jeremy Scott has mastered the dance between fashion and social media, he has seen what translates from the runway, to the streets, to the blogs and across the internet and he's running with it.<br />
<br />
Take the aforementioned Kim Kardashian, despite her mass appeal, like McDonalds and Spongebob, she isn't deemed particularly high-brow. Her presence in the world of high fashion is somewhat controversial, but her reach is wide and her impact impressive. She is not technically a blogger, but her fame definitely relies heavily on the number of Followers, Likes and Google searches she has accumulated over the years.<br />
<br />
Of course, Kim Kardashian's affiliation with fashion designer, rapper husband Kanye West has helped her fashion inauguration, but its her mass appeal and her social media dominance, her relevance and her influence that the fashion industry could no longer deny. Is there really any difference between McDolnalds and Barbie to Kim Kardashian?<br />
<br />
<br />
Fashion has always been fast, but it needs to be even faster to keep up with the demands of social media and the world's ever developing digital state of mind. Statements need to be bold and they need to have mass appeal to have a fighting chance to impress and impact the short attention spans and trends of today. Jeremy Scott has seen what translates from the runway, to the streets, to the blogs and across the internet and he's running with it.<br />

I’m a firm believer that certain items you just shouldn’t

the quality in craftsmanship and design is just simply unequivocal. <o:p></o:p></div>

Webster knows all about designing the most fetching statement shoes that are bold

embraces a high top sneaker meets tie-up heel design. These shoes would look mesmerizingly

Christopher Raeburn has done exactly that with is latest army
surplus collection shown at LCM. Raeburn’s early career saw him study
at the Chaterhouse School in Oxford, after turning down a commission during his
national service; Raeburn commenced work in Palestine as a clerk with the Royal
Signals in which he quickly became exposed to all the vile abominations of the
war which even included a terrorist attack on the base's cinema.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It could be argued that his time during Palestine will always be ever prevalent within his heart, his latest collection is synonymous of this notion, Raeburn spent a staggering £7,000 a piece on Navy life rafts which plays the focal vision of the entire collection.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rareburn has long used army surplus as a defining visionary
of his work, ever since graduating in 2006 this has been a pinnacle feature for
the British Designer, whose collection last year saw salvaged war pieces like
high-vis orange materials and reflective flashes details entwined into high end everyday fashion. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rareburn finds beauty in ‘un-used but past sell-by date’ mediums, creating them into conceptualised wearable pieces of art. The collection which is largely made up of outwear and accessories for men also saw inflatable puffer
jackets as part of the collection which too are made from emergency vessels still
baring it's orginal markings which adds to the character of the garments in this collection, all in keeping with his re-cycled ethos which here at Style Forecaster we just LOVE!</div>
