Karl Lagerfeld's KARLYWOOD Movie Posters

/

What happens when an iconic fashion designer embraces iconic Hollywood blockbusters? You get  KARLYWOOD! It's interesting to witness this comical side of Karl Lagerfeld who is always seemingly serious. I know I'm not alone in my obsession with Uncle Karl, so I kind of love it! 

French cartoonist Tiffany Cooper created ten posters where Karl Lagerfeld stars as the protagonist in major films like Kill Bill and King Kong. The limited edition Karlywood posters are on display (and on sale) at the Karl Lagerfeld store on 194 bvd St Germain through the end of April.

Remember last year's Karl Lagerfeld's mini-me which was all the rage at the Fendi runway show? Now with the movie posters under his designer belt, this proves that while Uncle Karl may not smile a lot, he sure has a sense of humor.

The Cannes Fashion Festival announced that it has secured a trio of luminary names to sign a limited edition range of charity t-shirts. Legendary footballer, Lionel Messi, prodigious DJ and producer, Steve Aoki and world renowned sculptor artist, Lorenzo Quinn are among the first A-list celebrities to lend their signatures to the Festival’s anti-Ebola campaign.

A handful of the limited edition t-shirts have been sent to key personalities hailing from sport, music, art and film backgrounds. Cue contributions from Messi, Aoki and Quinn! The trio have generously autographed their t-shirts which will be mounted and framed. The unique pieces will then be auctioned live during one of the VIP Cannes Fashion Festival galas.

Inspired by vibrant colours, CUSTO Barcelona creator, Custo Dalmau designed the on-trend unisex t-shirt that captures the 'joie de vivre' of the famous French event.

Cannes Fashion Festival extends a huge ‘thank you’ to the generous celebrities and commends them for their commitment to combating Ebola.  

While the fight against Ebola is a key charity cause, the Cannes Fashion Festival is also involved with a number of other not-for-profit organizations. A Present Back Society is one of its chosen groups, with the principal purpose of fighting poverty and malnutrition of the elderly and children principally in the developed world. The society will be holding a handful of charity events throughout the Cannes Fashion Festival in a bid to raise awareness for its cause.

Junya Watanabe Fall 2015

/

I've never cared for mathematics until Junya Watanabe. I still don't know enough about math and equations to speak coherently about it, but I do know about shape and form and how it relates to fashion. I am obsessed with this collection! Junya Watanabe's Fall 2015 has embraced a mathematical geometry of class and elegance. From the architectural hats to the honeycomb capes to the studded pants, this is the most exquisite collection I've seen this season. Art, math and fashion collided to create an ultra chic collection.

Vivienne Westwood Fall 2015

/

Vivienne Westwood was born a rebel with a creative mind. A mind which she uses as a method of expression. Today I would refer to Westwood as more of an activist than a rebel. Her collections have always had a thought or message attached beyond the surface of glitter and sequins. Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2015 collection dealt with climate change, had hula skirts and featured men in dresses. View the collection and gather your own interpretations. Its theme was Unisex. And while much of it may appear as costume at first glance, when you take a closer look with a discriminating eye, you've got well-tailored pants, blazers, playful proportions and couture-like draping.
