Preview Of Sunglasses At Vision Expo

February 25, 2013 by The CoF

Eyewear is slimming down, lightening up — and getting a dose of high-tech. Pastels, blush tones and translucents are replacing bolder fluorescents and richer colors for spring, according to eyewear firms exhibiting at International Vision Expo East at the Javits Center in New York from March 14 to 17. Oversize silhouettes are shedding some of their prior heft, as frames become thinner and shapes — ranging from round to cat-eye — are shrinking somewhat in size. With their new look, […]

Party Make-Up Inspiration

December 30, 2012 by The CoF

A PARTY is the perfect opportunity to try out a more daring make-up look than you might normally, and the autumn/winter 2012-13 catwalks were rife with beauty inspiration for the season’s soirees. If you’re wearing black, then why not add a pop of colour with Anna Sui‘s quirky blue liner, Stella McCartney‘s cobalt mascara or Thakoon‘s striking red lips? Or perhaps you’re going for a more smouldering look – Gucci‘s vermilion lips or Jason Wu‘s feline emerald eyes should do the trick. So, whatever you […]

Gucci Pre-Fall 2013

December 12, 2012 by The CoF

A severe femininity ran through Gucci’s pre-fall collection. Putting aside her penchant for the Seventies and rock ’n’ roll, creative director Frida Giannini focused on Fifties-inspired shapes and a sophisticated combination of sober greens with an intense teal and hints of leopard. “This is a contemporary femme fatale who relishes her own dark mood,” said Giannini. “Armed with an invulnerable aesthetic, she has an elusive sensuality — like the protagonist in a game of pursuit.”

Creative Leaders at CoF: Carine Roitfeld

November 16, 2012 by The CoF

As former Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld‘s distinctive aesthetic has been famously summed up in one word: Irreverent. Although Carine Roitfeld is no longer the editor of FrenchVogue, she remains steadily at the perch of the fashion world, standing atop those super-high bondage-referencing heels that she partly made a staple of Parisian style (along with close-fitting pencil skirts, black leather, cinch-waist toppers, and if any woman dared follow her dictates, a little nipple). But la femme parisienne, which Roitfeld very much […]
