Erte would be proud with Alberta Ferretti's Couture collection. But this limited edition haute couture goes beyond the French artist and pays homage to femme fatale beauty, Marchesa Luisa Casati. The eccentric Marchesa, an Italian heiress, died in 1957 and has served as a muse for designers like John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and now, Alberta Ferretti. Casati's lavish lifestyle and love of exotic animals are symbolized in this gorgeous collection through animal prints and exquisite abundance. It's dramatic and elegant, like its muse.
It’s often said that fashion is like history. It often repeats itself, so styles skip a decade and then come back into fashion. There is certainly evidence to support this when you look at things like the mini skirt, high shorts and tartans amongst others. But, eventually these will fall out of style again until they re-enter fashion in a few years time. However, there are things that never go out of style. You can pull them out of your wardrobe and wear them or use them no matter what year it is. Let’s look at a few of these items, some of which might be worth a purchase.
Leather goods are hardly ever seen as unfashionable. For whatever reason they seem to ooze appeal. Whether you are rocking a stylish leather carry bag or even a cover for your tablet, you’re always going to be in with the trends. But the prime example of a leather item that will always be stylish is the leather jacket. We bet you have got at least one tucked in your wardrobe that you pull out every now and then. Why wouldn’t you? It’s always going to be in fashion, no matter what type of jacket you have got. It could be a bomber jacket from the 70’s or punk leather from the 80’s and you can still wear it today.
We know there have been trends where it has been cool to wear clothing that is either incredibly baggy or tight. But what will always be fashionable is wearing clothes that fit. This is how they look their best and stylists know this. Sure, on occasion you may see people wearing jeans hanging off their bottom or a t shirt four sizes too big to cover it. But, we all know that when clothing fits it will always make whoever is wearing it look instantly more stylish. Certainly if you want to look like a gentleman, this is the route to take.
Like them or loathe them, and goodness knows there are many who can’t stand them, animal prints are always going to be in style. We don’t know what it is about them. It could be that they are linked to being racy and generating sex appeal. Or, it might be that animal prints are actually neutral colors so you can wear them at anytime, anywhere. Of course, these days fashion experts often claim less is more. So, if you are thinking about animal prints, a small accessory is a better choice than a full outfit.
Finally, it seems unlikely that these will ever go out of style because they have been vintage for a while now. They’re still popular today and while the colors may change, the overall look never does. That’s something that you can’t say about many other shoe brands. It’s why we’re sure that twenty years from now people will still be wearing the shoes star basketball players used to rock. Afterall David Tennant has already embedded them in pop culture with his incarnation of Doctor Who.
It was classic Gaultier: a thematic runway with a playful mix of inherently french design and tongue-in-cheek humor. "Big cat" animal prints, in luxurious fabrics, ruled the "catwalk" for the
