EMMA ROBERTS ARRIVES AT THE OSCARS® IN VINTAGE GIORGIO ARMANI GOWN & ATELIER SWAROVSKI FINE JEWELRY AS PART OF RED CARPET GREEN DRESS INITIATIVE

Red Carpet Green Dress celebrity partner, actress Emma Roberts (“Scream Queens”) showcased a form of sustainable fashion when she arrived at the 89th Academy Awards® wearing a classic Giorgio Armani gown from his very first Prive’ collection. The gown was accessorized with exclusive pieces from Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry. This is the first time vintage fashion has been put under the spotlight by Suzy Amis Cameron’s eco-conscious cause as a solution to help better the environment.
 
“Red Carpet Green Dress is always researching ways to help improve the planet and the lives of others,” states actress and environmental activist Amis Cameron. “As a culture, we are inundated with messaging of wanting and needing the latest ‘new’ product. But by recycling gowns, we are making the ‘old’ new again and finding the beauty that already exists. It is an important form of sustainability.”
 
The spaghetti strap couture dress, which originally debuted in Paris in January 2005, is embroidered with cream crystals and waves of small white jet beads featured in a two-tiered skirt. The dramatic plunging bodice is made of jet and black crystal teardrops and is completed with a black satin cummerbund at the waist. 
 
To complete the head-to-toe look Emma Roberts wore exclusive created diamond pieces from Atelier Swarovski’s first fine jewelry collection. Inspired by nature and driven by science, Swarovski brings conscious luxury and innovation to the red carpet with the Atelier Swarovski Fine Jewelry Collection, handcrafted in a Parisian atelier and featuring Swarovski Created Diamonds and crystals.  Swarovski Created Diamonds are grown in a state-of-the-art lab and have the same optical, chemical and physical attributes as mined diamonds.

To qualify as a Red Carpet Green Dress eco-conscious garment, each piece must either be made from recycled, organic or repurposed materials, use handmade detailing or incorporate natural dye processing. All resources focus on an environmentally and socially responsible design with a minimal negative impact on the environment.
 
For the 2017 Oscars-inspired campaign, Red Carpet Green Dress partnered with Atelier Swarovski and Earth Friendly Products, maker of ECOS™ Laundry Detergent to help raise funds for MUSE School CA. MUSE School CA is an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif., with her sister Rebecca Amis. The financial assistance enables students to access a transformative educational experience. MUSE School CA ensures small class size, personalized instruction and learning practices; all set within an inspiring and beautiful campus. Through these key elements, MUSE School CA paves the way in creating leaders of the future.

Friendships have ended, families have been torn apart and entire countries are alienated. It’s time for us to come together as a family to spread our message.

What message is that? There is more power in unity than division.

The Electric Family Spring 2017  line drops on Sunday, 2/26  at 10am PST and will include high quality items and on-trend garments with new graphics, designs and positive messages - all at affordable pricing. The theme of this season’s line - A CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE.

We challenge our fans daily to get active in local communities and treat others with respect at all times. Wearing our products symbolizes your commitment to making a positive impact in the world - join in on the campaign for peace. Our popular artist bracelet lines are collaborations with different DJs and producers in the industry, with a portion of proceeds from each purchase being donated to a charity of that artist’s choice.

Porsche Design Sport by adidas Spring/Summer 2017 Campaign with Xabi Alonso

Porsche Design Sport by adidas unveils its Spring/Summer 2017 campaign and collection with ambassador and world-renowned footballer Xabi Alonso

Porsche Design Sport by adidas and Xabi Alonso unveil their latest campaign to support the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection of engineered luxury sportswear.

The campaign provides a rare glimpse into a more intimate side of Xabi as he invites the cameras into his inner sanctum and home life with his actress wife, Nagore Aranburu, at his side throughout.

To support the collection’s seasonal theme of Urban Commuting, the campaign follows Xabi through a typical day, from driving to training, running with his wife, cycling leisurely to see friends, relaxing at home and finally, to stepping out to dinner at the end of the day. Throughout each context, the Porsche Design Sport by adidas collection provides stylish, functional and innovative solutions to a range of weather conditions and activities and showcases the versatility of each piece.

The premium, performance-focused collection features the highest quality materials to provide everything Xabi Alonso requires for his daily routine. Designed for the urban man and his many activities, the range of products features advanced technical details that are elegantly integrated to protect the wearer against any element, may it be darkness or light, rain or sun, cold or warmth.

In the campaign Xabi Alonso can be seen sporting many stand-out products which ensure he is comfortable, protected from the weather and stylish. Whilst driving, he wears the PADDED JACKET, a minimalist outer filled with premium PrimaLoft® Gold insulation for superior protection against the cold. While running with his wife, he chooses the tailored, lightweight REFLECTIVE JACKET which features the season’s all-over hexagonal print – a design that becomes visible when illuminated to ensure safety and practicality in darkness. Xabi Alonso also wears the specifically engineered-for-running SEVEN-EIGHTH TIGHTS which have strategic reflective details and the ENDURANCE LEATHER 2.0 training shoe - a highlight piece crafted in luxurious leather and which pairs sleek design, BOOST™ technology and comfort enhancing innovations.

Whilst on his bike, he pairs the innovative REFLECTIVE MIX JACKET with the EC RUNNING trainer. The jacket is a smart solution for commuting as it delivers warmth or cools depending on the conditions thanks to two premium technologies. The PrimaLoft® Down Blend Gold is a blend of goose down and synthetic fibres which insulates the upper body even when wet while the THERMOCOOL™ technology delivers warmth, temperature regulation and moisture management to the neck, back and arms. The trainers are highly versatile and are perfect for the gym and fashionable enough to wear for leisure. Made with an abrasion-resistant Tubular rubber outsole and comfort enhancing EVA midsole, the striking shoe features the season’s distinctive hexagon graphic for an added injection of style.

At home and during leisure time he wears the relaxed yet sophisticated CREW SWEAT TOP and the adaptable TRAVEL TOURER shoes which feature BOOSTTM for performance and come in a lightweight, breathable mesh upper and alongside an air-channeled midsole gives the wearer 360-degree ventilation for increased comfort.

‘I love the offering for Spring/Summer 2017 because I can wear many of the products every day, for any activity or event or when travelling. If I’m going to training or the gym I’ll choose the reflective and padded jackets and when I go to family events, there are many elegant and sophisticated choices. With Porsche Design Sport by adidas I never have to worry, I know I’ll always look good and be able to do the things I need to do.’ Xabi explained when discussing the collection.

Brunello Cucinelli Fall 2017 Womenswear

/

As a fashionable man, I'd wear Brunello Cucinelli 24/7 if I could... and if I were a woman, I'd wear Brunello Cucinelli 24/7! This is such an exquisite collection of luxury meets casual. Per VogueRunway: The design team worked the collection around the concept of exploration; it is intended to represent a positive outlook and an open mind toward diversity. “Inclusive combinations—respectful of different ages, races, [and] cultures—that is what it’s all about,” explained Cucinelli. Masculine references were lightened and graced with a feminine, sensual flair; military elements were softened by lace, embroidery, feathers, or vintage trimmings. Knitwear in precious alpaca, cashmere, and mohair was given a fluffy texture, as if it were a protective vellum. To enhance the inclusivity factor, shapes and volumes had gently oversize and comfortable proportions, appealing to a variety of body types without detracting from a stylish, cool attitude. Sporty inspiration was tempered by urban, utilitarian touches, as in a shearling biker jacket with a textured, antique gold metallic shine.
