The long black dress was at the centre of the fashion world yesterday as celebrities opted for this look at a range of events.
Channelling the look over in the US was Nicole Richie who went for a simple plunge neck version for the 15th Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards.
She was joined at the event by Agyness Deyn who opted for the long black frock in a see through lace version. Over at the MLS Western Conference Championship Victoria Beckham went for a black frock, while baby Harper Seven dressed in grey for the event.
And it was the same fashion story in London with Amber and Yasmin Le Bon both opting for black dresses at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Amber channelled the lace look while her mother stuck to a classic asymmetric strapless look.
They were joined by Natalia Vordinova who spiced up the back dress with a velvet bustier look. However some celebrities stood out from the black dress crowd. Jessie J went for an 80s look of a blue jumpsuit at gauche gold jacket, while Coco Rocha also went for blue in a strapless dress at the Harpers Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.
The fashion elite descended on Cipriani last night to celebrate WWD’s 100th Anniversary Gala. Jessica Szohr, Iman and fashion twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen went for trendy black at the event.
Jessica in a jumpsuit and Iman in shift dress, which showed off her gorgeous figure.
The twins however, opted for something a little bit more daring sporting long fur jackets and cute patterned tights. Diane Von Furstenberg also went for a black trouser and top combo for the event.
However, there was some colour.
Petra Nemcova brightened up the evening in a deep blue satin frock with ruffled sleeves, while Elettra Wiedemann went for a white strapless number. Coco Rocha also stood out with her red casual checked shirt.
However our best dressed award has got to go to Georgina Chapman for her gorgeous pale pink ruffled dress, which she teamed up with black tights… we want that look.
Karl Lagerfeld is no stranger to the food industry. Last month he had a salad named after him in a swanky Paris restaurant and now it seems the designer has gone from the bubbly heights of fashion to the fizzy fortunes of erm, Diet Coke.
Mr Lagerfeld has teamed up with Coca-Cola Light in France, where he designed a special aluminium bottle capped in vivid pink and adorned with his unmistakable, emphatic silhouette – dark suit, high collar, jutting ponytail.
And he also shot the ad campaign, which features models Coco Rocha and Lagerfeld regular Baptiste Giacobini.
The ads will hit France on April 28 and we really hope they make a gradual move into the UK too.
A few weeks after Lara Stone announced her wedding dress designer would be Riccardo Tisci, supermodel Coco Rocha has said she’ll be enlisting the creative talents of Zac Posen for her frock.
We had thought the model, come designer would be designing her own dress but she confirmed the news on Twitter.
“Mr. Zac Posen is the best! I met with him to discuss wedding dress designs and immediately sketches were flying… So exciting!!,” she wrote on her page.
We can’t wait to see the design Coco chooses, and will her dress be better than Miss Stone’s?
We see a real life fashion bride wars coming up quite soon.
We think a big congratulations is in order fo Coco Rocha who has just announced she has got engaged to interior designer boyfriend James Conran.
The 21 year old Canadian model come designer, told fans on her blog yesterday: “I’m very happy to announce that I am engaged. Mr. Conran proposed last week and I most definitely accepted. I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy as I am right now. I can’t wait to start the rest of my life with him…
“Love you with all my heart James, xoxo, Coco.”
The couple met when he designed the interior of her New York apartment, and it seems Mr Conran is equally as excited about the proposal. He wrote on his Twitter page last night;
“We are two sappy fools in love.”
Our friends in Canada will be familiar with Coco Rocha’s TV reporting work for E! The model was all over Fashion Week filming a special Coco Rocha Fashion Attack! which was given a special screening in New York this week. The show includes interviews with designers and funny moments with her Elite agent Micki Schneider. Check out the clip above of Coco taking camera tips from another model-turned-TV-star, Heidi Klum.
New York’s Lincoln Centre was the place to be last night as designers, models and other starlets gathered to celebrate the 2009 CFDA Awards. We’ve already brought you the list of winners – click here to get the update. So now, onto the red carpet arrivals. It was a celeb-fest with the likes of Doutzen Kroes wearing a flouncy Zac Posen frock, and Blake Lively, Coco Rocha and a preggers Heidi Klum supporting Michael Kors by wearing his clothes. Catch up on what everyone was wearing by clicking image below.
Zac Posen’s Fall 2009 fashion show was one of the most-talked about of fashion week. It wasn’t just the beautiful couture-level clothes. And it wasn’t only the amazing model watching, yes, Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Alek Wek and Sasha Pivovarova were all there. (I’ll admit to squeeling several times.) But it was the show itself with 5 baby grand pianos on the runway played by the 5 Browns, a brother/sister piano troupe, and the glitz and glamour Posen – and we – love.
Coco Rocha is a little crazy in this video, but we like it! For a look at how it all turned out at his runway show, check out another vid after the jump.
What girl doesn’t fantasize about buying a little bit of everything in Barney’s? That’s the theme of the store’s fall catalog, created by Simon Doonan and starring Coco Rocha.
Rocha is photographed as the character Emma, and Emma has a dilemma.
“Making decisions has never been my strong point. When faced with a chocolate eclair or a macaroon, I dither and procrastinate and end up nibbling on both” says Emma.
