Rick Ross aka @RichForever loves Versace!
The prosperous rapper showed his allegiance to the Italian brand on Instagram in their $770 Graphic Print Sweater:
The silk piece boasts dots, geometric prints, and the signature Medusa head.
Nautical-inspired design is a mainstay in fashion, especially for the French: thank you Coco Chanel for the proliferation of the Breton stripe almost a century ago. But as with any classic, it creates the perfect foundation for iteration and innovation. Cedric Charlier tried his hand at the timeless influence—inspired by the sea and a woman who moved her digs from the coast to let’s say, the beautiful cobblestones of Paris.
The impetus appeared on sailor jackets turned into mini dresses, roomy trousers with red and white stripes accenting the inseam, lots of navy, and that timeless maritime button pattern on pants and peacoats.
Anyone who has spent time by the sea knows the power of layering, thus Charlier assembled looks with bustiers over turtlenecks (a great trick in real-time) and knit and leather dresses and sweaters over mock-neck tops, with cozy fur collars as accents.
Outerwear was a strong focus with a statement-making yellow belted trench, tried-and-true navy peacoats that we could snatch off the runway and wear in right now, a cropped shearling that will surely please the street style set, and a glossy patent-sleeve number that was as sleek and modern as it gets.
Functional, fun, and friendly: these are just some of the ways you can describe Charlier’s latest. It riffed on one of the most classic and approachable themes, while still injecting a sense of modernity and singularity into the mix.
It was all about prints for Naomie Harris at the Christian Dior Fall 2016 Show. She slipped on a Pre-Fall 2016 Black and White Print Zip Front Dress from the iconic French fashion house:
Her dress was layered over a sheer black lace top and accented with a blue croc bag in the brand’s Pre-Fall 2016 collection.
” This picture is from her behind the scenes Super Bowl pictures. Thank you in advance.”
You came to the right place! Beyonce practiced for her epic Superbowl performance in a $1,595 Fear of God The Denim Deckcoat. It features a snap front closure and a distressed finish.

After strutting down the catwalk, Kendall Jenner celebrated at the Christian Dior Fall 2016 Show Afterparty. For the occasion, she wore an Altuzarra Fall 2016 Striped Amelia Knit Dress:
Her dress was paired with a long jacket, embellished belt, and black strappy leather, pointed-toe pumps on the brand’s Fall 2016 runway.
Great dress, though I think the occasion warranted a bit more glam, no?
“Wigs were on the menu for Balmain’s Fall 2016 collection with supermodels including Lineisy Monteiro, Ysaunny Brito, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Alessandra Ambrosio swapping their coveted hair colors and lengths in real-time for opposite shades. Naturally, the iconic French fashion house’s smoldering fashion was also present with lace mini dresses cinched at the waist, skintight skinny trousers, sheer mesh stripes, and cleverly-placed cutouts in abundance—anchored with come-hither thigh-high boots and modern takes on the buckle-accented loafer.”

Poetry at Rick Owens
The human backpacks from last October were not present at Rick Owens this time around, but humanity was on the mind for the American fashion designer. That is, the changing environmental system and its implications for mankind. The Fall 2016 RTW collection was a blend of delicately draped neutral looks in pony skin, leather and mohair. Cocoon-shaped silhouettes and puffer gowns served double duty as statement-making ensembles and warm, protective garb for a dynamic world.
Wild Wild West at Manish Arora
The Western American narrative is oft-referenced in designer collections, but not in the ways Manish Arora conjured up this past week. The presentation’s 37 looks swung from literal horse embroidery on knit sweaters to more subtle illustrations on form-fitting blazers. Yet, Arora consistently has surprises up his sleeves and incorporated Dutch wax print in a strange cultural melange.
And The Rest…
Feline instinct dominated Alexis Mabille‘s cat-adorned blouses and mini-dresses without the costume effect. Barbara Bui fascinated audiences with a patterned array of bomber-esque capes. Fashion disruptor Vetements brought the fire with creative director Demna Gvasalia’s revved-up thigh-high boots and text-heavy sweatshirts, made for this generation.
