Paris Fashion Week is soon coming to a close so we’re looking back on trend takeaways from the most memorable designer showcases! Without further ado, here are the top 6 trending styles on the runways of Off-White, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Balmain, Dior, Balenciaga and Givenchy:
Armorcore
Both Balmain and Dior made a return to the 15th century with medieval-inspired design choices! Garments resembling knights in shining armor with a contemporary charm made their way down the aisle.
A number of shows including Balenciaga, Givenchy, YSL, made strong color statements that were heavy on the black. Each designer did black in their own way for Fall/Winter 2022.
For Fall/Winter 2022 to 2023, you’ll want to trade in your flannel for your choice of tartan, gingham or checker print done in an elevated fashion! Off-White and Dior brought their checkers to the runway in maximalistic ways.
Designers like Olivier Roustieg at Balmain, Denma at Balenciaga and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino are playing on the mix of baggy fits, sharp tailoring and round shapes. The end result is a futuristic silhouette made for today’s most avant-garde dressers.

Highs and Lows
When it comes to evening wear, we are here for the highs and the lows! Off-White, Christian Dior and Givenchy each made iterations of the high-low dress fit for the red carpet.
Another powerful color story that took fashion week by storm was Valentino’s Pink Parade. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s specific shade is now being added to Pantone as ‘PP Pink’! Designers Off-White and Balenciaga also incorporated pink into their collections this season.

What was your favourite show or trend? Will you be wearing any of these styles? We want to hear it!
2022 might as well be dubbed the year of maximalism! There is no time for dull moments as the world finally opens the gates to a pandemic-free life. Now is the time to go all out in style not matter the occasion – here’s how, with examples from those who are doing it best!
Use Color
Rule number one when dressing the maximalist way: embrace color! The days of wearing just black and grey are over because color is about to become your best friend. Don’t be afraid to mix complementary colours together, Like Nicki Minaj in full lilac Marc Jacobs with pink accents!
What makes maximalism one of the funkiest fashion movements is the mix of print and patterns! While it may seem daunting at first, we suggest selecting motifs in the same colour family, and big patterns against smaller prints to start. When done to perfection, you’ll look as fresh as Muni Long styled by Manny Jay!
Experimenting with different textures helps in really keeping things interesting, both to the eye and to the touch! You can achieve this by adding a fur coat or leather jacket for instance. Savannah James wore a full Maison Margiela distressed denim look that took it to the next level!
To finish things off, confidence really is your best accessory with this one! Wear what you want, when you want, and don’t let it wear you! Teyana Taylor looked poised and comfy in DisneyLand wearing a Marc Jacobs sweats set in maximal style.
You cannot just pick any swimsuit that you like, since it has to fit well, flatter your figure and look good both dry and wet. Design and style in swimwear have changed greatly since the early days when people wore special clothing for going out and playing in the water. The vast number of different styles of swimwear and types of swimwear fabric can be confusing as well as frustrating for anyone trying to choose one. You will be able to choose a swimsuit regardless of the fabric you choose, but there are a few things to keep in mind before choosing one.
Swimsuits Made From Cotton
Swimwear made from cotton feels natural against the skin and is comfortable, breathable, and wicks away moisture. The suit may shrink slightly if it is 100 percent cotton. Furthermore, the garment may bleed color if it comes into contact with chlorine in pool water or if you wash it. Swimsuits don’t usually fit well, so when you step out of the pool, you won’t typically appear very stylish.
Nylon
Swimwear made of nylon fabric tends to breathe better, to be less prone to puckering and tearing. When in contact with chlorine or other chemicals, it doesn’t break down. This material dries faster than other materials, breathes well, and doesn’t degrade as quickly as other materials. Overall, it is the most popular swimwear fabric. However, it can fade and fray with time.
Polyester
Compared to nylon, polyester isn’t as soft. In addition to its durability, it does not shed water as quickly as nylon or dry as quickly as cotton. Unless they are made from a mixture of nylon and polyester, it is not generally found in modern swimsuits.
Lycra
Swimming suits made from Lycra fit well and repel water very quickly. It is hard for people of average size and shape to wear lycra because it is very form fitting.
Given the many factors to take into consideration when choosing a swimsuit, finding the perfect one can seem overwhelming. Aside from the design and style, the fit, how long the suit holds up in the water, and how well it flatters the figure, there are other things to consider. A common mistake, however, is to overlook the fabric. Since most of the factors discussed above will be greatly affected by the fabric of the swimsuit, this factor is extremely important. So instead, let’s have a look at some of the most common fabric types used in swimwear and swimwear manufacturing, as well as their characteristics and pros and cons.
Types Of Swimsuit Lining
Aside from the fabric of the swimsuit, the lining is another factor to consider. Most swimsuits use nylon-lycra blends or knitted fabrics for their lining.
1. Nylon And Lycra Blend
While some swimsuits use nylon/lycra blends for their linings, these cling too tightly to the body when wet, which can be uncomfortable and embarrass for some women. Consequently, the aim of choosing swimsuits with a lining that reduces clinging and smooths out cellulite dimples is to reduce cellulite dimples. If the fabric in your swimsuit is on the heavier end, they can help make it lighter overall.
2. Tricot Knit
A nylon or polyester-elastane blend is commonly used for the lining of swimsuits. There are three colors: black, white, and nude. They are light, smooth, and sheer but not shiny. Despite their four-way stretch, they are not as stretchy as swimsuit fabrics. Underwear and gloves are also made from this fabric. It is made from fine fibers and simple threads. The wearer’s figure is flattering in swimsuits made with stretch knit fabrics.
Swimsuits with poor linings should be avoided. Their mesh is usually loose and has only one direction of stretch (as compared to others which have four directions). The lack of stretch in the lining of your swimsuit will immediately affect its fit. Look for linings that have neutral colors. By doing so, opacity will be increased; a firm and stable piece created, and a softening effect will be created.

Most teen moms would not consider plastic surgery at this point of their lives when they have a baby to care for. They aren’t the three teen moms who star on the show Teen Moms. Three celebrities from this show have had their bodies sculpted with rear end plastic surgery called a Brazilian Butt Lift. Results were different for each of them.
Most celebrities will not reveal whether or not they have had plastic surgery, but these three celebrities openly share their experiences with their Brazilian Butt Lifts.
Kaitlyn Lowry Was the First to Try a Brazilian Butt Lift
In 2016, Kaitlyn Lowry underwent a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) to enlarge her derriere. This procedure involves removing fat from the waistline, abdomen, legs, or other areas of the body and inserting it into the butt. The surgery not only adds fullness to the rear end. It also shapes the waistline and other areas of the body into slimmer, better-defined body parts.
Kaitlyn knew that if she was proud of how her outer body looked, then she would have more self-confidence. Her BBL was performed when her son was six years old. She continued to star in MTV’s follow-up of Teen Mom 2. In between her performances, Kaitlyn managed to have three more sons for a total of four sons.
The plastic surgery may have helped her maintain her career to this day when she is 30 years old. She will not star in Season 2 of Teen Mom 2.
Kaitlyn has recently lost some pounds. Her experience with her BBL and with her other plastic surgery was positive. She plans to have another body modification soon. It’s a breast reduction that will undoubtedly enable her to be more comfortable.
Briana DeJesus Was Next
Only two years later in 2018, Briana DeJesus was the next Teen Mom 2 star to undergo a BBL. She joined her co-star Kaitlyn Lowry and other stars who have had a variety of procedures to enhance their tushes. One star of another show had butt injections without any pain killers in someone’s apartment. Another star had illegal butt injections that caused her trouble for years. Several surgeries later to fix the damage, she is doing much better.
Briana is living proof of how important it is to have a BBL done by a top board-certified plastic surgeon. A plastic surgeon is trained to prevent and eliminate pain and to ensure the patient’s comfort to the highest possible level. The details of her extreme pain may not have been reported to her surgeon.
Any time that a person undergoes surgery of any kind, there will be pain. With the help of a board-certified plastic surgeon, much of this pain can be controlled.
The Teen Mom 2 show was just renewed, and Season 2 will begin with Briana starring in the show. She will perform without her co-star Kaitlyn Lowry, which may be a refreshing break for her since the two stars have been at each other’s throats for a long time.
Jade Cline Had Her Brazilian Butt Lift in 2021
Another Teen Mom 2 star to have a BBL was Jade Cline. Two of her co-stars had already had the butt builder surgery, and she was next. Jade actually had MTVs cameras there to follow her procedure. She had a positive outcome of her BBL and posted pics of herself as she was recovering from the surgery. The Teen Mom 2 star also posted selfies of her new pouting lips online for fans to see. This was another plastic surgery to enhance Jade’s natural beauty.
For Jade, having the BBL boosted her confidence. The outcome looks natural and proportionate to the rest of her body. Her fans made mostly positive comments about her surgery and the end results. No wonder she is happy that she had the BBL!
Getting Through a Brazilian Butt Lift the Best Way
Board-certified plastic surgeons suggest that patients who have had a BBL follow certain procedures after surgery. One of these is to sleep on their stomach or side for two weeks. Another few weeks of avoiding sitting on the buttocks is also necessary. Most surgeons recommend a donut for sitting as this removes pressure from the buttocks. Following a healthy diet will help you recover and heal faster. A compression garment is often recommended for six weeks after surgery.
Common Myths About a Brazilian Butt Lift
Many myths about getting a BBL are believed by most people. Among these is the one that the BBL is a dangerous surgery. Actually, it is safe if performed by a plastic surgeon. Make sure that your surgeon will insert the fat from other body parts into the butt in the proper manner. This is to insert the fat between the muscle and the skin.
When doctors first began to do BBLs, they thought that it was best to insert the fat cells directly into the butt muscles. This did result in some problems when fat cells moved into a blood vessel and caused fatal results. When you go for your consultation with your plastic surgeon, make sure that the doctor will not place the cells into the butt muscles, but between the muscle and skin.
Using a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Minimizes Problems
The best plastic surgeons have learned the procedure for performing a BBL safely. They are up to date on the latest research and know how to safely perform the surgery. The celebrities who have shared the hardships that they have had tell us that they had someone inject their butts with some type of substance. These procedures were not performed by board-certified plastic surgeons.
The Major Benefit of a Brazilian Butt Lift
Almost everyone who has had a BBL shares that it enhanced their self-confidence. Knowing that they look good on the outside gave them more self-confidence and helped them feel good about themselves. They knew they looked more attractive, so they felt and acted more appealing to their audience. This procedure may be the perfect one for you too.
Karl Lagerfeld pulled off one of the best fashion displays by hosting his models at the Grand Palais Casino, which knitted together perfectly with his Autumn collection.
Very few establishments in modern times have maintained a strict dress code the way casinos have managed to. Even the best restaurants and theatres in town no longer always require men to put on their best suits and women to wear a cocktail dress.
Of course, not every modern casino still operates a stringent dress code, and there are still some classy casinos that allow a smart casual appearance. Fashion in casinos has already been well discussed and dissected by PartyCasino.
But what isn’t been talked about enough on this subject is Karl Lagerfeld’s 2015 Autumn collection in Paris. It was a show that merged haute couture within a sophisticated casino setting. A slice of Vegas was welcomed into Paris that day.
Who was Karl Lagerfeld?
Karl Lagerfeld was a fashion designer and creative director, most famously for Chanel. He was born in Germany in 1933 and died in Paris in 2019, leaving behind a glittering career as one of the leading fashion designers in Europe. He wasn’t just well known for his work. He had a signature appearance with snow-white hair, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves and collars that could be detached from his shirts.
The show that we discuss below was one of Lagerfeld’s last before he passed away. In fact, he only produced five more shows before his death.
The Paris Show of 2015
One of Lagerfeld’s most memorable and significant shows was his Paris Show of 2015. It was a show to reveal his Autumn collection. The show was innovatively set within a casino (the Grand Palais, to be exact) on the casino floor, encompassing gaming tables and dealers. The audience sat on the outskirts of the floor as models used the steps down the casino floor and the gaming arena itself as the catwalk.
There were many notable celebrities in attendance, some of whom took the opportunity to play some of the casino games in the process. To show their support, some of the biggest names in attendance were Kristen Stewart, Rita Ora, Julianne Moore, Lara Stone, and Lily-Rose Depp.
A show that raised the stakes?
The outfits were representative of the surroundings. Let’s just say that you weren’t ever going to see a swimwear model strutting by a blackjack table. Each of the models in the show wore tight wigs that had been styled into a bob. A business theme was used to show off a wealth of female suits, skirt suits, boxy jackets, slim-cut trousers and blazers. The outfits didn’t look out of place in the setting, and everything was knitted together perfectly.
Although Lagerfeld raised the stakes by placing his show away from a standard catwalk in a conventional venue, he managed to win on the night.
Sevyn isn’t afraid to show some skin, and did just that in this sultry black leather accented dress, styled by Deonte Nash. Crystal accented sandals, flowing locks, and a small hoop earring were all she needed to uplift this look. See it move below:
