Show Review: Miu Miu Spring 2017

The swim caps and poolside-perfect attire in Miu Miu’s Spring 2017 collection made us wish it was Summer all over again. The looks were a luminous and pleasant dream, steeped in retro-inspired allure and sophistication.

02-miu-miu-spring-2017

03-miu-miu-spring-2017

04-miu-miu-spring-2017

Miuccia Prada pulled from her adolescence for the assortment: Italy’s confidence and enthusiasm in the late 60’s and 70’s, along with that era’s eye-catching patterns.

06-miu-miu-spring-2017

The brand’s spin on seasonal florals included cozy stoles with armholes for that languid, off-the-shoulder look, terry coats belted at the waist, sarong and apron-inspired skirts, and colorful doctor’s bags.

Abstract and artful prints also made an appearance, for a real vintage vibe. They were strewn against everything from barely-there hot pants to bow-back blouses.

Outerwear was also a main focus in the collection—with striped jackets accented by fur collars, fit-and-flare designs with bracelet sleeves, and the aforementioned terry stunners that could literally double as the most stylish bathrobes ever.

Rihanna probably already has a few of these pieces—to be debuted on Snapchat or Instagram soon I’m sure—though we’re certain Miu Miu fans like Margot Robbie, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Corinne Bailey Rae will also be spotted in the brand’s wares in the coming months.

Beauty Crush Wednesday: Lupita Nyong’o

To a woman who needs no introduction, this Mexican-Kenyan award-winning actress and film maker has stolen many a gaze during every red carpet event she attends.  Lupita Nyong’o’s statuesque frame has been the canvas for many a blue chip designer, but what’s just as striking as the stunning gowns she wears is her natural beauty.

Lupita Nyong'o BCW 23

Already an accomplished actress in Kenya, Nyong’o rose to international stardom after landing the role as Patsey in the historical feature film 12 Years A Slave. Since then, she’s been a red carpet favorite and a dream for noted photographers, and it’s not difficult to see why.  Nyong’o has unabashedly shattered beauty standards with her ever changing natural hairstyles and flawless dark skin.

Lupita Nyong'o BCW 24
Lupita Nyong'o BCW 6

Taking advantage of her complexion, she’s often seen sporting bright, vivid eyecolors and bold lip hues.  From rosy pinks to oranges and even blues, Nyong’o has a deep adoration for colors and isn’t afraid to take a risk when it comes to different shades. 

Lupita Nyong'o BCW 11

Like her achievements, her hair knows no bounds.  Though she mainly rocks a chic buzz cut, on occasion she changes up her look.  From braids to afros to her iconic gravity-defying updo at this year’s Met Gala, she’s proven how much beauty there is in natural black hair.  

Lupita Nyong'o BCW 4
Lupita Nyong'o BCW 32

Now on the press tour for her upcoming film Queen of Katwe, Nyong’o has been making her red carpet rounds and has never looked more regal.  Pairing Elie Saab and Carolina Herrera gowns with stunning head wraps gives a nod to her heritage.  Furthermore, she can be spotted wearing bold, African printed pieces by black New York based designers like Kibonen NY, Busayo Olupona, and Dpipertwins. 

Lupita Nyong'o BCW 8

For us, being beautiful goes beyond the exterior, and Lupita Nyong’o definitely exemplifies that.  Outside of the glitz and glam, she stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for black girls who think their dreams aren’t valid.  Her involvement with Mother Health International, an organization dedicated to providing relief to mothers and children in war-torn and poverty stricken regions, landed her an honor at Variety’s Power of Women. And through her WildAid initiative, she’s taken a stance with Kenyan government to demonstrate their zero- tolerance approach to poaching and ivory smuggling. 

Here’s to this week’s beauty crush, Lupita Nyong’o!  Grace, style, and compassion personified.  What say you to this week’s pick?

 

 

Show Review: Vanessa Seward Spring 2017

Facts: Vanessa Seward’s business is flourishing. Last night, she opened her first Parisian boutique on the Boulevard Saint-Germain, after setting up shop with a store in L.A. She demonstrated exactly why she’s prospering with her Spring 2017 collection—brimming with the blueprint that has made her brand an international hit.

What’s more practical than denim? Seward’s came in dark wash on a hooded midi dress, thigh-baring shorts, mid-rise cropped and cuffed jeans, an oversized tote, belted shirt dress, and button-front playsuit.

Nathalie Emmanuel will certainly slip into one of the collection’s many jumpsuits, but it would be nice to see Seward create some more glamorous designs for her next assortment. Her pieces are too good to not be worn on the red carpet, but they’ll need a little more glitz and glamour to make it there.
