Karoline Kurkova wears Lady Fozaza as she visits Dubai

Karolína Isela Kurkova is a Czech model, best known as a former Victoria's Secret Angel, and actress. Mario Testino said of Kurkova: "The proportions of her body and her face, as well as her energy level, make her a model who could fit almost into any moment." Vogue editor Anna Wintour called her the "next supermodel".

Kurkova is among the world's top-earning models, having earned an estimated $5 million in the year 2007. She was placed 6th in the Forbes annual list of the highest earning models.

As she arrived yesterday in Dubai, Karolina Kurkova went out and about with our beloved Zoya Sakr to end the night with a tweet saying:

I would like some giant beads please:) #Dubai Jacket by @Fozaza. http://instagr.am/p/Sy54RMjA6K/  http://fb.me/28y3yduZb 

We wish the stunning Karolina Kukova a wonderful stay in Dubai!

Fashion Designers in Disney's Animated Movie!

The likes of Anna Dello Russo, Carine Roitfeld and Nicolas Ghesquiere have been transformed into Disney characters to help Minnie Mouse realise her fashion dreams for New York department store Barney's festive campaign.

Anna Dello Russo

As part of the Fifth Avenue store's 'Electric Holiday' campaign, Disney have created a 5 minute-long cartoon featuring some of fashion's best known figures in animated form.

Linda Evangelista sits next to Captain Hook on the front row

Watch as Minnie Mouse is transported into the hustle and bustle of Paris Fashion Week as she gazes longingly at a Lanvin dress in a shop window. On the way she meets the likes of Carine Roitfeld, Linda Evangelista and Alber Elbaz - the creator of her dream dress - gets papped by Steven Meisel, primped by Pat McGrath and preened by Guido, before taking to the catwalk with her fellow beloved Disney characters - Goofy in Balmain, Mickey in Balenciaga and Daisy in Dolce, plus many more.

It's the perfect meeting of fashion and fantasy - and the ending is beyond charming.

We're just wondering one thing - where's Wintour? Lol!

'Galliano's work is NO LONGER RELEVANT'!!!!

Raf Simons, the creative director of Dior, has spoken of his shamed predecessor John Galliano for the first time, saying he believes his work is no longer "relevant" as it restricts women.

Since taking the helm at Dior earlier this year, Raf Simons has kept schtum when it comes to discussing his disgraced predecessor, John Galliano - until now, that is.

Speaking in the latest issue of Vogue Australia, the Belgian designer has revealed that he no longer sees Galliano's work at the iconic design house as "relevant".

"I have so much respect for John [Galliano]'s technical skill and the fantasy, it's just something that I don't find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom," he said.

Whilst Simons is known, and indeed loved, for his minimalist approach when it comes to cut and colour, Galliano is famed for his elaborate, extroverted creations, many of which made for exciting catwalk shows but often did not translate in terms of wearability.

CHANEL CANCELLED!!!

Bad news is always best offset with some good news, so here it goes: Chanel's show-stealing, oversized hula hoop bag (below) will not be rolling its way into your local boutique, but its diminutive little sister will.

With a diameter of 24 cms, Chanel's iconic quilted bag nestles between two leather-bound hoops, and will carry a price tag of around £1,500, according to Refinery 29 .

Sadly, the large style which creative director Karl Lagerfeld revealed was for the beach - "You need space for the beach towel, huh? And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it," he explained - will not be going into production Which means that even style maven Alexa Chung, who was given a homemade edition with her initials on by chat show host Anderson Cooper, can't even get her hands on one!!

Emma Stone crowned 2012's Best Dressed, twice!!

Actress Emma Stone has topped both Vogue's and InStyle's best dressed of 2012 lists this week, making her the most stylish starlet of the year.

It seems 2012 has been quite the year for rising star Emma Stone.

Not only has the 24-year-old won a slew of acting accolades, appeared on countless magazine covers (including both the US and British editions of Vogue , one month after the other) and bagged herself Spiderman as a boyfriend, she's also scored big in the style stakes, becoming fashion's newest darling.

Style bible US Vogue apparently agree, choosing her to grace the cover of their annual 'best dressed' issue - an accolade which last year went to the sartorially-adored Olsen twins. The publication, which names the 10 most stylish stars of the year, also pledges their fashion approval of Rooney Mara, Solange Knowles, Zoe Saldana, Leelee Sobieski, Lauren Santo Domingo, Kristen Stewart, Lily Kwong, Kimberly Chandler and Dree Hemingway.

Kristen Stewart in Zuhair Murad at Twilight premiere

'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart dazzled on the red carpet at Leicester Square before having an almighty make-under.

She famously loves being comfortable in trainers (this time last year, at the London premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1 , she famously swapped her high heels for black Nikes under her Roberto Cavalli gown when no one was looking) but Kristen Stewart did at least manage to last out the red carpet part of last night's premiere in the highest of heels - and no underwear.

The 22-year-old dazzled in front of thousands of British fans (many of who had camped overnight) at the Leicester Square premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part II in a backless, lace jumpsuit by Beirut-based designer Zuhair Murad. 

The heavily embellished couture creation harked back to the cobweb-style Marchesa gown she wore to the premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman back in May, and the aforementioned Cavalli gown, and featured lace panels down the side of the legs, leaving no room whatsoever for any undercrackers.

Vogue Café and GQ Bar to open in Dubai Mall

Dubai Mall is preparing to welcome the Vogue café and a GQ bar, both titles belonging to Condé Nast.

Diversification is the name of the game over at Condé Nast. The international publishing house responsible for Vogue , Vanity Fair , Glamour and GQ already has designs on a fashion college , and is now set to conquer the Middle East with a Vogue café and GQ bar.

A new Vogue Café (there is already one in Russia) is slated to launch in Dubai by the end of the year, but this being glossy fashion bible Vogue , it will be housed inside the world's largest shoe store.

Level Shoe District, a 96,000 sq ft luxury retail space, will stock more than 250 shoe brands and is situated in Dubai Mall at the foot of the world's tallest skyscraper - the 828 metre-high Burj Khalifa.

"The expatriate community and the local Emirati community are very conscious of brands," said Stuart Nielsen, director of Conde Nast's restaurant division, which was launched in 2010. "People always love to eat and drink, and we see an opportunity because they love fashion."

The Vogue Café will not serve alcohol, but a hotel-based bar inspired by its men's title, GQ , is being plotted for launch in Dubai early next year, would.

The company is planning to open another GQ Bar in Istanbul this year, and has signed deals for Condé Nast establishments in Bangkok and Singapore, Nielsen said. It is also considering opening cafés in Mideast cities closer to Dubai, including Kuwait City and the Emirati capital, Abu Dhabi.

Alanoud Badr aka Lady Fozaza: From Bold to Baby, with Evian

Following the remarkable success gained across the Internet with their baby viral video, Evian created a T-Shirt in honor of the popular campaign. It is so irresistibly cute  that it got sold out within minutes from selling it online. You could just not but fall in love with its "awesomeness"!! The tees allow just about anyone to unveil the cool hip-hoppin baby within. The idea behind the campaign is that youth is not a matter of age, but rather a mindset. It is never about age, but it's about the spirit and energy within that makes you connect to your youth, forever… Our Alanoud Badr has been selected as one of the faces to pause for the Evian Tees, and we cannot but salute Evian for their impeccable choice. The fearless bold Lady Fozaza goes "baby" with Evian! Keep coming because you never know when we'll post Alanoud's photoshoot! 

Design your perfect LBD with LadyFozaza X Philips

Before i let out the exciting news of the chance to be able to Design your PERFECT little black dress with Designer Alanoud Badr of LadyFozaza, let me start by explaining the importance of that Little Black Dress and why every woman should have at least one in her closet~ 

Perhaps more than any other piece of clothing, the little black dress is, women have been told, the essential, the one that will take you practically anywhere. And perhaps more than any other designer, Coco Chanel was the one who made it ubiquitous. She did not invent the concept, of course, but according to Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life (by Justine Picardine, $40, amazon.com), “the little black dress was not formally identified as the shape of the future until 1926, when American Vogue published a drawing of a Chanel design.… It was an apparently simple yet elegant sheath, in black crêpe de Chine, with long, narrow sleeves, worn with a string of white pearls; and Vogue proved to be correct in the prediction that it would become a uniform.…”

So its pretty simple...

FG10 celebrates 20 years with Christian Louboutin!!

Christian Louboutin, the KING of Soles Celebrated his 20th at the Dubai Mall today around 4pm 

with a generous magic Touch, as he sat there all smiles signing 

and redesigning his work of ART on the spot for some lucky ladies!

naturally i wasnt going to resist this moment and not only did i get two of his 

Limited 20th Anniversary shoe, i had him sign it with LOVE.. 

as we spoke about my Label and my Baby "LADY FOZAZA"

which he called the Louboutin of Blazers!

A Title  i'd be happy and proud to wear

A GREAT man and a GREAT Talent.. humble and approachable..

"When a woman buys a pair of shoes, she never looks at the shoe. She stands up and looks in the mirror, she looks at the breast, the ass, from the front, from the side, blah blah blah. If she likes herself, then she considers the shoe." Chrisitan Louboutin

 "I'll do shoes for the lady who lunches, but it would be, like, 

a really nasty lunch, talking about men." -Christian Louboutin

“A good shoe is one that doesn't dress you but undresses you. So if a woman is naked, 

and wearing shoes, she should still look nude.” 
― Christian Louboutin

MY PRIDE AND JOY!!!

"The shiny red color of the soles has no function other than to identify to 

the public that they are mine. I selected the color because it is engaging, 

flirtatious, memorable and the color of passion." 

Chrisitan Louboutin
