Kim & Kourtney Kardashian Show Off Right & Wrong

Kim & Kourtney Kardashian Show Off Right & Wrong Way To Wear Peplum

The reality star sisters looked like they coordinated their outfits — but unfortunately we weren’t totally loving both looks! Read on for tips on how to wear peplum the right way, (and how you can avoid Kim’s unflattering outfit situation!).

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian both stepped out for a South Beach shopping trip on Dec. 12 — and it looks like they planned to match in peplum! The sisters, who are currently filming Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, sported similar looks — but while they showed off the same trend, we had two totally different opinions on their style choices! Kourtney looked so chic, colorblocking with her choice of separates, while Kim wound up showing off more than she bargained for, spilling out of her crop-top and skirt combo.

Kim loves putting her assets on full display in tight clothing, but in this instance her fashion choice totally let her down. While I like the idea of balancing a high-waisted skirt with a crop top, Kim was spilling out of the space in between her top and bottom — and this only happened cause her skirt was just a drop too tight! Had she sized up with her skirt I’m sure we would have had a totally different opinion of her outfit — although honestly, I just don’t think the tight-knit crop top did anything to enhance her figure in a positive way, (and it’s rare that I see a crop top I don’t like). Had Kim opted for a blouse tucked in to her skirt we probably would have been loving the outfit. Her leather skirt has the potential to be fierce, but instead she wound up looking frumpy.

We love the way Kim flaunts her curves when she looks chic, not sloppy! We’ve embraced her and her va-va-voom curves, but now it’s time for Kim to do the same and start dressing for her body type. Honestly, we’re surprised by her recent style blunder, simply because we would expect her to know better — but I guess the occasional ‘what was I wearing moment’ can happen to the best of them.

So, how can you avoid Kim’s fashion mishap? It’s simple! Make sure you aren’t squeezing yourself into a skirt that’s too small — or a look that’s not flattering on you! It’s important to recognize that not everyone can pull off an awesome outfit. Sometimes it’s better to skip trying a trend rather than wearing something you don’t look great in.

If you want to try the peplum trend, I suggest taking tips from Kourtney. I like the way she used a belt to define her waist, really accentuating her figure. The structured shoulders on the zip-up, coral top complimented her olive peplum skirt. A peplum can work wonders on a variety of body types. If you’re curvy like the Kardashian gals, it can define your curves and really enhance your assets. If you have more of a boyish body, it could give the illusion of having more curves — and the ruffle can also hide a little tummy if you’re trying to conceal a little extra weight.

Carolina Herrera: 'I can get ready in 10 minutes'

Elegance is a state of mind, says Carolina Herrera. It certainly worked for her business, which is now a billion-dollar global empire.

Like Valentino, who recently shared his dismay over the sartorial disarray in which Brits arrive at the theatre nowadays, Caroline Herrera is not unreservedly won over by modern dress codes. Growing up in Caracas in the Fifties and Sixties had its challenges, but Kim Kardashian's fashion sense wasn't one of them.

"Everyone was very, very chic. You either went to Paris for your clothes or you had them made in Caracas. I would like women to feel they could be glamorous and elegant," muses Herrera, from the far side of her cream and black office, high above the disappointing exhibits disporting themselves down on the pavements of Manhattan's somewhat scruffy Garment District. "Unfortunately there's a lot of confusion today over what is sexy and what is vulgar. It's horrifying. They say, 'Oh, that girl is so sexy', and she turns around and the dress is four sizes too small. Or she's wearing so much stuff, you wonder how long it took her to get ready." Herrera's uniform - big skirts, tailored shirts, mannish trousers - is so honed that she claims she can get ready for the grandest do in 10 minutes. "But women don't want to be called elegant now," she reflects, "because they connect it with old-fashioned. But elegance is not old‑fashioned."

H&M to launch global clothes collecting initiative

Customers donating unwated clothing from any brand will receive £5 to spend in store as H&M strive to reduce the environmental impact of clothes on landfill sites.

H&M launch global clothes collecting initiative

Swedish retail giant H&M has today announced plans to offer a global clothes collecting service.

In selected stores from February 2013, customers will be able to discard of unwanted garments into H&M shops - regardless of their origins, in exchange for a £5 discount voucher for each bag donated. The voucher can then be used against a transactional purchase of 200Dhs or more.

The collected clothes are then handled by H&M's partner, I:Collect, which provides the infrastructure in which consumer goods are repeatedly reprocessed and made available for new use.

Mary Katrantzou, from catwalk to Christmas trees

London Fashion Week designer Mary Katrantzou has designed a two-dimensional Christmas tree for London's Design Museum.

British Fashion Awards-nominated Mary Katrantzou has turned her hand to decking out the London Design Museum in her signature, colourful prints this Christmas.

The Greek-born designer, who is one of the headline talents at London Fashion Week, has reworked a print from her current autumn/winter 2012 collection, which she says was "inspired by formal gardens and artful box parterres" for the two-dimensional, vinyl design.

Measuring three metres in height, the mainly green, maze-like print featuring bows in lime green and blue, adorns the outer wall of the River Thames-side museum.

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.

London Fashion Week: Tom Ford spring/summer 2013

Chastity and perversity are the twin themes of Tom Ford's spring/summer 2013 collection.

Tom Ford's style certainly polarises opinion these days, between those who find it backward looking and those who regard it as classic. The vote splits as soon as you're ushered through Ford HQ in Victoria and into the lifts by the same breed of chisel-jawed, side parted, uncannily smooth haired flunkies as the ones who used to line the route to the Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent shows a decade ago. All of them, it turns out, hired for the day from a model agency.

Some like the intimacy and the wink to the past (or maybe it's more of a mugging). Others, not so much. "A good journalist friend told me to quit talking at these things," Ford confessed, as he tapped away on his iPad, cueing up the models and controlling the soundtrack.

Naturally being Ford, it wasn't an entirely wordless affair, which is a good thing. The banter is what personalises these presentations. Two words in particular couldn't be dispensed with. "Chastity and perversity," he explained, were the twin themes of this collection.

Chastity came in the guise of camel cashmere sweaters, taupe skirts and long high necked black paper taffeta column dresses; perversity showed up in the form of black patent zip pencil skirts, caped backs, and the multi buckled leather strap, bondage sandal-boots.

There were plenty of what have become classic Ford tropes: backless black fitted chiffon dresses with cupped breasts (very 50 Shades of Grey ) and long, slashed, beaded skirts and skinny pants, updated this time thanks to an injection of sportiness.

Karl Lagerfeld offers his view on ‘sexy’ Carole Middleton

While Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld is no great fan of Pippa Middleton, he thinks her mother is 'very sexy'.

While we all know what Karl Lagerfeld makes of the Duchess of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton - he famously remarked that she "should show only her back" - he has much admiration for her 57-year-old mother Carole.

"I think Carole is very sexy" he told Grazia. "I think the mother is sexier than the daughters. There is something full of life about her. For a woman who must be 50 or so, I think she's great. She's full of energy."

The spotlight was on mother of the bride Carole at last year's royal wedding, where she looked elegant amid the royal guests in a powder blue creation by Catherine Walker and especially trim thanks to a rumoured stint on the high-protein Dukan diet.

Duchess Kate and Carole are even known to share clothes, with Kate recently borrowing a royal blue dress by Reiss from her mother's wardrobe for a public outing.

"I Love Kate Middleton" added Lagerfeld. "Kate can try anything. For make-up, she has no limits."

The multi-tasking designer also tried to explain the venomous comments he made towards 28-year-old Pippa. "I only meant I don't think her make-up is right," he said, adding: "she has a roundish face and round eyes and should pick another make-up for the eyes." However he did conclude with: "Her sister's more beautiful."

Chanel ordered to pay 960,000 AED in counterfeiting case

Chanel has been ordered to pay the sum to their former knitwear supplier, World Tricot, who accused them of copying one of their designs.

Chanel has been ordered to pay a former knitwear supplier, World Tricot, £161,000 (€200,000) by the Paris Court of Appeal.

The ruling is the latest twist in an ongoing legal battle between the two companies.

In 2009, World Tricot attempted to sue Chanel for £3.6 million: £1.3 million for wrongful termination of the business relationship, and £2.3 million for alleged counterfeiting of a white crochet pattern. Chanel denied all accusations and the commercial court ruled in their favour ordering World Tricot to pay Chanel £161,000 euros for "public disparagement".

However, the court decided on Friday to overturn that ruling and instead ordered Chanel to pay World Tricot.

"This is the first time we have faced this type of situation, although we work with close to 400 suppliers. This very specific case is in no way a reflection of the quality of our relations with our suppliers," Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel fashion told WWD .

Chanel says they will decide "shortly" whether or not to appeal the decision to the French Supreme Court.

Marks & Spencer need to be more stylish!

Lisa Armstrong: 'Marks & Spencer's clothes don't need to get more fashionable - or less fashionable. They just need to be more stylish.'

Poor Marks & Spencer. As if a seven per cent slump in womenswear sales weren't bad enough, it has to endure endless journalists telling it where it went wrong. Too much fashion, not enough editing, is one theory I've read this week. Not enough fashion, is another.

M&S clothes don't need to get more fashionable - or less fashionable. They just need to be more stylish. That starts with the cut. Because it comes to something when your 71-year-old mother says she finds M&S frumpy. And she's not looking for a pair of this summer's hot-pants or crop-tops. At least my 71-year-old mother isn't. She wants well-cut trousers and tops that flatter and fit, in good-quality fabrics. She's a trim size 12 - she's not asking for radical surgical enhancement. And she's not so naïve she expects M&S to compete on price with Primark. If she wants Primark, she'll go to Primark. But she doesn't want Primark.

Can it really be that hard? Remember when M&S's underwear was truly grizzly: cheap-looking lace and satins and ludicrously over-embellished pointy cup-shapes? After years of criticism and slipping sales, the lingerie team finally got its act together and combined its undeniably innovative fabric technology and scale of economy to deliver some excellent bra shapes.

FG10 reveals Spring 2012 MOST WANTED Designer Handbag

And the winner is.............. Céline!!!!

As hearts fluttered over the Trapeze, Céline enthusiasts wondered how Phoebe Philo would ever create another bag as desirable. Not only that, but you also have the Céline Nano... the baby-sized luggage mini with an elongated strap option so you can take the tiny tote wherever you go.

A jet-black contrast to the singer's relaxed silver attire, Rihanna makes another style statement with her Céline Nano which she's hardly been photographed without over recent weeks.

Blake Lively is twice as nice for Gucci Premiere advert

Actress Blake Lively's new Gucci campaign has been leaked, bringing on a slight case of deja-vu.

Blake Lively for Gucci Premiere

Only 10 days ago, Gucci announced that it had signed up 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively to front the campaign for its new couture-inspired scent, Gucci Première. And already, someone has leaked the images, revealing a smoldering Lively in her backless sequin gown clad glory.

Captured by fashion photography duo Mert and Marcus, the black and white ad reeks of Old Hollywood glamour - an aesthetic which was very much key to Gucci.

Named after Gucci's couture line, Gucci Première is a scent for a woman "living her moment, whether it's on the red carpet or at a private dinner", according to the brand's creative director, Frida Giannini.

The new scent is set to launch first in the UK at the end of the month exclusively at Harrods and Selfridges before going on general sale in September.

Blake Lively for Chanel

Last year, the 24-year-old was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag campaign, resulting in an advert which also showed a reflection of Lively. 

It seems the camera can’t get enough of Blake… and neither can we!!
