GUESS FALL 2014 COLLECTION

American lifestyle brand "Guess" has recently launched their 2014 Fall Collection.  The brand has always been famous for their trendy denims as well as their youthful fashion campaigns all around the world. Recently I've been following the latest season of 'America's next top model 2.0', were girls and GUYS get to battle it out for a $100 000 contract, to shoot an add campaign with Guess, for the first time ever!!!  Besides the usual dramas that comes with reality tv, I got to see and learn so much about what actually goes into shooting these Guess campaigns we see on every back cover of our magazines and what a big deal it means if you are dubbed a "Guess Girl" or guy in the modelling industry.

Any way...

The latest collection will include unique textures and novel trimmings, offering a trendy garment but still holds that true aesthetic value we all as consumers look for when buying clothing.

The Woman

For women, detailing is key this season, so the designers at guess have catered for this and created pieces that have lots of detailing such as lace insets, cut out patterns, zippers as well as studs to give these garments a more edgier look and feel.  Since it's a fall collection, most (if not all) the pieces are denim, and they range from distressed jeans, Jumpsuits, Studded jackets, army green skinny jeans as well as hints of camo here and there.

The Men

Vintage influences lend inspiration to the menswear collection, with washed out denims, washed out chambray shirts and denim jackets being staple items from the collection.  Embroided button downs, plaid printed and faded denim shits compliment the western image guess usually holds on to.  There was also some mixing of textures and fabrics in this collection and some of which are leather biker jackets, double breasted cardigans as well as valvet blazers that creates a modern, refined look for the fashion forward guys out there.  Colours such as deep red and indigo were used to add a touch of sophistication to the collection.

This Collection is set to hit South African shores February 2014; along with an assortment of accessories including Footwear, handbags, eye-wear, belts and loads of jewellery.

So keep and eye out for this... 

Do have a gorgeous week ahead.

Style spotting

 

This past weekend I hung out with two of my cousins to indulge in complete laziness, DVDs and a hole lot of junk food.  I took a few snaps of what they wore to a Sunday lunch yesterday afternoon.  They both wore printed Maxi's as they're so cool and easy to wear on hot suuny days like yesterday.  the 17-year-old fashionista paired this printed maxi skirt with a vintage leather belt, her mothers vintage Ray-Bans (from 16 years ago), a mustard cropped shirt and some comfy moccasins.  Meanwhile the other sister kept it cool with a wide stripe maxi skirt a plaited belt, aviators, a crop top and some easy going havianas.

 

enjoy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Street Life - Street Lights

 

If you're from around Cape Town, you must be aware of the hot summer nights we've been blessed with the past couple of weeks.  Being a lone ranger I'm almost never seen without my camera around my neck, bothering random passing folk with my annoying flash and enjoying the summer nights before the colder months to follow.  So in the week I took to to my hood and played around with the fire work function on my camera as I've never had the chance to check out all the little features yet.  I captured everything from street lights to car lights and had no idea that this would be the outcome.  The lights captured here are so amazing and my own 'little artistic debut' as I would like to call it ( If I had my way).  The pictures show so much depth and emotion Im even contemplating making a canvas out of one.

Check them out.

Barbara Palvin for Terry Richardson

When world famous photographer 'Terry Richardson' teams up with the hottest celebs , you can be assured the outcome will be fierce and dorky at the same time.  Mostly shot in Black & White and channelling the inner personality of stars, his pictures are amazing with out a doubt.  He's photographed almost every 'IT' girl out there and befriended the most popular people in the industry.  Terry recently did a shoot with young and gorgeous Victoria Secret Model 'Barbara Palvin' who was rumoured to be dating "singing sensation" 'The Biebs' not to long ago ( safe to say she has denied every and any rumour of that sort ).  What I love most about Terry's work is that It's never done in an editorial kinda way.  Just him some lighting, his camera, who ever his shooting, no fancy clothes or make-up, yet he nails every single shoot he does.

(So I know my obsession with models has become a problem, but I can't deal.  So bear with me?)

On that note, I wish you all a jolly weekend filled with fashion, love and endless joy.

Stay tunned for more cool posts to follow.
