Chanel Cruise 2013

The show was opened by this season sweetheart Cara Delevingne. It took place in Versaille. In context of François Hollande win in the presidential race, the clothes, inspired by the times of Marie Antoinette (and considering the place) and Louis XIV royal court, drew a lot of attention.

Personally we loved the hats: [is it possible to make those as a DIY home project?]

Fashion Pact

Today we learnt that starting with their June issues 19 international editions of Vogue magazine would follow the new policy concerning their choice of models:

“1. We will not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder. We will work with models who, in our view, are healthy and help to promote a healthy body image.

2. We will ask agents not to knowingly send us underage girls and casting directors to check IDs when casting shoots, shows and campaigns.

3. We will help to structure mentoring programs where more mature models are able to give advice and guidance to younger girls, and we will help to raise industry-wide awareness through education, as has been integral to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Health Initiative.

4. We will encourage producers to create healthy backstage working conditions, including healthy food options and a respect for privacy. We will encourage casting agents not to keep models unreasonably late.

5. We encourage designers to consider the consequences of unrealistically small sample sizes of their clothing, which limits the range of women who can be photographed in their clothes, and encourages the use of extremely thin models.

6. We will be ambassadors for the message of healthy body image.” 


And now let's take a look at the ultimate US Vogue photoshoot [May 2012; "Modern Times", Natalia Vodianova and Michael Fassbender photographed by Craig McDean]:
