With this particular hashtag Twitterverse responded to the yesterday's Closing Ceremony of Olympic Games 2012. An important role in the ceremony was given to British fashion: several huge billboards, picturing British top-models wearing exquisite garments by British designers, were displayed in the center of the main stage. Kate Moss (in Alexander McQueen), Naomi Campbell (also wearing Alexander McQueen), Stella Tennant (in Christopher Kane), Lily Cole (in Erdem), Karen Elson (in Burberry), Jourdan Dunn (in Jonathan Saunders and Stephen Jones), Georgia May Jagger (in Victoria Beckham), Lily Donaldson (in Vivienne Westwood) and David Gandy (in Paul Smith). Shortly after their appearance the posters revealed the fashion-stars themselves. They walked rather fiercely the improvised runways - the lines of Union Jack (main stage decoration). The looks were created by Sam McKnight (famous British hair artist) and Val Garland (renowned British make-up artist).
We hope that after watching the ceremony, Russian Olympic committee hasn't decided to invite Viatcheslav Zaitsev and Valentin Yudashkin to Sochi's events in order to show 'Russian fashion'...

MODEL Monday

Hi! We survived exams, disappointments in fashion industry, tiredness, first summer heat, and then we stopped whining and complaining and wrote a post.

We've been waiting for the event, which is the subject of today's post, for several months - since February 2011, when a huge diamond sparkled for the first time on supermodel's finger and reps of both sides - Kate's and The Kills guitarist's Jamie Hince - confirmed the engagement rumours. Last weekend (from Friday July 1st to Sunday July 3rd) runaway star and British rock star tied the knot in the Cotswolds, UK. The guest list was impressive: Karl Lagerfeld, Daphne Guinness, Emmanuelle Alt, Carine Roitfeld, Anna Wintour, Stefano Pilati (who handled his job - suits for the groom and for his 'best woman' The Kills vocalist Alison Mosshart - amazingly well), Marc Jacobs, Mario Testino, Lara Stone, Jude Law and other A-list guests. Let's not forget about Jefferson Hack, EIC of Dazed&Confused, Kate's ex-boyfriend, father of her daughter Lila Grace, he also attended the ceremony. Scandalous and unpopular particularly this season John Galliano created the wedding dress (attended the ceremony as well, despite the displease of the fashion world with his recent behaviour). We have to admit that we love Kate's dress and we are very happy that she didn't follow the advice of British Vogue's EIC and didn't choose Alexander McQueen, because the main reason we love fashion is its variety.

During the festivities Kate also wore a full-length dress, a mini-dress and a suit by Stella McCartney, who was among the guests as well.

And a bit of Cotswolds:

Let's wish the newlyweds a long and happy life together!

PS: several guests had to leave the celebration early because of another big summer wedding - the one of Monaco's Prince Albert II and Charlene Wittstock. We'll talk about it soon.

And now... the main question: the wedding dress - YAY or NAY?
