Top Model-final will be Live from Fashion Week

NZNTM judges Chris Sisarich, Sara Tetro and Colin Mathura-Jeffree

The season finale of New Zealand’s Next-Top-Model will be broadcast live from the New Zealand Fashion Week, with the finalists walking in one of the event’s biggest runway shows.

The final three competitors will take to the catwalk to determine who will-win the third season of the reality programme, which sees one aspiring model win prizes which include a modelling contract and introductions to overseas agencies.

New Zealand's Next-Top-Model producer John McDonald says the collaboration is something he’s wanted to do since the series began, but this is the first time the scheduling has lined up.

“This is the first time in three cycles that the filming of New Zealand's Next Top Model has coincided with New Zealand Fashion Week and it seemed the perfect-opportunity for us to work together,” he says.

The final will air on September 2 at 7.30pm.

There are currently nine girls still in the-competition.

Fairy-tale moment of Student's fashion

Students on the catwalk: the men's design was crafted by Trish, the gown by Cynthia.

In the spirit of shows like Project Runway, this year's finale of the highly anticipated fashion fundraising event STYLEAID will showcase 13 up and coming student designers.

It is a tradition in the fashion world that the show finale is reserved for the most coveted of looks-and-this year's fashion and textile students from around Perth will be basking in the glory.

One of Perth's most prominent fashion figures and STYLEAID creative director Aly May put the call out to WA design institutions six months ago, offering them the opportunity to have student design work featured alongside other designers including Aurelio Costarella and Vivienne Westwood on the catwalk.

Much like a challenge seen-on-Project Runway, prospective participants were instructed to create one outfit that incorporated the colour indigo which was inspired by the violin. With this in mind, students were asked to sketch their interpretation of the event's opulent theme.

Aurelio Costerella brand-manager Paul O'Connor was one of the judges who combed through over 50 entries along with Morrison's Liz Halse and United Constructions designers Jill Crabb and Helen Miraudo.

"The brief was to create something non-traditional and non-conservative, something that they could really use their imagination to create a look with while still experimenting with their own style," Mr O'Connor said.

"We were looking for diversity in the selection-and-also people that were putting a new twist on the theme, without going for the obvious."

"STYLEAID has always had a student element but it has always been an individual collection."

"It has normally been more established designers who have shown at STYLEAID, so that's what is exciting for the students, the fact that they get to showcase alongside designers like Vivienne Westwood and Aurelio Costeralla. It gives them a better insight into making something catwalk ready-and-having it sit alongside more establish names," he added.

The student garments are exclusive, one-off designs, which will close the show of the July 29 event.

In addition to a turn on the catwalk each garment was styled and photographed-by-emerging creative team All of the Above Creative, lead by local arts and fashion editor and Emma Bergmeier.

The student designers, along with STYLEAID veterans including Garth Cook and Ae`lkemi designer Alvin Fernandez will begin preparing-their-looks for the catwalk at the first model fitting which will be held over the weekend.

STYLEAID has been raising-funds-and awareness for the WA AIDS Council for over 14 years. This year's event will be held at the Burswood Grand Ballroom on July 29 and a limited number of tickets are still-available.

Beautiful Colorful Fashion Wedding Dresses

The color is one of the hottest trends for wedding dresses! What started about a decade ago with the legendary blue belt dress Amsale has expanded and evolved into a wedding dress with colorful accents more. Is your style a little pink or red extravaganza of all, examine the ideas of the beautiful to wear a colorful wedding dress.

The current trend in wedding dresses is to infuse a little of color. Beading, sequins, sashes, and embroidery in black, red, blue, and purple are all popular choices for modern brides. Choosing a gown in ivory is different enough from white and off-white gowns, but still simple and classic looking. Ivory is a timeless color that may even look better on some brides than shades of white.

The collection of Pretty Colorful Wedding Gowns of Barbie Bridal is a delicious candy buffet of beautiful, colorful wedding dresses that would make Princess Bride swoon. Above, sweet distinctive pink and black layered dress sold macaroons. Here, light blue wedding dresses with white bows. If you prefer a more casual effect, light yellow flowers would be lovely with a blue wedding dress.

Beautiful Kids Wedding Dress Fashion Design

Dress not only fit for use for the young alone, the children will also look beautiful even if they wear a cute dress. Dress is used of course not much different from the design to dress teens. But the kids do not get eliminated from the design. Beautiful black satin bodice with white organza skirt with black satin edging to bottom of skirt. Embellished with black organza ribbon detail. Lined and netted for extra volume. Great winter party or flower girl dress.

We love this dress! Brown stretchy velvet bodice with long sleeves and greeny blue organza skirt with embroidered chocolate brown overlay. There are tiny sequins in the embroidery which shimmer as the light catches them.

Dior couture dazzling but erratic

Dior creative director Bill Gaytten sent out this homage to the sad clown Pierrot at the end of the first show he did in 15 years without John Galliano.

By Jeanne BekerFashion Columnist

PARIS:- Colourful mosaic appliqués, off-beat geometric headpieces, tiers of chiffon on grand ball gowns, and glittering confetti paillettes should have made for a joyful buzz inside the tent on the-grounds of the Musée Rodin. Instead, the erratic Dior haute couture collection left many fashion insiders scratching their-heads, lamenting the loss of the house’s creative director, John Galliano, and longing for just--the right knight in shining armour to be named as his replacement.
Earlier this year, just before-the fall ready to wear-collections got underway, the disgraced Galliano was dumped by Dior amid a blaze of controversy. A video showing the genius-British designer praising Hitler and making other racist remarks went viral, and within days Galliano was ousted-from the house after 15 years of exquisite collections and some of the most theatrically impressive-presentations in fashion. Citing the pressures of his job as well as drugs and alcohol as the reason for his inexcusable behaviour, many have opined that Galliano committed career-suicide. Judgment will passed on Sept. 8, when a verdict is expected in the trial on charges of public insult. Meanwhile, LVMH, the powerful luxury goods group that-owns Dior, is taking its time naming a successor to Galliano.

“We want to find a long-term solution,” stressed Dior president Sydney Toledano in an interview after the show. While several names have been bandied about for the potential-post, from Haider Ackermann and Riccardo Tisci to Azzedine Alaia, there hasn’t been any news. In the meantime, 51-year-old Bill Gaytten, who worked alongside Galliano for 23 years, has been named creative director of Galliano’s-namesake label (also controlled by LVMH) and oversaw the hotly anticipated Dior couture-collection.

Of all the impressive-labels owned by LVMH, Dior is considered to be the jewel in its crown. Unquestionably, the team is known as one of the most accomplished in the-business. And there’s no doubt that Gaytten, an expert cutter and pattern maker, is a most talented-designer.

But many-insiders who saw Monday’s Dior show felt the magic was missing. Though its signature 1947 New Look silhouette was out in full force, with several gargantuan ball gowns upping the fantasy-ante, there didn’t seem to be a cohesive story going on.

Gaytten said he-wanted to create a very modern collection, and the team drew inspiration from Italian Memphis Group architect Ettore Sottsass, French art director Jean Paul Goude and Toronto-born architect-Frank Ghery. However, the resulting hodgepodge of ideas came off as a kind of pop pastiche. The appearance of St. Louis model Karlie Kloss at the show’s end, dressed as the sad clown-Pierrot in an elaborate black and white creation, served as a poignant punctuation mark perhaps acknowledging the longing this house has for a hero to take it into a new age.

Post-show, I asked Kloss-how she felt doing the Dior show without Galliano. She looked at me wistfully and quickly changed the subject “I’m just thrilled to be able to wear such amazing things,” she insisted. “Just Look at this outfit!” she gushed, pointing out her lavish, ruffled tulle collar. “Isn’t it gorgeous?”

Some are suggesting it’s the beginning of a new era in fashion, one in which celebrity-designers do not helm houses and it’s about “the workmanship of the ateliers, what the team produces together,” starchitect-Peter Marino said in an interview. But others, like the iconic Marisa Berenson, believe a fashion house, especially with the kind of huge legacy that Dior has, “needs a visionary at its helm for direction.”

Then there are those who simply long for the good old days. “I just wish they’d give Galliano a second chance,” confided New York’s Joyce Samuels, a Dior client-for over 40 years. Samuels, decked out in a pastel floral coat with matching big-brimmed hat from the garden inspired collection Galliano presented for Dior Couture last year, knows it’s a daunting challenge.

But, as Berenson-noted, “fashion is always changing, and we always do manage to pick ourselves up and keep on going.”

The fashion-world is watching as Dior finds its way.
