And Another One! Now Cara Delevingne Stars In Fendi’s Campaign Shot By Karl Lagerfeld
Posted on January 14, 2014 at 3:15 pm
In case you were in any doubt that Cara Delevingne is on top model form, she has bagged ANOTHER major campaign. She’s the face of Saint Laurent, Mulberry, Pepe Jeans and YSL beauty, and now she’s added… drumroll please… FENDI to her long list of Autumn Winter 2013 campaigns. Jeez does this girl ever take a day off!
For Cara’s FENDI camapign she goes on a Roman Holiday with model Saskia De Braw, as the pair pose in FENDI furs and vibrant sky scraper heels on a rooftop in Roma. The campaign called ‘Roman Skyline’ was shot by the one and only Karl Lagerfeld.
It’s hardly a shocker that FENDI chose Cara as their latest face, as she walked in their Autumn 2013 show at Milan Fashion Week in an oversized fur, black trousers and a ‘woah there’ purple mohawk. Remember that
Beady eyed fashionistas out there will notice that in the campaign she is wearing the same orange, black and white furry shoes and Barbie pink and black furry clutch that she wore on the catwalk back in February. Someone clearly did a good job of strutting in those booties. Her purple mohawk didn’t make it’s way into the campaign, but she makes up for it with a spiky high pony.
Karl has a bit of a soft spot for our Cara (like the rest of planet fashion) as she has posed with him for Plastic Magazine and starred in a Autumn Winter 2013 Chanel video, clutching a mini Karl Lagerfeld doll. He has also made a cameo or two on Cara D’s Instagram feed.
Karl Lagerfeld said of the ad: ‘For our 2013-2014 Fall/Winter season, we sought to celebrate the love between FENDI and Rome with a very feminine campaign evoking a chic and modern Roman holiday.’

VIDEO: Rihanna Gives Us A Tour Of Her Second Collection For River Island
Posted on January 12, 2014 at 5:37 pm
Today we have a first look at Rihanna’s second collection for high street giant River Island, and just like last time it’s an explosion of all things RiRi. It’s focused on urban sports lux, with camouflage, bomber jackets, leather bra tops, cropped hoodies and over the knee boots. Urban, brave, with plenty of attitude – it’s so very RIHANNA.
With 80 RiRi pieces River Island will be a one stop shop for a Rihanna-over when the collection lands on 12th September. The sportier Autumn collection will hit the shops first, followed by a more glamorous winter collection in November in time for the party season. There is also a Limited Edition Collection with embossed leather jackets and trousers, printed camo snakeskin leather skirts and boots, of which only 100 of each item has been made.
The folks over at River Island have shared a video of Rihanna playing designer, looking over her second collection. Expect to see as much River Island as Chanel jewellery on RiRi’s Instagram page as in the vid she gets giddy holding up camo dresses and trying on the leather bombers. The beanie-clad superstar gushes about her own collection saying ‘When can I have my order’, ‘I want to wear everything. That’s such a great feeling’ and ‘Y’all about to bring the entire game up.’
Last time Rihanna’s navy flocked to River Island to pick up the crop tops and cocktail dresses, so we can expect to see another fashion stampeed come September. Last time around she had Jourdan Dunn as her campaign star, but perhaps this time she’ll recruit BFF Cara Delevingne to pose.
We’re keeping our fingers crossed for another RiRi fashion week appearance come September. Until then, take a look at Rihanna’s greatest style hits in the gallery below…

Fashion in Motion: Celebrating 25 Years Of Jenny Packham With Free Catwalk Shows At The V&A!
Posted on January 10, 2014 at 11:18 am
We’ve long swooned over Jenny Packham’s super-feminine gowns but it was the Duchess of Cambridge’s consistent championing of the Brit designer that really made us fall in love. Kate Middleton has oft turned to Packham creations for swanky royal events so no doubt she’ll be delighted as we are to hear that the V&A’s next Fashion in Motion will celebrate the designer’s 25th anniversary.
Yes, on 19th July, the Museum will host a series of four free catwalk shows in its Raphael Gallery, presenting highlights of Packham’s collections to date. Think glamorous evening dresses and luxurious embellishments seen on Hollywood stars and royalty alike. As a sneak preview, Grazia Daily has an exclusive first look at some of the dresses to be featured…
1. A full-length pale pink dress with silver beading
Speaking about the dress, Packham herself told us, ‘This dress was chosen as it is one of my favourites from the Spring Summer 2011 collection. The beading is intricate and beautiful and inspired by magical moonlight parties for exquisite youth. Sandra Bullock also wore this to the 2011 Golden Globes.’
2. A nude dress with red beading
As for the nude dress with red beading, the designer had this to say, ‘This dress is from the Spring Summer 2012 collection, which references the hues within a rainbow. The beading on this dress is very romantic and delicate and gives the illusion of falling petals. This dress was worn by Taylor Swift to the 46th annual CMA Awards last year.’
3. Finale dress from the Autumn Winter 2013 collection; 4. Spring Summer 2012 collection
Other dresses that are set to grace the catwalk are a full length tulle dress with cutaway black lace, modelled by Erin O’Connor for the Autumn Winter 2005 collection, alongside a shocking pink silk chiffon dress from the Spring Summer 2009 catwalk.

The Weekend’s Best Dressed: Kim Sears And Andy Murray Wear Burberry To Wimbledon Winner’s Ball
Posted on January 8, 2014 at 9:16 am
This weekend’s best dressed round up has been hijacked by all things Wimbledon. Have you heard that Andy Murray is won Last night the British champ and his glossy girlfriend went to the Wimbledon Winner’s Ball, both all dressed up in Burberry. Forget sweatbands and white shorts, Andy Murray sharpened up in a classic tux and bow tie. Kim Sears wore a Burberry Prorsum black gown with gold beading on the top and a deep V neckline.
On centre court Kim Sears looked lovely in a crochet sleeved mint green Victoria Victoria Beckham dress, which she matched with her wedges and trusty Mulberry bag. But bad news for K Sears copy cats, the dress which is worth £925 is now sold out. Oh and the hair, the hair was bigger and better than ever.
Victoria Beckham was also in the Royal Box in a lingerie-inspired Louis Vuitton slip dress. Just last week she tweeted a picture while on set with fashion photographer Boo George in the very same grey check, spaghetti strap dress with lingerie-inspired lace detailing. A souvenir from the shoot, perhaps
It was also the Barclaycard British Summer Time Concert over the weekend with the Rolling Stones performing in Hyde Park. Cara Delevingne stuck to her tomboy staples in a grey tee, white trainers, black leggings, statement round sunnies and a black, yellow and orange headband. She topped off the look with a leather jacket thrown over her shoulder. New model mummy Lara Stone was also at the concert, wearing a dog tank top, black jeans, black booties and a leather jacket.
As for off-duty style Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gave us a masterclass in airport dressing as she arrived in Australia looking flawless in ice blue Pierre Balmain jeans, a snuggly coat-igan, IRO ‘Merrick’ sand booties, a straw hat and a giant red Gucci bag.
Take a look through the gallery above to see the best dressed stars of the weekend…

Florence had a brief romance with Prince Harry when they were on a break, but she quickly got back together with Henry who then proposed last Christmas.
Poppy also posted a picture of her own wedding outfit, as she posed in her Gucci peasant dress with a very revealing deep V neckline with a glass of beer in her hand.
Victoria Beckham spent the day at Wimbledon yesterday, slipping into a Louis Vuitton nightie dress to watch Murray be crowned Wimbledon champion. She shared pictures of some seriously chic Wimbledon straw boaters and a glass of bubbly and strawberry scones.
Rita Ora has been making all of her followers rather jealous this weekend as she has been posting lots of beach snaps from a yacht in Ibiza. Elsewhere on Instagram, Grimmy posted a picture of Mossy lying on some grass, Alessandra Ambrosio snuggled up with a lizard and Anna Dello Russo dressed up as Marie Antoinette for a Dolce & Gabbana ball in Milan.
Cara Delevingne posted a special thank you to her fans over the weekend, with a message on her manicure, but she also got into Vine and posted a video of her two new tattoos. We knew these would have their own personality on Cara’s Twitter feed.
