Tom Ford denies H&M rumours

It really is been virtually two years given that we broke the news thatTom Ford may well be the next designer to join up with high street retailer H&M, and following A LOT of gossip and speculation, the man himself has spoken up. According to Grazia, Tom spoke about the persistant rumours with Fern Mallis in New York on Tuesday night. “I preserve reading that, and I discover that amusing. I’ve never had a conversation with H&M. I’m actually happy doing what I do… What excites me now is the extremely very best: the best stitching, the very best fabric, the very best top quality. And however, or fortunately, that does tend to expense income.”
Unless that’s a single hell of a curve ball, it sounds as although a Tom Ford/H&M collaboration will not be on the cards any time soon, although it’s not some thing the he should write off entirely – the preceding designer collaborations with H&M have been incredibly productive for each brands involved, selling out practically right away! Perhaps Lanvin, Comme des Garçons, Matthew Williamson, Marni, Donatella Versace and Anna Dello Russo can alter Toms thoughts…
Are there any designers in particular you’d really like to see team up with H&M? Let us know in the comments!

Yay or Nay Wednesday: Erickson Beamon Colour Me Crazy jewelry

Erickson Beamon is known for bold jewels, but their Colour Me Crazy capsule collection for Net-a-Porter undoubtedly does take it to the next level. The Swarovski crystal cuff bracelet, £650 shown at left, is an arm celebration all in itself! No want to stack bracelets and bangles for a chunky, eye-catching look!
The silver-plated bangle is encrusted with neon yellow, pink, red, blue and green stones and Swarovski crystals. You could set off the statement piece with a gray or black and white outfit, or possibly select 1 color from the bracelet to highlight.
There are also a necklace, earrings and ring in the collection. The pieces are in the usual oversized silhouette and chunky jewels that Erickson Beamon is identified for, but it really is the colors that really sets it apart and makes it perfect for spring and summer time. Especially to brighten up a gray day! It is also no big surprise they combined the far more garish stones with pretty Swarovski crystals given that they frequently operate with the brand.
3 Ways To Wear: The printed sequin skirt
As nicely as the large collage of prints we saw on the catwalks for this year (trust me, there is a lot more to come however!) there was also a notable boost in embellishment. Alongside heavy embroidery, beading and paillettes, we’ve spied beautifully comprehensive sequins in a rainbow of hues from Roberto Cavalli, ornamental oversized gems at Prada, and relaxed sequin encrusted garments at Ashish. There’s surely no hiding from the glittering world of style this year! We’ve currently shown you how to wear the sequin collar blouse, but this week we’re stepping it up with a printed sequin skirt. With it really is ombre impact print and all over embellishment, this Christopher Kane inspired piece from Warehouse is the excellent way to work the glitzy trend. Style with mismatched knitwear a’la Meadham Kirchoff for a playful weekend appear, team with a pair of seriously killer heels for a night out, or play it down by throwing on a shirt and tights for an each day outfit with a twist.

Rihanna designs her second collection for Emporio Armani
It appears that each singer has a designer inside of them just itching to get out these days, does not it? We’ve drooled more than productive ventures (Victoria Beckham) reserved our opinions more than the not so effectively received (Kanye West) and now we’re bracing ourselves for Rihanna’s second attempt at a creative outlet outside of the pop world. The singer, who previously developed a modestly sized capsule collection for Emporio Armani, is moving onto her second collection with the Italian brand, whom she has modelled for on numerous campaigns. Rihanna’s very first pieces were relatively successful, and it is nice to see that Emporio are sticking by the 24-year-old in her foray into the fashion planet.
In correct Rihanna style, the garments have a grungy influence, with tartan turn ups and distressed denim. The shapes are equivalent to her final collection and should as a result sell just as nicely – the slouchy t-shirts will undoubtedly fly out when they ultimately hit shops. According to Fashionista, underwear will be a comfortable affair made from stretch cotton and ranging from a vest and shorts set to some glittery push-up bras.

Karolina Kurkova’s golden Met Gala moment in a custom-made Rachel Zoe design!
![]()
WOW.
That is fairly considerably all I can say with regards to Karolina Kurkova’s jaw-dropping sparkle creation at the 2012 Met Gala. Custom-made by Rachel Zoe (yep, the Zoestar!) Karolina in all her statuesque glory looked like a real-life Academy Award figurine in the floor-length golden style.

The rose gold sequin quantity included long sleeves, a high neck, open back and matching turban. Attending the event alongside Rachel, Karolina also brought with her a clutch produced from similar material and her hands were covered in giant gold rings. Along with Christina Ricci’s Met Gala outfit by Thakoon, this has to be 1 of the most memorable looks of the night and extremely a lot what yet another supermodel Iman may put on.
