Fashion Face Off: Kendall Jenner and Brooklyn Decker in Altuzarra’s Spring 2012 tropical prints
Altuzarra’s Spring 2012 tropical prints are turning into a big story for 2012. Not only have they been well-liked in editorials, but Cheryl Cole wore the tropical bird print blazer in her Contact My Name video. Here we see Kendall Jenner in a black-trimmed crew neck shirt off the runway paired with Sachin + Babi shorts for Teen Vogue magazine. Brooklyn Decker wore the print in a sleeveless leather-trimmed dress similar to the tropical-print silk crepe de chine dress, £910.
Each ladies paired their colorful bold prints with white – Jennar with her summer time-perfect shorts and Decker with white cut-out heels. I believe this was a intelligent move. The safer solution would be matching the black trim in the pieces, but the white picks up on the white in the print and tends to make it much more summer suitable.
Otherwise, these looks are bit diverse. Kendall’s look is pretty casual and looks like it’s straight out of the Hamptons, albeit a bit bold for that preppy enclave. Decker’s appear is more city cock-tail hour. The print actually operates in each scenarios.
Is Kanye West the Murky Dismal to Kim Kardashian’s Rainbow Brite?
Last week, Kanye West took to Twitter to rant about his several fashion ‘hates’– but he noticeably left out a thing he apparently has a significant issue with, or at least when worn by the individuals closest to him: Color. One of Kanye West’s individual assistants when informed us that Kanye has banned his posse of personnel from wearing any colors other than white, black, and gray. And whilst Kim Kardashian has certainly in no way nixed neutral combos in the past, she’s also hasn’t been a single to shy away from brights. We couldn’t help but notice that the fairer half of Kimye seems to be shrinking away from violet lately… and fairly considerably every single other color out there. In truth, K- (yes, that’s ‘Dash’) looks to have almost entirely banished rainbow hues from her vast wardrobe given that hitching up with Yeezy in March.
Love or hate her, we have to admit that Kim has been searching really great lately– maybe save for that weirdly inappropriate stripperesque mini and heels she donned to catch a Lakers Game yesterday. So far, dating Mr. West has carried out only great items for her fash cred: She could have been shunned from the Met Ball, but she did attend that Chanel dinner, and now she’s getting her very personal spread in L’Uomo Vogue. Plus, switching designs for a man surely isn’t unheard of– See Leelee Sobieski and basically anybody who’s ever hooked up with Marilyn Manson. So is Kanye just trying to klass up his newest katch? Is he keeping Kimmy kaptive from the rest of the kolors? Or is keeping up with Kanye kausing Kim to sacrifice her style?
