The Unofficial Face of Menswear: Adrianne Ho

by James16. May 2013 13:00

The amount of times I’ve heard a girl say “I wish they made this for girls” when looking at boys’ clothes is a LOT more than you'd think. And, its arguable to say the least, that nothing looks better than seeing a girl dressed up in your beat up old tee or favourite shirt. Which brings us to Hypebeast who have taken the genius decision to team up with the strikingly beautiful, half-French, half-Chinese Toronto native Andrianne Ho to shoot an exclusive editorial and interview. Finding out what the Ford Models NYC and Next Management LA model thinks of her job, mixed ancestry and becoming the unofficial streetwear/menswear face of the moment, the interview reveals a woman who represents the intersection of power, independence and sexuality, all within connections to the city in a relevant way. Check out the full interview and images over at Hypebeast and you can follow Adrianne Ho on both Instagram and Twitter (we recommend you do).

by Abi15. May 2013 10:12

 

Epitomising the classification of chic, Victoria Beckham never fails to deliver. Dominating essential simple silhouettes, demure shapes and soft feminine lines VB is a concrete favourite when it comes to minimalist designs. With graceful outlines, panelling and block hues Victoria Beckham's collection embodies elegance, highlighting sophistication in its most sensual form. This season we have hand selected a few pieces that celebrate the collaboration of grid lace capped sleeves and cinched in waists, replicating the signature form fitting style of Mrs Beckham herself.

Virgin Atlantic Gets A Designer Make Over

by Kerry14. May 2013 10:41

Industry favourite, Virgin Atlantic, goes for a glamorous look as Vivienne Westwood is unveiled as the new uniform designer. The one time Queen of Punk has gave the airline's iconic red uniforms a new lease of life, with a feminine and flattering silhouette for female crew and a sharp Savile Row inspired three piece wool suit for the men.

"My clothes have always got a very strong dynamic rapport with the body, they are very body conscious, they help you to look glamorous, more hourglass, more woman. I design things to help people to hopefully express their personality".

Much of the new uniform will be produced using recycled materials, including polyester yarn that originated from plastic bottles and canvas created from roadside banners, "I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment. Working with Virgin Atlantic they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics," said Westwood.

Richard Branson said that his airline had wanted to work alongside someone that shared 'their spirit of adventure, who believed in challenging the status quo and creating something truly memorable'.

The Virgin Atlantic crew will start trialling the new uniforms from July before they are rolled out across the company in 2014.
