It is hard to pinpoint one specific area of inspiration for the Ralph Lauren Fall 2013 ready-to-wear collection. With clear references to Parisian chic, old-world Russian glamour, and sailor-inspired ensembles this luxury fashion collection is a delightful mixture of some of our favorite trends. Posh and put-together, the outfits certainly contain that quintessential Ralph Lauren appeal along with one of our favorite fall looks: black on black on black. The mixture of dark hues coupled with Ralph Lauren's sophisticated style results in a collection that blends Old World elegance and contemporary prep.
There are many aspects of the Internet that are simply fabulous—
Grumpy Cat GIFs, retail therapy at our finger tips, photo sharing (and inevitably over-sharing)— and now we can add luxury watch apps for our iPads and iPhones to that list. We've compiled a list of the stellar digital apps that have recently become available thanks to the world's top timepiece brands.
Having made a dramatic entrance on to the fashion scene with the unveiling of his debut collection in early 2011, luxury designer Ethan Koh was quickly billed as one to watch. With inspirations and influencers like Tomas Maier, Patek Philippe, Jean Louis Forain and Jack Vettriano, the budding designer works with exotic animal skins for his luxury leather brand, ETHAN K, to handcraft limited edition items such as shoes and handbags. Here, the 26-year-old talks about what’s in store for 2013, his inspirations, and designing a bag for Dita Von Teese...
Anyone looking to channel their inner Parisienne is in luck thanks to a new line of luxury beauty products on the market. Created by travel and lifestyle journalist Slavica Monczka, Seductively French is a lifestyle blog inspired by the passion, romance, and quality that can be found in French culture— in everything from the country’s cuisine to its fashion. With the same driven spirit, Slavica set out to create a line of products for her brand that could be enjoyed and gifted. After having the opportunity to enjoy the products ourselves, we found that these products have the same “je ne sais quois” quality that we all envy in the French.
There are many adjectives you could use to describe the infamous Karl Lagerfeld: "innovative," "chic," "terrifying"— but "thoughtful" and "courteous" probably don't come to mind. Admittedly outspoken, this fashion designer clearly refuses to filter his thoughts when it comes to media interviews, and while this continually gets him into trouble with the public, it seems as though the catty designer has no intention of stopping. Here, we have compiled a list of some of Karl's most jaw-dropping and insulting comments.
You have finally purchased and planned your luxury vacation and now it is time to take on the one step that haunts virtually every woman: the packing. It seems that no matter what you do to prepare you always find that you have either over- or under-packed. However, the worst feeling is arriving at your Caribbean resort only to realize that you packed for a trip to New York. While we can’t physically be by your side when preparing for your voyage, we CAN give you tips on how to dress appropriately for each and every one of your getaways.
This March, 25-year-old Ohioan Jenna Petardi enjoyed an experience of her Hollywood dreams courtesy of JustLuxe and Project Ethos. Normally, Jenna “never enters online sweepstakes,” but said she was drawn to “Mingle with The Masters” and a chance to win access inside the world of high cuisine, fashion or art. Presented by Lincoln Motor Company and the all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ, Jenna found the sweepstakes right here on JustLuxe who powered the sweepstakes.
One would think that with its intricate details, flamboyant hues and avant-garde designs, haute couture is pretty hard to upstage. As we've come to learn over the years, this simply isn't the case and luxury designers have taken it upon themselves to turn their runway shows into theatrical demonstrations. Once a designer is established enough, anything goes, and season after season they try to outdo eachother in extravagance and shock factor. Here we have compiled a list of five jaw-dropping moments that have hit the catwalk from fashion's most infamous designers.
Mila Kunis has been all over the place these last few years — after her memorable performance in 2010’s Black Swan, the Ukrainian beauty has booked a ton of other gigs, both on-screen and off. Most recently, she’s making celebrity news for becoming the new brand ambassador for luxury jewelry brand Gemfields.
As grandsons of the renowned Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil, brothers Elie and Pierre Bernheim were raised surrounded by master craftsmen, developing a passion and in-depth knowledge of watchmaking early on. With timepieces constructed with the upmost excellence and exquisite designs, these young brothers have successfully created a Swiss luxury watch brand for a new era of collectors. And now, for the first year ever, the Bernheim brothers and co-founders of 88 Rue du Rhone will be presenting their collection at the Baselworld Fair next month.
Not too long ago, Audrina Patridge was making celebrity news for her stint on the MTV reality series The Hills, where she, Lo, and LC got together to gossip about everything going on in their lives, from guys to their budding careers. In the process, her effortless “California girl” style became envied by viewers across the country. These days, Audrina is making waves as a style guru, and today she spoke with me to dish on her top fashion and beauty tips for making a smooth transition from winter to summer.
The Oscars have come and gone in their annual Hollywood whirlwind of diamonds, frills and unnecessarily long acceptance speeches, and while we are still consuming ourselves with vicious battles in the “best and worst dressed” game with friends and co-workers, many of us have unknowingly forgotten what makes up half of the Academy Awards – the men.
To say that Cara Delevingne is one of today’s “it” girls would be an understatement— she is the “it” girl. You might think that becoming the face of a major luxury brand (we’re looking at you, Burberry) by the age of 20 requires years of agonizing auditions, tireless networking, and equal parts blood, sweat and tears, but Cara Delevingne is known for more than just her eyebrows. Descending from a long line of high society Brits, we think it’s pretty safe to say that it was only a matter of time before Cara stepped into the spotlight, herself.
Luxury designer Miuccia Prada offers fans a series of playful impressions alongside some seriously striking silhouettes in her women's fall collection for Miu Miu. The line's tone for autumn is a bit dreamy, replete with moody colors and theatrical shapes. Though darkly romantic, splashes of color do appear in the form of bright, diagonally striped skirts that peek out from under long coats and colorful neckties that sit primly atop polka-dotted ensembles.
Those who have the exquisite taste for Bentleys can now stay on time in a similarly fashionable manner with the new luxury watch by Breitling. After ten years of working together, what better way for the high-end brands to celebrate than to create a special timepiece to commemorate the landmark occasion?
In contrast to his upcoming women's collection that consists of bright colors and loud prints, the men’s ready-to-wear line by luxury designer Tom Ford focuses on natural hues and ensembles constructed from layers of matching fabrics. The result is a multitude of sophisticated looks that are meticulously constructed with an attention to detail.
It seems pretty apparent that DSquared2's latest ready-to-wear collection is honoring the post-war glam of the Forties, channeling the sensual looks found in the smoke-filled jazz clubs of the era. Luxury designers Dean and Dan Caten tap into the vibrant period to draw inspiration for their women's fall line, featuring an array of accessories combined with a wide palette of rich colors and textures. All-in-all, the result is a collection with looks that are truly over-the-top.
With the launch of the London Men’s Fashion Week last year, more and more brands are moving their menswear shows to “The Big Smoke.” Following Alexander McQueen and Tom Ford, it seems only fitting that the most quintessentially British luxury fashion label brings its menswear shows home after years of presenting at other international fashion weeks.
A perfume shouldn't be obvious or overpowering to the wearer (or bystanders)— rather, it should mold into the skin to create a subtle surprise for intimate moments.
Only a few months have passed since we proclaimed our New Year's resolutions on January 1st, but that is plenty of time for the motivation needed to keep them in place to start wearing thin. A lifestyle or health regimen that once seemed so excitingly hopeful may now be hindered by the reality of long work hours, family, or plain old procrastination. If your New Year's resolve is slowly breaking and you are beginning to revert to last year's habits, below is a list of five simple suggestions to help you keep your promises.
Sunday's Oscars marked the end of awards season, and the stars made sure to go out with a bang. Several A-listers made celebrity news when they accepted awards in their respective categories— but our eyes were on the luxury fashion choices. Here's a recap of what the stars wore to the 2013 Academy Awards, which were held on February 24 at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
What makes a movie star truly talented is his or her ability to be someone that you envy and look up to, while at the same time possessing down-to-earth, relatable qualities. Jennifer Lawrence is one starlet who certainly has this rare combination of poise and awkwardness that leaves the rest of us transfixed. Add in her charmingly quirky Oscar moments, which made big celebrity news last night, and this beauty is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s elite.
In the lingering last months of winter, when the mood is grey and the sun still sets way too early, any little hint of spring is a welcome reprieve. That is why we are slightly enamored with the new colors released by Dior for its Chérie Bow luxury makeup collection. In light and luscious pink tones, the palettes — including blushes, eyeshadows, lip colors and more — remind us that the chilly weather is almost at an end and spring is right around the corner.
As a designer, Marc Jacobs is known for imitating the street style of the cool kids. Previously borrowing elements of grunge and punk for his designs, Jacobs is at it again with his Fall luxury menswear collection for 2013. Reaching back through time to the 1950's, the men's clothing for Marc by Marc Jacobs might remind some onlookers of their younger days, when they sifted through racks of tuxedo pants, windbreakers, rockabilly blazers, and the patterned suits. Although not groundbreaking, the collection does take us back to a style that was revolutionary in its day.
What could be more stylish than slipping into an embroidered kimono top for a special night out? For this year's spring and summer collections, we are excited to see a trend among many designers towards Asian themes, complete with cherry blossoms, exotic shoes, and origami shapes. With so much attention towards the Far East nowadays, it is only natural that some luxury designers are honoring Chinese and Japanese traditions in their lines with specific fabrics and cuts that come from those regions. And with the recent celebration of the Chinese New Year, this trend couldn't be more fitting.
