Итальянская романтика от Dolce&Gabbana SS 2014

В минувший месяц в Нью-Йорке, Лондоне, Милане и Париже прошли долгожданные недели высокой моды весна-лето 2014. Дизайнеры не переставали восхищать зрителей непревзойденным сочетанием элегантности, строгости, красоты и сексуальности. И так, дизайнер Jil Sander отличилась вариациями на тему милитари, короткими пиджаками и брюками мужского кроя. Vivienne Westwood в очередной раз эпатировала, представив моделей с бледными лицами и взъерошенными волосами, привлекая этим внимание публики на глобальные проблемы.  Креативный директор Burberry Prorsum Кристофер Бэйли сделал ставку на одежду из полупрозрачных тканей. Индийский дизайнер Ashish экспериментировал с блестками и спортивным стилем.

Показ Dolce&Gabbana был одним из самых ожидаемых на Неделе Моды в Милане и не зря. Dolce&Gabbana представили самое эффектное шоу Недели и произвели настоящий фурор. Зарекомендовав себя как один из самых люксовых, женственных и романтичных брендов мира моды, D&G остались верны своему стилю. Вдохновленные Древним Римом и Сицилией наряды удивляли яркостью, разнообразием и принтами. 

Удачный подбор аксессуаров для волос привлек особое внимание зрителей. Эксперименты с украшениями для волос были частью показа дизайнеров Дольче и Габбана и в прошлых сезонах. На прошлых показах дизайнеры  представляли моделей в ободках украшенных камнями, шелковых платках и коронах. На последнем же показе предпочтение было отдано золотому цвету. Небрежно собранные волосы и косы украшали ободки с цветами, камнями и заколки с крупными монетами. Так же были использованы тонкие обручи и кожаные золотистые ремешки.

Идеальным дополнением к украшениям для волос явились серьги-шандельеры, украшенные цветами и монетками. В дополнение древне-сицилийскому образу мастер Пэт Макграт использовала мейкап от Dolce & Gabbana, добавив натуральный блеск коже и розовый румянец. Заключительный штрих образу придал натуральный кремовый блеск на губах.

 

Equipment Designer Clothing

Exploring new designers is always a wonderful experience. Equipment is the one I discovered this autumn. I noticed a very stylish silk blue leaopard print with long leeves on my friend. I directly searched for it and found out it was an Equipment Owen Dress. While googling the designer I realized I would never draw my attention over Equipment if I just found it in online shopping. Because the items look very strict and ordinary. But I assure you, it looks totally different when you wear it. The dress on my friend was an IT dress!

Inspired by Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, Christian Restoin's 1975 collection introduced men's shirts to womenswear. Current/Elliott's Serge Azria relaunched the brand in 2010 with a collection of boy/girl styles in luxurious silks, infusing the label's heritage with contemporary edge. Both men and women are going to enjoy the stylish, fresh yet simple look by Equipment.

I invite you to look through the collection on Equipment website. You can obtain or check out Equipment clothes in Baku in Emporium store. Or check out more on Harvey Nichols UK. Enjoy!

BAO BAO ISSEY MIYAKE

When something worth of attention is produced Go Rouge will never pass by! The brand new Issey Miyake bag called Bao Bao is a trend bang this season. 

To tell the truth I never considered the Japanese Issey Miyake to be a good designer of clothes, neither successful in beauty production. But my trip to London has changed my mind quite much. A good part of my trip was devoted to shopping, discovering news in fashion, trends, beauty (the rest of the part was quite touristic and culinary). While taking a walk in Harvey Nichols I ran into Issey Myake department where I met my love at first sight. It was a medium white clutch with leather triangles which made the bag very flexible (if I may say so) and easy to hold.

The bag come in different design and colors and the price vary from 170 up to 700 GBP. Most intersting part of it is the ability to shape the bag as you wish. For further imagination see the video. Bao bao is not sold in Baku, however it's easy to be ordered from Farfetch.

Airports looks

Soon the Go Rouge travels to UK for new summer adventures, shopping, blog materials and loads of fun. Tickets are booked. Bags are packed. Everything is almost ready except for... airport outfit. This is the most common girls' travelling problem. What to wear to feel comfy, look nice and be practical? 

Sometimes it depends on type of your travel (business, holiday, etc). But one good unique advice for each airport outfit - look for comfort first. Most airports in the world are immense and sometimes you have to walk through the airport from on corner to another. Trust me, your high heels or tight skirt will do you no good. 

Still, looking pretty will give you confidence. Therefore do not forget about the looks either. Be fresh, use few makeup (powder, blush, mascara and lipstick are enough), do not overload yourself with accessories or jewelry (hats and caps are mostly useless, unless its cold). When it comes to clothes - the most common, plain, comfortable and nice looking things to wear are:

1) Shirt (T-shirt, top, blouse)

2) JEANS! for bottom (viva la jeans!), leggins, joggers

3) A jacket if needed (knitted, jeans, leather or smth warmer if needed). Knitted jackets are always nice. You may tie it around waist if useless or fold and put into your bag.

4) Ballet shoes, Nikes, anything flat on feet. YOU WILL WALK, and most probably you will walk a lot, especially if you are travelling back home. For registration, tax free, duty free shopping, etc. Pity your feet and speed up by wearing comfy shoes. Also keep your feet dry, you will have to spend much time in shoes. Take an extra pair of socks in bag.

Bon voyage, dear Rougers! See you in London :)

sHoEs... not only ladies go crazy about

The ones that he wore. Likey?

The other day I caught myself staring at my bf's shoes. "You like them?" - he asked. Those shiny, very classic loafers that felt like 80's are back. "Not really" - came out of my mouth unwillingly. Did I sound too straightforward? But isn't it the essence of relationship - honesty :)?
He had those classic black intrecciato woven Bottega Veneta loafers of recent collection which he liked veeeery much. It made me think - what are men's shoes about? With women's shoes it's very clear - they should be sexy, make legs look slender, heels, toes, platform (and bunch of other tricks). And men's shoes?
So I started my little research in men's shoes world. I realized moccasins are my favorite type of shoes to see on a man. Plus they are funny and comfortable to wear. So, darling, if you are reading this - please take that into account.

Would gladly like these ones instead. Bottega Veneta.

Here I found some very stylish shoes of recent haute couture collections. Guys, try these (not exactly these, but kind of) if you want to draw her attention!

20's glamour

I am utterly excited over upcoming movie "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Isla Fisher, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, a masterpiece written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. We’re still a month away from the May premier of the movie in Baku. But anticipation for Baz Luhrmann‘s gorgeous mix of the literature pieace and dazzling fashion of twenties. 

Storyline: Nick Carraway (Toby Maguire) is an aspiring stock broker in 1920's New York. Living on the outskirts of town, he reestablishes a friendship with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), and her husband, Tom (Joel Edgerton). Nick also befriends golfer Jordan Baker (Elizabeth Debicki), who is pressured by Daisy to begin a romance with Nick. Jordan informs Nick of his neighbor, the rich and enigmatic Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is famed for staging large, flamboyant parties for the region's elite. Attaching himself to Gatsby, Nick learns of a love that was broken between Gatsby and Daisy by the First World War. Now, Nick is caught in the crossroads of a staged game aimed at recreating the past. Soon it begins to show that greatness can sometimes be superficial to a person's real identity.

Gifts for him

As promised earlier I am presenting you my top 5 gifts for men. So I did some digging, visited shops, surfed internet - as usual getting a present for your man/dad/brother/son is the hardest thing, since they don't wear makeup or jewlery, are not really interested in tons of things from fashion to cooking and have very limited amount of gaments to wear. And it appears that the best thing to buy for a man is a gadget if you can afford or follow his hobbys and make conclusions. So here is my top 5:

1. Christmans Jumper. Of all prices, all qualities and styles. Very fashionable this winter and best for leisure outfit. Check out men stores like Debenhams, Zara or asos.com 

2. Men Flight Bag. Did you realize he is carrying too many things with? 2 mobile phones, wallet, keys, earphones... Try to secretly wonder whether it would be comfy for him to put everything in one bag and carry things together without losing or forgetting them. If he is okay with that - go ahead. Men Flight Bags are compact, roomy and comfy. You can get sportive one in Adidas or classic (leather maybe) in stationary or men shops.

3. Shaving kits. Razors, aftershave, shavers. Because all men shave. Depends on how they shave. For razor shavers there are gorgeous razor kits online in Emporium  and in L'occitane stores in Baku.

4. Beats by Dre. Everyone loves music. Quality is the condition. Buying Beats for your man is a win-win shopping - you can use them yourself later on ;). Medium sized Beats cost 173AZN in Music Gallery store in Baku. Or you can order one via ebay.

5. iPhone/iPad Speakers. Again for music fans who love to enjoy music at (or office) very useful gift. The price starts from 50 AZN and you can get any kind from small to really big ones.

Celebs wearing Christmas Jumpers. 

Shaving kit on Emporium online store for 83 AZN.

Hope the list will be useful and the gift receiver will be glad.
