Happy birthday, Rouge! Loubs as a work of art

Dear readers,

Happily The Go Rouge blog turned one year yesterday. It all started from a single idea of an unemployed girl a year ago to share contemporary, easy, stylish and charming ways of living life. I am happy to be part of your life from time to time and reach over 4000 views during a year.

Birthday edition of Go Rouge is about stunning work of art by Peter Lipman who filmed autumn collection of Christian Louboutin shoes and bags. The Rubens styled masterpieces do not need any description. Some of the places shoes in a vase full of fruits or flowers, some plays them as wine glass, and others throw Loubs into the wild among dogs.

Please enjoy the unforgetable advert campaign for Christian Louboutin FW'13 by Peter Lipman.

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!

Houndstooth's moment

Back to basics - fashion survives this way. Your mom and granny used to wear garments with houndstooth (dogtooth) pattern. Now it's even on my dad's jackets and vests. Wrap yourself in dogtooth print this autumn. Get the trendy looks from Gwen Stefanny swapping your classic black blazer for one with oversized, high-definition checks; give a subtle nod to the trend with a ladylike shoulder bag; or follow Marion Cotillard's lead and offset a polished pencil skirt with a color-block top and bold lips.

It's graphic, classy and trendy. Houndstooth is back in celebrities wardrobe and local shops. 

My new Houndstooth Signature Pony Coat by Karen Millen with leather collar and belt. Great addition to an autumn business style (yes, autumn, it's not a winter coat at all). The coat was over 500 AZN in the local store. I ordered it from asos.com for 350 GBP.

Karen Millen houndstooth clutch and red coat combination looks stunning. Clutch is 297 AZN and coat is 465 AZN in the local store.

A movie for autumn evening

Nothing is better than spending an autumn evening snuggling on couch watching a sweet black and white kissy-huggy-lovey movie. Let's say "Sabrina" 1954 starring Audrey Hepburn (my femme idol). A movie about a girlie-girl Sabrina, a driver's daughter, who becomes an elegant lady upon her graduation in Paris. She comes back home where her ex-love David gets very attracted to a sophisticated woman - Sabrina.

"Oh Sabrina, Sabrina, where have you been all my life?" - (right there, idiot, you simply were too blind to notice her before). 

I love going through the romantic drama with Sabrina, admire her dresses and playful looks. See the trailer below:

After. Sabrina in strapless white Givenchy ball gown. 

Rainboots

Rainboots fashion is quite new to Baku - just couple of years I've been observing girls pranking their outfits with clumsy big rubber boots for rain. First it seemed quite awkward. Then my sister bought herself pair of very stylish Burberry rainboots from London boutique and I fell in love with them. Not simply the looks, but also the fact that she walked into a puddle with them and cried out "Mom, come and stop me, I'm walking on a puddle!".  

Here are couple of samples on online shopping stores (international delivery):

Basically, I wouldn't spend more than 150$ for rubber boots. The biggest con of rain boots is that they absolutely do not keep your feet warm.
