Which Haute Couture Bride Are You?

Tradition has it that the bride should be dressed in white, demure and pure: but not in the case of Haute Couture! Challenging society’s ideology of the classic bride, this Fall, designers opted for controversy, or should we say reality, over tradition. So, tell us… which Haute Couture bride are you?

1. Drag Queen Bride | Jean Paul Gaultier

He is the enfant terrible of the fashion world and not intent on losing his reputation any time soon. This season, Jean Paul Gaultier, presented his most challenging bride to date: the drag queen bride.  Eurovision winner, Conchita Wurst, closed the haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week, resplendent in a black and red vampire-themed gown.

2. Classic Princess Bride | ELIE SAAB

King of red carpet attire, Elie Saab, left no room for casual couture this season. He presented a magical display of cocktail gowns, sparkle, sheer and the finest craftsmanship. The collection takes inspiration from Paris, the City of Light, through its ethereal interiors. The jewel-toned colors of the collection’s palette recall the faceted, prismic reflections of crystal chandeliers. And the bridal gown was classic princess couture.

3. Pregnant Bride | Chanel

This Fall, Karl Lagerfeld presented a chic and regal Haute Couture collection at the Grand Palais, which took inspiration from visionary architect Le Corbusier’s Parisian apartment. The bride entered the Grand Palais as if it was a church; model Ashleigh Good appeared like a virgin dressed in a white Empress-style dress. When suddenly, to onlookers surprise a dramatic bump reveals that the bride is seven-months pregnant! Talk about Taboo.

4. Sparkletastic Bride | Zuhair Murad

If you’ve always dreamed of shining your way down the aisle, then this dress is for you! Lebanese designer, Zuhair Murad, presented a collection that gave a nod to the architectural renaissance reflective in Lebanon’s capital city, Beirut.

Do you Remember Alexa Chung Star on ‘Shoot Me! London?’, Watch Today

Image: @Chungalexa (Instagram)FashionTV’s 2005 reality series ‘Shoot Me!’ has made a comeback! Flash back to the groundbreaking show, where aspiring models in London and LA embark on their careers, and see how they live, laugh and fight their way to the top of the game!

Most famously, you may remember Alexa Chung who starred as scripted character “Jake” in ‘Shoot Me! London.’  Today, Chung has made it to the top as a high-profile television presenter and model as well as contributing editor at British Vogue. Now you can see her before she was famous, and still as beautiful as ever!

In FashionTV’s 18-part London series — which has been edited together into one full show — enjoy the stories of the girls living together in their London apartment; but life as an aspiring model isn’t as glamorous as it may seem. From ants in the kitchen to bitchy flatmates, cold showers and fierce scrutiny by model agencies, Chung quickly learns that modelling isn’t going to be an easy ride.

Question is, will she or won’t she get that famous magazine cover to kick-start her career or will she face more obstacles in her struggle to success? WATCH to find out.

And off the back of our London series’ success we made an LA version too! You too can see all the mini-episodes rolled into one and follow  Emily, Nicole, Lola, Kristen, Anna-Maria, Katya and Serrina  as they navigate the LA fashion scene.

Dior Goes Astro-Haute At Paris Couture!

As the stars flocked to the front row, Raf Simons presented his Princess-Astronaut collection at the Dior Haute Couture show.

Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron and Emma Watson were just some of the A-listers that turned up in Paris to watch the Dior Couture Fall/Winter 2014-15 spectacle.

And spectacle, it most certainly was. The show featured eight distinct looks that included 18th century ballgowns (think Cinderella) with contrastingly mannish frock coats. But that’s not all, now try to imagine Simons’ classic-modern couture mixed with Dior-chic astronaut suits! Et Voila, there you have the full Dior Haute Couture experience.

Atelier Versace Revives The Fifties With Hot Couture!

And, it’s on! The Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection shows are in full swing, last night kicking off with Atelier Versace.

Donatella Versace’s fourth collection for the Italian fashion house’s Haute Couture line gave a nod to the era of Rock ‘N’ Roll, the Fifties. Silhouettes comprised deconstructed shapes, corseted bodices, rounded shoulders and cutting and slicing away fabric with the ‘Donatella precision’ that helps create her infamous ultra-sex appeal effect.

And who better to grace the front row than celebrity diva, Jennifer Lopez, who famously wore that green Versace gown at the Grammy awards more than a decade ago! Last night, JLO arrived looking every bit the Versace goddess dressed in a chic white floor-length gown, hip-high split and half trouser look.

All The Hottest Trends From Men’s Fashion Week, Weekend Special

We’ve seen prints, we’ve seen pools and plenty of things to think about for the Spring/Summer 2015 season. And though the men’s collections have come to an end, this weekend FashionTV brings you all the hottest shows from London, Milan and Paris!

It’s hard to believe, but June has really flown by that fast! At the beginning of the month we welcomed the start of the menswear fashion shows where London Collections: Men kicked off with Burberry Prorsum, Alexander McQueen and DKNY Men Spring/Summer 2015 setting the standards for the season.

Then, swiftly over to Milan we flew where no expense was spared; we’re talking both in terms of the clothes and venues. At Milan, the week was abundant in entertainment and thematic styles, with everything from PHILIPP PLEIN’s pool-side show to Versace’s picnic boys collection, Dsquared2 ‘s neon-rave color-explosion collection and Dolce & Gabanna’s red hot Sicilian lookbook.

And last but by no means least, Paris, where arguably the creme-de-la-creme of fashion presented their menswear shows. At Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci selected Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, Irina Shayk and Isabeli Fontana to help present the military-influenced show while Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, Raf Simons and Saint Laurent brought the collections home.

This weekend FashionTV takes you to the front row, discovers all the street trends and go backstage at all the biggest and best shows of the Spring/Summer 2015 season.

Don’t forget! Paris Haute Couture Fall 2014-15 shows start on Friday and we’ll be bringing you all the shows LIVE. So stay tuned and see it first with FashionTV.

Celebrating Inti Raymi With Manish Arora!

You may all know the longest day of the year, June 21, but do you know about Inti Raymi the 9-day Winter Solstice in Peru? To celebrate, FashionTV takes a look inside Manish Arora’s Fall 2014-15 collection that was popping with Peruvian influences!

It was maximum effort for maximum impact, when Indian designer Manish Arora presented one of his most memorable shows at Paris Fashion Week.

“It was a fantasy collection; it was a tribe I created, which was a candy tribe,” explains the designer. “It was about this character, a girl who existed in my mind, who is probably 18-years-old and she’s from a cold country, she has Peruvian blood in her and she probably has a little baby.”

Mixing ethnic traveler and gypsy vibes with luxurious fabrics to include fur, velvet, and satin, Arora succeeded to leave an indelible mark on fashion editors and bloggers around the world.
