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.

The Modern Muses Of Saint Laurent, Model Of The Week Special

Today, ‘Saint Laurent’ premieres at Cannes Film Festival: a biopic about one of the most iconic designers of the century. To celebrate its release, FashionTV dedicates this edition of ‘Model of the Week’ to the modern day muses of Saint Laurent.

Yves Saint Laurent left an impressionable mark on the fashion world, designing the iconic 1966 Le Smoking suit, as well as defining the trends of the fashion elite through cultural movements such as the Beatnik years, Pop Art and Ballet Russes, among others.

Today, the brand has taken a modern, grungier turn, with designer Hedi Slimane’s takeover in 2012. The brand famously lost the “Yves” and is now referred to as “Saint Laurent,” and the headquarters controversially relocated from Paris to Los Angeles. FashionTV introduces you to some of Slimane’s latest Saint Laurent muses.

Grace Hartzel

Get to know the name Grace Hartzel, because this model is about to get big. Hartzel made her fashion month debut for the Fall 2014 season at Saint Laurent, where she opened and closed the show. After the show, the fashion house tweeted a series of comments such as: “GRACE HARTZEL IS SAINT LAURENT’S EXCLUSIVE GIRL.”

Natalie Westling

Her fire red hair, porcelain skin, and doll-like features were all over the Fall 2014 catwalks and can be seen in Saint Laurent Paris’ latest campaign shot by Hedi himself and in the infamous Marc Jacobs ads alongside Miley Cyrus.

Gracie Van Gastel & Lida Fox

One models and hula hoops, the other, performs ballet. Slimane is mad on music meets fashion; his campaigns often incorporate musicians and models, and now, he’s added dancers into the equation too. Gracie, from Vancouver Island, Canada, and Lida from Pawleys Island, South Carolina, each bring their beauty and flair to the next clip.

Stay tuned with FashionTV, we’re live at Cannes Film Festival and will be bringing you all the red carpet and exclusive party news first!
