Style Icons: Most Influential Models Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell:

Naomi Campbell undoubtedly has set a high bar for British models as one of the Big Six Supermodels of the 80s and 90s. The model turned mogul has achieved great successes through a fierce runway walk and timeless beauty. If you haven't seen Naomi walk then simply search her credentials on youtube. She even made falling fabulous whilst wearing insanely high inch heels on the runway that should only be allowed in ANTM challenges! Recently Naomi has guest starred on the hit show Empire playing the ruthless Camilla and also executively produced and judged the modelling show The Face, proving she is still relevant in the Kardashian saturated culture! No shade Kim ;). Although Campbell's career has been
surrounded with controversy, it appears to have done little to damage her image as any mention of phone throwing has kinda become her thing- remember that Ugly Betty episode? Another thing the woman is in her 40s and still looks as good as she did 20 years ago! Naomi, shows no signs of slowing down career wise, from her first cover at 15 of Elle the supermodel has paved a strong and lucrative path for young models following in her footsteps!!   

 

 

INSPIRE ME: Street Style

The best place to draw inspiration for a new outfit is defiantly on the streets of our favourite fashion capitals London, Paris, New York and Tokyo- but to name a few. Fashion may first appear on the runways, but it becomes iconic on the streets. It's less about taking a whole outfit of the runway but rather to integrate you're style with that of the designer- much like Carrie Bradshaw.

The best streetstyle combines trends and labels, accessories and fabrics to create individual style that shocks, impresses and inspires our view of current fashion. We innovate and have the power to set trends on the street not just the runway! 

Sportswear is the New Streetwear

 

Sportswear is the New Streetwear

Back in the 20s the term 'Sportswear' meant clothing that you could interchange for an informal look. It was the style you would adopt when spectating a sport, however, now rather than dressing as the audience we dress as the athletes. This Sportswear Movement has become the go-to trend for the jetsetters, gym bunnies and anyone who values a comfortable, relaxed style. Just searching through the vast blogs of Tumblr, sportswear is cropping up on all the streets of London and Paris. Although this form of fashion has been around for decades,  key innovators in 'Activewear'  such as Adidas, Puma and Nike have pushed lycra tights, sporty tops and running trainers out of the gym and onto the streets.
