Karl Lagerfeld launches newspaper

 
Designer Karl Lagerfeld is now a media owner. At the end of September, in Europe and China, he is launching, The Karl Daily. It will take a satirical look at Lagerfeld’s love for photography, his love for sketching, and his iconic brand. Starting with a 150,000-copy circulation, Lagerfeld says he loves paper, and truly dislikes social networks:  “Those social networks, there’s something sad about them…It’s like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves.”

(Caroline Hererra Spring 2015)

At Maxus we are all about embracing change and creativity, so what better place for some inspiration than New York Fashion Week, showcasing wears for Spring 2015?! It is winding down and what a fun week of fashion it’s been. I love getting a head start on thinking about ‘what’s next’ for the upcoming season, so this week, I’ve been a student of myriad Instagram pages, Pinterest posts, runway videos, fashion trades, and more. Here’s what I found most interesting:

Models wearing Carolina Hererra’s gowns glided down the runway with such grace. The formal dresses were stunning, adorned with delicate digitized flowers, blending bold and soft colors in the most elegant of ways. For an event I’m attending in November, I’ve had my eye on similar gowns at Neiman Marcus -- more seasonally-appropriate in black and jewel-toned hues and at a more palatable price point.

fantabulous fashionable hats
 
I’ve always been a lover of accessories, and hats have been one of my favorite accoutrements. There are traditional times when women adorn their crowns with various types of chapeaus. From the Kentucky Derby to Easter Sunday to Mother’s Day, women wear the most “Fantabulous” fashionable hats on special occasions. Yes, I partake in the occasion wearing, but I believe in bringing out a hat anytime. Hats are the ultimate accessory and eye-catching fashion statement.
 
As of late, I’ve been sporting fascinators of all colors, shapes and heights.  Some have feathers, ribbons, jewels and/or swirls of piping. I’m glad that Kate Middleton made fascinators popular again. I like fascinators because they are lightweight and I NEVER get hat hair when I wear them. However, as much as I love them, fascinators aren’t right for every occasion. Nevertheless, there’s a type of hat which is appropriate and will work for almost any situation.
