As it is only 10 days until London Fashion Week Mens, I thought I would recap what happened last season!
I enjoy the way that menswear is changing and is getting brighter and more innovative. I am all for this change. I hope to see more of that in the next 10 days and throughout the whole of this Menswear season from June – July.

Rei Kawakubo was honoured at last night’s Met Gala in New York City. Countless celebrities, designers, performers and fashion legends were in attendance and they certainly all made a splash in the avant-garde pool.
Kawakubo and Comme Des Garcons are famous for redefining the classic female silhouette.
Last night, some people got it so right with the theme, others… not so much. But we will not focus on the negatives because I am all about positivity here. however, I will shine a light on outfits that I think could have been improved upon.
Let’s jump straight in! Be warned… This is a lengthy blog post!
Whether you’re a fan of her music (Or her attempts at comedy) Katy Perry completely nailed the Comme Des Garcons theme wearing Maison Margiela. As Co-host of the event, she definitely had to serve a perfect outfit.
The Fashion Queen herself glistened on the red carpet! The iridescent glow of her dress created her own definition of Avant-Garde. Speaking to Andre Leon Talley, She Says, “Obviously, Avant-Garde is different things to different people, so that’s what I hope we’re going to see tonight.” Wise words that certainly came true.
Rei would be proud of the Thom Browne number worn by Solange. This not only completely embodied the theme, it looked insanely wearable minus the train on the puffer coat.
Dreadlocks accessories and grill aside, Jaden’s Look is a striking one. He will definitely be remembered for bringing his Locks to the party instead of his sister, (Was he throwing shade?) this gothic Louis Vuitton look coincided with the Theme brilliantly.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Elegant Candice looks?
And Also She is in TOPSHOP! We’ll come back to Topshop, Topman and H&M near the end.
I am not sure if this necessarily fits the theme, however, she looks stunning!
Let’s Start with Kim! As you know, I am not really a KUWTK fan but I never want to judge a book by itself cover. I really liked this simple elegant dress on Kim especially with the asymmetric lob haircut.
Kendall, in La Perla Lingerie, did not impress me tbh. The barely-there lingerie look isn’t one that sets my world on fire. I feel this a look that has been done a lot. All that said, she still looks stunning and strikingly beautiful but I think another gown would have been more appropriate.
Kylie looked amazing in this nude number by Versace. The nude palette always seems to work for her and makes her look brilliant.
Both serving army chic similar to Moschino Mens AW17, They were both ready for anything the night could throw at them.
In sustainable Stella McCartney, Gisele slays in this “Bootylicious” Open back dress with his Man Tom Brady wearing Tom Ford. Both looking amazing and splendidly in love.
She definitely should be up for best dressed!
Chopra is slaying like no other. This coat dress is playing with silhouettes just like Kawakubo would. Absolutely Fabulous!
Our Girl, Z, didn’t stick to the theme but slayed equally as hard!
This Dolce & Gabbana Dress dominated tabloids and fashion tv shows as a huge talking point. Her fabulous Fro and striking lips makes this look one of my favourite… and also because it’s Zendaya!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BTkqE02lXgx/?taken-by=topshop
Topshop turned up the temperature with these amazing designs. Candice, Joan, Behati and Sistine all look amazing. IMO, Sofia Richie did not look the best. The material kind of looked like foil. But That is just my opinion!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BTkVFy5FjZz/?taken-by=topman
No Flaws with Topman! Presley Gerber, Gabriel Kane and Jordan Barrett all looked fantastic. All of these suits would look great in my wardrobe!
Yes, I did just write H&M! They dominated the red carpet with Jourdan Dunn, Nicki Minaj, Future, Ashley Graham, Sasha Blane, Joe Jonas and Stella Maxwell.
Each look just as unique as the rest but all serving the theme of the night.
Just look at Cassie ear cuff! Just look at it!
So chic, and I completely agree with Andre. I see the futuristic James Brown vibes.
Klossy did it again!
Was her look as striking as last year’s? No! Do we still love it? Yes! She stuns in Carolina Herrara and with a new hairdo! Love, Love, Love!
A vision in blue. Moving gracefully around in Valentino, JLO makes a classy statement at the Met!
The Beautiful new hot couple of 2017 (I hope they stay together) looked beautiful together.
The Weeknd in Black and Selena in White create the most high fashion yin and yang. So beautiful!
Lupita always brings the fire! Remember last year’s Nina Simone/Matrix inspired look? She always seems to get the theme and work with it within her style.
Rihanna got a lot of stick for this look because it did not flatter her figure… That’s what Comme Des Garcons is all about, challenging silhouette stereotypes. Anyway, Rant over!
The Comme Des Garcons gown looks amazing on her especially with her complexion!
The other Comme Des Garcons girls also looked phenomenal!

Dakota Johnson is wearing Gucci!
I would never dream of wearing jeans unless I wore them as cool as this. Such amazing looks.
Another great dressed so many including Zendaya (Above) and so many others!
Dolce & Gabbana brought a lot of brilliant looks, my favourite of all is Lewis Hamilton’s. So Dapper!
And Last but never Least:
Gigi’s Tommy outfit was produced after she looked at the archives and found textures she loved and this was the product:
These are some of my favourite Met Gala looks from this year. Let me know below who your favourite was and if I missed anyone out who you love.
I hope you are having a beautiful day.

You’re probably wondering what on earth I am on about. Am I genuinely writing a blog post about bank holiday Monday? The answer to that is quite simply – well – No! Monday is such an important day because it is the 2017 Met Gala.
This year’s theme is Comme Des Garcons: Art of the In-between. The Gala will celebrate the work of one of the most influential designers of the last 40 years, Rei Kawakudo.
Kawakudo is the only living (Other than Yves Saint Laurent in 1983) designer to attend a Met Gala tribute to their work.
To Celebrate the Met, let’s take a look back at some of my favourite Met Gala looks ever!
The Beautiful Lupita glowing in this pleated green gown.
China through the looking glass was one of my favourite themes.
Another favourite of mine was last year’s theme, Manus X Machina. The styles were electric… literally!
These have to be some of my favourite looks through the recent years.
I can’t wait to see what is to offer on Monday!

Coachella Trends are here to stay! I feel like I haven’t spoken to you all for a while but I am back with some trends for this summer all inspired by Coachella.
I actually filmed a video of my Top 10 favourite Coachella looks and this is the blog post is to show you how to get the looks on a budget.
Let’s go in the order of the video starting with Jourdan Dunn!
DISCLAIMER: This is how to get a similar look NOT the same look!
Whether you want to stay plain or use print, a bodysuit can really spice up your summer wardrobe. If you want to wear it like Jourdan with shorts or with a skirt, just make sure you get one that fits you well.
Starting with a base like this can really create a desert chic look and adding some crochet lace and fringing can make it look really bohemian.
Loving Lace but don’t want to be too revealing? Here’s how!
Find top, jumpsuits and skirts that have small Lace inserts. This can create a huge impact and also keep you cool in the heat.
Want some crazy colour?
Why not try the L’oreal Colorista range!
Don’t be afraid to be matchy-matchy! Follow the Queen of Co-ords and wear red.
With the split trousers and the crop top, it will keep you cool but also keep you classy!
Go for Gold with Roxi!
Adding a simple metal choker can take a look from 0-100 in no time at all. Worn with a blush shade top, like Roxi, can create something truly amazing!
Now for the Guys!
Dungarees are all over the internet. Find one that you find comfortable and most importantly that you can move in to start your perfect Dungaree look.
Destroyed Denim is the way forward.
With this simple short, you can accessorise and style it in any way you like. A perfect edition to your summer wardrobe.
The best thing about pastels? You can layer them and you’ll still feel and look cool! Look out for pastel florals for the full coachella vibe
Hats are a man’s besr friend. Whether you need a bit of extra style or you’re having a bad hair day, hats can help you achieve a power look!
Topman is a brilliant place for well patterned understated shirts that truly make an impact.
Don’t be afraid of the sun, embrace it!
This is summer Style at it’s Best.

Karlie Kloss has had a busy week with travelling to St Louis, dropping her first capsule collection with Express and releasing application forms for her coding summer camp, Kode With Klossy!
Let’s Start off with her Collection Collaboration with Express!
Karlie and Express teamed up to create a collection that shows the elegance and versatility of the wardrobe essentials. This collection is inspired by its target audience, Real Girls.
17 mix and match pieces make up the whole collection which can create more than 100 looks, the collection reflects the beautiful optimism of Karlie and girls all around the world that dare to dream more.
All the hard work led up to the debut of the collection at a live runway show at The Pageant in Karlie’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri on 30th March 2017.
So as you can see, It was pretty amazing!
The 15 Models used in the show were just ordinary women, a cancer survivor, a military service member, a fashion blogger, a computer engineer and coder and Karlie’s very own sister, Kimby Kloss.
The girls got to work with celebrity stylist (who has styled none other than Karlie) Karla Welch and creative movement consultant Steven Galloway.
The Pageant holds special meaning for Karlie as this is where her very first runway show happened 13 years ago.
After the show, they had hearty food and a performance by Charli XCX!
To grab the fabulous collection, Click here!
After taking the world by storm last year, Kode with Klossy is back to inspire another generation of girls to try coding.
“Before my first coding class, the idea that I could build something with code seemed nearly impossible, but after only a couple of courses, I was working with my classmates to program a small drone. I realized that, just like art and fashion, code is about creativity, and that women who have these skills have the power to shape our future – and often have. Women are essential in forging digital progress and knowing how to code is the key to exploring and creating the newest frontier.” – Karlie Kloss
So if you’re a girl and you’re interested in what coding has to offer or even if you just want to make some new friends, try Kode with Klossy. It may unlock your potential!
As you all know I love Karlie Kloss, I think she is amazing and upon finding out this information, I had to share it with you all!

I know I have been absent for a while going to events and editing videos but I am back with a new post for you all.
Cast your minds back to when I went to my old secondary school, Do you remember the outfit I wore?
Not completely…
Well here’s a breif reminder!
I will be showing the full look and how you can get this look.
My inspiration behind this outfit was the layering trend and was heavily influenced by the 90’s with the dungarees. The Shirt and T-shirt layering comination was so outside of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed wearing this look. It is comfortable yet still so stylish.
My top tips for Shirt and T-shirt layering is to make sure the shirt is tucked in and the t-shirt is untucked. This creates a more cohesive and clean look. As you may know, from being a Victoryforu Reader, I love to mix formality and street style in different combinations.
I hope you enjoy the video above. Thank you to Ryan O’connor for being my Videographer for the day!
