A recent trend surfacing the fashion industry are spinoff tees of major designers including Céline, Givenchy, Hermès, and Comme des Garçons - Models like Cara DeLevingne and Jourdan Dunn have have been spotted wearing their Homiés beanies off the runway by Brian Lichtenberg, and SSUR's tee "Comme des Fuck Down" has been quite prominent as well. Whether they are paying homage to the giant fashion houses or not, designers are pushing the boundaries with more than just a play on words.
Dying to get your hands on them? Montreal's Editorial Boutique is selling beanies and sweatshirts by Brian Lichtenberg. Find them on 1455 Rue Stanley.
Taking the fashion world by storm, Cara Delevingne is more than just an ordinary model of the moment. A prominent face in this year's New York, Paris, and London Fashion Week, it wasn't her bold eyebrows and sharp features but her quirky and crazy personality that won me over.
Cara's instagram (@CaraDelevingne) is full of her onesies, beanies, and funny faces. She's real and seems like somebody I would want to be friends with. Her interviews are hilarious, such a fresh veer away from the typical model-posh personality. She's friends with Rita Ora, whom she fondly calls "wifey" (how can we not love her for that), and has twitter interactions with Miley Cyrus as well (another dynamic duo?).
Her debut British Vogue cover came out on newstands in the UK in late
February, while I've been waiting patiently for mine to come in
Montreal.Everyone wants a piece of Cara, and who can blame them?
She's the new face of Burberry Body Tender, the campaign which can be seen here:
Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer discusses Cara and Burberry Body: "Burberry Body
was always about creating something that captures all the different
characteristics of the Burberry girl. With Body Tender, we wanted to
explore and bring out the softer, more playful sides of her — capturing
this light femininity in the scent as well as the campaign. Cara’s
natural beauty and vibrant energy lit up alongside London’s magnificent
architecture."
This girl is blowing up the world of fashion.
The only question that rises from my mind is, why did she choose to be a VS Angel? I think she's much too high fashion for that. Thoughts?
