Trendwatch
Hey, Trendsetters!
Cara Delevigne recently returned to the modeling world as the face of Saint Laurent’s “La Collection de Paris” campaign. In this collection, Hedi Slimane paired the fitted dresses, jumpsuits, skirts, tops and pants with a large leather belt worn at the waist, adding a unique touch of uniqueness to the outfits. Most of the coats and jackets in this collection are slightly oversized and are worn layered over a fitted dress. “La Collection de Paris” is Hedi Slimane’s final collection for Saint Laurent, for he announced his departure from the fashion house last week, leaving behind a legacy that will not be forgotten by those who loved the edgy rocker vibe he brought to the brand.
Speaking of edgy, the simple black choker trend has made a huge comeback these past few months. Models and celebrities are seen pairing these simple accessories in their everyday look. Black chokers are easy to pair with outfits and can either be dressed up or down depending on your mood. They can be worn with a plain white t-shirt for a casual look or paired with a black bodycon dress for a more sophisticated look.
This week, Zaffie Lawal ’17 stuck with neutral colors in her shearling lined oversized denim jacket, black cotton sweater, black high waisted pants and black ankle boots. Jake DellaPasqua ’16 channeled spring in a colorful hawaiian shirt, a matching pink hat and khaki shorts. Alma Hong ’17 looked simple and stylish in her light gray coat, slightly oversized turtle-neck and white sneakers. Hannah MacKay ’17 looked chic and edgy in her black mock neck crop top, blue skirt and black heels. Yena Cho ’16 wore an all-black ensemble, with an edgy leather jacket and black booties. JP Mullins ’17 kept it classy in a colorful neck tie, black blazer and red pants.
Socialite and model Gigi Hadid recently returned from a vacation in Venice with her heart-throb boyfriend Zayn Malik. Mario Testino photographed images of their trip for Vogue, in which Hadid wore clothes from all spectrums of fashion. In one image, she is shown wearing tartan and white pumps on the balcony overlooking Venice. In another, she is on a motorcycle in red leather pants and wind-blown hair. Talk about a flexible fashionista!
We hope the snow isn’t bringing you down. Have a fabulous (and hopefully sunny) rest of the week!
Stay stylish,
Caroline and Tanya
