Victoria’s Secret has made its famous return to New York after five years off the runway and came back more inclusive and diverse as promised.

The show was kicked off with Gigi rising up from under the runway in a soft pink playsuit and the classic Victoria’s Secret wings, followed by more Angels in an array of soft pinks and whites creating a charming and dreamy start to the show, including debut from plus-size model Devyn Garcia, who kickstarted Victoria’s Secret’s new image.

This year Victoria’s Secret was represented by two transgender models – Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio who has worked with them since 2019, and a new addition of Alex Cosani. As Victoria Secret promised to “celebrate all women”, plus size models Paloma Elsesser and Ashley Graham also strutted down the runway making multiple extravagant appearances.

Kate Moss made a surprise debut on the runway in a powerful, dark, lace outfit, with feathered wings, joined by daughter, Lila, in a bouncy pink jacket with unique wings spelling out ‘Lila VS’ in cursive – the perfect way to assemble the mother-daughter duo.

After Kate, a dark, metallic theme emerged and here is where we saw the inclusivity really begin and Victoria’s Secret fulfilling their promise to fans. We watched Valentina Sompaio walk the runway with giganantic bow-like wings, followed by plus-size model Kai Soleil, and later featuring Miss Tyra Banks closing the show.

As that section continued, we saw legendary Irina Shayk covered in stars followed by Joan Smalls in the most intricately carved wings, adding her finishing touch to that section.

As the models walked, attendees couldn’t keep their eyes off the shoes, all meticulously created to correspond with one theme and match each specific outfit. The shoes wrapped around the models’ legs, some with flowers or wings, others in a diamante style or plain and simple.

Plus-size model Ashley Graham opened the following section in a lace lingerie set with gold embellished wings and shoes to match. We got given a dark and sexy vibe, again heavily featuring red and black. Alessandra Ambrosio made her anticipated return in a sensual lingerie bodysuit, along with a debut from Jill Kortleve – another plus-size model feature this year, in a gorgeous flower number.

The fourth and final section began with an unexpected Cher performance and a lot of red to strongly finish of the show. Here we saw an influx of the original Angels closing the show with a bang, including Candice Swanepoel, Grace Elizabeth and Adriana Lima, accompanied by the new faces of VS.

The show was thought to be closed by the second Hadid Sister – Bella, in a ‘black swan’ feathered robe, opposite to Gigi who embodied the white swan in the opening. However, as the audience wondered whether she was coming out, the OG Tyra Banks rose from beneath the stage in a shiny corset and robe, and closed the show surrounded by all the angels.

The show reflected Victoria’s Secret in a new light, as they listened to criticisms and created a more inclusive and diverse show. We can’t wait to see more from them in the future.

Leopard print has a rich history, it is a print associated with power, status, and luxury. In the 20th century, it gained popularity among Hollywood celebrities, especially during the glamorous eras of the 1950s and 1960s, where it became synonymous with elegance and boldness. Leopard print is also a huge staple in the indie sleaze style, with some of our favourite “cool girls” donning the print as their IT girl uniform.

One example of this being Alexa Chung. Previously known for modelling, being a TV personality and her relationship with Alex Turner, the lead singer of one of the biggest bands of the last few decades, the Artic Monkeys and overall being generally chic. Alexa‘s use of leopard print is the effortlessly cool look we all strive for.

Another iconic use of leopard print is when Naomi Campbell wore it head-to-toe at Azzedine Alaïa’s autumn/winter 1991 show – an image which is a key feature on the aesthetic Pinterest boards of fashion loving Gen Z’s.

What gives leopard print it’s appeal is ability to transcend seasons and trends – which is further reason that we shouldn’t overdo it with it becoming “trendy”. One designer that’s built it’s brand image alongside it’s avid use of leopard print is Dolce and Gabbana. Recently, Kim Kardashian was the creative director of one of their runway shows in Milan as well as being a new face to the brand. A lot of the looks were 90’s inspired which in turn, included a lot of leopard print.

What gives leopard print it’s appeal is ability to transcend seasons and trends – which is further reason that we shouldn’t overdo it with it becoming “trendy”. It is a print that isn’t limited to any specific time or occasion. We’ve already seen more of the print on runways and in designer collections, and in fast fashion stores. One designer that has made leopard print a big part of it’s collections and overall brand image is Ganni. Their frilly collared shirts and leopard print jeans being two pieces that particularly stand out to us. Since we view leopard as a neutral, we can almost excuse the price tag. However, a few more budget friendly options are Damson Madder, Asos and Jaded London.

The post 2024 Trends: The Resurgence Of Leopard Print appeared first on Voir Fashion.

The collection was created by a perfect trio – launched by highstreet hero
Zara, faced by legendary supermodel Kate Moss and styled by former Vogue Paris
editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt. This is a collection to top all party wear collections.

Shot by renowned British fashion photographer David Sims, the edit is in black and white,
paying homage to Alt’s signature monochromatic style. Yet Moss’s influence is apparent from
the references to her iconic looks and 90s party girl aesthetic. It encaptures the free spirit of the city of Paris whilst oozing glamour, smokiness and sex-appeal.

The collection consists of 25 garments, eight shoes, and four accessories including floor-length
dresses, bustiers, trousers, rhinestone embellishments, heeled sandals and jewellery all in a
black, white, and metallic palette.

Divided into two drops – ‘Into the Night’ and ‘Into the Classic’ – the capsule offers wardrobe
essentials that can also be worn for special occasions.

Stepping out a car to a crowd of flashing cameras, Kate looks a million pounds in this
floor-length shining gold camisole gown as it takes center stage in this shot against the dark
Parisian night. The simple tailoring skims perfectly across Kate’s body; paired with a black fringe
coat and limited accessories, the dress speaks for itself.

Kate looks elegant yet sexy in this smoky monochrome shot which screams Parisian chic.
Wearing a fitted bustier and tailored trousers paired with a rhinestone bracelet, the outfit
accentuates the female form as it draws in the waist while exaggerating the hips and bust.

This shot depicts ultimate elegance as Kate walks across the dark streets of Paris. The
long-sleeve floor-length wrap dress is made daring with a low v-neck and soaring thigh-high split paying homage to the French style of showing a little but not too much. A silver belt and black
heeled sandals are all that’s needed to complete this look. It is classic, feminine and provocative.

The post Zara ‘Into The Night’: Kate Moss’s Parisian Party Wear Collection appeared first on Voir Fashion.

All things Y2K have come back with a bang, and this includes the talents of the supermodels who defined the 90s and early 2000s. In a collaboration that combines nostalgia for the catwalks of a bygone era with our modern demand for athleisure, Kim Kardashian has chosen the legendary Kate Moss as the face of her home clothing brand Skims. “I met Kate for the first time in 2014 through Ricardo Tisci and I was immediately impressed by her cheeky humor, authenticity and classical beauty: we have been friends ever since!” Kardashian tweeted to announce the partnership.

During Kardashian’s recent controversial trip to the Vatican, the couple was spotted along with Moss’s model daughter, Lila. “She is the fashion icon, which defines an entire generation of style and I am honored to present her as the new face of @SKIMS this summer!” Kardashian continued on.

Earlier, other famous faces that modeled for Skims included Tiktok star Addison Rae , the Y2K icon and the socialite Paris Hilton, and of course Kim’s sisters Kendall, Kylie, Kourtney and Khloé. The home clothing brand has received a lot of press recently as it has been named the official underwear brand of the United States Olympic team for this year. The launch of the US Team included home clothing, pyjamas and underwear for American athletes competing at the Tokyo Olympics, making Skims the first brand to become an official collaboration with the American team.

Skims has made a lot of likes anticipating a couple of images from the campaign, taken by the photographer Donna Trope, where the supermodel wears some pieces from the Skims collaboration. The ad instead will debut tomorrow on streaming platforms.

These are busy days for the entrepreneur Kim Kardashian. After being placed in the Forbes billionaires’ squad, she started rebranding her cosmetics line KKW beauty. Skims instead, founded in 2019 together with Jens Grede, was talked about in recent weeks, for its valuation at 1.6 billion dollars, and the partnership with the American Olympic team signed in June, as well as the retail expansion plans inaugurated with the opening of a pop-up in Los Angeles.

From heroin chic to London look, as Miss Moss turns 47, we look back at the photos that defined her career.

1. The Face 1990- Shot by Corrine Day

Kate Moss may have started her career in ‘88, but she found her break 2 years later when she got the front cover of British culture and fashion magazine The Face. Posing in feathers and boho chic on the beach, Kate’s 16-year old smiling face on the cover gave her the start of success.

2. Calvin Klein 1992- Shot by Herb Ritts

In 1992 Kate modelled for Calvin Klein’s underwear campaign, with Mark Wahlberg, known by ‘Marky Mark’ at the time. The controversial ad launched Moss into fame, as the world saw a more bare, waif-like model before them, much of a contrast to the likes of Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer.

3. Vogue March 1993- Shot by Corrine Day

Working with Corrine Day again, Kate embraced her waif look by channeling Twiggy and epitomising the London girl style in her first Vogue cover at just 19. Moss has gone on to be the cover of over 40 more British Vogue issues.

4. Calvin Klein Obsession Campaign 1993 – Shot By Mario Sorrenti

The same year, Moss was the face of Calvin Klein’s Obsession fragrance campaign. Not only did these adverts give Kate supermodel status, but this fragrance campaign became an iconic moment for the Calvin Klein brand, so much so that the archive was reopened and used again by Raf Simons for the Calvin Kelin Obsessed campaign 25 years later.

5. Face of Rimmel 2001

After 13 years in the business, Kate was still going strong, becoming the face of Rimmel Cosmetics in 2001, the first face of the company since they were founded in 1834. Moss’ London girl look suited the British brand so well, and because of this she remained the face for more than 15 years.

6. Playboy 2014 – Shot By Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

For the magazine’s 60th birthday, Kate Moss made her Playboy cover debut. Wearing the classic Playboy bunny outfit, Moss, whose career had spanned 4 calendar decades by this point, posed for the cover at 39 years old. Kate was 40 when the issue was released – to be the chosen icon at that age in a world of retirement at 28 is iconic in itself.

From transforming into your favourite character the moment you slip into their costume to feeling like Harry Potter in your graduation gown to turning into a real life princess in your wedding dress, the clothes we wear have the ability to empower and completely transform us.

How often have you felt too lazy to workout? Simple. Throw on some gym clothes and your motivation to exercise will increase. As the popular saying goes, you are what you wear.

To celebrate 100 years since women first gained the right to vote in the UK, SHOWstudio presents 100 Women; a fashion illustration exhibition held in London embracing female empowerment. SHOWstudio asked 100 of the most influential models, including Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Kendall Jenner to share an image of the outfit they wore that made them feel the most empowered, followed by a quote to explain why. Curator Bex Cassie then paired an artist for each look to transform into a fashion illustration. These personal moments celebrate the power of fashion in its ability to empower, unite and truly celebrate women.

From stripping down to her lingerie to sporting an oversized jacket to appear physically bigger, these women express the many different ways in which fashion can make them feel bold and fearless. The portraits include Kate Moss in David Bowie’s original playsuit from the 1970s which gave her the confidence to step on stage, Victoria Beckham in a photo taken by Nick Knight for British Vogue in 2008 and Kendall Jenner donning a sexy black gown on the Met Gala 2017 red carpet which made her feel “strong, confident and proud.”

According to a study by the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we are more likely to take on whatever associations we have with a piece of clothing and express them. Wearing a particular item of clothing can give you confidence, thus making you a stronger individual. People often associate femininity with long locks and “feminine” clothes such as dresses and skirts. This exhibition provokes and challenges the conventions of femininity with Cara Delevingne who had to shave her head for a film saying,

“At first I felt very self-conscious and confused because my long hair had been attached to a feeling of femininity. I felt empowered by this look [Chanel S/S 17 Couture] because I finally realised that beauty has no right or wrong. Beauty has no definition. To be truly beautiful you have to love yourself and that’s all that matters.”

Twiggy chose an image of herself rocking a Tuxedo taken by Brian Aris for her last album ‘Romantically Yours’.

Today, women are still expected to keep up with trends and look fashionable, which is why it is empowering for women to be able to make their own decisions when it comes to fashion and feel confident in doing so.

100 Women is open to the public at 22D Ebury Street until 31st January 2019

After her recent Birthday, Voir is revisiting our cover story ‘Get Mossed’ written by Hannah Oulton for Issue 15. Take inspiration, or simply drool over.

Search for Kate Moss on the internet and a refreshing page of results returns. Masses of imagery (imagery of her work, not her mishaps), innumerable articles on her iconic campaigns, how-to guides on her latest style hacks and cover girl stories that only skim the surface of her notoriously private life. Want something that really gets under her skin? You’ll have a tough job. Even in the most candid of interviews and photo shoots, Kate Moss remains one of the greatest wonders of the world.

Discovered at 14 in JFK airport by Sarah Doukas, Kate Moss had a look of stark contrast to the models of the moment – Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer…leggy and curvaceous. Shorter than the supers of the 90s with killer cheekbones and a smattering of freckles, the young beauty was labelled the ‘waif’ and the rest is, quite frankly, history. She was an instant hit with every designer and photographer she ever worked with; Galliano, Testino… you know no biggie.

Her signature shoot with Corrine Day was stunningly raw, emanating beauty in a guileless way. Kate Moss was a little girl from Croydon with a big-time attitude paving her way through the industry like it was a piece of calorie-free cake. Over 300 magazine covers later, ties with almost every revered fashion house in the world and her grunge-chic style as her trademark; Kate Moss was embroiled in fashion forever.

Kate is described as simply irresistible. The term ‘Get Mossed’ is her signature move: go out with Kate, stay out with Kate. She won’t let you go home until she’s ready to hang up her dancing shoes. BFFs with Naomi and Christy (Campbell and Turlington, first name terms here ahem) who took her under their wing when she was in the height of her 90s reign, Mossy caused quite a stir in the modelling world. Did we mention she also dated the death-defyingly handsome Johnny Depp? Like Daisy from The Great Gatsby, she is all fun with more heart. And now I need to be her best friend.

Her latest campaign for French fashion house, Equipment, is simply divine. The wondrous pairing of Miss Moss with Daria Werbowy (sa-woooon) is playfully fun-loving yet beautifully intimate. The clothes are undeniably wearable (beach, lunch, cocktails we’re not picky) and the artistry and creativity is down to the models themselves. Letting go of the reigns, Equipment trusted the experience and talent of Moss and Werbowy to make this their most successful campaign yet. Do you know many people who would refuse Kate, Daria, a deserted island and Equipment finery?

Mossy has an exhibition in the Victoria and Albert Museum, a book dedicated to her work with Mario Testino and 20 years of uninterrupted success…was there ever a time when she wasn’t the best at what she does? We can’t seem to fathom it! That Kate Moss contagious smile and raucous sense of humour makes her human, her relentless work ethic makes her superwoman and her innate role of matriarch makes her a heroine. Short skirts and big attitude makes this model one of a kind and one we are proud to call our own.

Kate Moss is the proverbial English rose with just a few thorns to break the stereotypical mould; an institution in her own right. She practically epitomises the 90s; with the exception of a shell suit and Oasis…but then again, she was best friends with Noel Gallagher so she had that one covered.
