Antonio Marras invited us to his fairy tale, as the show began with a theatrical performance of an Italian romantic story, starring Filippo Timi and Anna Della Rosa, who wore impressive, patterned garments themselves. With an ivy-covered bower as the central scenery prop, the show included sensual, mesh, flowery dresses and breathtaking, theatrical, fuzzy jackets, mantles, and accessories. The governing idea behind many full-length dresses and mantles was to combine heavily patterned fabrics to create an original, mesmerising whole.

Marco Rambaldi

Flowery patterns on mesh dresses, varied combinations of textures, and playing with forms and fabrics were also the main ideas of Marco Rambaldi’s new collection “Memento Amori FW24.” Have a look at this playful pistachio dress with bikini-shaped ornaments, a set composed of a mesh top, vegan leather pencil skirt, and velvet patterned jacket, or a half-transparent, turquoise, crochet dress with a silver, silk tie, long black socks, and a comfy zip hoodie. In this mixture of wool, leather, mesh, and velvet, Rambaldi maintained a romantic vibe of his comfy, yet elegant and sensual looks.

Sarawong

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C30lg4BMtS5/?hl=en}

Ethereal, magnetic, nymph-like – these words best describe the collection “Blossoms Sand,” presented in Milan by SARAWONG. From full-length flowery dresses to a vegan leather jacket paired with a sequined skirt, SARAWONG combined sensuality and elegance with a magical touch. Look at the hypnotising facial expressions and vivid makeup of the models wearing delicate ecru velvet dresses or transparent white lace skirts – not forgetting about the massive, fuzzy hats, following the trend of fluffy fabrics and oversized, almost theatrical garments that we get to see in multiple shows.

Diesel

Diesel offered a more industrial, alien, and cosmic vibe than the other shows – but remained very sensual at the same time. There the patchwork got even more intense, and the fabrics even fluffier and heavier. The show was surely one to be remembered, with models wearing (fake) fur jackets, ripped flowery full-length dresses, patchwork jeans, and lion-like headscarves, walking with 1000 online viewers’ faces in the background. Diesel’s Creative Director, Glenn Martens, arranged this unusual show scenery, “creating a live mega-voyeur experience for everyone”. What added even more to the originality of the show was the avant-garde makeup and coloured contact lenses, creating an alien-like atmosphere. And maybe this time the show wasn’t about romantic fairy tales and nymphs, but it was still otherworldly and sensual – just a little bit edgier, and with a dose of industrial, cosmic vibes. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/diesel/?hl=en}

February 22nd proved that the 20th century still has much to offer to contemporary designers, inspiring them to rework the old forms. Day 2 of Milan Fashion Week brought 70s-like, oversized suits and jackets with padded shoulders, classy trenches, forever young turtlenecks and vests, all in basic colour palettes – black, white, grey, beige, and navy. However, the shows weren’t a mere tribute to the old days – the traditional forms of garments were experimented with, and bright and neon colours also found their way onto the runway. 

Calcaterra

Basing the collection “Materia” on considerably oversized, grey and brown suits and classic looks, Calcaterra experimented with the outfits, going for unconventional necklines, asymmetry, and artistic, flowery embellishments put on shoes and trenches, which gave them a fresh, avant-garde look. The traditional suits you’d normally wear to the office got a haute couture touch, thanks to the layers of silky fabrics, slit skirts and blouses. Trenches got gigantic pockets, and two-part, folded bags completed the outfits. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/calcaterrad/?hl=en}

MM6 Maison Marigela

_{https://www.instagram.com/mm6maisonmargiela/?hl=en}

MM6 Maison Margiela also opted for 70s-inspired sets of big trenches, smart turtlenecks and avant-garde bags (see the triangular red one!). Vests got prolonged, padded-shoulders jackets got a black, silk edging trim, paired with ripped green jeans, and the classic 70s suits looked like coming straight from a colourfest. Elegant, long black coats were turned into vests, completed by black, massive leather boots. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/mm6maisonmargiela/?hl=en}

Moschino

_{https://www.instagram.com/moschino/?hl=en}

Moschino’s debuting creative director Adrian Appiolaza offered a deconstruction of classic, old-school office looks, with models wearing shirts made into dresses, cotton boxer shorts, and carelessly worn ties in the show “Collezione 0.” Next to smart, black coats, there were paper boat hats and lingerie-inspired skirts. Good, old baggy jeans and comfy sweaters got a fresh look thanks to maxi ruffle skirts in red and pink. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/moschino/?hl=en}

Tom Ford

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C3x_iT5LJja/?hl=en&img_index=1}

Tom Ford’s show, directed by Peter Hawkings, was a celebration of the 70s iconic style at its fullest, with models looking like Hollywood divas from the era, wearing beige furs, golden sequined dresses, belted trousers, and brown square sunglasses. Ford experimented with classy maxi dresses, making them purple and transparent or glittering from top to bottom. The elegant, tailored suits were presented in velvet and satin, while the reinvented all-leather looks included skinny jumpsuits and crocodile-like, beige sets. Turtlenecks were both in modern, transparent mesh jumpsuits and as part of classic outfits with navy, gold-buttoned pea coats. 

_{https://www.instagram.com/tomford/?hl=en}

GCDS

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/C3qXHtBKb11/?hl=en&img_index=1}

The show by GCDS was the most extravagant composition of the old and the new, titled “Toys For Adults.” The Creative Director, Giuliano Calza, prepared classy leather sets and elegant white suits on the one side, and red fuzzy dresses, Hello Kitty bras, Polly Pocket, and Chucky accessories on the other, which were to help us rediscover our inner children: “beautiful kids, broken inside, tormented by expectations, suddenly forgot how to play. Gcds is a dream, is creation, but we all live with current demons in burgundy times,” explains Calza. And so, smart, padded-shoulders jackets were ornamented with huge roses, velvet evening dresses were accompanied by edgy Hello Kitty bras, and white suits followed sensual lingerie mesh sets.

The post Our Favourite Shows From Milan Fashion Week FW24 appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Prada

Every year, the Prada show is shrouded in secrecy as we await one of the most anticipated shows of the season. And this season, the Italian giant welcomed us into their effortlessly cool and chic home.

Greeting us in the front row of their Fondazione Prada base were the A-list guests in full: Rosalia, Kylie Jenner, Hunter Schafer, and Emma Watson, amongst many others. Co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simmons worked hard on their womenswear SS24 collection– and in it, they gave us the minimalist and elegant uniform we need to hustle as hard as they do.

But this time, their workwear attire and signature ugly chic aesthetic had an element of fun. Layered fringes, distressed floral patterns, and golden foil joined the otherwise monochrome colour palette. A master atjuxtaposition, Prada contrasted its signature boxy silhouettes with delicate pastel-toned organzapieces.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxisCFqI-7_/?hl=en}

For their Menswear SS24 follow-up show, you didn’t know what to gawk at first; the front row, the chic clothes, or the slime leaking from the ceiling.

Diesel

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxbBOi-qBVU/?img_index=1}

Expectations are sky-high when you’re on top, but somehow Glenn Martens met them once again. The ‘Only For The Brave’ collection lived up to its name as guests braved the rain to watch Diesel’s latest show. But that didn’t stir them from cheering and hollering as models walked through the Scalo Farini rail yard space (where Gucci used to show).

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxloxuhLmVd/?img_index=9}

The 7,000 people rager got especially loud when they thought Bella Hadid finally made her big runway reemergence, only to discover it was a lookalike model. But the triumphant return that really did happen was last year’s viral belt skirt– only this time it was half transparent. The naked look was a common theme too, with tight silhouettes in nude colours and underwear-gracing hemlines.

Although Martens did adopt trends like the ‘sheer dress’ and micro skirts, brand signatures also made an appearance. Denim-on-denim-on-denim was the name of the show, as trousers were triple-layered and the material distressed to the point of destruction. Some of the garments also had parodied movie posters (i.e. Batman) stamped on them. So much was going on, and yet the whole collection was somehow cohesive. Through an acid-washed and muddied colour palette, shredded jersey, and thrashed tuxedos, Martens created the ultimate stylish wardrobe for the apocalypse. Although the weather predictions proved awry, the forecast for today’s coolest brand is still positive: it is the moment.

Blumarine

If Diesel styled us for the apocalypse, Blumarine dressed us for heaven. Purity and romance shone a light on the usually Y2K-focused brand, with angel hues like violet, gold, and pristine white.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfK0QcryZh/?img_index=1}

Early aught stapes including tube tops, ultra-low waists, and wrap dresses still sneaked in an appearance though. And just in case you missed the theme, Nicola Brognano sent models down the runway with feathered wings on their backs. But those weren’t the wings stealing the show; Blumarine’s signature butterflies were everywhere from brooches, corsages, knitted patterns, and even as a devilish underwear bottom.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfazpQLsdk/?img_index=1}

This pop of mischief was sprinkled even more with the black skin-tight silhouettes, plastic dresses with metallic studs, and sheer material. With exquisite tailoring, tulle materials, and whimsy floor-sweeping gowns, Blumarine gave us an unexpected sophistication to their usual nostalgia, with an ethereal collection that beckons us to the light side.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxfXLyUrEi5/?img_index=1}

If the fashion world is praying to angels above, this season they’re bound to be dressed in Blumarine.

GCDS

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd3_sAK0vn/?img_index=10}

For their SS24 show, Giuliano and Giordano Calza replaced their usually bright and cheeky clothes with softer colours and more sophisticated designs. But they didn’t ditch their signature salaciousness altogether, showing barely-there shorts, tiny bras, exposed thongs, and plenty of sheer tank tops.

_{https://www.instagram.com/gcdswear/?hl=en}

Mia Khalifa and Alessandra Ambrosio watched from the front row as Calza turned up the notch on the Canadian tuxedo, presenting denim trench coats, mini dresses, and even knee-high boots. Inspired by the Calzas’ hometown of Naples, designs were also filled with Italian motifs and sailor stripes that had us dreaming of summering on the coast.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd1nUNKF9_/?img_index=1}

The brand didn’t shy away from that European luxe either, delightfully surprising us all by closing the show with very off-brand sequinned, voluminous evening gowns. This refinement was also obvious in the monochrome suits, structured sweaters, and silk trousers. A preppy element was injected into the show too, with shirts that read ‘TI AMO GCDS” and oversized varsity jackets that have us wanting to enrol in college to justify buying them.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxd24Dsq1Qn/?img_index=8}

Although this was an unexpected collection for the label, it still didn’t disappoint. When in doubt, choose GCDS.

Tom Ford

How do you replace Tom Ford at Tom Ford? Just ask Peter Hawkings. After working in close-knit with the designer himself for over 25 years, Hawkings presented his debut collection for the eponymous brand. And even if the name behind the brand is retired, the collection was Ford to its very core.

_{https://www.instagram.com/tomford/?hl=en}

‘Glamour, sexiness, elegances, and beauty’, in Hawkings’ own words. It was nothing disruptive but that wasn’t the point. It was a consistent reinforcement of the high-quality staples the brand is famous for, from the reinvention of Ford’s iconic 1996 belt buckle to the shirts unbuttoned past their navel. The colour palette was just as consistent, full of brown, cream, and black, with a brief interlude of pastel pink and blue hues.

_{https://www.instagram.com/tomford/?hl=en}

The show even homogenised men and womenswear, sending both genders down the runway in velvet suits and shiny mock croc. Before the British designer took the reigns the brand was in a ‘Parent Trap’ style situation, with Hawkings leading menswear from London and Ford womenswear from LA. Although the tiny shorts that were stars of the show were worn exclusively by the female models, it’s clear that the Tom Ford woman is approximating the man and vice versa. After establishing so strongly the brand’s codes into his SS24 collection, we can’t wait to see how Hawkings adds his own flair in the future.

_{https://www.instagram.com/p/CxnAyxaoBS4/?img_index=6}

But for now, we’re glad to say that Ford-the man, the legend, the legacy lives on.

The post Product Spotlight: How To Get Tom Ford’s 90s R&B Inspired SS22 Look appeared first on Voir Fashion.

This year’s New York Fashion Week hasn’t been like the others. With all the problems the pandemic has caused, the designers were left with a rather harsh question to answer with their new projects: what do you wear when the world is falling apart?From September the 11th until the 16th, during only the last 4 days, designers had to plan their runway shows in respect of safety measures with either a Livestream or a socially distanced audience. Yet, they have managed to portray a colourful and hopeful world through the lens of fashion. Among the many incredible and creative Spring/Summer 2021 ready-to-wear collections, we selected the highlights of the fashion week.

Jason Wu

As the opening show of the NYFW, Jason Wu’s collection didn’t fail its expectations. Set against a tropical background, the theme of the collection was an imaginative holiday in Tulum, Mexico. Surrounded by tropical plants, the designer showcased his bright and warm maxi dresses and suiting in bold accents of yellow, blue and orange. The garments feature different patterns: from vertical stripes to multidimensional flowers which highlight the silhouettes in bulky trousers and jumpsuits. Innovative is the use of a bra top above the flowy dresses.

Rodarte

Aimed at comfort, Kate and Laura Mulleavy’s new collection reflects a dreamy and fancy reality to emphasise the importance of making fashion during these trying times. Characterized by a bridal theme, the collection offers a tribute to the ‘40s dresses style with floral prints, handkerchief-like motifs and pastel shades. The comfort

resides in most of the garments with pyjama sets, soft track pants, silk sweatshirts, twill trousers and midi-skirts. Everything is then topped off with tulle or silk floral wreaths, bobby socks and lace gloves.

Christian Siriano

From the backyard of his home in Westport, Siriano presented his new glamorous collection to a socially distanced audience. Inspired by his childhood favourite films – which he binge-watched during quarantine time – the collection features a multitude of bikini tops, frocks, bulky ball skirts and patterned suits, all styled with Sarah Jessica Parker’s high heels line. The palette balanced neutral colours like black and white with more vivid ones, such as pink and red. While also spreading a relevant message with a dress covered in ‘Vote’ quotes, the designer retained his signature style with pronounced shoulder frocks, flamenco ruffles and winged sleeves. The highlight of the show was the red closing look worn by Coco Rocha who, willingly, stepped into the pool to gift the audience a wow-moment.

Tom Ford

Longing for an escape from the seriousness of this world, Tom Ford opted for an optimistic collection which, as he puts it, ‘will make you smile’. Inspired by a documentary about the fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, the designs are what you can expect from a fun collection: patterned silky pyjamas, bikinis, knit maxi dresses and vivid logo leisure sets. Throughout the garments, there’s a predominance of animal and floral prints, styled with eccentric accessories.

Zimmermann

Last but not least, Nicky Zimmermann showcased her ‘Wild Botanica’ collection inspired by her home country, Australia. From the title itself, we can understand that the collection is strongly influenced by the Australian flora and fauna: the garments feature, for instance, the prints of a botanical illustrator, Ellis Rowan, which depicts different kinds of flowers and birds. Each piece presents a unique feature: from lace crop tops and soft suitings to colourful puff dresses, linen trousers and Bermuda shorts. The simple but detailed silhouettes enhance the effect of the prints which make each garment easy to spot, even at a socially-distant range. The mixture of bold and bright prints makes the collection very feminine and soft, without the risk of being childish.

Autumn is around the corner, and the world is changing with it. Along with the new season come new fashion trends, pumpkin spices lattes, and new makeup. Mother Nature is repainting her canvas with a new palette- one that’s darker, fiery. Here are ten fall inspired palettes to help you choose your colour combinations this Autumn.

Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad

Tom Ford Eye Colour Quad

Retail: £68.00

This 4 palette collection includes a myriad of golden oranges, deep reds, and honey-toned browns. The packaging for all palettes is a sleek, black box with the Tom Ford logo written in gold writing on the front. The palette is plain black, elegantly simple.

Each quad palette includes a shimmer, a sheer-sparkle, a satin, and a matte shade. For ultimate versatility, each shade gives a different finish, and each one compliments eachother. The wet-dry formula gives even more options for the finish you want- a dry brush for a sheer finish, a wer brush for more intense pigmentation. The combination of dark and light shades means this Tom Ford palette makes it easier to achieve the perfect Autumn smokey eye.

Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette

Natasha Denona Bronze Eyeshadow Palette

Retail: £60

It’s hard to deny that this Natasha Denona palette can create the perfect Autumn look. With it’s combination of golds, nudes, and reds, it can create any look you want. From a high-impact smokey eye, to a subtle shimmer, it can do anything you need it to. The 15 shades are designed to compliment one another, while also being unique. At it’s core, it’s a study into copper- any way you could think to use copper can be done with this palette.

The pan is topped with a large mirror that takes up the surface of the lid. The exterior of it captures exactly what you’ll find inside; it’s a simple, reflective golden orange, with the brand name on the lid in slim, black writing. Like Tom Ford’s palette, the metallic shades are most vibrant when used with a wet brush, and more sheer with a dry brush, giving you complete control over the finishing look.

Morphe 24M Main Event Artistry Palette

Morphe 24M Main Event Artistry Palette

Retail: £29

The Morphe Main Event palette is a collaboration between Morphe, Mmmmitchell (British make-up artist), and Daisy Maskell (KISS evening presentor). Since Mmmmitchell burst onto the make-up scene a few years ago, he has been the embodiment of talent and skill. His looks always burst with colour, so it’s no surprise that he’s put together one of the most colourful palettes of this season. Unlike the previous two, this palette contains all the colours you could possibly need, in one place.

Each of the 24 shades are completely unique from one another, and the resulting effect of each forluma also varies. The mattes are soft and blendable, the metallics blinding, and almost every matte has a corresponding shimmer-shade somewhere in the palette. While the nudes and browns can create a quick and easy look, the brighter colours are bold and impactful and can be used to make a statement. The shade-names reflect the Main Event theme that it carries- in a normal year, August would have been concluding festival season. And this shade is a great substitute for what could have been.

Morphe 35C Everyday Chic Artistry Palette

Morphe 35C Everyday Chic Artistry Palette

Retail: £24.00

Cardi B’s gorgeous, fantasy-dream look is all you need to see to know how beautiful this pallete is. With a shade range that goes from ethereal pastels to chocolate browns, the Everyday Chic Artistry palette is exactly what it says on the tin- a palette you can literally use every single day. Each of the 35 shades is a new experience, a new tone. With icy blues and blush pinks cutting through the deep plums and emerald greens, this palette will carry you all the way until next spring.

The last three rows are perfect for fulfilling your Autumn looks this season, anyway you want to achieve them. The packaging resembles the majority of Mophe’s artistry palettes, and doesn’t take the spotlight away from the colours themselves. While this palette is exactly what you’d expect, it’s also as pigmented as you’d expect. Upholding the high quality Morphe name, the shades are creamy and soft, the shimmers adding that little bit of glam to every look.

Delilah Colour Intense Eyeshadow Palette in Damsel

Delilah Colour Intense Eyeshadow Palette

Retail: £34

This nine-shade palette is your perfect travel companion for this season. The small size and accompanying mirror means you can take it anywhere, always keeping it ready in case of an eyeshadow emergency. The packaging is a beautifully created, rose-gold compact with the brand name printed on the top, and comes in a velvet pouch for safekeeping. Described as “your one-stop wardrobe for show stopping eyeshadows,” the colour combinations in this palette give you complete freedom over the resulting look.

From low-key nudes to a high-impact black, there isn’t much else you’d need when readying yourself for a night out. The pigmentation is high, and the mattes blend seemlessly into a proffessional-looking finish. The formula contains micro-pigments, giving you a look that lasts all night.

Clarins Ombre 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette

Clarins Ombre 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette

Retail: £34

This stylishly simple, four-colour compact is the plum-dream that’s going to take your Autumn palette to the next level and is part of Clarins’ new Autumn collection for 2020. Each of these tones complement one another, working in tandem with each other to add an element of colour to the golden tones you’ll need this season. There are six variations of the gradient palettes, but this particular one- Rosewood Gradation– is the newest release in the collection. All four colours are shimmer shades, and the palette includes a blush pink, a light pink, a deep brown, and a striking mauve.

The shadows are enriched with bamboo powder and Vitamin E, which holds antioxidant and protective properties. The shades are designed to last on the eye for up to 12 hours. The packaging is also extremely simple- a round palette with a built-in mirror and companion brush. The outside is a rose-pink colour, and the palette arrives in a white square box that details what’s inside. This palette is most likely for those who want more basic looks- a single bold colour, or a coating of the blush pink for a lighter effect. That being said, the bottom row can certainly be used to create depth to any look.

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette- Walk of No Shame

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette- Walk of No Shame

Retail: £40 Another sturdy, travelsized compact to complete your travel necessities, this Charlotte Tillbury palette could be seen as similar to ones we’ve seen before, but has completely different capabilities. The square compact is topped with an elegent, chocolate brown shade. A gold slit runs down the centre, framing the Charlotte Tillbury logo. The shades were inspired by the hugely popular Walk Of No Shame Berry Matte Lipstick, and outcame three beautifully red and pink colours. A rose gold glitter, and three other shimmers complete the ensemble that sits neatly in the palette that almost reflects the colours of the shadows.

Both pigmented and buildable, you can create any look you want with this crimson quartet. A deep, red smokey eye, or a glowing lid- there are endless posibilities. Using a wet or dry brush can create different effects, and the three shimmer shades build from sheer to bold in seconds. With this palette, you can create an effortlessly vampy Autumn look to match your new wardrobe. As reds are in this season, you need those complementory tones at hand.

Revolution PRO 24k Gold Shadow Palette

Revolution PRO 24K Gold Shadow PaletteRetail: £10.50

This 18-shade palette was inspired by the glow of golden hour- the orange tones that dominate the sky as the sun sets behind the horizon. And it is- in a nutshell- everything you need this Autumn season. Ranging from glitter-golds to infinitely blendable matte shades, this palette can create any look you could possibly want to make. The browns and darker pinks create the perfect transition shades to give you a flawless blend, and the yellows and reds can create the ultimately fiery look that everyone needs in Autumn.

The packaging- as always with Revolution- doesn’t disappoint. Once again, they have thought outside of the box and created a work of art with this design. The entire palette is a gentle gold colour that becomes more intense on the top half of the lid. The bottom half is black, with small golden flakes flittering inside of it. The whole design radiates a metallic feel to it, and that’s only confirmed when you open it and see the multitude of shimmery shades. The possibilities here are endless, as all 18 shades can contribute to any look you could want this season. Retailing at £10.50, it’s one of the more affordable palettes on this list. And the quality doesn’t suffer, either, as each shade is incredibly pigmented.

Pat McGrath MTHRSHP Rose Decadence Eyeshadow Palette

MTHRSHP Rose Decadence Eyeshadow Palette

Retail: £50 This newly dropped Pat McGrath palette includes every sparkly shade you’re going to want this season. Based around pinks, the name Rose Decadence is truly appropriate for what’s inside and on the cover of this palette. From the intricate artwork on the packaging, it’s immediate to the buyer that they’re about to invest in something that is absolutely gorgeous. With pink roses decorating the baby-pink background and golden leaves exploding behind them, the packaging is genuinely so gorgeous that I just had to take a moment to sit back, and take it all in.

The palette has a built-in mirror and is fairly small, meaning it’s easy to travel with and use on the go. The champagne pinks and deep plumbs can take you from the desk to dinner in a matter of moments. Paired with another palette that has deeper colours, you could create some truly out of this world looks that stun everyone around you. The mattes are soft and creamy, the shimmers glistening, and the duo- chrome taking the combination of tones to the next level. Retailing at £50, it isn’t the most affordable of palettes, but the quality you get makes every penny worth it.

Colourpop Candy Castle Shadow Palette

Colourpop Candy Castle Shadow Palette

Retial: £18

Colourpop’s Candy Castle eyeshadow palette puts a fun spin on the pastel-hangover you’ll be having at the start of this season. These 10 shades will carry you into Autumn, the icy purples and mint greens there for you in the Winter, too. The palette is as sweet as it looks- the mattes are intensely pigmented with huge colour payoff, and the shimmers blind you instantly. The nudes and brown mixed with the blush tones means this palette is going to give you a bold look this Autumn, one that’s maybe a little less conventional (if that’s the kind of person you are!).

This nostalgic collaboration between the childhood boardgame is named after one of the places you’d pass through in the game and these memories will come rushing back as you use these gorgeous shades. The imagery on the front of the palette is also from the game- graphics you would’ve seen on the board. As thanksgiving and Christmas make their way towards us, it’s not unlikely you’ll be wanting something a little nostalgic.

The season of exposed skin is here, and although our usual summer activities like picnics in the park and days at the beach may be uncertain, we can still enjoy the summer fashionably soaking up the sun and working on our tans. Here are Voir’s top picks for our season summer dresses.

Shirtdress

The shirt dress, well the name speaks for itself this is a dress made from the classic shirt structure. The shirt dress is perfect for summer as it gives the work casual feel to the summer. This dress, like most summer dresses, is usually lightweight and white. Although the dress comes in the structure of a shirt, it can also be altered by the use of a belt or even a corset.

Maxi Oversized

The staple of the summer the maxi dress, the appeal of the maxi dress comes from its long flowy nature. Typically, the dresses are usually formfitting but cut to flow loosely over the body. The maxi dress is the one and done of the summer as this is the easiest to wear and work both indoors and out.

Fit and Flared

Tiered Dress

The tiered dress is more like a baby doll dress but tiered. With this dress think Lolita and all those vibes.

The post Get The Look: The Top Summer Sundresses for Every Occasion appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Based on my current state; I can confirm that had I gone into isolation with a boyfriend, I would have come out the other end of isolation ‘single’ again, as swiftly as we went into lockdown. Even I am getting bored of seeing my reflection in the shapeless 95 % cotton 5% elastane ensembles that I manage to find a different variation of every day. Is anyone else just a bit BORED? There I said it.One of the main issues being my extreme lack of motivation being completely house bound seems to be causing me. My current cure: a gin at 5, followed by another, followed by another, followed by another, (and if it’s the weekend) followed by another. To numb the fact that currently, the most exciting thing in my life besides a skype call with my dog and the occasional quiz with the girls is the daily rotation of PJs post 20 minutes of exercise I literally have to force myself to do (joggers if I’m feeling particularly put-together that day!).I don’t think any of us can deny how weird this indoors parallel universe the majority of us are suddenly having to adapt to is. Having entered isolation single, I have (shockingly) remained single throughout and I only have myself to worry about. However, there are those of you who are in the weird predicament where no sooner had you began officially ‘seeing someone’, with the term ‘exclusive’ cropping up once or twice, lockdown commenced. Then there are the fully established but new-ish couples who have chosen to isolate together- neither of you will admit it but this is a trial run should you choose to take the next step and live together.

Finally, there are those of you who have been with your other half since before time began. But the fact that you are now forced to be under each other’s feet all day every day is beginning to remind you why you have separate hobbies. I am unlucky in most aspects of my life, but I feel like (isolation-wise) I am finally one of the lucky ones. The only person I have to worry about being bored of the way I look is myself; and if I really begin to find it an issue, I can simply turn all 3 mirrors in my flat round and problem= solved. Those of you in a slightly more ‘taken’ relationship status than me (which isn’t hard) might be feeling torn between the side of you that just wants to slob about in your two-sizes-too-big grey joggers. And the side of you that wants to keep things spicy for your other half.Whether it’s for your partner, or for yourself, we have carefully picked out three outfits that help you find a perfect balance; comfy enough to lounge about the house in all day but will make you look and more importantly feel sexy. It’s time to spice up your isolation!
