Liam Hemsworth To Create Fashion Label

A helping hand from his future bride.

Miley Cyrus is reportedly helping fiancé Liam Hemsworth launch his own fashion line.

The American singer was found scouting out trade shows in New York, while her husband to be was filming his next movie Paranoia. Miley Cyrus has been advising Liam on his future business plans. She has been quoted in saying “Liam’s looking to get his start in the business, and may be thinking of launching a label of his own”

Our note: Well if you’re a regular reader to our blog you’d realise that we’re not a fan of “aspiring actors with no fashion credentials who want to be fashion designers”. A name can only get you so far, we feel that actors should stay in their day time profession and commit to that. Successful fashion labels require a lot of time, technique and creativity can Liam Hemsworth accomplish we feel he cannot … but we still wish him the best if he does

Christian Dior Paris 2012

Raf Simons debut Christian Dior line at Paris Haute Couture Week.

Yesterday marked the official arrival of Raf Simons under the Christian Dior banner with an offering of highly coveted couture gowns and attires that had made the entire fashion world drool during Paris Haute Couture Week 2012.

Regarded as one of the most highly anticipated designer debuts in fashion history, Raf Simon’s use of a mixture of modern and pre 1950’s décor was prominent in this collection. The line was very clean and had a touch of femininity about it. Simon’s debut line is a true homage to Dior’s ideology.  

However it must be said that the Belgian designer had injected his own twist to the collection as we had previously stated his designs may not always scream out femininity an ideal example would be of that of his first look a tuxedo featuring a bar jacket, it seems that he has used his past endeavours at Jil Sanders as part of his muse for this collection. Barring a few looks there had been a spread of amazing party frocks, couture gowns and dresses that captured Dior’s essence and judging by this collection it may be hinting to Dior fans of the route the creative director plans to take (a more youthful direction).

Our note: The Paris collection was far from being beautiful, a clichéd note to say but it was beyond anything of which the fashion world has seen, with such an array of pieces each beautifully crafted to create an image of a youthful era, we feel that Raf Simons demonstrated the ability to not only capture the Dior’s iconic image but he encapsulated the future of the fashion world.  

It would a little sadistic to call Raf Simons a virtuous replacement for John Galliano because the fact is what Galliano had produced for Christian Dior was unprecedented, Galliano paved the wave for the modern and chic image that Dior are renowned for in this modern age, however it must be said that Raf Simons is paving the wave for a newer and a refreshed take on the modern and chic image that Galliano had instilled as creative director, we feel that Raf Simons has the potential to take and catapult Dior to an even greater height and the is indication is evident in his debut collection.
 

Congratulations to Christian Dior and to that of the amazing Raf Simons.

Fashion Against Arms Trade

Keira Knightley,  Vivienne Westwood,  Helena Christensen , Jane Birkin and Sophie Dahl were among the many that have teamed up to help Oxfam and Amnesty International  to urge the United Nations to improve rules and regulations of the arms trade around the world.

We would like to state a horrid statistic there are two bullets to every human being in this global world this means that an estimated figure of 12 billion bullets is being produced per annum.

The long list of fashion figures have signed a letter that will be given to the UN Secretary General addressing the need for “a strong and effective treaty” that will be internationally bound and that would help protect human rights by preventing the flow of arms into reckless arms users.

The letter further states “With so few global rules governing the arms trade, no one really knows where all those bullets will end up - or whose lives they will tear apart. Under the current system, there are less global controls on the sales of ammunition and guns than on bananas and bottled water. It's a ridiculous situation."

Out note: We have always said that the fashion industry has always had a profound effect on a vast amount of people, fashion followers can be in the hundreds of millions and we must acknowledge that those who are participating in this movement have shown humanity, compassion and benevolence to those who may not even have the human right to do so.

The document will be put forward to the UN ahead of a world government meeting today, which will agree an Arms Trade Treaty.
