London Fashion Week

MODELS.COM GOES BEHIND THE SCENES WITH PREEN!

March 5, 2013

via models.com:

London Fashion Week was filled to the brim with creativity and nowhere was that more evident than on the runway at PREEN With their punk infused, yet pretty fall collection designers Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi , explored fresh territory while never forgetting their roots. The femininity we’ve come to expect from Preen was still there, but it was given a new edge courtesy of a bold color palette and some edgy influences, like Derek Jarman’s cult classic Jubilee. Experience the collection for yourself with this thrilling behind the scenes fashion film, which takes you from the hair and makeup chair to right as the runway magic begins.

SEEN ON THE SCENE: CAPED CRUSADERS

February 15, 2013

Although here at CURVE we’ve been wearing this trend for a while, we’ve noticed it’s taken off in a huge way:  Using your jacket as a cape! It’s the new way to wear outerwear, and even allows you to wear more than one jacket!  It’s very chic, and you know how we feel about layering, so naturally we’re in love with this one!  See who’s ahead of the Curve below!

After my Burberry appointment, I met up with designer, teacher, and dear friend Richard Sorger at the Tate for lunch. Richard is immensely talented (we’ve carried his collection for years) and I’m glad to call him my friend….he’s always one of the first people I see when I get off off the plane****

The Showrooms: Burberry Global Headquarters in London

March 4, 2011

entrance to the Burberry showroom

First of all, the building that the Burberry showroom is in is amazing!!!  The history of Horseferry Road dates back to the 1600s.  But the Showroom itself??  Hands down the most technologically advanced showroom I have ever seen in my life!!  Suffice to say, I arrived quite tired – took a red eye from LA to New York, bought for two days straight, then ran from the Proenza Schouler appointment to the airport to the plane to Heathrow Express to a taxi to the showroom.  Yes, it was as exhausting as it reads!  But once I got inside, I forgot all of that ….
