Maria Grachvogel Ariel Quartz Dress

2011-02-13T15:22:00.000-08:00

£2960 Maria Grachvogel Ariel Quartz Print Satin Dress worn with Azzedine Alaia belt.

Quote from Maria Grachvogel's website about the dress:

This is one of my Artwork prints that I digitally engineer within the shape of the garment and they are printed and made one by one. The Quartz print was inspired by the beautiful patterns formed naturally in agate rocks and has been designed to echo the contours of your body, creating a beautiful fluid effect. The Ariel dress is one of my personal favourites from this collection. It has a fabulous diaphanous quality to it and it is an extremely versatile piece. It looks great with flat sandles or wedges worn as a city day to evening dress and looks equally fabulous with heels as a show-stopping black tie look. The Ariel is cut with an A-Line skirt shape to flatter the hips, tummy and thighs and the waist is enhanced with its skinny belt. The top comes with an invisible hook and eye on the neckline, which means it can be worn with a bra or alternatively left open to the waist for a dramatic look. The plunging neckline curves around the bust so the front won’t pop open. The printed satin flows beautifully and moves around the body like water. The Ariel dress is also available in Jade satin chiffon.

30th March YLB Spring/Summer collection launch

2010-03-18T19:12:00.000-07:00

I've been eagerly anticipating this date, but it just happens to fall when I'm down in London for a gig. No doubt I'll be wrestling control of my friend's i-Phone to take a peek at the collection.

Other preview images can be found in an earlier blog post.

And do keep an eye on the YLB items in the Wallis sale as items from the last range do appear there from time to time at bargain prices. But grab them while you can, sometimes there's literally just the one item to be had!

As a side note, an article that recently appeared in The Telegraph named Yasmin as the only designer on the highstreet to be producing fashions wearable by stylish over 40s "that are both elegant and alluringly ageless".

I've just hit my thirties and have recieved nothing but praise and envy for the pieces I've worn, and my gorgeous friend Charley who is in her twenties looks phenomenal in them. We tend to team them with items from Vivienne Westwood just because I think Vivienne and Yasmin are our fave rave designers of the moment.

Fashion archivists: Yasmin and Amber Le Bon

2010-02-18T18:19:00.000-08:00

By Nancy Holbrook. Photographs by Tara Darby
Published: 09 Apr 2009
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

There are few sentences guaranteed to thrill a fashion-obsessed 19-year-old more than: ‘There is a trunk of Azzedine Alaïa in storage, just waiting for you.’ This is what Yasmin Le Bon reminds her eldest daughter, Amber. Since Le Bon’s hugeshouldered Alaïa jackets and bulky trousersuits from the 1980s are far from wardrobe-friendly, she stores much of her Alaïa in a lock-up.

Le Bon started archiving special garments at the height of her career as a model. Even then she valued their worth – in the case of Alaïa, quite literally: Alaïa never used to pay his models, giving them clothes instead. On several occasions Le Bon forked out for her own flights and accommodation to appear in his runway shows in return for an outfit or two. But she also found it hard to toss out particular garments embedded with memories. Her collection is 100 pieces plus.

But why go to all the trouble of archiving her most treasured and valuable pieces in a lock-up as well as her closet at home? ‘It’s not just about the space restrictions of a wardrobe,’ Le Bon explains. ‘When clothes get to a certain age, you have to stop hanging them and start wrapping and laying them flat in boxes.’ But some pieces just don’t last. ‘I have several Alaïa bodysuits from the 1980s that just appear sullen. Clothes with elastane in them are difficult to archive because any kind of rubber degrades over time. Every year I re-evaluate and pull out pieces for Amber, who is now old enough to wear these pieces, and wants to, because fashion-wise they feel relevant once more.’

Meanwhile, prized pieces that are worn regularly are hung in plastic dry-cleaning bags in Le Bon’s fit-to-burst walk-in-wardrobe. Overstocking has resulted in several casualties; the latest emerges today – a vintage 1960s chiffon gown which, through poor storage, has a torn hemline – just as well Le Bon has a good tailor to hand. Amber is rifling through it. This inventory – or rather raid – occurs every few months when Le Bon feels generous enough to pass pieces on. Amber tries her luck at scoring a full-length, balloon-sleeved, ivory Ossie Clark gown, which hangs beautifully on her lithe 5ft 10in frame. Her mother, however, isn’t quite ready to let go of it. Le Bon tells me with a smile that this is a well practised routine of sartorial tug-of-war.

In truth, plenty has already come Amber’s way. ‘I’m thrilled that Mum kept hold of so many pieces, and lucky that we’re a similar size so I can wear them,’ says Amber, who possesses a slightly narrower ribcage but otherwise is identical in size to her mother. ‘Plus, I hate shopping, and these clothes come with the added bonus of already being worn in, lived-in even – there is nothing better.’ There is the blue-and-white Pucci print cotton sundress that her mother bought from a second-hand store in Florida on a modelling assignment 20 years ago; a pink Comme des Garçons dress that Rei Kawakubo gave her when she was pregnant with Amber; a black leather biker jacket from the 1980s, and an Antony Price sage-green lace prom dress.

Le Bon admits that it can be strange seeing her daughter in clothes she once wore. But not as strange as it is for many of her contemporaries. Take, for example, the time Amber wore a black, button-through, short-sleeved Alaïa dress with flirty hemline to a fashion show at Claridge’s hotel. ‘Naomi [Campbell] was there and she hadn’t seen Amber for a long time. She took one look at her in this dress and was speechless. She was shocked because she has so many memories of me in this dress. I used to wear it every day with riding boots, it was my uniform,’ Le Bon explains. ‘This dress means more to me than any other piece because it has been everywhere and seen everything – it’s as old as Amber.’

Le Bon has two younger daughters, Saffron, 17, and Tallulah, 14, both eagerly awaiting their share of her wardrobe. Currently there is a squabble over a sporty tote-shaped Tod’s handbag. But when things get fraught, there is always Le Bon’s threat: ‘Maybe I’ll donate to the V&A…’ which, not surprisingly, puts an end to most quarrels.

Yasmin Le Bon ’expresses herself’ through jewellery

The British supermodel - who recently launched her own clothing line with UK high street chain Wallis - thinks layering accessories is the easiest way to look on-trend.

She explained: "I find that I’m playing with jewellery a lot more now than ever. Now that we have all sorts of incredible costume jewellery, we can easily update or change the whole look and feel of an outfitt.

"It’s the easiest way to express yourself and your mood without making a huge commitment in time, effort or finance."

Yasmin - who is married to Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon, with who she has daughters Amber, Saffron and Tallulah - added she has always been interested in producing her own clothing range, and is thrilled with the way her family have reacted to the line.

She told Britain’s Now magazine: "I think it’d be impossible to have spent 26 years in the business and not be interested in the design process.

"Although my kids are pretty young, they’ve all been singling out their favourite pieces in the collection. It’s very flattering to have their seal of approval, but I think I’ll have to limit them!"

Yasmin's tips for storing fashion

Yasmin Le Bon colour codes her clothes

The 44-year-old model stores all her pieces in tissue paper and with appropriate shades to ensure they last as long as possible.

Discussing how she cares for her body-conscious dresses, Yasmin explained: “I have a lot of Azzedine Alaia. I did all of Azzedine’s shows. I wrap mine in acid-free tissue paper and layer them in trunks, graduating the colours so the darkest items are att the bottom and the lightest at the top. Colours drop, even through tissue paper.”

Yasmin is a huge fan of figure-hugging clothing, adding she keeps all her old pieces in case they come back into fashion.

She told Britain’s Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “There’s a subtle art to making body-con work. The really great stuff, the really expensive stuff, has little elements of ribbing in the right places that accentuate certain parts and downplay others. Those pieces are always going to be an investment.

“Never let go of anything – unless it’s absolutely life or death – because you just don’t know when it’s going to come round again.”

Shopping for Up-To-Date Style

2010-02-06T11:02:00.000-08:00

A few tips for those of you trying to hunt down some of these pieces to add to your own wardrobe.

http://www.shopstyle.co.uk/
For those who haven't time to hunt out the bargains and specific pieces, head over to Shop Style and let it search some of the top internet fashion sites for you.

Remember to use the little national flag selector on the top banner wisely. If you don't want to pay international shipping, set it to your own country. If you just want your item, choose international.
You can search via brand name, style, item or design details. Make it easy for yourself and narrow or widen your search as required.

http://www.net-a-porter.com/
Usually the first online stop for lovers of high fashion. Don't expect frequent bargains on here, but do expect to find an excess of the latest red carpet fashion at your finger tips.

Register to get email notifications of when the sales hit and be sure to update your selections of favourite designers so that you can be notified when their new stock arrives. There's also a wish list function to make use of.
Despite the difficulty of trawling through all of the items, it's well worth hitting at sale times for grabbing the latest pieces at a cut down price.

http://www.theoutnet.com/
Well worth the wait for end of season stock with an array of amazing designer pieces available to you at bargain prices. Frequent stock updates and styling tips.

Again, it's well worth registering in order to get email notifications. They tend to get a pile of new stock from the same designer at once and always at great prices, so hang in there for your favourites.
The sale time prices for the real deal on here are often cheaper than shopping for the high street rip-offs. Save your pennies, avoid the sale riots and shop online to get perfect covetable items in exactly your size.

http://www.cocosa.com/
Exclusive, invitation only, limited access to private designer sales at breathtakingly low prices. I also like how the items are posted out in a cute be-ribboned designer shopping bag to almost give you the full boutique experiance. It makes me want to walk round the block carrying it before undoing the ribbon and unwrapping the items from the monogrammed tissue paper.

You can sit on the waiting list to join this... or you could just use my invite code and get in there straight away. The terms and conditions state that I can post my invite code on a personal blog but I'm not sure if this counts as a personal blog or not. So just leave me a comment, email me or just shout out on GirlsOnFilm and I'll get an invite emailed direct to you from Cocosa.
Make sure to read their terms and conditions once you've registered. If you don't play nicely you're chucked out.
Keep track of what's coming up and check out the previews in advance of the sales. Check size availablity too. Items sell very quickly and are often in very limited quantity before the sales even start. If you think you want something, decide before the sale starts and be sat at your computer prompty at the start of the sale to grab it.

I have to admit that the sight of these shoes on Yasmin made me squeal with delight as they're possibly my favourite item in the "manolo blahnik drawings" book.

The cherry shoe was originally designed for Ossie Clark's 1971 show at the Royal Court Theatre. It was re-made after Ossie's passing in 1996, just in time for Yasmin to turn up in in a pair at the 1997 Louis Vuitton Classic.
