Nikki Reed Chats About Her Exclusive Jewelry Collaboration with 7 For All Mankind

By Maxine Trowbridge in Fashion No Comments Tags: , ,

From Twilight to Starry Knight, Miss Nikki Reed, oh I mean, Mrs. Paul McDonald, (she married the ‘American Idol’ contestant October 2011) is emphatically adorable. The Twilight actress has collaborated with 7 For All Mankind on an exclusive jewelry collection. The capsule collection launched last week, but sweet Nikki arrived in Dallas to promote her collection at the 7 For All Mankind boutique in Northpark Center last night. Decked out in denim and jewelry, I sat sofa-side with Nikki and chatted about her latest jewelry venture.

Red Carpet Style At The Met, Punk: Chaos to Couture on Moda Operandi

By Maxine Trowbridge in Fashion 1 Comment Tags: , , , ,

Let’s talk punk! As an impressionable young girl fascinated with fashion and street style my Dr Martens and drainpipe jeans, were the closest I ever got to imitating a punk, although I do recall back-combing my hair, high above my head with copious amounts of hairspray, and rocking a Katherine Hamnett knock-off t-shirt. But, if we are really talking punk style, then without a doubt tartan, fishnets and spikes, dog-collar chokers, ripped t-shirts, a corset, leather, knuckle gloves, a mohawk, facial piercings, drainpipe jeans (in tartan preferably), Dr Martens and flashes of neon and graffiti are punk de rigueur.

Viktor & Rolf Chat At Forty Five Ten

Dutch mania! Last month I had the delightful experience of chatting with Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren of Dutch design duo Viktor & Rolf. Within the same week, the Dallas Contemporary opened its exhibition of Walter Van Bierendonck—coined The Cultural Ambassador of the Flanders. Add the recent abdication of Queen Beatrix and the new King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander—one must take note.

CD: I’ve always wanted to design fashion, but it was in my foundation year that I discovered that I wanted to specialise in footwear and went on to do a degree at Cordwainers in London.

Oscars 2013: Red Carpet Glamour

By Maxine Trowbridge in Fashion No Comments Tags: , , , , ,

It seems I had a full-blooded love affair with full-skirted gowns last night, given my favoured red carpet gowns worn at 85th Academy Awards in Los Angeles.  In true personal style, Jennifer Aniston looked radiant in a classic red, strapless Valentino gown—truly glamorous, yet perfectly true to herself.

Jennifer Aniston: Valentino.

Jennifer Lawrence scooped the Best Actress award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook and looked picture-book perfect wearing a white Dior Haute Couture gown.  If winning an Oscar wasn’t enough to talk about, a slip on-stage certainly made up for conversation—or answering ridiculous questions. Fortunately, Miss Lawrence has a sense of humour…

Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Fall 2013

By Maxine Trowbridge in Fashion 1 Comment Tags: , ,

Richly hued, and abundant with multifarious ornate textures, the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet Fall 2013 collection, stated anything but a wallflower. The Fantasy Street Style inspired collection took the notions of an edgy gamine—sophisticated, whimsical but most certainly street smart.

“In a moment when street style influences fashion more than ever, I wanted to create a fantasy inspiration for how the Alice + Olivia girl dresses every day,” mused Bendet. Anything goes in this perfectly mismatched collection of leather, lace, floral brocade, with suited styles, a bustier, layers of knits and vests, adorned with short full skirts, coats, metallic jackets, and distressed denim. A perfectly curated hodge-podge of whimsy that just simply defines a cleverly orchestrated collection.
