Hey LaPazions, so we’re back from the Brit Awards, which is equal to the Grammys. I have to tell you, as cold as it was here in London the stars showed up and out!! I mean I know for many of the ladies they wished they were like the fellas and could wear coats and turtleneck sweaters but, they donned some of the most fabulous gowns.

We want to start our review with Taylor Swift, who wore a gorgeous Roberto Cavallie Atelier gown- and she looked elegant and just effortless:This gown was all about the back detailing and that dragons tail going down the train of the gown, gave this such definition and and element of mystique. I thought Taylor wore this beautifully-She gets what it takes to look flawless.

Wow! Rita Ora is giving her passport and these Designers a real run for their money. I mean this starlet is just everywhere, we just saw her in LA at the Oscars, Grammys and now the Brit awards, which by the way she lost out to One Direction:Rita went with this stunning Zuhair Murad jumpsuit but, unfortunately this look had mixed reviews in our offices. Sonya LaRae-Editor-in-Chief; felt that this look was gorgeous but didn’t necessarily compliment Ora’s body-type. Sonya, felt that it needed a little altering to give more definition to her waistline and the legs could have been tailored more to give a little contouring. Others felt this look just was all that and some as well as, one of “The” best looks of the evening.

Wow-Kim Kardashian West just knows what flatters her body-shape and she didn’t disappoint one bit in this fabulous Crochet jumpsuit:I don’t really care what anyone else says about Kim, but one thing NO One can deny is that this girls figure is ridiculous!! She’s a new mother and has worked on getting her body-back into shape and I personally feel she looks better now then before. This risqué crochet jumpsuit is by Julien Macdonald and the detailing is breathtaking.

Little side note: Sooo, as you know the after parties are the must attend and we had the pleasure of attending the party for Madonna. Well low and behold in comes Kim K and Rita Ora in similar latex nude dresses-HMM what a huge faux pas!! Here we wanted to see who you thought wore it best: 

Pause, so one of the hottest models walked the red carpet and I’m sorry but, I just didn’t overly care for this look on Cara Delevingne:I know that Cara professes herself to be the tom boy of tom boys but, the hat is something I could have done away with. I mean she looked like she was trying to make the Amish style hip and hot even though this is Saint Laurent I just couldn’t feel it.

OMG! One of my favorite singers hit the carpet and I absolutely just love her music but, the look not so much:I don’t mean to be mean cause I absolutely love Ellie but, this gown just didn’t cut it for us here at Lapazimageing. The lace is beautiful but (major pause), it just gave us nightgown glam. We’ve seen Ellie at other events and she’s been on top of her style game, unfortunately, this just did nothing for her nor her stunning figure. We thought it looked rather matronly which; Ellie isn’t any of that.

Stop the presses-Hold the phone-Pull the plug!! I’m going to try and be nice to this next starlet cause I know she’s trying but, I’m sorry she just misses the mark each and every-time:

I’m sorry Charli XCX went with this Vivienne Westwood gown that just did nothing for her. What is going on with the gown it seems puckered and then the fit was just all wrong. I just would love to have this young women styled were she looks as edgy and fresh as her music.

Sam Smith took to the carpet in what I’m starting to say is his uniform:You know Sam is a big guy and these pants just, don’t flatter him and the look over the eyebrow pose is over rated. I know many of you love him and I happen to like a few of his songs but, something about him seems so contrived and fake. I don’t know if I buy into this shy kind of awkward approach or if its that he’s trying to recreate the Boy Gorge/Gorge Michael’s thing. I guess only time will really tell. Sam with with another Casely Hayford look and the color looks great up against his skin and blue eyes but, other than that it falls flat.

Then we have the always disheveled kind of grime grunge look from Ed Sheeran: I’m just going to leave Ed alone cause, I don’t have anything good to say regarding this look and with all the controversy flying on the airwaves-I think I’ll just say this: Ed please hire a stylist as soon as possible to give you a makeover.

We know that Janelle Monae basically wears here black and white as an homage to her mother who worked very hard as a housekeeper and it was her uniform so, Janelle basically incorporated this into her style and look:We love her story and the fortitude Janelle has but, even though she decided to rock this gorg Armani pant suit with a D&G blouse, we think its time for her to step her style up and show us a little diversity but; still holding true to her look and style. Janelle Monae, is a wonderful role model and she gives young girls and women someone positive, strong and passionate to look up to.

I could keep going cause there was so many stars that were out and took to the red carpet but, to see our full coverage make sure that you are one of our Exclusive LaPazions on our Facebook page located at: http://www.facebook.com/lapazimageing

Day 3-PFW Presentation by Joan Shepp

Hello LaPazions, so tonight was our first night here at Philadelphia Fashion Week; where I attended Joan Sheep’s Women of Substance and Style, that was hosted in her beautiful upscale boutique that carries elegant eclectic, high-end brands and up-and-coming Designers. The event tonight was presented or hosted by Ms. Tuesday Gordon-Gaines and attended by the whose-who of Philadelphia. Tonight’s event definitely had kind of three purposes, one that raised money and awareness for “The African American Children’s Book Project.” This organization provides parents, caregivers and educators around Philadelphia with tools for encouraging children to read. Second: They were honoring 44 successful women from a diverse professional background; and lastly it seemed as if every political hopeful was there to get signatures for their ballets.

I loved having the opportunity to see what the Philadelphia scene had to offer and I think Joan Shepp’s event made for a great launch into our experience of Philadelphia Fashion Week. The event was slated to start at 5pm so, needless to say I arrived just a little after 5pm and was shocked to see basically it was myself and maybe a handful of fashionably fabulous attendees were there. I loved the ambiance of the boutique but; needless to say there wasn’t adequate seating (standing room only), No clear direction of where the honoree ceremony would be taking place, No one keeping us informed regarding timeline and the biggest thing where is the runway? All and all though I found this was more of a mix and mingle type of event and I enjoyed meeting some of the whose-who of Philadelphia.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Autumn Williams who introduced me to her stunning mother Shari Williams and her father Senator Anthony Williams. They are truly a beautiful family and have such a warmth and genuine spirit:

Then I had the pleasure of meeting another fabulous Fashionista her name is Tiffany and I LOVED her look because, it reminded me of Charli XCX who wore Moschino at the Grammys and just didn’t bring it. Well Tiffany knocked this look out the box and did it with style ease:OMG! I loved this next ladies look so much because she was just owning her look from the hair the jacket the outfit I thought it was very fashion forward! Here name is Donna and I have to tell you she had such and amazing ora:Let me give you a little of the atmosphere of Joan Shepp’s glam boutique which is located at 1811 Chestnut Street in Center City Philadelphia:

Is Change Coming to MBFW

LaPazions, you are about to pass out and hit the floor! I’m guessing amid all the controversy in seasons past regarding a lack of “Diversity” Mercedes-Benz as well as Designers are hearing what the masses have been saying. Do you realize this fashion week marked and made major hurtles?  I know you all are thinking what exactly can you be talking about? This season we had a beautiful actress Jamie Brewer with down syndrome or DS, take to the runway during Carrie Hammer’s AW15 show and she slayed it!!  I mean her ora was dynamic and the energy and freshness she brought to the runway was Ah-mazing!! I absolutely fell head over heels for this actress now model:Then as if that wasn’t something huge, we go over to Desigual and they have Chantelle “Winnie Harlow” Brown-Young stopping the runway. Winnie Harlow (which is Chantell’s alter-ego) many of you may remember her from Tyra Banks “Next Top Models”- Needless to say this young lady is taking the fashion industry by storm and giving young women with vitiligo someone positive, confident and beautiful to look up to. Winnie Harlow is celebrating her difference, and told the BBC recently “that people are looking for people they can identify with, and that are real just as they are when they look in magazines or see fashion shows.” I for one think it is just stunning and I thought to myself this is what diversity is about:

You thought it stopped here well; you couldn’t be more wrong. Over at FTL Moda AW15 where several International Designer came together to present their collections in the theme “Made in Italy.” FTL Moda had a real shock and made major headlines because, they had models that were in wheelchairs. I mean- I think this is brilliant because, I know so many fashion forward wheelchair bound stylistas who love to look gorg and beat to death!! It was a celebration of what you can do and never to allow yourself to limit your possibilities no matter what life gives you. Plus on top of all that this was a benefit for spinal cord injuries at win-win for me. I loved that they had the first male amputee stomp the runway and he served it up:

This is how I see fashion week and I love that they are finally listening to what we the people want. This fashion week marks a new beginning and made major etchings into the soul of what is looked at as “normal.” I hope moving forward- that the powers that be in MBFW and for Designers to think and broaden their minds and creativity. I take my hat off to all the Designers that are pushing for change and for those that are willing and ready to bring forth bold statements!

I cannot wait to hear your feedback and what you thought in regards to the NEW Fashion Week.

Hello LaPazions, as many of you are aware February is National Heart Awareness Month but, did you know that women are leading the numbers in heart disease? Yes, it is true this is the number one killer of women because, most don’t even realize they have an issue with their heart.

Review of Herve Leger by Max Azria

LaPazions, OMG! I cannot begin to tell you how cold it is and, how hard it is to come to fashion week looking cute and not just bundled up.. I was never so happy to get inside and sit down and wait for the show to begin.

I’m very interested in seeing what Max and his ever so beautiful wife Lubov is going to present to us. I say that because when you think of Herve Leger you know it’s the signature bondage dress and; what exactly can you do to take it to the next level. Many are saying that Lubov took this seasons collection from the inspiration she got on her trip to Barcelona and taking in the Art Nouveau scene. Needless to say I’m sitting here with bated breath waiting for the first look.

Showtime and I feel excitement coming over me- the first look hits the runway and without a disappointment in the air they’ve pulled off another incredible season! I love the fabric choices and the details are what always makes the Azrias’ work just stand alone. I cannot wait for you to take a look at what we are having the pleasure of receiving:
