Wildfox Swim Resort 2013 – “Diamonds Are Forever”

Model Cintia Dicker photographed by Mark Hunter and styled by Leilani Shimoda and Kimberley Gordon for Wildfox Swim Resort 2013 – Spring 2012/2013 “Diamonds Are Forever”.

Cruise 2013 marks the second season of swimwear for Los Angeles-based women’s brand, Wildfox Couture.  Designer Kimberley Gordon says, “The new collection is inspired by a totally American girl who lives for traveling. She dreams of England and hotel rooms, she loves flowers and diamonds, and she loves decadence!  She’s a Bond Girl, a 60’s bombshell who dyes her hair all shades of colors and meets beautiful men everywhere she goes.  She wakes up at six in the morning to catch the sunrise and does laps in her giant, turquoise pool. She is always ready to pack her bags and fly to another country, stay in another hotel, she travels lightly, packs bikinis, sparkly dresses and beach cover ups. This girl always has her swimsuit in her purse or her glove compartment, she’s always ready for her next big adventure, and she’s always ready to make new friends… wherever she goes.”

Ladies Fashion Faves at 2013 MET Gala

“Billie Idol Blonde” Anne Hathaway at 2013 MET GALA

As usual, this year’s MET Gala was a fashion overload and the ladies did not fail to impress on the red carpet! This years punk inspired theme brought out daring frocks with load of spikes, pins and rocker plaid, while some kept it elegant with sleek gothic-glam.

Check out some of our favorite looks below.
“Blue Steel” Cameron Diaz in Stella McCartney
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley vintage glam

Hands down, the coolest outfit on the carpet goes to Sarah Jessica Parker! I dont even know where to begin, but I truly appreciate the fact that she dove head first into the night’s theme and took a risk with this look. She even flashed her knickers while showing off those amazing plaid boots. That’s definitely punk rock!

**RECAP VIDEO** FEAR OF GOD LA x 424 on Fairfax 2013 Summer Collection Debut


JBHtv visited the FEAR OF GOD x 424 on Fairfax in-store event, featuring the fashion brand’s 2013 Summer Collection.

May 2, 2013 - “FEAR OF GOD” IS A WAY OF LIFE, A PHILOSOPHY, THAT GOES BEYOND RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION. THE COLLECTION, BORN IN THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES CONNECTS THE MASSES THROUGH A STREET-WEAR MENTALITY. ALL OF THE FABRICS, MATERIALS AND GARMENTS ARE SOURCED AND CONSTRUCTED IN DOWNTOWN LA.”
When Kanye West first wore a kilt during his performances for the Watch the Throne tour, the Hip-Hop world was up in arms about Kanye’s new style. From the fans to fellow rappers, Kanye had everyone talking about his unique sense of style that many fans didn’t quite understand.  Last night (May 1) AllHipHop met the clothing company behind the hype, as Fear of God was on display at Four Two Four on the infamous Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, California.  For those unfamiliar with Fairfax Avenue’s fashion district, the famous street is home to a handful of stand out brands including Diamond Supply Co., Pink Dolphin, The Hundreds, Hall of Fame and many others.
If the goal was to shut down Fairfax Avenue, mission accomplished. As Hennessy V.S. filled attendees cups and the sounds of DJ Izzo (Freddie Gibbs’ DJ) could be heard from the street, Fear of God Los Angeles designer, Jerry Lorenzo, hosted a showing of his Fear of God 2013 Summer collection.  Known for being a head promoter at Greystone Manor’s infamous Sunday night, Jerry premiered his Summer 2013 Collection in the heart of Fairfax Avenue to a packed house.
To date Fear of God threads have been spotted on Kanye West, Chris Brown, Big Sean, Hit-Boy, and Matt Kemp (L.A. Dodgers.) Street wear heavy-weights are giving the new line recognition as well, as fellow Fairfax retail resident Nicky Diamond of Diamond Supply Co. stopped by the in-store event to show support. Karrueche Tran, Greystone Sundays resident DJ Orator, and Hit-Boy’s HS87 crew members K. Roosevelt and Oktane of Audio Push were also in the building.
The LA based clothing company, inspired by the late 80′s and early 90′s fashion scene, has exploded into fashion world with high-end clothing items designed to be worn daily.  The line ranges from flannel tops and pull-over hoodies to sweatshirts and drop crotch sweatpants, that many Hip-Hop fans will liken to the kilts and long tank tops Kanye and ASAP Rocky have been pictured wearing recently.
