The fashion industry bid goodbye to some prominent figures in 2017.

In November, the Tunisian-born fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa, known for his celebration of the female form through sculpted clothes that clung to the body, died at the age of 82.

As a young man, he moved to Paris and worked for the likes of Christian Dior, Guy Laroche and Thierry Mugler before setting up his own atelier with the help of rich patrons. In an industry that followed a strict seasonal calendar, Alaïa would prove to be a dissident: He showed his collections only when he felt ready.

In September, Pierre Bergé, the cofounder of Yves Saint Laurent fashion house, died at 86. Saint Laurent’s longtime romantic and business partner is credited for having been instrumental in convincing the designer to do ready-to-wear in 1966, which proved to be both a commercial and critical success. Even after Saint Laurent’s death in 2008, Bergé continued to be a moving force in fashion as well as arts and culture projects, and a powerful advocate of gay rights and AIDS research.

At age 89, Samuel Irving “Si” Newhouse Jr., longtime chair of Condé Nast and known arts patron, died in October. Under the company founded by his father, he hired British editor Tina Brown to resurrect Vanity Fair, and acquired the New Yorker in 1985 (also later helmed by Brown). In 1988, Anna Wintour was brought in to American Vogue from its British counterpart, also under Si’s watch.

Also in October, Hervé L. Leroux, the man behind the once wildly popular Hervé Léger bandage dress, died at age 60 of an aneurysm. In 1998, his brand was acquired by the American company BCBG Max Azria, to whom he would lose the Hervé Léger name after a falling out. He rechristened himself Hervé L. Leroux on the suggestion of his friend, Karl Lagerfeld. Later, Leroux briefly headed the Guy Laroche design team.

Closer to home, the biggest fashion and beauty news in the past year included:

The sold-out first makeup collections of local stars Anne Curtis and Vice Ganda. Curtis’ BLK Cosmetics and Ganda’s Vice Cosmetics were inspired by the massive success of international stars like Rihanna, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, who each have their own beauty brands.

The respective star-studded and stylish weddings of Anne Curtis and Dr. Vicki Belo also made headlines this year. The actress-TV host wore dresses by Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang (with chunky boots) to her Queensland, New Zealand spring wedding to businessman Erwan Heussaff. The celebrity doctor, meanwhile, also wore several couture dresses (by Michael Cinco and Lhuillier) to her grand Paris wedding to Dr. Hayden Kho Jr. The reception was held at Paris’ Palais Garnier.

Another big Philippine event was the visit of Singaporean-American writer Kevin Kwan, whose third book in the “Crazy Rich Asians” series features characters based on his Filipino friends, and a pivotal scene set in Palawan. In the soon-to-be-released film adaptation, Fil-Am comedian Nico Santos plays a major character. Kris Aquino also has a cameo role.

In January, Filipino fashion designers showed their mettle as they dressed contestants in the noncompetition events of Miss Universe 2016, which was held in Manila.

Fashion entrepreneur Mark “Jappy” Gonzalez, who brought brands like Comme des Garçons, Balenciaga and Lanvin to the Philippines, made it to the prominent Business of Fashion 500 (BOF 500) list. The H&F Retail Concepts founder joined other global movers and shakers of the fashion industry, composed of executives, retailers, fashion media, celebrities and influencers.

Two major retailers marked respective milestones this year. The Tantoco-owned Rustan’s, the purveyor of luxury retail, marked its 65th anniversary, while the Ben Chan-led Bench celebrated its 30th year. Josie Natori also marked the 40th year of her brand.

There were several big fashion events in Manila in 2017, one of which was the Red Charity Gala featuring avant-garde designer Joey Samson. Accessories designer Wynn Wynn Ong also presented a retrospective exhibit at the Yuchengco Museum on her 15th anniversary.

Meanwhile, at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’ Costume Institute in New York, the big-ticket event was the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” exhibit.

Edward Enninful released his first edition for British Vogue as its editor in chief, with model Adwoa Aboah on the cover. The Ghanaian-born stylist succeeded longtime editor Alexandra Schulman, who resigned in January, and is the magazine’s first male editor.

On the 20th death anniversary of Gianni Versace, his sister Donatella reunited ’90s supermodels Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, Helena Christensen and Claudia Schiffer, in very-Versace gold lamé, for the Versace Spring 2018 show in Milan. Gianni Versace is widely credited for his role in creating the ’90s supermodels. In 1991, Campbell, Crawford, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista strutted arm in arm on the Versace runway while lip-synching the ’90s George Michael anthem, “Freedom.”

Michael Cinco, the Samar-born Dubai-based designer, was on a roll this year. The wedding dress he made for a Swarovski heiress, reportedly worth $1 million, made headlines around the globe. Victoria Swarovski’s dress took five months to make and consisted of a ball skirt with a stretch tulle nude bodice encrusted with thousands of Swarovski crystals. The designer said the bride and her sisters brought him three suitcases of crystals for the dress.

His was a private visit, but shoe maestro Christian Louboutin’s Philippine sojourn was still the talk of fashionable Manila. At the Philippine Tatler ball, he was seen dancing with actress Heart Evangelista, and also graced a couple of private dinners hosted by longtime friend Maritess Tantoco-Enriquez.

2017 fashion icons

The Trump women, Melania and Ivanka. The world was agog about everything the two women wore, like the world always does when there’s a new woman in the White House. The American First Lady was ruthlessly compared to her predecessor, fashion plate Michelle Obama, and was pilloried for wearing towering stilettos to visit the victims of Hurricane “Harvey” in Texas. Overall, however, the former model wowed wherever she went.

Move over, Kate. Kensington Palace has another fashion icon in Meghan Markle, the fiancée of Prince Harry. In her first official appearance as a soon-to-be royal, the “Suits” actress hit all the right notes with two unknown brands, one Canadian and one Italian (both pieces reportedly sold out online), according to fashion critics. On her first official engagement a few days later, she wore a critically approved beige skirt from British brand Joseph, and a purse from Edinburgh-based Strathberry. Her coat was by Mackage, a Canadian brand. The American future duchess lived for many years in Toronto, where her hit show was filmed.Read more at:wedding dresses melbourne | wedding dresses online

Apparently, she is one of the esteemed Reggae and Dancehall songwriter and singer not only in Jamaica but worldwide. Her popular albums include; No Ordinary Love, Sacrifice, Obsessed, Baby Love, Without You, Forever More, Color Blind and Flash Back to Dancehall among many others. Aliane has also worked alongside other artists including Kenyan Wyre the Love Child and Willy Msafi.

Alaine and Willy Paul

I doubt there is no one who does not know who is Willy Paul. He is a talented young and promising talent who has been circle in controversies and drama from his religious practice to relationship with women. Nonetheless, the Fanya singer is still doing just fine in the gospel industry and popularity raising.

Alaine and Willy Paul Msafi recently caused a stir online when wedding photos of the two surfaced online. They both confirmed that indeed they had gotten married and were happy about it. Alaine confirmed that she had finally found Wafula – Lover and has always wanted to settle in Kenya and this was the chance. Willy Msafi nods and says, “You heard her”.

Willy Paul Wife Age

They fans expressed their mixed reservation some send congratulatory messages while some questioned the union. They dug deep and discovered Willy Paul age was 24 while for the Bride, should I say how old is Alaine, 38.

However, days after the release of their Project, ‘I Do’, and Willy Paul revealed that no wedding had taken place and that the photos shared online where from the video shooting of the I Do song.

Clearly, they deliberately caused the public excitement so that when the song is finally dropped it similarly is received with excitement. Quick assumptions we made right?

Alaine Love Life

This Jamaican ace keeps a low profile especially in matters concerning family and love. Little is known about her love life although we know that the lady is not yet married even at 38 and neither is she with a child.

There has been alleged news of her getting married in Kenya; to who may be Willy Paul or is it Larry Madowo. These are just allegations, she loves the country and the love her fans give her whenever she is around.Read more at:cheap wedding dresses melbourne | wedding dress

  

Pope, along with her business partner Bonnie Sinclair, recently opened The Bridesmaid Studio in Prahran in the hope of offering an antidote to traditional bridesmaid shopping and off-the-rack wedding attire.

The new bridesmaid business allows brides and their maids to choose from a selection of gowns from international designers including Monique Lhuillier and Jenny Yoo, and have them made-to-order in the colour, size and silhouette of their choosing.

Pope, now based in LA, is responsible for dressing an A-list clientele for red carpet events, and said her position in the industry has allowed her to address a gap in the Australian fashion market that she is passionate about.

“Before becoming a stylist I worked in retail, and bridesmaid shopping could be so fraught,” she said.

“People would be looking for numerous sizes and if one store didn’t have them all, they would have to put dresses on hold and traipse all over the city until they had a dress to fit everyone.”

“Our showroom makes it easy and convenient for brides to accommodate their entire wedding party because being made to order, we are able to offer clients a huge range of sizes, silhouettes, colours and fabrics, and because we are working with large international brands, we are able to offer prices that are affordable and accessible while maintaining high quality and integrity.”

Prices range from $350 to $550 while Sizes start at a US 00, the equivalent of a size 2 in Australia and go up to a US 28, which is the equivalent of a size 32 in Australia, as well as maternity styles.

While the showroom only stock dresses currently, Pope said clients receive the full celebrity experience.

“There’s a lot of communication back and forth between me and the designers and we are so involved in these people’s lives; we exchange texts and photos, I recommend shoes and accessories or cover-ups. We are providing a very tailored, intimate experience,” she said.

Dresses can be ordered within 6-12 weeks prior to the weeding, with a “rush fee” option available for last-minute brides.Read more at:One Shoulder Bridesmaid Dresses | Beach Bridesmaid Dresses

  

Every woman wants to look her best on her wedding day. Of course, nothing beats having a glowy, healthy-looking complexion on your big day. In order to achieve that, it’s important you start prepping your skin early to avoid any disappointments.

6 Tips to jump-start your wedding beauty routine:

Staying hydrated: It’s a surprisingly easy celebrity secret: drinking lots of water, particularly before a major event, to keep their skin dewy, radiant and in tip-top condition. It makes a perfect canvas for makeup application too.

Facials: To keep your skin in check and acne free, get a few facial treatments at least one month before the big day. Getting facials too close or right before the day is a surefire way to get blotchy and cakey.

Multi-Masking: Face masks are the easiest way to give your skin a quick TLC. With the multi-masking technique, you can boost moisture, brighten your dull areas and improve your skin’s texture in all the right places.

Teeth Whitening: Keep your smile brilliantly white by going to a dental cleaning service a week before. For a more inexpensive option, you can opt for Crest 3D white strips or teeth whitening kits.

Eyelash Extensions: Eyelash extensions or false lashes are great way to enhance your pretty peepers.

Hire Professionals: If you don’t have enough time to spare, hire a hair stylist and makeup artist at the same time. Doing both your hair and makeup would save you time on your wedding day!
