Latest Louboutin Line

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Christian Louboutin is one of the top designers in the world at the moment when it comes to shoes & handbags….a woman’s weakness!

Adored by celebrities like Blake Lively, Rihanna, Beyonce & Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few, it is no wonder Louboutin is soon becoming king of the shoe world!

The trademark red soled shoe has really taken the fashion world by storm. It’s these little touches that set Louboutin apart from the rest & give his collections their distinctive look.

The pre-spring collection shows some glitz & glamour with some daring pieces that the LA Team just adore!

Will you be adding a pair of these to your Christmas list this year?

Fashion in the City!

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

It’s exciting times for fashion lovers in Dublin. For anyone considering a career in the fashion industry it would have been assumed that you would have to travel abroad to study. Thanks to the wonderful people at Re-dress & of course the LA Team, this is no longer the case!

Dublin has an up & coming fashion scene & the LA Team are here to shine a little light on the subject & keep all you fashionistas informed whether its about new trends, up & coming designers or even fashion courses.

Re-dress was founded in 2008 with the mission to increase awareness in Ireland around ethical & environmentally sound purchasing. Founded by Rosie O’Reilly, Kellie Dalton & Kate Nolan, the aim was to promote the recycling of clothes & other textiles.

They offer a range of short courses & workshops including fashion skills, upcycling & embellishing to name a few!

Re-dress held a fashion breakfast yesterday in The Bailey Bar just off Grafton Street to launch the latest “Made in Ireland” Swing Tag to acknowledge fashion, jewelry & accessories produced in Ireland.

The swing tag will carry to ‘Made in Ireland’ logo allowing designers & retailers to promote fashion items that are produced in Ireland & will be visible in shops from the end of November.

Here at LA Studios, we think it’s about time someone gave Irish designers the recognition they deserve.

The LA Team are really looking forward to the New Year when we will be introducing our own fashion styling course! This course is FETAC accredited & will cover topics such as the history of fashion, training to be an image consultant, personal stylist, editorial stylist, visual merchandiser  & more.

Feminine Masculinity

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

We have seen a lot of masculinity coming into women’s fashion  recently. Whether it be clothes or make-up, the androgynous look is certainly prevailing.

The hot make-up trend this season is bare-faced with strong brows and when it comes to clothing fashions, we have seen a huge rise in women wearing two-piece suits going for that more masculine look.

But what about those women who like the suited look but still want to keep it feminine?

Take a leaf out of Blake Lively’s book & you can definitely achieve this cross-over. Blake wears her suit very fitted with a plunging neckline showing off her feminine curves.

Going for a vibrant colour is also a great way of rocking this look. Blake Lively & Halle Berry are leading the troops in this department without a doubt!

Of course if you want to keep with a more classic colour the best way to keep it feminine is to go with white.

Elle McPherson keeps her look simple & classy and yet still manages this look without stepping into the masculinity that is synonymous with a two-piece suit.

Have you tried this trend? Do you prefer the androgynous look?

Rihanna -vs- Paris

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

There is nothing more soul-destroying than spending hours searching for the perfect dress only to walk in to the party & see that there is another girl wearing the same one! Even worse if that ‘other girl’ happens to be Paris Hilton or Rihanna!

This stunning Alexander Wang creation was spotted on both ladies within the space of a week, and we here at LA can certainly see why they both chose this corseted dress.

With such striking differences in their looks this edition of who wore it best is certainly a tough decision.

Rihanna with her bronzed glow & edgy sense of fashion can pull of so many looks. Her style is usually very contemporary & often daring but always stunning.

Paris tends to go with something very feminine & colourful. Just like Rihanna, she rarely has a fashion miss.

They have both accesorised their look very differently showing off their own sense of style but which do you prefer?

Let us know!

Love The LA Team x
