Fashion Week: DONNA KARAN

“Everything I do is a matter of heart, body and soul,” says Donna Karan, chief designer of the international company that bears her name. “For me, designing is an expression of who I am as a woman, with all the complications, feelings and emotions.”
Donna Karan’s S/S 2013 line for her grown-up eponymous label examined what happens far above the streets of the bustling metropolis at sunrise and sunset.

We have chosen these pieces to be our favorite:

An Excessorized Life

Accessories are everything! I often say they are more important than clothes, and they’re certainly more powerful. While I will always hold a place in my heart for accessories of every kind, for me, there is nothing more instantly transformative than jewelry.

That was what Rachel Zoe said in her website about her new jewelry collection, she said the collection is inspired by the archives if her mother, along with some of the most esteemed design houses in the world!

We have checked the jewelry collection and we have chosen some of the best pieces that we know that is suitable to a Marinde style

Trends: External Collars

We can't remember when was the first time people started wearing collars. Starting from the love novelist William Shakespeare till the neighbour's son, nothing special about this piece of fabric except it does frame your neck and make you look more presentable but to own a collar as an accessory will break the routine a bit and makes it an option. An option you won't regret to choose, in the crazy world of fashion accessories every one wants to stand out with an expensive bracelet or a very nice watch!
However wearing a metal collar, weather its in gold, silver or sequins over a your clothes is a great choice to attract attention and questions !

 You have to be picky and matchy, not only you can wear it over a blouse but you can wear it over a  t - shirt or a strapless dress.

Here are some of collar pictures we choose for you ! Enjoy

Tomboy Style

We have seen a tomboy girls a lot this year. Its not like we haven't seen them for the last 30 years, but now they are hotter, stronger and saying Im here look at me! Im a girl and I dress like a boy or we shall say found a place between a boy and a girl style. A tomboy girl is strong, confident and has thoughts of her own. She is not afraid of much and she is welling to break the rules if she doesn't like them and set a new ones!

We have seen a lot of such an example in the media these days, and we going to continue see more of this kind of style. Because its formal, comfortable and simple. Amber Rose thee modern day personification of this styling.

Also, one of the Olsens is:

Style Inspiration: Thierry Mugler

Marinde would love to asnwer a question she been asked by a young fashion designer in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. goes by the name Nasser.

Questions: Dear Marinde I couldn't find an inspiration for my new collection for fashion week and I still have one month left. I want to design something outrageous and I want to be brave and get out of the safe side for once. Help !

Love,

Nasser!

Dear Nasser,

First on the behalf of Matinde team and co-founders Maria Jane and Hind Fahionier, We would like to thank you in taking the time to check our blog "Marinde Style" and we are so glad that you liked our styling tips and topics.

Well you asked us to help find an inspiration to start making your first women collection for the Fashion week. First you have to be true to your self , know who you are and what you like to do ? Second, you have to know your audience. If your audience are sophisticated, urban sexy women.

Then we recommend Thierry Mugler style for your collection. Because his clothes are easily identifiable by their style and their structure. Suits, dresses and jacket pieces which emphasize a woman’s elegance while harmonizing and resculpting their bodies. He reinvented the notion of seduction and was subsequently labeled a “provocative designer” by the media.

Here are some pictures we hope they help you get your inspiration to create a magnificent collection for the Fashion Week.

And remember you don't want to imitate any of his collections or designs. You will want to get inspired by them to create a breath taking collection for your fashion week.

Best Wishes,

Marinde
