Starring Karmen Pedaru and Marlon Teixeira, photographer Mario Sorrenti has shot a wonderfully mysterious shoot in New York for Emporio Armani's latest womenswear campaign. With sharp angles, a strong use of contrasting textures and extensive fog, Sorrenti draws upon old notions of glamour in order to refocus our attention to what appeals to our tastes today.
Sharp, sexy and sophisticated, it shows just how strong and appealing Emporio Armani stands as a brand today. Armani womens suits, mens suits, accessories, bags and shoes are in-store at Voi now!
A few days ago, Chanel showed its Fall 2010 Haute Couture collection at Paris. You can watch the full show in the video below -
Featuring a gigantic gold lion as the fashion show's centrepiece, Lagerfeld paid tribute to Chanel's late founder, who was born a Leo. In contrast to their Spring 2010 Haute Couture collection, richer shades of red, brown and navy were used, creating an almost dignified air about the models. Everything about this collection commanded attention, from the way Chanel's garments played with proportion to the confident way that their models mastered the unconventional runway. Garments elongated the silhouettes of the models' bodies, creating the illusion of their towering over onlookers, even more-so as the runway's amphitheatre-like setup exaggerated the theatrics and audience's experience show. Details invaded garments, from adding hand-made flowers to skirts to surrounding higher necklines with richer beaded embellishment. Moreover, the transition from the more serious maroons and blacks of the collection through to even more intense golds and blues seemed to drawn upon the very valuable lapis lazuli pigments that were often used to paint the very upper echelons of society and even religious paintings themselves. As the collection drew to a close with a strikingly blue ensemble, Chanel's regal chapter of the collection ended with one final reminder of its inspiration, being the Leo-born founder.
I don’t know about you but I think Miu Miu is one of those few brands that can pull off a playful yet provocative image. As demonstrated by their latest collection, they’ve developed a reputation for beautiful clothes that at first glances could almost be labeled as being quite playfully young and innocent. However, as their collections progress, certain details such as prints, cuts and even plunging necklines prove the label as being one for the confident or perhaps those with a more daring stylistic prowess.
Headed by Miuccia Prada (yes, the designer that’s in charge of Prada), Miu Miu continues to reinforce its playful style with cute quirks and unconventional variations on classic cuts. In their FW10/11 collection they showed gorgeous dresses, some of which had plunging necklines and cutouts that often exposed their ribs, as well as more innocent pieces with chin-high collars and rosette details.
Recently we’ve also received a first look at Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2010-11 Ad Campaign, so they’ve been included for your perusal.

Right now we have some newly-arrived Miu Miu pieces in-store, and in particular, some gorgeous bags. If you’re planning on getting your freshly manicured hands on these beautiful pieces you’d better be fast, because they will sell quickly!
Ever since graduating from the prestigious Central Saint Martins with his collection “Les Incroyables” in 1984, John Galliano has made himself known for his theatrics, construction technique and extravagant creativity, as projected in his couture work. Currently, John Galliano produces seventeen collections collectively per year for both Christian Dior and a label under his own name. His own label currently carries separate lines for menswear and women’s clothing.
John Galliano, the label, was established in 1985, and now regularly shows at Paris Fashion Week. Although Galliano did show menswear on the catwalk for his 1984 graduation collection and later in 1986, Galliano’s menswear was not launched until 2003.
Characteristic to his work, Galliano often draws his inspiration from a historical/cultural figure, identity or period. For example, his Fall/Winter 2009-2010 menswear collection cited Rembrandt (also known as the Hellfire Club, where “persons of quality” who wished to take part in immoral acts supposedly met) as inspiration.
John Galliano pieces are now available at Voi, including menswear.
Fred Perry’s laurel wreath logo has gained international recognition in the fashion world for the past century, not only reflecting the authenticity of the brand, but also the history of the founder in sports himself. Frederick John Perry, the founder, is considered to be one of Britian’s most successful tennis players, having maintained a World #1 ranking for five years and winning eight grand slam singles titles.
During his career in tennis, Perry recognised the need for the handle of tennis racquets to be protected from the perspiration of tennis players, and so, developed the first sweatband. From this point onwards, the Fred Perry line of clothing was launched, eventually evolving from only offering sportswear to also including streetwear.
Although the label has changed over the years with the times, Fred Perry has maintained one original product - the slim-fit cotton pique shirt, which is still to this day, is made in England with the same cut and fabric as when it was first launched in 1952. Fred Perry menswear is also known for its sharp, slimmed-down silhouette, featuring narrow ties, flat-front trousers and smaller collars. Today his line of menswear now also includes bags, accessories and footwear for everyday occasions.
Right now at Voi Fred Perry clothing is available, including shirts and knitwear.
After completing his study at Kingston University, London in 1982, John Richmond created his first collection under his own name, which quickly emerged as a leading exponent of the British avant-garde.Today, John’s collections are organised in two lines:“John Richmond”, and the diffusion line “RICHMOND”, which contains a prêt a porter (ready to wear) and denim range.
The pieces under the John Richmond label are a celebration of the energy, creativity and unpredictability of youth and street culture, with each line being heavily influenced by musical movements.John has also blended this with his own personal style of “street chic”, which focuses on luxurious precision.As a result of these fundamental philosophies, iconic slogans such as “Destroy, Disorientate. Disorder”, “Diamond Dog” and “Eat Cake” emerged.John’s close ties with the music industry have also allowed him to dress stars such as Madonna, Mick Jagger and Annie Lennox.
The expansion of product categories for John’s lines are continuously expanding.In addition to current eyewear, underwear and beachwear, the junior line and the footwear, there are also plans to launch a John Richmond fragrance along with a collection of jewellery and watches.Other expansion plans include introducing a hundred RICHMOND stores by 2011, dedicated to men’s and women’s X and Denim lines, showing the younger diffusion ranges to the global market.

The first shop was inaugurated in Rome in 1994, and three years later L'Altra Moda organized a big party for the Milan's flagship store opening. The brand started its international distribution penetrating the European market: Spain, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland. In 2001, L'Altra Moda continues its expansion in Orient with the opening of a shop in Tokyo in partnership with Sanki Shogi Co. Ltd. The label L'Altra Moda becomes LALTRAMODA in 2002.
