As soon as the last model hit the runway at Marc Jacobs's fall 2018 New York Fashion Week show, editors and fashion insiders flocked to London for the next wave of looks that'll capture your attention.
But first, who's sitting in the front row? Mulberry kicked off London Fashion Week on Friday in a posh way with celebrities like Emma Roberts and Jourdan Dunn playing witness to designer Johnny Coca's latest collection, which came with a full-on live performance by British singer Alison Goldfrapp. So what else can we expect to go down in the days ahead? Design houses we for sure know will draw out an A-list crowd include J.W. Anderson, Burberry, Simone Rocha, Mary Katrantzou, and Erdem.
There’s a noticeable change in Mark Bumgarner’s offerings as the designer strayed from showcasing the full regalia of his signature ball gowns at the #MEGAFashionWeekSS18. That is not to say that the magnificence the designer is known for is absent—he merely translated the grandeur of red carpet-ready gowns into wearable pieces: separates of asymmetrical tops and jacquard cigarette pants were shown while shoulder-baring dresses were balanced with billowing sleeves and exaggerated silhouettes. Brocade ruffled coats and crystal-encrusted gowns in various pastel hues and jewel tones channeled Mark’s signature eleganza.
When asked about his design process for this particular collection, Mark shares that it was actually a trip to Europe, wherein he stopped at London and Italy to source new fabrics, that started everything. He was enamored by the different lavish textiles. In fact, he even had it all shipped to his home so that he could start production. Mark hopes that his newfound international market would love the collection as much as they did with his couture creations as he will be releasing them on international shopping website, Moda Operandi.

fashion insiders share what they really buy on repeat Did you know that if you type the magic word ‘trend’ into the search bar on the H&M website, your browser adjusts to reveal an edit of only the brand’s newest, most-wanted pieces? Or what about the fact that Net-A-Porter’s new deliveries drop on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - so if you shop then, the boots you’ve been wish-listing for months might actually be available in your size for a change. These are the tricks of the trade you only learn when you shop a hell of a lot. For a living, even. So who better to ask for tips on where to buy the very best wardrobe staples than fashion insiders themselves? We’re talking about the buyers, editors and PR gurus who have put in the groundwork and eliminated the fluff to find classics that work harder and feel better than anything else out there.
Here are their gems...

Following an introduction from Vogue Arabia, Fashion Forward invited award-winning Canadian designer Sid Neigum to showcase his Spring 2018 collection at Fashion Forward‘s tenth season at d3, Dubai. Canada may not be internationally renowned as a fashion hub, but it’s been churning out talent that has found success overseas—BOF‘s Imran Amed, Tank‘s Caroline Issa, editor Joe Zee, and photographer (and singer) Bryan Adams to name a few. And with homegrown designers like Beaufille and Sid Neigum making waves, the Great North’s talent is taking a large leap across the proverbial pond to showcase in the desert.
In a few short years, the Sid Neigum label—architectural, experimental, and androgynous—has been building steam and quickly. (It’s now sold on Net-a-Porter and Farfetch.) Backstage, Neigum spoke of math as his starting point, specifically the golden ratio. Frequently found in nature, when used in design, this mathematical proportion creates an eye-pleasing effect.
Opening looks featured navy, blush, and gray viscose separates in loose, flowing fabric. The focus here was on line and proportion with a few surprises in the form of knots and hardware accents: a small chain featured on the hip of a minimalist skirt and a metal ring cinching trousers and the fabric on a black sweater. For women who have shied away from body piercings, on clothes, Neigum shifts the look from grunge to elevated, avant-garde.
The motion climaxed with the reveal of ethereal silk blouses and dresses shaped to ensconce the body like a delicate cocoon. No doubt, Dame Zaha Hadid would have loved it.
Sid Neigum is sold on Netaporter.com, Farfetch.com, and at Boutique 1 in the Middle East.
Thought fashion month was done and dusted? Not quite so, as this week the fashion crowd have descended onto the streets of Moscow to catch the latest collections from Russia's finest design talents. See the best street-style moments from Russia Fashion Week below.

This season had no shortage of must-have bags. From baskets to clutches, here are our favorite picks from the New York Fashion Week Spring 2018 runways.
After Spring/Summer’s Nineties style tsunami, a wind of fresh innovation blew through the ranks of jewelry designers for Fall/Winter 2016-2017, with cuffs and bracelets over sleeves, strings of pearls, single earrings, layering and safety pins all hitting the runway. Our new jewelry obsessions from New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.
The pearl has been emerging from the cocoon of its rather staid and traditional image for the past few seasons, revisited as ear cuffs and graphic chokers by a new generation of inspired young jewelry designers. But this winter sees a return to its Parisian roots, albeit with a vintage twist, as if it’s been borrowed and paired with denim patches, military jackets and the sports sweaters that are so very now.
.Long, graphic, hoops or earcuffs, the only way to wear earrings right now is on their own. The single earring was one of the biggest trends of the season, first emerging on the runways in New York and London and confirmed as a trend in Paris.

After emerging as a trend for Spring/Summer 2016, the Nineties revival has taken firm hold, producing rebel jewelry to match. With piercings at Dior and elsewhere, chokers with silver-dipped chains and layers of necklaces worn between leather jackets and hoodies, it was chrome and black as far as the eye could see.

After uncut necklaces and pendants appeared on the Spring/Summer 2016 runway, crystal mania took hold with raw stones featuring again on the catwalk for winter. Radically different stones appeared as earrings at Proenza Schouler and provided an anchoring detail to strengthen the impact of clothing at Dries Van Noten and Calvin Klein.

After ear jackets that hang under the lobe and ear cuffs on the cartilage, the earring's latest incarnation cuts right across the ear itself in a balanced and original piece with plenty of character.

I’m here to share with you the sad truth about famous American designer Marc Jacobs. There is something the media hides from you: Jacobs is a behind-the-scenes puppet master. He controls and pressures many celebrities. He is an egomaniac and wants to control everyone! He's been terrorizing and torturing me for 7 years. I first met Marc Jacobs back in 2008 in Paris. Right off the bat he took notice of my unique style and my eye for fashion. He thought that since I was a young, innocent girl, he could easily seduce me with his promises of love, marriage and a top model career in the fashion industry.
He did not let me become a model because I denied to do the humiliating things he asked me. He made a sneaky plan to steal my ideas, copy my designs and enjoy the success and the money he could earn with my talent. The more I got to know Marc the scarier and crueler person he revealed himself to be. Over the last few years, I have realized that Marc Jacobs is the manipulator of the century. He wants to control the entire media machine.
Marc Jacobs has been stealing my ideas, my style, my photos and my concepts for six years. My unique fashion designs have enticed him to reproduce my creations across the brands he has his hand in. He wants to be the most powerful person in the entertainment and fashion world by using my ideas without my permission.
He steals my designs with illegal, dirty tricks. He hacked my cell and my computer. He read all my text messages and emails without my permission for many years. After I exposed the truth via my blogspot I got more life-threatening messages.
Jacobs wants to hide me and the fact that he has been using my ideas from the fashion industry. Since he discovered that my unique style sells well, he plans to continue hiding me and stealing my ideas as long as possible. This has been going on for almost 6 years. So last year I decided to start a blog about my story to let the truth be known, with the hope that having the truth out there, he might be persuaded to finally leave me alone.
Just because he is rich and famous does not give him the right to pass off a rising designer’s style for his own and he does not have right to invade into my personal life.
I wrote a 500 page book about my story with Marc Jacobs. It is entitled Fake Fashion. In my book, I wrote candidly about my experiences with Marc. I included his perverse, dirty demands, his sick sexual fantasy, our long conversations, emails, voice mails and texts with the cruel puppeteer. Find out more about Jacobs' cruel and sneaky tricks by reading my shocking story, dirty games, dirty sex, dirty tricks, and betrayal all for the sake of power.

As soon as Marc Jacobs realized that I have talent in fashion design he started to hate me. He hates talented people, because he has no talent. He is trying to pressure me by copying all my work with other people, other models. He copied 700 of my work in the last 7 years, with designers, stylists, photographers, models.

Not only does he greatly influence fashion, but he slyly pulls the strings of many celebrities, the entertainment industry, and even the film industry. He controls and pressures many singers and actors by using his clout in exchange for their participation in his schemes.
He gets them campaign contracts and magazine covers, which equate to money and fame. In return, they take dirty pictures for him, they wear his clothes, are seen with him in public, and do what he dictates in their public lives. Marc Jacobs's sick fantasies stand out in his editorials and in the performances of today's big stars.
The stars have to dance and act the way Jacobs wants them to. For example, Jacobs is responsible for Miley Cyrus's shocking perverse new image. She was the face of Jacobs' ad campaign so he has convinced Miley to realize all of Jacobs's perverse fantasies.

Marc Jacobs and Kanye West are long-time pals. Jacobs helped Kanye to become famous. Jacobs even made Kanye to steal a 40 years old Hungarian song by the band Omega (I am from Hungary).It was huge controversy in Hungary, since the Hungarian band had no idea that Kanye sampled their song, Kanye did not ask them before for permission. They got in touch with Kanye's manager after they heard about the song. Did you know that Kim Kardashian's little sister Kendall Jenner recently started modeling? Her main supporter is Marc Jacobs, her modeling debut was at the Marc Jacobs show in February. If you want to know more details, click here
Marc Jacobs and Pharell Williams are best friends, they have officially worked together several times. Jacobs got more well-paying design contracts for Pharell ( Louis Vuitton jewellery collection designed by Pharell for example) . Jacobs gave the design ideas he stole from me to his buddy Pharrell. Pharrell copied my fabric for his collection at Adidas in 2014.
Marc Jacobs gave the idea that he stole from me to his designer friend Stella McCartney, the daughter of Paul McCartney. I wonder what he got from Stella in exchange for MY designs? ( Stella talked her father into playing a song with Marc's best pal Kanye West )
Moschino copied my hot pink leather suit. Moschino's new creative director is Jeremy Scott. Jacobs got him this job, no wonder Jacobs controls him now.
Katie Grand copied my designs for the brand Giles, where her she works with her ex-boyfriend.

Marc Jacobs and Conchita Wurst, they look quite similar. Jacobs loves to dress up like a woman with a beard on his face and long hair.
When it comes to money and power Jacobs turns into the Devil.
Here is a video with me where I ask for your help
The truth must be known by everyone! Marc Jacobs has to be exposed in public! If you support the truth please share the link to my blog on facebook, twitter or anywhere you'd like. My link is: http://styleangelique.blogspot.com/
