Vivienne Westwood: Hommage to Bradley Manning and the Eastern style

Westwood dedicated her menswear collection for summer 2014 to Bradley Manning, an American soldier, who was arrested in May 2010 in Iraq on suspicion of having passed classified material to the website WikiLeaks, with pictures of the soldier and the word "truth".

The rest of the collection was inspired by the Eastern style: Kaftan shirts, baggy pants, summer suits, geometric prints, toe sandals and flip flops.

Thomas Sabo: Charm Rose Intense or La vie en rose

It was the perfect moment when Mariama sang Èdith Piafs "La vie en rose" at Thomas Sabo's fragrance presentation in the Goßlerhaus in Hamburg's smart villa district Blankenese. Why was it perfect? Because the new perfume "Charm Rose Intense" of the jewellery designer aptivates through dark, almost black roses. Available from early September. See the pictures:

"I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one’s own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality" says Isabel Marant about her collection for H&M.
