Even models fall

As a fashion model, you’ll be expected to strut down runways while wearing killer heels. In New York Fashion Week. which ran from 7^th to 14^th September, we learned that even the most professional of models have trouble with heels. While appearing at the Michael Kors show, the gorgeous Bella Hadid, who was rocking a sparkling ruffled black dress, tripped over her sky-high heels. But like any professional, glamorous Bella got right back up again!

Season’s hottest colour

We discovered that yellow is destined to be the season’s hottest colour. Every shade of yellow, from zingy-lemon to mustard, appeared on the New York Spring/Summer 2017 runways. Alexander Wang caused a real stir by opting for highlighter pen neon yellow while Thakoon raised cheers with a more muted mustard tone, which looked really fresh when paired with statement gold earrings.

New clothing trends

New York’s catwalks were littered with hot clothing trends. With the latest September fashion covers, we saw that cut-outs are set to be huge and this trend also appeared at Fashion Week. Other clothing trends revealed included deconstructed shirts, which wowed Carolina Herrara’s audience, ruffles and slip-one shoes. Tibi’s black slip-on shoes, which had cigarette lighter-sized heels, were amazing!

Cool beauty fads

We saw a ton of new beauty fads which are destined to become trendy in Spring/Summer 2017. Grazia writes that surfer-girl beach hair was a real hit at Alexander Wang’s show, while designers such as Jason Wu confirmed that bright matte lips will be hot next season. Other emerging beauty trends included pastel-wash eyeshadow, neon-orange nails and snapchat filter-inspired beauty accessories.

Kanye’s public humiliation

Here at LUXE Models, we had a few doubts when we found that rapper (and professional egoist) Kanye West was going to debut his ‘Yeezy Season 4’ line in New York. The concert/performance piece of a show was a hot mess, with some models even passing out, making headlines around the world. Adding salt to the wound, celebrated fashion consultant Tim Gunn later labelled the collection “a hoax.”

See you in London

And with that, we wave goodbye to another New York Fashion Week and we’ll see you in London. With a number of respected designers and brands, including Top Shop, Christopher Kane to Burberry set to unveil their new collections at London Fashion Week Spring/Sumer 2017, it’s sure to be epic! 

Kanye West’s Top Four Stupidest Moves

Yet again, idiotic pop star Kanye West did something stupid last week, but what are the four most stupid things he’s ever done? Luxe Models investigates!

Sometimes it’s Hard to Love Kanye

What is it about celebrities, which make them think that they can get away with doing stuff the rest of us would never dream of? It seems like every week, you open up your favourite gossip rag and find a new celebrity incident of a famous person well and truly stepping in it.

Kanye West is a particular offender. Admittedly, we do love us some Kanye here at Luxe Models. He really is a talented pop star, and he has a wicked fashion sense. However, sometimes it’s really hard to appreciate his awesome threads when he’s just so annoyingly arrogant!

In Luxe Models Opinion, These Are the Four Stupidest Kanye Moves Ever!

So admittedly, Kanye has done some pretty stupid things, but of course, some were monumentally more stupid than others. Since Luxe Models knows your dying to know, we thought we’d list the four most controversial thing he’s ever done!

1)      ‘That’ VMA’s Incident: The winner has to be ‘that’ VMA’s incident, where Mr West interrupted Taylor Swift in the middle of an acceptance speech, to say Beyoncé should have won the prize instead. Who even does that? We can only assume he’d had a few many at the bar that night.

2)      It Should Have Been Me: Why is it always awards ceremonies? Back in 2006, Kanye failed to win the Best Video gong at the MTV Europe Music Awards for ‘Touch the Sky.’ He then proceeded to go on stage, and say why he should have won. No one likes a sore loser Kanye!

3)      Starting a Fight with Annie Leibovitz: Kanye and Kim originally secured celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz to take snaps at their wedding. Supposedly. She bailed. We get that you’re angry Kanye, but it’s never a good idea to do what you did next. What did he do, he ranted about it. That prompted Leibovitz to respond and say she was never confirmed, and once again, it made the self-professed king of music look like a total plonker.

4)      I’m Smarter than Britney Spears: Just last week, Kanye did one of the stupidest things of his career by comparing his intelligence to Britney Spears. According to Digital Spy he said "I'm the smartest celebrity you've ever f**king dealt with," and that "I'm not Britney Spears.” Seriously Kanye, did you think this would win you any points?

Oh, Kanye, Kanye, Kanye. What are you like eh? One thing we can say though. When Kanye does something this stupid, it is hard to love his killer sense of fashion but it does provide great reading material though!
