Red carpet is not just at the cinema events, it has a direct competitor, the MET Ball, a glamorous catwalk of outfits and celebrities, and altogether. What can you expect from an event organized by Vogue? Nothing else than the most fashionable celebrities. If cinema events show all the star system in action, here you can find fashion in motion.

As it is well known, the Ball is themed every year related to what Costume Institute Exhibition is showing, so this year is time to get rebel, punk is not dead. If last year was the feminine power with two muses as Schiaparelli and Prada, this year is time to become insurgen, Punk: Chaos to Couture.

Punk Studs, burgundy lips, zippers were the must-have of the event. Although the new item to be added to the punk list is ear cuffs. A big number of celebrities wore this jewelry piece.

One of the outfits which suited best with the theme of the Ball was the one from Nichole Richie. After lots of hours tanning herself, she decided to contrast her skin with a Topshop dress and she added a touch of punk with ear cuff.

But we should admit that one of our favorite ones, and one of the most according outfits to the party theme is the Wes Gordon dress which was worn by Constance Jablonski. She did not miss the key accessory of the night either: ear cuffs.

Who we are not sure she really understood what punk is was Miley Cyrus, well I would say what Fashion is. Not because the fact of emulating the spiky hair of Sid Vicious means you are a punk girl. Even the Marc Jacobs dress she wore and the ear cuff didn’t improve what was going on up to her face.

We don’t know if it is because of her youth but another actress who don’ t understand what punk is is Elle Fanning. Fortunately her ear cuff gives her a touch of elegance. She made a combination between a Cindy Lauper make up and a hippie die-tied dress from Rodarte.

If it is a fashion party you need models to give cache to your event. The starts of the night? Cara Delevingne (in Burburry Prorsum) – she is in all things –, Karolina Kurkova who wore a Mary Katrantzou dress or the 90′ s supermodel Linda Evangelista (in Marchesa ) were wearing ear cuffs.

Actresses also appeared at the event, and most of them were wearing this jewelry item, obviously each of them in a different and own style: the original inner ear jewelry in a shape of a wing that Mad Men’s Jessica Pare chose; the always well dressed Jessica Alba gets a perfect outfit again which matches with the ear cuff or the American actress January Jones who mixed a sparkling black Chanel dress with an original make up and an ear cuff. Although Bella Heathcote dress wasn’t the ‘punkiest’, Bella Heathcote’ helped herself to get the look with an enlarged eye line and an ear cuff.

However the pioneers of ear cuffs were the actresses Siena Miller and Diane Kruger. It is not the first time they have appeared at an event with this jewelry item.

Siena wrapped by Burberry Prorsum (it seems that Cara and her went to the same shop to buy her Met outfit), she matches her multiple spikes on her outfit with her ear cuff made by Genevieve Jones. Was for this reason that they finished the night kissing each other?

The other wise choice of the night, and the Lady Marshmallow favorite one, came from Diane Kruger: pink dyed hair on the ending, Chanel dress SS13 and ear cuff, she arrived late at the event, but she hit the carpet.

Lady Marshmallow wanted to join this fashionable jewelry, so… why don’t we add this item to our new collection? We’ve got two versions… the spiky one to follow this punk trend or the native version to get your Music Festival outfit. Which one is your fav one?

If you think Charlotte Free is the rebel model with her pinkish hair and other colour brush-strokes, she has a new and much cooler competitor, Chloe Norgaard.

American born but hailing from Europe, half-Danish and half-Polish, she is one of the models of the moment. But her artistic side doesn’t stop here, she is also a dj and an artist.

The ‘Rainbow model’ as she is known, changes her hair colour as you can change the colour of your nails. But it doesn’t stop her to be one of the most demanded models nowadays.

Actually, when she started modelling she just coloured her hair on her days off. This occurred until last winter when she decided why she couldn’t dye her hair everyday if she really wanted. And what seemed a caprice started to be a sign of distinction and it really shows her personality: she doesn’t want to live a life in black and white.

That fact was confusing for the casting staff who always asked her why she had so many colours on her hair, she always answered ‘cuz I eat so much candies’.

However her passion for colours on her hair started really soon, when she was a kid she sprayed her whole hair in blue. At high school she used to dye her hair with sharpies. She always dyes her hair by herself, so she expresses what she really wants on it.

If she seems eccentric, her boyfriend is a good candidate to win the eccentricity trophy as well. He is the Danish designer –but London based- Asger Juel Larsen, The eccentricity is not only for his image but also for his gothic and androgynous creations on the catwalk, where most of time her girlfriend is the image of the collection.

Although her youth, Norgaard is 22-years old, she was on the catwalk for Rodarte AW13 the last NYFW, and for Moschino in the last LFW and the image of the trendiest fashion brands.

I guess you can’t want to finish without knowing what’s the real colour of Norgaard’s hair: she’s brunette.

Why is this trendy and young lady walking by this celebrity? Is she his new girlfriend?

Oh, really? Is she his daughter?

This could be the case of our first two IT girls…

As everybody, celebrity children also grew up, some of them follow their parents’ steps and others walk away from them to become the new IT celebrities.

Just 13 years old, Anais Gallagher, Noel’s daughter (from the British band Oasis) has been one of the focus of the camera flashes this last London Fashion Week and she had a reserved front row seat at Moschino catwalk.

Her eye-catching ‘pyjamas’ and her heart-shaped glasses have surprised the British press and the international one. She’s just started taking off. We hope she hasn’t inherited his father’s bad behaviour…

If she is just taking off, the next one is already a consolidated IT girl. She is named Zoë, but I’m sure you will recognize her by her surname: Kravitz. She has the voice and the passion for fashion from her father and the acting ability from her mother. She’s 24 and she hasn’t needed her family name to show the world she’s capable of almost everything she wants. Even getting the handsome Penn Badgley, I think he doesn’t need our introduction… XOXO

Who is one of the premature IT girls? Let’s say the one called the ‘mini IT girl’, she is Suri Cruise. Daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the 6 year(s?)-old girl is on the list of the most well-dressed 21 women in the world. Although she is not a woman yet, she wears heels, and even Jimmy Choo designed a pair for her.

She is wearing heels! OMG!

Calm down Surie! Another fashionista is coming! Aila Wang. We know… This is not fair… Who wouldn’t want Alexander Wang as an uncle? She’s already visited some of the most famous catwalks, she attended Alexander Wang’s catwalk the last edition of NYFW. She has the Wangs’ fashion sense.

Can you image the next generation front row seats? Surie Cruise talking to Aila Wang about the catwalk of her uncle… OMG!

Cutest girl ever!

We don’t have any doubt who the IT siblings are: Jaden and Willow Smith. Worldwide known they are such this kind of talented children who are able to do everything: act, sing or modelling. In all they do, they are successful. In the second position of IT siblings we find the ‘Brangelina’ crew, their boho hippie style let you think they are going to be the future hipsters experts.

Last Thursday, I went to the city to look after some summery fabrics, with a Vintage touch, to design some Lady Marshmallow swimwear. And yes, I did find some amazing 60s style textiles, so hopefully, by June I could put them on sale and do a little photo shooting. I also came across, a heavenly bag my mum has kept for ages, with old golden navy buttons, and others, that I will definitely use on my collection.

By night, I attended a fashion event with my friend Tatiana, that Urban Woman magazine (a free fashion local mag) organized on one of my favorite places in Alicante, the Concerto Club.

The place was great, with an amazing beach style display at the club front window where the models posed as maniquies. However I was very disappointed on the event it self, as all the bikinis they presented, were very boring, granny, and old fashion. Also the models were a bit dull, so, I guess I’m not in the right city to expect something cool and edgy, regarding fashion events, such as in London, where I used work and study fashion for over five years.

Even though I did tons of pictures, this is the only bikini that could please me a bit.

On my next post, I have selected some of my favorite swimwear brands and bikinis that are a must for this Summer 2010, so don’t miss them out, and let me know what’s your favorite ones.

The super-cool now a day world’s fashion muse, Alexa Chung will be designing her own clothing line for the American brand Madewell and will be simply called Alexa Chung for Madewell, following the steps of  fashion icon Kate Moss, that has her own clothing label at Topshop. 

This is becoming so “à la mode” in the fashion industry so let’s bet who’ll be the next icon to be spotted by a famous clothing brand !!! 

I cant’ wait for the launch of the collection, due by September 2010, however a bit disappointed to know that they only sell it in US, Canada and Tokyo. Anyways, good excuse to go to New York next fall.

What really grabbed my attention was the description of her clothing line, it seems like she rode my mind. “Dungaree dresses, oversized biker jackets, printed T-shirts, high-waisted pants and jeans, velvet dresses decorated with Peter Pan collars, vintage style coats, 40s tea dresses, 60s mod dresses”, ♥ it all.

 

 

 

Just for your information, I have two dresses on my Etsy shop, that are very similar to the dress in the fourth and sixth image, starting from up to down, left to right. Also, if you like Alexa Chung collection description for Madewell, you’ll have a good surprise with the first Lady Marshmallow collection, out in February.
