1930s Glamour

How to wear the metallic fashion trend; night out outfits 2014Photos: Kate Moss & Nicole Richie; Courtesy of Xposure Photos, US Vogue.

At first glance, it may seem like the two stars are stepping out from a 30s movie, especially with the bias cut maxi gown Kate Moss wore which she designed for Topshop since their last collaboration four years ago. Besides Topshop’s website and stores, Nordstrom and Net-A-Porter also carry Kate Moss’ collection. Some pieces have already sold out, get your hands on before they’re gone!

Back to the stunning bias-cut dress on the supermodel, this special and widely loved cut is first created by Madeleine Vionnet, populared by prominent designers like Coco Chanel, Gilbert Adrian and Claire McCardell. Dresses with this cut fluidly drape over women’s body, achieving the rare balance of elegant and seductive.

A bias-cut slip dress is truly a classic piece that never goes out of style.  Above, Kate Moss paired hers with a fringe jacket and sandals for an old-hollywood glamorous look, while Nicole Richie added a modern and subversive spin with sleek pointy toe pump, prim up-do, black manicure and minimal jewelry.

In Chinese: 乍看这两个造型好像是直接从30年代的电影里走出来的,尤其是凯特·摩丝(Kate Moss)的这条斜裁的吊带长裙和奠定了好莱坞风格的著名设计师吉尔伯特·艾德里安 (Gilbert Adrian)为当时的女明星们设计的裙子极其相似。这种斜裁是由另一位从不画草图、直接操刀的传奇女设计师玛德琳·薇欧奈 (Madeleine Vionnet)首创,不仅艾德里安将它发扬光大,而且像可可·香奈儿、克莱尔·麦卡德尔 (Claire McCardell)等都设计过这种剪裁的晚礼服。独特的斜裁加上丝滑的面料凸显女性的柔美曲线,典雅又性感,是值得投资、不会过时的单品。

凯特·摩丝(Kate Moss)所穿的这条是她目前为平价品牌Topshop设计的系列中的一款 (她所配的流苏小衫也是其中的一件),在Topshop的官网有售,另外大的零售店像Nordstrom, and net- a porter也引入了这次的合作系列。这是她继四年前和Topshop的首度合作之后的第二次,几件抢手的款式已经脱销。在售完前快去看看吧!

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
