Oscar's Fashion 2017

Janelle Monáe Makes Stunning Red-Carpet Debut at Oscars

Dakota Johnson, 2017 Oscars, Academy Awards, Arrivals

    Last night celebrated the 89th Oscar's . Most of the celebrities took a risk to wearing a gown dress or tuxedo at this event. One of my favorite dress gown is worn by Dakota Johnson in  Gucci's couture. I like this style because its victorian style the sleeves, the gold color, and bow has on front of the dress. This  dress  is inspiring sophistication, when she walked. Three trends that are like are modern brides, gold, and silvers colors. A celebrity who wore a modern bride is Naomi Harris in Calvin Klein, The other trend was a gold color is Charlize Teron in Dior couture, and silver gown is worn Teresa Palmer in Prada. It is important to designers to dress up at celebrities because the name of brand is mentioned on the red carpet by reporters and after this event a  critics of fashion talk about of name of the brand. Also get more prestigious  a brand and a designer. Lastly, I think the costume couture is worn by Janelle Monae in Elie Saab couture this gown represent a lot hours working because has so many details.

The Grammy Awards 2017

Adele wins five Grammy's

           Last night was the biggest event of the 59th Grammy's Awards. I was surprised when Beyonce start singing at the scenario with spectacular images by projector. My favorite look is worn by Jane Zhang , and I like it because I like the ivory color with long sleeves and I also like the feathers all over the top. I think the worst dress was Cee Lo Green and Girl Crush because those styles look like customs. Some of the garments from grammy's are similar from the Oscar's and its because  the last Oscar fashion I saw an embellishment, embroired floral, and tripes. In this grammy fashion I saw that repeating. Celebrities are willing to the risk it because they like to attract peoples attention. In addition,  this magnificent event makes all the people talk about how Adele won five Grammy's.

Menswear- Autumn 2017 by Raf  Simons

           I learned about Raf Simons and how made substantial garments. His show took place in New York city, this collection is inspired to  invite sealing with black duct tape , with words such as "Walk with Me"_"Any way Out This"or  I ♡ You” these words were also printed on the t-shirts, belts, sweaters. He's encourage people to speak up, he said"when you have a voice, you should use it". In this fashion show we see   how Raf self confidence sent a message of political context. He said behave  fearlessly specially when being introduced in the men's fashion industry. I like his style because its wearable,  definitely the coats, blazers are an elegant, sophisticate,  I visualize these garments to wearing youth  mens. Raf Simons was a part of collaboration of Cristian Dior  house in France. He ended it after three and a half years to working for this french house. His last collection it was for spring -summer 2016.
