Will Young Style

Filed under: Autumn/Winter 09, Celebrity Style, Media, Music & Style — Tags: , , , , , — Michelle @ 12:51 am

WILL YOUNG, Guest Editor is looking as lovely as ever on this month’s cover of ‘Attitude’.

His Pop Idol style was heavily noticed by me, the beginning of the decade……His new CD ‘THE HITS’ is out on 16th November.

Today I share with you his favourite winter trends.

Guys - whatever he wears, he wears it well. Nothing too heavy - a flash of colour here and there.

Seasonal Greys look charming with a turquoise, tan, gold, purple.

My Favourites are:
Footwear
Kurt Geiger shoes, boots by Unconditional for Aldo, Grenson boots and Brogues by Alexander McQueen
Topman Herringbone coat,
Dr Denim jeans at Urban Outfitters and
Mohair Jumper by Topman Design

From people who have spent a day or two with him all say what such a genuine, cheeky guy and sooooo good looking - charismatic.

I was interested in reading a few ATTITUDE articles with the people that Will spoke to, shared stories with to celebrate their 2000-2009 time.

Victoria Beckham - I agree with her that fashion is art, detailing should be noticed and not taken for granted.

Matthew Williamson - I agree ‘Celebrity’ has been the buzzword of the decade but Matthew assured Sienna Miller is a very good mate, not wearing his clothes as a favour but that she wears them because they make her look fab. A slave to fashion?

Cheryl Cole (Cheryl Tweedy) - As I knew myself Will had a wonderful time travelling to Morocco with X-Factor assisting Cheryl whittling down her group.
Her clothes fascinate me - TV extreme and I love it.

Scott Mills - Will spoke to Scott Mills and he explained he is still very appreciative whatever happens and had a different outlook then to what it’s like now for the singers on X-Factor. Whilst in Morocco Will noticed their sheer obsession was becoming famous more than actually singing their talent, their passion.
To me, it’s getting a balance right in whatever you do - don’t go over the top!

mmm - SMART, TREND, YOUNG, LOOK, EFFORTLESS

mmm - SMART, TREND, YOUNG, LOOK, EFFORTLESS

S…T…Y…L…E

Thanks Will.

Harry Potter Half-Blood Prince Premier Red Carpet Style

I was so thrilled to see the beautifully young fashionista Emma Watson wearing a long VINTAGE DRESS by 1970s’ English designer Ossie Clark including her white ribbon in memory of fellow actor 18 year old Robert Knox at last night’s premier in a rather wet Leicester Square.

In my opinion the dress was absolutely perfectly fitting for her.

The movie opens around the world July 15.

CULTURE CHANGING IN THE WORLD OF FASHION

I have been interested for a while as to what the rest of the world are doing to help the less fortunate and at the same time enjoying fine vintage fashion pieces.

AUSTRALIA

KYLIE April 09 in Melbourne was spotted browsing around in a local charity shop, then shoppers looked on stunned.
She splashed out, during this current economic crisis $40 on 2 summery dresses, skirt and a trendy little peaked hat at a SALVATION ARMY STORE. This actually wasn’t her first time, years before she was spotted at ‘SHAG’ Melbourne vintage clothing store.

USA

MILEY CYRUS was recently spotted browsing sale racks at KITSON BOUTIQUE where she purchased $14 ‘T’ shirt and $56 jeans.

RUSSIA

Russia is booming at the moment and buying vintage is a growing trend.
DASHA ZHUKOVA an enormously wealthy individual in her own right is the girlfriend of ROMAN ABRAMOVICH. She is a major influence in the fashion world with her own label KOVA & T, available in over 70 stores around the world. Russians belive they are the greatest luxury consumers on the planet, they have power and influence but becoming less brash and more cool so a blend of vintage in their fashion world will be great to see for the less fortunate.

This lead me to finding a piece written by Anna Ershova, a Russian Ukranian studying Ethics, Politics and Economics at Yale University who has looked at getting other Russian women getting a chance to enjoy something the more affluent women in Moscow and St. Petersburg only get to wear.

A Plethora of 2nd hand shops have started to thrive in Russia. Found generally in a basement of an apartment block. For lesser affluent Russians in the provincial cities, there is a shortage of decent clothing stores so this is a new beginning in finding high quality clothing they would only ever be able to purchase in Moscow - it’s a treasure trove - a dream coming true in other Soviet women being able to start their businesses and looking well dressed.

Its important for us worldwide to make an impact.

I love the idea that the hat is reversible and depending on what you are wearing, y ou could show the small detailed green Pretty Green Logo.

What do you think? Who is buying? Who will we see wearing it?
