Marina Diamandis (Marina and the Diamonds)

When asked to describe her style, Marina answered: “Saccharine mixed with something darker.”

From the doll lashes of her first album, Family Jewels, to the girly girl of Electra Heart, Marina is an artist who’s extraordinarily conscious of what she’s expressing. Beneath the sugary pastel ribbons,  fingernail polish, and girly hearts, there lurks a compelling elusiveness. 
 
Unlike Lady Gaga, whose outfits are only for stage, Marina’s extravagant outfits are quite approachable and ease to replicate.
 
The key here is accessories; glasses, bags, lipsticks, belts, bulky jewels…

Here are some of her best moments.

Items:  Southern Blossom Skirt In Charcoal,  CARVEN WOMEN'S KNIT JUMPER WITH,  SHIRT COLLAR - BLACK,  Fit for a Fashionista Heel in Taupe,  ASOS Wide Waist Belt With Buckle,  SMALL TOTE BAG,  Spitfire Styrene Cat-Eye Shades

In this outfit, Marina gives a little wink to the darker side; grays and blacks look great on everyone and with a little bit of pastel you can make this seemingly dull outfit a bit more girly.

Items:  Oasis Stripe Knitted Cape,  Super Skinny High Jegging,  Black Cross Strap Wedges,  ASOS Metallic Faux Stingray Cross Body Bag,  Aria Cat-Eye Shades,  Maybelline New York Color Sensational Vivid Lipstick - 912 Electric Orange,  LOREAL 5mL NAIL POLISH 809 MYSTIC BLUE COLOR RICHE

Accessories are the key in this outfit. Simple jeans and a t-shirt can be jazzed up with a blanket scarf instead of a regular jacket. A sparkly bag is an excellent addition to the look.

Items:  JEAN LOUIS SCHERRER VINTAGE fitted jacket,  SUPERFIT JEAN,  SWING COAT,  Sheela-11 Booties In Navy Blue,  THE ROW  Round Circle Sunglasses, Blue

The importance of a statement piece in every wardrobe! Royal blue is an unexpected colour for a jacket, but one that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion… and don’t forget your signature sunglasses as well! ;)

#IrisvanHerpen

Following my last article about 3D Printing, I couldn’t miss an opportunity to write about one of the brightest and most talented designers out there; Iris van Herpen.

One of the first designers to use 3D Printers in collaboration with graphic designers and architects, van Herpen presented her printed work at Paris Fashion Week in January 2013, scooping the prestigious Golden Eye prize at the Dutch Design Awards 2013.

For her collection, Voltage, she collaborated with MIT architect and designer Neri Oxman and 3D Printing Company Stratasys to create a textured cape and skirt. An intricate dress made by selective laser sintering was designed with Austrian architect Julia Koerner and printed by Belgian Company Materialise.

Van Herpen said; “I feel it’s important that fashion can be about much more than consumerism, but also about new beginnings and self-expression, so my work very much comes from abstract ideas and using new techniques, not the re-invention of old ideas. I find the process of 3D printing fascinating because I believe it will only be a matter of time before we see the clothing we wear today produced with this technology, and it’s because it’s such a different way of manufacturing, adding layer-by-layer, it will be a great source of inspiration for new ideas.”

Van Herpen has recently presented her Spring/Summer 2015 collection, a ready-to-wear collection inspired by the magnetic forces of nature, with volumes and origami-like laser cut plastic details, prominent in the overall design. A metal-fusion shoes complimented the whole vibe of the wardrobe ensemble, clearly visualizing "Magnetic Motion" as the title of the collection presented for Paris Fashion Week at the rooftops of Beaubourg.

Black dress:

First dress ever to feature Thermoplastic polyurethane (mostly found in mobile phone cases), the black cocktail dress was developed by Iris van Herpen in a collaboration with Julia Koerner, an Austrian architect, as well as Materialise. 

Cape and skirt:

This was the first piece ever created using a FDM 3D printer.  It brings color and texture to 3D printing.  Resulting from a new collaboration between Iris van Herpen and Neri Oxman from MIT’s Media Lab, this piece was 3D printed by Stratasys.  

Jewelry:

The Voltage collection featured one more 3D printed piece. Renewing her collaboration with Isaie Bloch, a fascinating neck accessory was created.

Carey Mulligan

This week’s Style Crush is the ever lovely Carey Mulligan! 

Carey’s blossomed from a relative unknown to ‘’the new Audrey Hepburn’’ of Hollywood.

With films like An Education, Pride & Prejudice and Shame under her belt and with the most recent, the ever fashionable Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby, she has become a rising star and likely to gain more accolades for her roles.

On to her style, Carrey combines boho-chic and mod, not necessarily at the same time.

Loose fitting clothes, pixie haircut, jackets, suit pants and ballet shoes are almost a permanent companion to her looks.

Here are some of her best moments.

Items:  Darkgreen Pleated Maxi Skirt,  Long vest top,  Ankle boots,  Ray-Ban 'Clubmaster' 51mm Sunglasses,  Nica Nikki Tote Bag, Tan

A simple Spring/Summer look in earth tones that fit every skin tone.

Although maxi skirts seem difficult if you have not got the perfect figure (and who does?), don’t panic!

If you are a tall woman, like Mulligan (she stands at 170cm!), then you’re good to go with a pair of flats.

If you’re shorter, then heeled boots will do the trick for you and nobody has to know.

If you want some added curves to your body, pleats are the way to go. If you want a more slimming effect, choose one with a more straight

Items: 

JIL SANDER NAVY - Wool Textured Pullover,  

Imitation leather joggers,  

Easy Edge Flat in Black,  

Ted Baker Nola Oversize Sunglasses

An easy look for all times; Carey chooses a grey and black colour-block sweater, giving a graphic element to the look.

Paired with pointy flats it makes the outfit ever more interesting.

Items:  BLACK COLOUR BLOCK LEATHER BIKER JACKET,  Superstretch trousers,  ASOS LILY PAD Ballet Flats,  Dark Red Dip Hem Short Sleeve Top

More colour block elements from Carey; this time a biker jacket. Make sure you keep everything else monochromatic or close to the colours of your jacket.
