Recreating Your Favourite Mag

I just thought about restyling some of my favourite magazines yesterday, so I used my database with asos-fashion-finder to create these styles. There are so many magazines out there, and sometimes it can be overwhelming. For me, continuous purchase of a particular magazine(s) is not about loyalty, it is a relationship built on commonality with the magazine over time.

COMPANY is a great magazine. I hope that I get an opportunity to work for them. I get alot of fashion information, events, promos and gift codes from them. It's a dynamic magazine that embraces all styles, body shapes and of course all women. Thanks COMPANY for being my fashion weapon.

See the magazines before the creation.......

Vintage chic

New African Woman Magazine represents all African Women. It is equally dynamic to COMPANY. NAW goes beyond fashion information, the magazine is a platform for all African Women to get established, therefore showcasing established and emerging talents to the international world and showcasing African Women in the diaspora worldwide. Thanks New African Woman for sharing African talents to the world.

Re-styled: Afropolitan

I love GLAMOUR, who doesn't? Just adore what it means. A feminine magazine for all women. It's sexy, fun, energetic and most of all full of IDEAS. Ideas that inspire me to be the stylist I am today. Thanks GLAMOUR for giving me so much confident.

Colour struck

 Country-life is as great as its fashion. I am inspired by weekend gateways to North Wales.

I am super excited by these designs to the point that I'm actually "speechless". I came across them yesterday on facebook and I will make it a mission to interview some of the designers behind this genius creations. As you can see, the designs and material are African inspired and totally mind-blowing. Think of "giraffe, peacock, myths about mermaid's" and other creatures. You can see this on every single design. Enough description, check them out........

 This is called "Psychédéliques" meaning a altered state of awareness. I call it an altered state of creativity. I mean look at the craftmanship. Totally awesome!

 This is truly a "graphic statement". It is show-stopping and very arithmetic. I sure remember my rectangles and circles.

What is this? Can anyone walk in this one? Oh yes..Lady Gaga. It's really interesting because some of this designs have been out well before Gaga (from 1990+). Shocking!

I love this number. Pink is a great colour when you see it in such as classic way. Flamboyant and interactive!

OK I am not sure which one is my favourite now, but I can tell you this design has taken over my soul :) Focus on the design below (very carefully and you shall feel the same effect).

If you have any designs/products you want to be featured, just send me an email salimatkah@yahoo.com

Valentino at Beverly Hills

Valentino flagship store finally opens in Beverly Hills today. As you would expect many A-listers attended to witness one of the most influential design house in the history of fashion open in the kingdom of glamour. These are my favourite looks and a definite SS trend. I name them......

Tribal chic

Louise Roe in a maxi-skirt, grey-shimmer blouse and snake-skin clutch. She looks effortlessly glamorous but comfortable too.

Italian glamour

Nicky is wearing one of Valentino's famous leather dress. Her shoe narrows her legs making them look like pins. Great choice of clutch bag. Looks like the wavy hair is back this season. Well done!

Extrovert

One of my favourite stylist Rachael Zoe in a Zebra print dress. Very Extrovert, won't you say?
The top widens her shoulder and the waist-belt slims her waist down making her look talker and of course, elegant. Well done Rachael! Love the make-up too.

These are my favourite looks from the occassion. Do you have any to share?

What is it about optical illusion dress?

I don't really understand the fuss. Everyone is wearing it, even Amy Childs latest collection has a piece of an optical illusion dress. Apparently, the dress gives a more je nais ce quoi to the female figure. So why is Kim Kardashian wearing it? She doesn't need any je nais ce quoi.
