Trend Spring 2009: Huge Earrings!

It is no secret that I love huge jewellery, anything from enormous necklaces, rings, bracelets and of course earrings! So, you can imagine how excited I was that huge earrings are the next major trend for Spring/Summer 2009. Also featured on the British Vogue Loves, these Zac Posen Spring 2009 earrings are a grand highlight! The chandelier style beauties are danggling, huge and a definite show stopper. Whether you chose silver styles, Swarovski sparling crystals or tribal colored stones, do not be afraid to experiment and let your imagination fly just as long as they are large. In fact, the larger, the better! Just remember to pull your hair back either in a French chic ponytail or styled into a quiff like in the Zac Posen fashion show. And of course, do not over-accessorize when you wear these beauties: chose simpler clothes and only one more accessory so that their magic appeal takes center stage.

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief Show

Many celebrities walked the runway for Fashion For Relief, a fashion show organized by supermodel Naomi Campbell to raise money for the charity The White Ribbon Alliance fund to promote safe childbirth. The clothes from the runway were later auctioned. The celebrities walking on the runway included designer Vivienne Westwood, model Chanel Iman, hot Tyson Beckford, Elizabeth Jagger, girl group the Sugababes and Miss Naomi Campbell of course.

Vivienne Westwood walked with a big smile down the runway wearing her own design. Naomi Campbell showed her supermodel walk down the runway a couple of times. She opened the show wearing a stunning Zac Posen green dress which raised $50,000 in the auction and then changed into an Yves Saint Laurent black outfit. Naomi also paired with young model Chanel Iman as they both wore the same Azzedine Allaia design dress; Naomi’s in black and Chanel’s in white.

The Fashion For Relief Show was presented during London Fashion Week for Spring 2009 at the National History Museum on September 17, 2008 in London, England. You can watch a short clip from the Fashion Show, although the quality is not very good. For more detailed pictures look below.

New York Spring 2009: Zac Posen

A favourite of the Hollywood stars, Zac Posen presented a collection with a girly glamour 70s chic. The collection was a contrast of cocktail dresses with extreme heavy beading and embroidery with more streamlined looks like peach chiffon dresses. Aside from the glamorous boudoir chic Red Carpet dresses, there was a Victoriana-meets-prairie girl feel to the high neck blouses and linen asymmetrical skirts with handkerchief details. The models had frosted lips as their center piece make-up and oversized dangling earrings.
