Good American Denim Launches in the UK

Good American – the denim label co-founded by Khloe Kardashian has arrived in the UK exclusively at Selfridges.  It’s a big deal for both the brand and the store, the reason?  It’s the first time Selfridges has carried a plus size clothing range.  With sizes from 00-24, Khloe said from the outset, the brand would only work with retailers who would carry every size throughout the range.  Result.

Not familiar with the brand?  Then get acquainted, Good American is a fashion label designed for a curvier, sexier and stronger shape.  Founded by Khloe Kardashian and Emma Grede, the brand celebrates femininity and curves.

“We believe everybody deserves to be shown off. Fashion should be made to fit women, not the other way around. Body ideals really have shifted in the last few years”  Emma Grede

The product is is actually pretty damn good.  Hand crafted in LA, no part of the process is outsourced and a lot of time has been spent getting the fit just right.  Good American jeans don’t have that unsightly gape at the back, they’re designed to give a lift and be comfortable AF.  It takes 100 hands to make one pair of Good American jeans – a fact the brand’s is proud of.

“Emma and I both agreed there was something missing from the denim community Wehenever we bought new jeans, it was hard for us to find a pair that fit our body types, and even when we did they’d always need alterations. We knew if we both had this problem, there must be tons of girls who did too. So we set out to make a denim line that’s sexy and flattering, and made to fit you – not the other way round.”  Khloe Kardashian

On its US launch day last year, Good American sold over $1 million in jeans alone and the response has been staggering with Khloe saying people have come back for their fourth, fifth and sixth pairs after discovering just how awesome the Good American fit is.  Need a celebrity endorsement?  You won’t find Kardashian’s celebrity friends in the campaign but already it’s garnered an army of famous fans including Ashley Graham, Gabrielle Union and of course, Kendall Jenner.

The important thing here is the size range.  Never has there been a denim range so diverse in the fashion market space.  With jackets, skirts, shorts and jeans (obvs) making up the range, in a variety of styles too, there’s never been so much choice from one denim brand.  The campaign has been applauded for featuring models representing all sizes and showing how girls of differing body shapes wear denim in real life.  Kudos Kardashian, this one’s a doozie.

The Good American denim collection launched in the U.K. this week, exclusively at Selfridges in store and online with prices starting at £135.

The Perfect Blowout at Glam Squad Express

The arrival of Glam Squad Express has caused quite a stir in Newcastle and the place isn’t even officially open yet, well, it is, but it isn’t…..

If you’re not already familiar, Glam Squad Express is a Collective, a team of professionals skilled in the art of make-up, hair and nails.  Think Kardashian and you’re on the right track, Kim regularly credits her #GlamSquad for her signature make-up look and Killer Kontour and says she won’t travel without them.  Well folks, that’s exactly the idea behind  Glam Squad Express, a one stop shop to get you event ready in a flash, Kardashian style, and with appointments available late into the evening, this is one place that should absolutely be on your radar.

With the official launch of Glam Squad Express still a month away, the team are using their time to upskill and perfect their techniques and this weekend was all about the signature blowout.  With the help of two of the UK’s top Hair Stylists from Urban Retreat, Harrods, the team were treated to a masterclass in creating and mastering the perfect bouncy blowout.

David Fletcher (Fletch) and Tracey Jones from Urban Retreat, Harrods, bring with them a wealth of experience, having worked with everyone from Ashley Roberts and Abbey Crouch to Frankie bridge and Kelly Brook, their list of credentials is endlessly impressive, and with extensive Fashion Month and TV styling experience, who better to learn from, right?

Glam Squad Express Stylists Rachael and Rebecca were given an intensive, hands on  Blowout Masterclass, with models brought in from local agency Tyne Tees Models, the reigning Miss Newcastle and reality TV stars from hit MTV series Geordie Shore, (with gorgeous Geordie Shore star Chantelle Connolly crediting it as the best blow-dry she’s ever had) the girls were taught to recreate the perfect bouncy blowout requested so often in salons up and down the country.

Fletch tells me that the perfect blow-dry is for anyone.  Absolutely any hair length, from a short crop or a sharp bob through to long, Kardashian-esque locks, there’s a perfect blowout for you, and the principles are the same.  He goes on to say “It’s not about creating volume, it’s about getting a lift, yes, but it’s also about making the top heavy so the hair sits closer to the head and the wave is through the ends, that’s what makes it natural, sexy and less styled”

So if you have shorter hair, like me (not through choice) and you thought this wasn’t something you could tap into, then this should be music to your ears.  Don’t believe me?  How about some visual evidence….

Convinced and want a piece of the action?  Then you’d better get yourself booked in with the newly upskilled #GlamSquad!  For the month of April and up until the official launch, Glam Squad Express are running a special introductory offer, £35 for both hair and makeup in one appointment.  That’s right Voyeurs, you can kick back with a glass of fizz while your own personal Glam Squad work their magic on you; take in a movie on their big screen TV, catch up on emails or whatever takes your fancy.  I did exactly that this weekend and channelled my inner Khloe Kardashian.  To book click here.

Kanye West x Adidas

Yesterday saw the arrival of NYFW FW15 which opened with Nicholas K, however the most hotly anticipated show of Day 1 was undoubtedly the collaboration between Kanye West and Adidas Originals, dubbed Kanye West x Adidas.

In the days leading up to the show social media was abuzz with the hashtags #YeezySeason and #YEEZYBOOST (the name of the sneaker which heads up the collection) and last night as the performance unfolded those hashtags were sent stratospheric.

IMG_9349  IMG_9325

The elite players of the fashion and music scene gathered at Skylight, Clarkson Square last night to watch the show that Kanye labelled a “performance” and set to his newest track “Wolves” featuring Sia.  The FROW was an editorial dream with the obvious Klan of  in-laws; Kendall, Khloe Kardashian & Kris Jenner.  Further along the FROW were Rihanna, Alexander Wang, Cassie, Diddy, Jay Z, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and North West (natch) and Anna Wintour.

IMG_9405 IMG_9360 IMG_9341 IMG_9404 IMG_9334

In true Fashion Wife style, Kim wore a Yeezy look straight off the runway with her trademark Klassic Kardashian Kontouring (and dare I say it, she looked better than the models.)

IMG_9394    IMG_9388

One of the biggest surprises of the night was that Kylie Jenner was absent from the FROW instead modelling as part of the show while supermodel sister Kendall looked on.

IMG_9353        IMG_9365   IMG_9343

The collection itself was simple and very Kanye; neutral tones, simple lines, minimalist and form fitting, post apocalyptic even, you get the picture.  The designs were daring, yet expected and the focus was most definitely on the aesthetic of the female form.  Not everyone loved it but then we’ve come to know and love Kanye for his ability to create a talking point.  Take a look for yourself and see what you think:

IMG_9326  IMG_9327  IMG_9350  IMG_9333  IMG_9340  IMG_9411  IMG_9336

 

At the end of the show Kanye was given a standing ovation, whatever you might think of Mr West, there’s no denying the influence this guy has had on fashion and his debut collection for Adidas Originals will undoubtedly be a huge success, just check what’s trending on social media this morning, it’s guaranteed that Kanye will be up there.

So after an explosive day 1, what will the rest of NYFW hold? I don’t know about you but i can’t wait to find out……
