#QueenElizabeth II has had a lifelong love affair with #Hermes silk scarfs, her collection traces as far back as the 40s. The headscarf has now become a quintessential fashion staple for attendees of the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
In 1969, @Dior showcased it’s ‘Fur Fashion Show’ in London. It was more of a cabaret styled show then anything with performers dancing around in some of the worlds most expensive winter coats - £500k worth to be exact which today would be £8 million!
#NicoleKidman appeared on the #GrahamNortonShow in 2016, where she shared photographs from her modelling days as a teenager. How epic was her curly hair!
With the 91st #AcademyAwards in the history books, I think it’s safe to say it was the greatest #Oscars by far. There was diversity across all categories, fantastic performances and superb speechs. It also surprisingly ran smoothly without a host!
The earliest top hat is often attributed to #JohnHetherington. His first public outing in the top hat caused a riot, and he was later charged. It later gained acceptance thanks to #BeauBrummel, who was an innovator in fashion at the time and was a close friend of #KingGeorgeIV.
#AngelinaJolie swept the red carpet at the 2012 #Oscars in her chic black velvet @Versace gown. The elegant design made her right leg a celebrity in its own right spawning it’s own Twitter page, that grossed up to 30k followers overnight causing the internet to go into a meltdown
In 2011, #JenniferLawrence attended the #Oscars for the very 1st time stunning everybody in her gorgeous red custom @CalvinKlein dress. 20 year old J-Law was nominated for Best Actress that night for her role in ‘Winter’s Bone’ she didn’t win, but she eventually did 2 years later
“She chooses simple, severe looks that not everyone would wear. She knows how to set off her beauty with clothes. That’s a rare gift.” - @TOMFORD on #CarolynBessette
When WWI broke out, the British Army tapped the expertise of #ThomasBurberry to update his ‘Tielocken’ design which was an unbuttoned coat with a belt that fastens around the waist. They needed it to be more functional on the battlefield.
Did you know that #RachelMcAdams was originally offered the Andy role in Devil Wears Prada? Lucky for us #AnneHathaway wanted the role so bad, she traced the words ‘hire me’ in the sand of a zen garden in the studio executives office. Dedication at its finest.
@thebeatles not only revolutionised the music world they also set many fashion trends. Here’s a graphic timeline showcasing there style changes throughout there 10 year run. 1960-1970.
Here’s a delightful newsreel from 1956, depicting the latest in women’s office and casual wear. All the styles are inspired by the film ‘The Benny Goodman Story’. #1950s#50s
In 2009, @virgilabloh and @kanyewest interned at @fendi as they where desperate to learn about the industry first hand. They were required to work regular nine-to-five hours, get their supervisors coffee and do a lot of photocopying.
