What is the key piece for SS13?

Fyodor Golan exclusive at Harvey Nichols
Our bright yellow kimono top with blue face for day and the royal blue organic lace cocktail dress for evening.   

You reference the book Blue Tattoo as a source of inspiration for SS13 – how did this feed into your designs? 

We worked with royal blues and contrasting colours like acid yellow and bright hues of amber stones. Through the blues we wanted to accentuate Victorian austerity and with the warm colours bring contrast to the blue and create the heat of the desert to reflect Olive’s journey in the book. This collection was a journey to explore how one individual can express oneself through very structural and clean lines with flowy, gentle shapes and fabrications. We have also created the ‘Tattoo Dress’ that is fully hand-beaded and inspired by various American tribal body tattoos and symbols.

OSCARS 2013 BEAUTY HIGHLIGHTS

From Jessica Chastain and her signature red lipstick to Jennifer Lawrence and her pretty up-do, find out which Hollywood stars made waves with their beauty looks at the 2013 Oscars.

Jennifer Lawrence, 85th Annual Academy Awards
Taking the Oscar for Best Actress, Jennifer Lawrence has indeed found her beauty footing on the red carpet. Putting her best foot forward again, Lawrence worked her barely there base, balmy lips and grey blue eyes (with the help of a few extra lashes) and that super pretty up-do beautifully. 

Anne Hathaway at 85th Oscars
Anne Hathaway continues to think pink, and ditches her signature red lipstick, for a, we think, far more flattering look on her pale rose complexion. Matched with her softer blow-out too, it just works

Charlize Theron at 85th Oscar ceremony
Charlize Theron takes her Mad Max hair hangover and softens it with her failsafe girly ethereal sheeny, glowing make-up and gently lined eye.                    

Nicole Kidman at the 85th Oscar ceremony
 Nicole Kidman Taking it back to the old school with her hair maybe, we still like the stonger brow and more gutsy, plum toned, lipstick on. 

   Jessica Chastain at 85th Annual Academy Awards
    Yes we've seen her with this look before, but Jessica Chastain knows that a bit of old fashioned glamour in the form of her favourite side swept hair and red lipstick is the recipe for red carpet success. Shame she hasn't mastered the false lash effect quite so well. 

   Reese Witherspoon at 85th Annual Academy Awards
   Reese Withespoon brings a little 1940's glamour back to the red carpet. 

      Amy Adams 85th Annual Academy Awards
      Amy Adams and the glamorous updo     

       Sandra Bullock at 85th Annual Academy Awards
         Healthy wealthy hair (as seen on the catwalks for autumn winter 2013), fresh skin  and a peachy toned nude lipstick for Sandra Bullock , makes for a great little Hollywood update.   

  Naomie Harris at the 85th Oscar ceremony
  Golden eyed Naomie Harris matches her make-up to her dress, but keeps the whole look paired down - even her hair has that less than perfect finish to it - to keep the whole look modern.

Adele at the 85th Oscar ceremony 
What a difference a lip shade makes. Adele says goodbye to her classic, sixties nude lip  and hello to a fabulous sexy, red, pout for her performance later on.
