Rodarte Fall 2018 Ready-To-Wear Lookbook Stars Rowan Blanchard & More

Rowan Blanchard, Kirsten Dunst & More Celebs Star In Rodarte’s Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear Lookbook
Rodarte is a popular fashion brand beloved by celebrities of all ages and claims to fame. So it’s no surprise that for the brand’s Fall 2018 Ready-to-Wear lookbook, tons of stars were called upon to model the label’s latest daring designs. Instead of a runway presentation this season, designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy decided to channel their energy into a vintage Hollywood photo series that shows off the collection.
“We’re kind of now more freeing ourselves from what are the traditional ways that you can show and experience the emotion of a collection,” Kate Mulleavy shared about Rodarte’s latest showings.
Kirsten Dunst, Rowan Blanchard, Kim Gordon, Chloe x Halle, Grimes, Gia Coppola, Miranda July and Ava Phillippe were among the stylish stars featured in this stunning imagery. They simultaneously channeled Old Hollywood glamour and chic Parisian flair with their portraits, styled in elaborate headpieces and frilly ruffled gowns, with dainty lace umbrellas close at hand.
“We are thrilled to feature women who inspire us in our fall winter 2018 portrait series,” the designers shared about this work in a press release.
“It’s an important time for people to recognize that women are artistic, and that’s what I think these images reflect in all the different personalities,” Laura Mulleavy added about the style and casting choices.
This certainly is an inspiring – and overwhelmingly creative! – showcase. Now we will just have to count down the seconds until these whimsical creations are shoppable – and inevitably end up being celebs’ red carpet outfit picks for major events.

Steven Khalil Fall/Winter 2019/20 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

Steven Khalil Presents Fall/Winter 2019/20 Bridal and Evening Gowns
The gorgeous Steven Khalil Fall/Winter 2019/20 collection, called “Dame en Fleurs,” recently premiered at this summer’s season of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. The Sydney-born designer has an impressive history with stunning bridal gowns and red carpet dresses, offering custom couture looks for fashion-savvy clients. This season, a mix of elegantly embroidered occasion styles were crafted in dove and pale pink, cornflower blues, and deep jades.
“This story explores the anatomy and fragility of flowers – their natural peculiarity and softness, while combining and expressing these notions with a mixture of strength and romanticism,” the brand shared in a press release. “It was Steven’s intention to emulate and convey different flowers in varying stages of bloom- from tightly wrapped buds that hug and wrap the body to blossoms unfurling for a spring morning and fully fledged flowers triumphantly open and joyous.”

Most of the gowns presented on the runway took from 100-200 hours to be hand-finished and detailed. As the brand explained, “this is part of the DNA of the brand. Every collection is different but still special.”
“The woman envisioned to be drawn to and wear pieces from this collection is like so many of the women Steven loves to dress – strong, passionate and confident – but who also likes to express their femininity and understand the power of and look for a dramatic silhouette.”
From opulent wedding dresses to shimmering party styles, this haute couture collection is filled with tons of glamorous evening wear inspiration.

Tarte Mermaid Palette: Shop Be A Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadows

Tarte Releases the Dazzling Be A Mermaid Eyeshadow Palette
We would be hardcore lying if we said we didn’t envy the effortlessly dazzling makeup of mermaids. They live entirely underwater, yet they are always radiant and glowing – with colorful makeup that doesn’t seem to budge. How do they do it? (Besides the magical, mythical help.) Well, it seems like the Tarte Mermaid palette would get us as close to the sea creatures’ styles as possible.
Tarte Cosmetics just revealed its Be A Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette – which is full of fourteen matte and metallic eyeshadow shades to help you craft the mystical eye looks of your dreams. Housed inside an iridescent blue clamshell case, of course.
“Create looks fit for a sea siren with these glimmering neutrals, jewel tones, and aquatic hues in matte and metallic formulas,” Sephora shared about this launch. “With Amazonian clay and mineral pigments, the creamy powder formulas blend beautifully, while balancing skin on lids to prevent pigment from creasing or fading.”

The shades in this collection are adorably called Nude Beach, Shore Thing, Frosé, Beach Please, Mermosa, Cavern, Fin-tastic, Sandbar, Salt Water, Shipwreck, Shell Yea, Bubbles, Splash, and Lagoon. They’re highly pigmented, and don’t sacrifice on the shine. Just like we like it.
For a limited time, this palette will be exclusive to Sephora, selling for $42. Then, the palette will drop on the brand’s direct website and in other retail stores – just in time for creating your go-to summer looks.
If you’re loving this Tarte Mermaid palette, be sure to check out their ultra-popular Rainforest of the Sea collection as well. This product line from Tarte Cosmetics seems to always be expanding to include gorgeous new offerings.
This season, we are particularly loving the glow-boosting Skin Twinkle Lighting Palette Volume II ($42 for a highlighting and strobing palette that gives you goddess-like sheen) and the newest shades of Color Splash Lipstick ($21 a pop, worth every penny.)
You can catch us rocking these shades down by the shore all season long.

Leah Da Gloria Bridal 2020 Collection And Couture Wedding Dresses

Leah Da Gloria Presents Two Luxurious 2020 Bridal Collections
Two Leah Da Gloria Bridal 2020 collections made their debut during this New York Bridal Fashion Week market season: the Leah Da Gloria Couture collection, and the ready-to-wear range Boheme by Leah Da Gloria. The Australian wedding dress designer truly has something for every bride, with an offering that ranges from sleek jumpsuits to traditional beaded mermaid-inspired gowns.
“The Leah Da Gloria couture collection is the premium line for the bride who understands pure luxury and refinement,” the brand explained in a press release. “A collection of heirloom pieces that spare no expense in adornment whilst still maintaining restraint. Each piece is meticulously hand crafted and unique. The 2020 collection brings hints of old world glamour, rich beading and bold cuts, for the bold bride who wants to make her wedding day her own personal red carpet moment.”

On the still-glamorous but more affordable end, “Boheme by Leah Da Gloria is a collection of pieces that evoke the magical feeling of couture, streamlined into ready to wear gowns and separates that embody the Leah Da Gloria aesthetic,” according to the brand. The pieces don’t sacrifice at all on the elaborate fine detailing – or the drama factor.
“The refinement of our production process has enabled the creation of a collection that offers succinct luxury and quality with a unique array of styles for the modern bride who understands quality,” the brand shared. “BOHÉME 2020 was inspired by modern tailoring and a move to minimalism, a palette cleanse of fresh pieces that take a breath from the heavy lace of recent bridal seasons.”

Photographer & Artist Rob Decker Talks About National Parks Posters

Photographer Rob Decker Creates Vintage-Inspired National Parks Posters – Exclusive Interview
Rob Decker has a lifetime of passion for and knowledge about America’s National Parks. Now, he is turning his own 50+ year experiences of exploring and photographing the nation’s finest natural destinations into a special kind of art. Richard Magazine spoke with the photographer and graphic artist, who, in an effort to connect the next generation of park supporters with his own art and imagery, has created vibrant and beautiful artworks that pay tribute to these captivating places across the land.
Decker is working to create vintage-inspired posters featuring images of all 60 of the country’s national parks, in a style reminiscent of the Works Progress Administration of the 1930s and 40s. Each poster is printed with soy-based inks on 100% recycled paper, and 10% of annual profits are donated back to National Parks-supporting educational programs.
You can support the project by shopping posters of your own favorite destinations on the National Park posters website. To get to know more about the story behind the artwork and how this initiative came to be, make sure to check out our exclusive interview below.
Richard Magazine: Can you tell us how the idea to turn your work into park posters came about?
Rob Decker: I had the rare experience of studying under Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park when I was just 19 years old – an experience that solidified my love of photography and the national parks. But the story behind the posters starts at my daughter’s wedding about 5 years ago. She found a vintage dress, and I photographed various locations in Colorado, and then created this WPA-style art for the Save the Date cards, table cards… and a poster that guests could sign at the reception. And although it was her special day, I got a lot of encouragement to do something more. Ultimately, I ran three successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns and within a year and a half, left my day job in the rear view mirror. I’ve been traveling to, photographing and creating these WPA-style posters ever since.
Richard Magazine: What about the national parks would you say has changed and what has stayed the same over the span of your career?
Rob Decker: Without a doubt, the national parks are more popular than ever. That means bigger crowds and traffic congestion, and a more difficult time getting reservations at campgrounds and lodges. With the backlog of maintenance and smaller budgets, today, infrastructure problems with roads and trails are more apparent. There seem to be fewer rangers and staff available. And, perhaps most disconcerting is a seeming lack of respect for these amazing places – such as defacing rock formations or monuments with graffiti, bringing pets where they are not allowed – not to mention the recent trend of rolling back protections for mining and drilling.
Of course, what’s stayed the same are the amazing landscapes and vistas – and the opportunity to explore and understand this country’s vibrant culture and rich history, which these places protect. As our lives become more urban and more digital, I think that it’s more important now than ever, that we have places to escape our every day lives, get back to nature and renew our spirit.
Richard Magazine: How do you hope your work inspires others to support park conservation efforts?
As I continue to visit and photograph our national parks, I feel a greater sense of the need to protect them. My hope is that by creating these iconic images, I can help to generate awareness — not only of the grandeur of these amazing places — but also for the need of continued protection and operation of the parks. I think that everyone — now and in the future — should have a chance to enjoy the often-fascinating and always awe-inspiring majesty of our national parks. When people purchase one of my creations, they also help the organizations, trusts, conservancies and associations that support our National Parks. I donate 10% of annual profits as well as posters, postcards and canvas prints to these organizations who use them to raise funds for their ongoing work.
Richard Magazine: Is it possible to pick a top 3 favorite parks to visit and photograph?
Rob Decker: Photographing the national parks is always a challenge. Some are massive – like the Grand Canyon. Others are diverse, like Olympic National Park (coastal areas, rain forests, high mountain peaks). Each park presents a multitude of opportunities for photographers, but the top three on my list would have to be Yosemite (California), Canyonlands (Utah) and Grand Teton (Wyoming).

Roberto Cavalli Does Jungle-Inspired Luxury Perfectly | Richard Magazine

Roberto Cavalli Does Jungle-Inspired Luxury Perfectly
Many designers strive to create an entire aesthetic world with their designs. These efforts are why you can point out a Coach bag or identify Chanel perfume in everyday life. It’s intensely distinct and represents a specific type of high-end products that are sought after and acclaimed for quality and reputation. Not all companies have the legacy to back up their aesthetic taste. Most rely more on visuals and bold features to stand out from the crowd and usher you into their personal design world. Of all these emerging brands vying for consumer attention, few have made as big a splash in fashion or interior design as Roberto Cavalli.
Cavalli’s themes are colorful, dramatic, and easily recognizable, three characteristics that set him apart from the rest of the design crowd. He’s bold without being aggressive or ambiguous. Each of his pieces incorporates natural textures, colors, and shapes to evoke jungle safaris and other outdoor adventures. Imagine a table made with large cuts of rounded precious stones. The natural stone recalls nature in multiple ways from being natural material to appearing like the footprints of a rhinoceros. This is the genius of designers at Roberto Cavalli. Their jungle-themed designs feel tropically inspired even when they aren’t aggressive animal prints or exotic products.
Roberto Cavalli uses this expert understanding of materials and presentation in both his interior design work and fashion collections. They just manifest in different ways. Much of his furniture is made with materials pulled from the great outdoors, while his clothing pieces are more stylistic in their naturalism. Capitalizing on the recent return of 70s chic, Cavalli combines jungle-inspired prints with bohemian tassels and bright brownish shades in most of his outfits. Check out the designer’s latest collection of furniture at Italy’s Salone del Mobile Milano.

“We grew up with Disney and for us it represents a magical, colorful and inspirational world.

How to Rock Bold Lipstick Colors | Richard Magazine

How to Rock Bold Lipstick Colors

I love me some vibrant, rich, bold lipstick colors. Seriously, lip products are basically some of my favorite things in life. Nothing excites me more than picking up a new lipstick at the store or reaching into my makeup bag to touch up my gloss. It’s the best pick me up after a long day. And in many ways, your lipstick can make or break your look.
Here at Richard, we personally love converting shy makeup wearers into confident ones. That means stepping up your lip shades and rocking some bolder colors. So here’s some ideas on how to incorporate bolder lip colors into your look!

1. Find The Right Shade Lipstick For YOU
Before you can learn how to wear a bright color, you first need to know how to choose the best shade for you. Get to know your skin tone a little better. If you look at the veins on the inside of your wrist, you may notice they look more blue or more green. If they look more blue, your skin is cool-toned and lipstick shades with a blue tone which will make your skin tone pop. If they look green, your skin is warm toned and lipstick colors that are more yellow or orangey will look lovely on you. Can’t really figure out which you are? Hooray! You’re probably neutral which means you can pull off most lip colors.

2. Prepare Those Lips
Before you can swipe on that bold, sexy, color you need to make sure your lips are ready. This means you should exfoliate your lips to get them in tip-top condition. We recommend a lip scrub like Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub for a splurge, Elf Lip Exfoliator for a budget – friendly option or you can make your own! Just take some sugar and mix it with some vaseline lip balm. Put the mixture on your lips and rub in circles with your finger or gently, with a toothbrush to scrub off the dead skin. Ta-da! You’re left with a smooth, supple, shiny pucker.

3. Complement a Nude or Neutral Eye Shadow
So, now we’re ready to put on some makeup! If you want to get a subtle, shadowy look (colors ranging from champagne to mid–tone brown or taupe) you can amp up your lips with a brighter color. Your lips will take the spotlight and the lighter eye shadow look will complement and highlight your lips. Mastering makeup is all about balance.
Champagne eyes pair beautifully with any color from pink, to reds and corals. General rule of thumb – keep your eyes lighter with a brighter lip color.
We recommend trying these combos for fall!
Champagne on the lid, taupe in the crease, and a deep burgundy wine on the lips
Rose gold on the lid, mid–tone brown in the crease and a deeper berry on the lips
Champagne on the lid, light golden bronze in the crease and magenta on the lips.

4. Going All Out
This can be tricky. One wrong move and you will be looking seriously 80s. But do it right and you’ll look insanely glamorous. Like a makeup goddess or Kim Kardashian’s hotter cousin. Excited? Read on.
So, you can wear both bold eye shadow colors and bold lips together. It’s not taboo. It’s awesome. Just keep in mind, we again, want to keep our look balanced. With strong eyeshadow and strong lips, you have to add color to the rest of your face, but not too much. Having just foundation on will make the rest of your pigmented features look harsh. Choose a bright color in the same tone as your lips for your blush, but just sweep it on lightly for a subtle, fresh flush. Don’t be too heavy – handed in your contour or again you’ll end up in 80s land. Opt for a touch of bronzer for a little touch of warmth on the cheeks instead. Ah, much more modern. In the end, when going super glam you just have to go for it! And own your look. One combo that has never failed to make men melt? Smokey eye and siren, red lips. A warm,rich orangey red for modern day femme fatale or a cool, blue – toned red for old Hollywood star. Yes, this is the ultimate in glamorous makeup. Wear this and you will look and feel like Angelina Jolie. While you’re at it, don’t forget the fake eye lashes!
Remember girls, at the end of the day makeup is about having fun. So don’t be afraid to try bold lip colors. One thing I almost forgot! Don’t get lipstick all over your man’s face. Not cute. First blot the color down so you’re left with a rich stain – all the pigment, without the smear.
