CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Award Meet the Winner & the best dressed

Last Night New Yorks most fabulous apples, showed up glistening and gleaming to support the  CFDA/ Vogues Fashion Fund Award of which Paul Andrew was the worthy winner. Paul is in good company, as the prize has previously been awarded to Alexander Wang. Paul is a shoe designer is known for his chic, sleek city friendly designs and will receive $300,000 to invest in his line and most importantly, an industry mentorship (as well as a world of good publicity that comes with winning such an award). Runners up Eva Zuckerman and Ryan Roche won $100,000 and priceless industry mentorships. Needless to say, the event was rich with people dressed fabulously enjoy my best dressed picks :)

Joan Smalls with winner Paul Andrew. Come on look happy Paul!

Joan Keeps it casual and fresh with this laid back Stella McCartney dress, whilst contouring and smokey eyes ensuring her eyes and face pop. Great choice of nude shoes, by Paul Andrew of course, which ensure that her legs are elongated, whilst complimenting her skin tone beautifully.

Lilly Aldridge in all her bronzed glory stuns with this salmon dress, by Jaun Carlos Obando which elegantly compliments her skin and accessorises with a shimmering Edie Parker clutch. 

Two legends battle it out with style referenced from two different eras. Both look stunning. Anna Wintour & Stella McCartney.

Zac Posen always shows up with a beautiful date on his tailored sleeve. Tonight it is the stunning Liu Wen in this stunning textured backless white jump-suit.

Serena Williams looks like a tall glass of something beautiful in this stunning blue Zac Posen dress.

Jenna Lyons plays with shapes and comes up winning, with this unique look.

I love this on Eva Hewson. Winter witch look- top and skirt by Prabal Gurung

Made In Chelsea's Lucy Watson Enjoys Champagne By Pol Roger

What we drank & ate

The drinks were delicious with Cocktails by Johnnie Walker Gold Label, Champagne by Pol Roger and Asahi Beer. As for food, it was right up my alley, as it’s always nice when you come to a party and the food doesn’t make you bloat! The deliciously healthy canape’s were from Honestly Healthy by Natasha Corrett.

Unique Touches

But it was the flower headbands that had me, provided by The Flower Appreciation Society, a bespoke selection of flowers were hand woven to adorn each guest. There was also a photo booth, designed exclusively for MYLA by Rankin & Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reseve, where guests could show off their headbands and immortalise memories.

Overall the vibe was electric and positive, aided by my fair share of cocktails, I got talking to some of the great people who were there. Including Alek Wek, who despite being a fashion icon is incredibly real, charming and down to earth, and lit up the party, posing with models and enjoying the flowers.

The Beautiful Myla Models

Chanel Launches the new No 5 fashion film ft Gisele.

I am usually not a fan of fragrance advertisements, chiefly because they generally tend to make no sense. Whist this new Chanel film contains all the tell tell signs of a fragrance film (woman running somewhere looking for something) it also achieved far superior levels over typical perfume promos.

Perhaps that is because Chanel is experienced with this sort of thing. From Monroe to Nicole Kidman, over the years acclaimed directors have collaborated with our  it girls and icons.  2014 sees the addition of the beautiful Gisele. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the fashion film is truly a beautiful work of art. I think it is because Gisele has such a genuine life and energy about her that transpires so well through the lense thanks to Baz Luhrmann. I genuinely enjoyed it. So well done all.

 

Stay tuned for Launch Dinner Fashion tomorrow. The good the bad and the oh no girl why.

Love,
