Australian Afterpay Fashionweek - Beare Park Resort 2022

Beare Park’s Debut Collection Is A Masterclass In Understated Chic

The brand has left a lasting impression.

On Wednesday June 2 at the iconic Sydney Opera House, Beare Parkreleased its debut collection into the world. The scene was set for a spectacular show, and it absolutely delivered.

 Founded by friends Gabriella Pereira and Angela Krantz, the collection is a culmination of hard work, determination and a desire to bring unparalleled quality to the Australian fashion scene. 

Taking a capsule-approach to dressing, many pieces are designed to be worn together, with multiple garments being mixed and matched throughout the show. We saw a strapless velvet top paired with trousers initially, before it returned towards the end of the show as a striking mini dress. The versatility of each piece makes them a must-have for minimalist dressing, which only continues to grow in popularity.

One of the most beautiful things about this collection is its unique ability to transcend both age and gender. Elegant silk trousers, billowing shirts and oversized blazers are capable of complimenting anyone, making it a highly inclusive range. The androgynous nature of the designs is yet another inclusivity push, with male models showcasing a relaxed-fitting suit and sophisticated shirt/trouser look.

Every piece has been handmade in Sydney by master tailors. The only international component is the fabrics, with silk sourced from the world's finest mills in Japan and Italy (read: unparalleled quality). Wool garments have been carefully crafted from Australian merino wool and woven with silk from the Biella region of northern Italy (a region renowned for producing the world's highest quality wool cloth since the 17th Century).

Kristen Stewart Was An Audience of One at Chanel’s Metiers d’Art Show

 

Kristen Stewart was an audience of one at Chanel’s Métiers d’Art Show

We’re used to celebrities getting the best seat in the house, but 

Chanel’s most recent fashion show took A-list benefits to a new level of extravagance. At the fashion house’s latest Métiers d’Art Show in France, the team took physical distancing guidelines very seriously and invited only one audience member – long-time Chanel lover Kristen Stewart.

According to Nylon, Chanel’s latest runway event required 300 employees to create and only an audience of one to witness it in person. The show took place at Château de Chenonceau in France, which was chosen for its historical impact on the fashion house. In a statement released by Chanel creative director Virginie Viard, she called Château de Chenonceau an “obvious choice” because of its former inhabitants, including Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de’ Medici, two women who inspired Coco Chanel to create the brand’s iconic looks. Both women were known for their black-and-white ensembles, a trademark for Chanel and one that was continued with the unveiling of the latest collection.

Viard described the latest collection as pulling from different 

moments in time. “I like everything to be mixed up, all the 

different eras, between the Renaissance and romanticism, 

between rock and something very girly, it is all very Chanel.”

Stewart spoke to WWD about the history of the Château and 

the famous women who lived there. “I was just telling 

Virginie, it felt like the story was folding in on itself,” said 

Stewart via Nylon. “The women who lived here before were 

really into art, and promoted a lot of creativity, and loved to be 

inspired and inspire other people to come create, and I was 

imagining who our characters were while watching the show. 

I’m always proud of her, but it felt very personal this time.”

Stewart first became associated with Chanel when she was 

chosen as the face of the company’s Western-inspired line in 

2013. The American actor will once again be heading a Chanel

 campaign as the face of the collection that launched during the

 December 3 show. Stewart’s new ads showcasing the 

collection will be filmed by Juergen Teller, who has worked 

with just about every other major fashion house, including 

Helmut Lang, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, 

Céline, Louis Vuitton and Valentino. Teller filmed this week’s 

show and has released footage taken from around the 

stunning Château. 

Stewart dressed for the occasion in all black and a layered 

string of pearls, a must have for any Chanel outfit. Sitting on 

one side of the extended hallway, Stewart had a front row view

of the Fall 2021 line, which included several button-up coats 

and wide legged pants that her Happiest Season character 

Abby would have loved

Kaia Gerber Shows Off Blonde Hair (And A Broken Arm) In A Lockdown Update

Kaia Gerber takes to her instagram to tell of “a little accident that led to a dislocated wrist” she wears a bright blue full arm cast and looks like she’s in good spirits anyway

So far, Kaia Gerber has taken lockdown in her stride, from taking endless pool-side selfies with her tiny husky-bulldog mix puppy to launching her first book club, featuring cameos by everyone from Jia Tolentino to Lena Dunham. Not even supermodels, however, are accident-proof – as Kaia proved when she shared an image of herself on 16 May in a giant arm cast (and, yes, a micro bikini).

“Had a little accident but I’m okay!” she stoically captioned the image, which was followed by an X-Ray showing a dramatic fracture. Naturally, the fashion industry was quick to jump in with well wishes, with the likes of creative director Fabien Baron and fellow model Georgia May Jagger posting messages of support and healing.

Almost as noticeable as the sky-blue cast? Kaia’s significantly lighter hair. The model first dyed her locks at home after watching an online tutorial in late April – opting to apply hydrogen peroxide directly onto the strands. (As any hairstylist will tell you, this is a risky manoeuvre.) She’s also considering bangs, if her recent post of Audrey Hepburn cutting her own hair is anything to go by.
