Born between the streets of downtown New York and the West Coast, for Coach Pre-Spring’18 we see a new rock tomboy approach- a style that meets the romance of American dreamers, with a sci-fi  feeling and an allure of ’70s beauty.

There were plenty of glittery dresses matched with embellished biker studs plus chunky jewellery pieces and over-sized chains. The collection as a whole cheered for the all-American girls alongside Coach’s team mascots: Rexy, Sharky and their latest addition, Uni- the unicorn.

The unique and unexpected contradictions make this collection complete with a new take on of a luxurious New York City-style.

Behind The Scenes With Coach And Selena Gomez

How many times have you read about key skincare ingredients in your beauty products but never understood their benefits? We take a look at some of those fancy scientific terms so next time you’re at a cosmetic counter you pick exactly what you need.

Vitamin C

If you’re battling dark circles or starting anti-aging care, then you need to look at products containing Vitamin C. It lowers production of pigment and brightens the pigmentation that’s already there, and as it assists in development collagen it strengthens skin while minimizing fine lines in the process.

Hyaluronic Acid

For the strongest boost of moisture that skincare creators can offer, nothing is better than hyaluronic acid. Everyone looks better with hydrated complexion and it benefits any skin type, at any age leaving it plump and dewy.

Glycolic Acid

Sometimes using a scrub can do more damage than good, that’s why glycolic acid is such a great tool at exfoliating the skin by safely removing dead-skin buildup and allowing fresh skin to surface.

Retinol

Retinol has been shown to build collagen, improve skin’s texture, fight acne and most importantly decrease fine lines. Basically it’s a miracle ingredient, but start off with a mild version, use plenty of moisturizer and don’t forget SPF for the most effective results.

Skincare Routine Be Prepared

 Mixing Turkish heritage with a modern approach to craftsmanship, Kismet by Milka founder Milka Karaagacli creates fine jewellery that is equally iconic and delicate.

Using precious metal and diamonds, Karaagacli remains true to her Turkish heritage but uses oriental and urban influences, especially from Instanbul, to collate a timeless selection of pieces that can enhance any outfit. Paying particular attention to quality, her work has been spotted on the likes of Beyoncé, Madonna and Bella Hadid.

Karaagacli has a background in marketing and communications, but it was her grandfather who was in the jewellery business at the time that subconsciously installed a creative side when she was little. It wasn’t till she was reaching the end of her 14-year career in marketing that she realized that she wanted to do something else and began making gems as a hobby.

A fan of a simple style but with an edge, she likes asymmetry and never wears earrings as a pair – that’s why she sells them separately in across the world including Boom & Mellow in Dubai.

A&E Guide To Top Desert Resorts

Established in 2008, Emperor London is an accessible luxury high-street brand, with a mix of perfect cuts, focused on refined details and on trend clothing. The London-based label created quality statement clothing and accessories ideal for Men and Boys. Famous for it’s lifestyle touch, Emperor is here to transform the latest fashion trends into accessible luxury.

A&E gets up-close and personal with the creative minds behind the urban brand, Babak, Farhan, and Haman Golkar, the three siblings elaborate more about their love for contemporary fashion, why they decided to create a male driven brand, and give us a clearer image of what’s on Emperor London’s agenda for the coming 2018.

How did Emperor London come about? What’s the story behind the brand?

We have always wanted to go into a fashion business together.  It has been an important part of our mission to create a fashion brand that makes high quality products at an accessible price point. We wanted to create something that made our customers feel like an Emperor without spending like one!

How did you develop an interest in men fashion?

Men fashion is all about balance and harmony.  Men clothes are not necessarily the most complicated to make like women clothes are, so what makes them special are the details, fabrics and cut.  These are details that have always been our main interest and creating menswear is a perfect outlet for our passion.

Tell us more about the design process. How do you source and select materials?

We draw a lot of our inspiration from architecture, the metallic details we use in our clothes are reminiscent to metal details found in royal palaces.  We always believe that it is those little details that make something feel and look like a luxury product.  Apart from that our greatest inspiration are the people around us.  We always have a sensitive ear to what men want and use, so one must say that this would be starting point to our creative process.

 The Emperor London brand is big on merging street-wear and high-street fashion. How do you incorporate that in your designs?

We start our design process always with our customer in mind.  What does the Emperor Man do, where does he go and how does he travel? We live in a very active society where we are always moving, our clothes always have to adapt to the time of day we are in. This fast paced world that we live in no, we don’t have the time to go and change our clothes 3 times a day, so our collections have to embody the street wear look and seamlessly transition to a fashion piece in the evening.

How did you branch off into designing for Boys as well?

The concept of a “mini me” for the collection was always at the forefront of our brand’s vision.  Our Boy collections are exactly the same as the Men collections, but literally shrunk to ages 2 – 12.

High-street brands must keep up with new trends. How is this affecting you?

Fashion is an ever changing chameleon, with new ideas constantly being introduced and changed determined by the world and society around us. Fashion is a narrative of who we are and what our society is trying to say right now. It is such an incredible part of our job that we take great pride in being part of.  These changes and constant need to discover and research affects us in nothing but positive ways.

What do you have up your sleeve for Spring Summer 18?

Spring Summer 18 collection has the introduction of a lot of new items in the collection. We have our tailored pieces being introduced and the first light weight leather jacket is being made for the collection, also we are about to launch our very first shoe design, which we are incredibly excited about.

What’s your take on the Middle East market? Especially in Men’s fashion?

The Middle East has always been a place of beauty, from the incredible architecture, the beautiful fabrics and the works of art that have been a point of inspiration to so many international designers for many decades. Men in the region have always taken great pride in the way they look and are groomed. I don’t know of any Middle Eastern man, young or old, who would leave the house not looking well put together nor have their hair perfectly done.

How has Emperor London evolved, in terms of its online presence?

Online is such a vital part of fashion and retail culture now, it is something that cannot be ignored and will lead consumerism for generations to come. This is however not to diminish the importance of brick and mortar stores which is still vital to the experience of the brand.  We launched our online store last year and it is growing and developing at a rapid pace, reaching markets and cities who do not necessary have access to an Emperor Store i always a plus.

EMPEROR’s Flagship Store in Beirut, Lebanon

What has been your career highlight to date?

Probably being the first ever High Street brand from the Middle East to have opened in London and also having our first two franchise stores open in Beirut and Astana.

What’s your goal for 2018?

2018 is an exciting year for us. We are opening two stores in London in March along with our offices and showrooms there for the Europe market.  The success of Emperor Fragrance which was launched late 2017 will be developed and expanded on a much bigger global platform scale in 2018.

How To Master Off-Duty Style

Lucky for us certain trends have staying power like flat mules, thanks to Gucci and Christian Louboutin, and pastel hues that were spotted across several shows including Victoria Beckham.

However, some need to be flipped and reversed and we have selected the top 3 trend swaps to get you started with.

Off Shoulder For Power Shoulder

We won’t force you to pack away the numerous off-shoulder styles that you have been investing in over the last few season, but to keep up with the style crowd you need to give bare shoulders a swap for something stronger. A nod to the pumped-up drama of the ‘80s, shoulders are either rounded, padded or gathered.

Bucket Bags For Round Bags

Time to scrub up your bag collection and add some curves. Bucket bags offered the grab-and-go ease, however the ladylike appeal of a round bag has been growing a fan base of fashionista’s who style ripped jeans and sneakers with a circular feminine arm candy.

Bomber Jackets For Trench Coats

Streetwear is still a huge trend for next season and bomber jackets sit nicely in that category, but new season trench coats are more adventurous than ever. It may seem like a simple garment but of you look at details like feather trim or voluminous shapes – you’re bound to stand out.

Even the toughest guys can have a sensitive side, but when it’s clearly visible on your skin there are easy way to beat excess redness and prevent breakouts as well as premature ageing.

Here at A&E we like to take care of any complexion and have selected the most effective products to help you beat sensitive skin woes.

Do Cleanse

Always start your grooming routine with a gentle cleanser as a way to prepare your skin for other products and protect against the elements. Perricone MD’s gentle daily cleanser removes grime and product build-up without stripping away natural oil.

Extra Moisture

You may not want to overload your skin with product but the more moisture you add, the better are the results. Choose a cream with calming ingredients like REN Skincare’s Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream which is enriched with Omegas 3 and 7, Calendula and Chamomile Oils to soothe inflammation, discomfort and redness.

Polish

Use an exfoliator once a week to remove any dead skin and impurities that sit on the skin and cause irritation. You don’t have to be harsh, just use a little bit and apply in circular motions on problem areas.  Sisley’s buffing cream is formulated to exfoliate and refine the skin’s texture without damaging.

Swap Shaving Cream For Serum

This part of the routine can be the trickiest to get right but with new serums, daily shave can become even more beneficial. Aesop’s serum has a low-foaming texture and a blend of gentle hydrating Neroli Blossom and anti-inflammatory Aloe Vera that allows razor-close precision without assaulting or aggravating.

Mask It

For extra TLC add a mask to your weekly routine to further detoxify the skin. Erno Laszlo’s Hydrogel sheet masks are designed to calm and firm to give you a smoother, more even complexion.

Models looked handsome wearing military uniforms that came with a subtle neat touch. Van Assche explained backstage: “Mr. Dior often took his inspiration from officers’ and parade clothes, so some of those details really translate on men quite naturally.”

There were essential looks like a black suit with accentuated waist simply exalts the and broad shoulders and slim cut trousers. Van Assche included oversize labels stating the atelier’s address on ‘Rue de Marignan’, and the iconic logo was also scattered on the backs of shirts in khaki brown shades.
