Miranda Kerr wears figure-hugging polo neck and leggings combo to Sonia Rykiel for PFW

She's been in town to promote her cover issue of Vogue Japan.

But hard-working model Miranda Kerr made sure she kept herself busy while in Paris, France on Monday night by walking the runway for fashion designer Sonia Rykiel for fashion week.

The stunning Australian star went for a futuristic look as she arrived at the venue, before a couple of outfit changes while showcasing the SS15 collection.


All the top supermodels have been out to play at Paris Fashion Week this season.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Karlie Kloss, Bar Rafaeli, Cara Delevingne, Joan Smalls and Kendall Jenner have all made appearances on the catwalk and on the front row. And now Miranda Kerr has joined them, strutting her stuff on the street between shows.

And what an ensemble she has put together. Skin tight blue leggings and matching top, an old Balmain biker jacket and a bling-tastic pair of high heel sandals. Check these beauties out! They must weigh a lot. We're surpised Miranda can lift her delicate feet!

They're by Giuseppe Zanotti, the Italian shoe designer whose over the top creations are beloved of stars like Khloe Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. His signature detail is a bold metal trim like on these heels so they're perfect for dressing up any look.

Buy them now direct from Zanotti's online store but be quick because they're selling out fast. Or try a high street version instead. They'll give you the same killer strut but won't break the bank. River Island has our top pick or grab a bargain buy at Missguided.

Marni gets happy again at Milan Fashion Week

It's always encouraging to see a label with the courage of its convictions. Three seasons ago when Marni decided to take a new path, the critics weren't so sure. It wasn't that they'd jettisoned the road map completely - Marni's customer is still a woman who likes to think she's operating outside the box. But her rich-lady-artist schtick was replaced by more of a fashion student one, circa late 80s/early 90s. Specifically a fashion student who revered Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garçons.

She's more Japan-centric than ever, but now she has refined and embellished those elongated ruffled skirts and draped tops, with brocade patchworks and floral detonations, giving them a distinctive Marni joie-de-vivre.

It began quietly enough, with elongated silhouettes, slightly raised waists and shin grazing hems cut from taupe linens and cream calicos reminiscent of toiles - not a bad metaphor for a collection that will need some tweaking before it works for most women.

That tweaking began on the catwalk. Sure some of those endless sleeves and the fin constructions on the skirts, with their sprays of pleated cotton, will be tricky to wear, but there was so much here to intrigue and delight the fashion customer.

For one thing, the toile-a-likes reappeared later in sweeps of Kelly green and cerulean blue or leaf-print silks and lemon brocades. For another, the Marni trouser is wider, more dramatic than before, with a paper-bag waistband. Just add a t-shirt and a pair of Marni's trainer-sandals and that's next summer's uniform sorted.

It wasn't only the shoes that will be editorial and commercial cat-nip. All the accessories were as strong as we've seen anywhere: woven and silk drawstrings and flower print totes ready-made for Instagram, and necklaces recast in sculptural metals and trimmed with silk flowers.

If you're wondering about all the flowers: Marni also launched its own (temporary) flower market in Milan today. There can't be many nicer ways to celebrate a 20th birthday. Flowers are never out of date, especially when they're run through a computer and magnified.

The suit got a work-out too: reborn as a twisty boat-neck tunic, tied at the waist with twine, and worn withy drape-y tunic tops that looked anything but corporate. The best was an evening tunic and skirt composed of a patchwork of silver studs, discs and black flowers - mixed with calico. Of course.

Right Color Combination for Your Wedding

As we enter season 2014 everyone’s minds are back on the wedding scene, this month alone I have attended 4 wedding fairs and there’s plenty of exciting things to see this year.When you decide on the color combination,you should also need to condider the color of your wedding dress. One of the most exciting trends this year is the focus on color alone and how to make clever use of color through exciting combinations. Out with cheesy gimmicks and just plain old color created through stunning flower bouquets and pretty fabric rags to create little handmade tassels, bunting and garlands. So here’s our list of exciting color combinations to consider for the year ahead.

Mustard & Teal

One of the brightest choices from our color combinations this combo will really suit a beach style wedding however it will look great at any venue. Be imaginative in how to use the colors and how much of each shade you use.

Coral & Fuchsia Pink

Another bright color combination and one, which has remained popular throughout 2013, for an update in 2014, add a touch of orange and an array of tonal pinks. If you don’t want your style to be too bright but love the colors, why not try a pop of color, such as bright heels or pretty flowers for your table decorations.


Dusty Grey & Pink
We love this combo and it’s perfect for more formal events and will look fabulous in spring with its pastel shades. This look needs to be kept minimal but it doesn’t mean you cannot play around with prints. Try using illustrative floral designs for your invitations or a flash of colour in your accessories.

Tones of Orchid Pink

As color of the year, it is no wonder that Orchid pink couldn’t escape our top list of combos, however this combo is more subtle than the others by using shades and tints of this magnificent color, along with a hint of cream. Obviously when it comes to the table decorations and bouquets nothing will look better than actual orchids.

Mint Green & Ivory

Forget all last seasons mint color combos, this year there is only one to consider and this is it! This year we are looking for much cleaner fresher styles, so keep all other colors to a minimum and let mint take all the glory. Mix it up with ivory rather than white and add a flash of gold for something extra special.

Blush Pink & Sage


Blush pink is set to be big this year on it’s own, however if you do wish to add another color to the look, try a touch of sage and even gold. We love the use of soft organza and chiffon and pretty rose and peonies into your styling.
