Today, I want to share with you something very special. For the first time, you can enjoy a catwalk show at 10.000 meters being on route to New York Fashion Week with Lufthansa on February 8, 2017 on board a Boeing 747-8.
Up in the air, New York based fashion designer Rubin Singer, who began his career at Oscar de la Renta, is offering a preview of his women’s collection before the actual fashion show in the Big Apple. And the best is… on a catwalk high above the Atlantic Ocean.
Moreover, air hostesses’ uniforms are also influenced by fashion trends. Therefore, in another fashion show the Lufthansa crew will model the looks of the past 60 years. And in tune with this retrospective, the jumbo jet has had a 70s-style facelift. Every passenger on flight LH 400 from Frankfurt/Main to New York on 8 February 2017 is invited to take part in this unique event – irrespective of booking class.
I am loving it! What a great idea!

Get the look: Pineapple-print ruffled cotton-poplin dress, Sicily medium pineapple-print leather tote, pineapple earrings and Keira sandals with pineapple heels, all by Dolce & Gabbana.

“We feel it’s inevitable and crucial to create contemporary clothing,” says Demna Gvasalia, the Creative Director of Paris design collective Vetements.
The Maison Margiela alumni elevates deceptively simple pieces with meticulous construction, considered fabrics and playful proportions. For Vetements’ S/S 2017 collection, he put up a show that was entirely made up of collaborations with well-known brands from Manolo Blahnik to Levi’s, Juicy Couture, Carhartt, Reebok, Canada Goose, Mackintosh and Dr. Martens among others.
My favorite of the collaborations was the revival of Juicy Couture. Instead of recreating the brand’s famous velour and terry tracksuits, Demna Gvasalia gave them a modern update as second skin tops and trousers in electric colors with “Juicy Couture” written down the arms and across the bum in crystals.
Cotton-blend velour top and embellished cotton-blend velour track pants
The to-die-for maxi skirt reveals a thigh-skimming split and is lined with internal briefs. It’s made from glossy black velour inspired by Juicy Couture’s iconic tracksuits…

A real show-stopper! This black jumpsuit is made from cotton-blend velour in a one-shoulder, wide-leg silhouette. It works best with minimal accessories.
