From THE EDITOR
“In this issue, we obsess over Jennifer Lopez and her
phenomenal style that only seems to get better with time,
and also show you how to copy one of Gigi Hadid’s most
dazzling looks to date.
We also get serious about ethical fashion, showing you some
of the biggest names in the biz that have gone down the
sustainable, ethical, and even 100% vegan route. You might
be surprised by what you discover...
There are lots of other surprises in store for this issue,
including a covetable edit of wonderful winter florals, as well
as luscious lace pieces that are never- and we repeat, never- “going to go out of style.” Myles Mellor

MRKhoory.com MRKhoory 20 Nina Ricci lace top body We don’t know how we used to live without bodysuits. Bodysuits are one of the most intelligent and functional pieces of clothing a woman can own, especially when it comes to matching with tight fitted pencil skirts or trousers. Gone are the days of constantly Get worrying your top is going to ride up at any given moment, or worse still, leave you with less than flattering lumps and bumps in all the wrong places. Shudder. But we thankfully don’t have to worry about that with bodysuits, as they always guarantee a seamless silhouette every single time. Gigi’s Nina Ricci body works perfectly with her skirt, not just because of the fit, but because of the added texture and romanticism it brings to the look too.

Although we love each and every piece of the collection (trust us, it isn’t hard – have you SEEN the swatches?) we can’t go any further without mentioning the true stand-out piece, the piece that has The occupied many of our dreams and daydreams since we first laid eyes on it. And whether you’re a beauty aficionado, a huge VB fan, or a collector of all things luxurious and highly sought after, then you’re going to want to get your hands on it pronto. We are referring Victoria to the delectable limited edition Lit Beauty Box, of Beckham course.

It’s dramatic signed note from Victoria Beckham herself. And if and may be slightly controversial but we’re going to say it: Victoria that isn’t the same – or even better – than the magic La Beckham x Estée Lauder take two might just be even better than the Mer’s cream possesses, then we may have to re-evaluate first collection.
24 25 you to go unnoticed. The eye palette is undoubtedly going to be a big hit with partygoers everywhere, as it features some of the most dramatic and seductive shades in existence. You too can now create a deep smoky eye with a new-season-approved layer of shine to boot. And speaking of shine, we’re delighted that the eye foils are back for round two, as they were the undeniable highlights (no pun intended) of the debut collection. The eye foil covers the lid and provides unrivalled shine – perfect to use alongside complementary shadows or on its own, although our beauty tip is to use a make-up brush and sweep some product across the lid before adding your shadow to make it pop like never before. Buy and try now, thank us later. If you’re on the quest for even more shine, then the Aura Gloss is also something you’re going to want to stock up on.

30 31 Want to keep out the cold but don’t want to give up on feminine lines and bold summer colours? Well with this Pringle of Scotland dress, you don’t have to do either! Hold on to summer by keeping the bold and bright colours close, and always stay one step ahead of the cold weather by adding length in all possible areas. You’ll be surprised how adding sleeves, a high neck and a low hem can keep out the chill but still give off a feminine and high fashion vibe. Not everyone can get away with it, but we trust Pringle of Scotland to do it right… and the brand certainly hasn’t let us down! WINTERflorals You may have lived your whole life believing that florals were synonymous with springtime. Of course you’re not wrong, but we want to open your eyes just a little, and let you know that while nature’s prettiest print will always have a place in springtime attire, florals are not strictly exclusive to that particular season. Au contraire, florals can be worn for every single one of the four seasons, and winter florals in particular are having a highly deserved moment right now. Getting into the winter florals mind-set is pretty easy, as it simply involves forgoing the typical light, pastel spring shades, and replacing them with bolder and deeper hues instead. There’s something quite empowering about wearing florals in winter – and dare we say slightly adventurous too, almost as if we are breaking the rules. Any style maven will tell you that the best part of fashion is being able to make your own rules – and that also includes breaking them – so we are totally on board with this unconventional trend. But don’t just take our word for it – all you need to do is cast your minds back to the autumn/winter 2017 collections to see a plethora of bewitching, beautiful blossoms parade down the catwalks. Giambattista Valli, Erdem, Isabel Marant, Emilia Wickstead, Prada and Miu Miu are just a few of the big names who went down the winter floral route last season, and luckily for us and all other winter floral lovers (we hope that includes all risk-taking First Avenue readers) the rest of the world has followed suit. There are hundreds of floral pieces available to buy and wear right now, which is what makes this trend so wonderfully exciting. Luckily (if you never want to put your beachwear away and want that yearlong glow) or unluckily (if you want to explore all the warm winter wardrobe options out there) we don’t see that much of a drop in temperatures, which means we can’t always break out some of the lavish and luxurious winter pieces that some of the world’s biggest designers debut on the runways. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t get into the winter florals game, as there are still many designs out there that cater to Dubai’s scorching year-round temperatures while still maintaining the winter florals theme. And of course, we know we aren’t the only ones who like to pack our bags several times a year and jet off to different destinations with far lower temperatures, which is why we are looking at winter floral pieces to cater to every single temperature life throws at us. We also wouldn’t rule out heading to the other side of the world just to break out some truly winter-ready pieces. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time… Pringle of Scotland floral print turtle neck maxi dress, £2,485 available at Selfridges
32 33 The first piece of footwear that comes into our heads when there’s even the slightest chill in the air is the ankle boot. We will find any excuse to step out This skirt is all the proof you need that florals can go down the dark Silk skirts in winter; and why not?! Here we have another enchanting in an ankle boot, and this fine specimen from Christian Louboutin is as gorgeous as ankle boots come.

You’ll be forgiven for dropping everything For something a little bit out of this world, look no further than be a crime not to turn up in this Gucci floral dress.

With not a single hint of spring floral clichés, this coat ticks into these over the knee boots by Joseph Altuzarra. If you too are when it comes to putting a fresh and unique spin on old classics, and is the show-stopping piece for you. The Gucci glasses are of course mesmerised by the print on these boots you may be interested to know all our “thinking outside the box” boxes. If there’s one item that’s going that’s exactly what he’s done here with the classic rose. We’re getting optional, but it would be a shame not to commit to the whole look that the print is inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites of the mid 1800s, a to change a winter floral sceptic’s mind, it’s going to be this coat. With bewitching fortune teller vibes from this dress, which is pretty exciting! when you’ve already come so far, are we right? This dress has virtually group of artists known for their unique take on romanticism and their its rich colours and bold print, who could possibly resist?!

38 Style crushing on… JENNIFERlopez
Are you sitting comfortably? Comfort isn’t mandatory, but we would seriously encourage sitting down, because what we’re about to tell you might shock you to the point of fainting. Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 48th birthday this year. Yes, that’s right, 48. Jenny from the Block is 48 years old – as in two years away from the big 5-0. Regardless of how many different ways we say it, or how many times, it’s quite difficult for us to process. All you need to do is look at our front cover or any picture on these pages to see why we are scratching our heads in confusion and disbelief that the woman staring back at us is not a fresh faced 20-something at the beginning of her career. J-Lo really is proof that age really is just a number. Her glowing face and goddess-like body that would make even a Victoria’s Secret Angel green with envy are just the beginning of our – and the rest of the world’s – resurrected obsession with her. Don’t get us wrong, we’ve always been huge fans of the actress and singer, but there’s something about her recent style choices that have made us pay more attention than ever before. Jennifer’s style is chicer, sexier and more on point than ever right now, which is why she has dominated red carpets around the world and topped global best dressed lists for every event she has graced with her presence. Let’s take a look at some (but most certainly not all!) of J-Lo’s greatest and latest red carpet
victories. Do you have a favourite?
40 41 2016 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards in Giambattista Valli
Canary yellow. We didn’t think anyone else could wear a canary yellow dress- or canary yellow anything if we’re being totally honest – without being reminiscent of Sesame Street’s very own Big Bird. Yet here Jennifer Lopez is, looking nothing short of breath-taking in her yellow Giambattista Valli creation. It’s clear that Jennifer was going for the sexy Hollywood screen siren look – and she certainly achieved what she set out to do. Chic and sophisticated with a vintage inspired edge, juxtaposed quite wonderfully with a thigh grazing slit. The seduction powers that Jennifer Lopez possesses never cease to amaze us. The hair complemented the outfit perfectly, as did the rest of the styling. We can’t take our eyes off the sparkly accompaniments either – including not one but two bedazzling necklaces and a chunky bracelet. Our inner magpies can’t help but squeal with delight!
Met Gala 2017 in Valentino
Valentino has dressed his fair share of style icons over the years for the annual Met Gala, but Jennifer Lopez walking the red carpet in his dreamy baby blue dress might just be one of his finest Met Gala moments of all time. And considering Jennifer Lopez is competing with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway, Lily Collins, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel McAdams (to name just a few) for the coveted top spot, it’s a pretty bold statement. But how can anyone not fall in love with this Jennifer Lopez look? This might be the least amount of bronzed, glowing skin she has ever exposed, which just goes to show that she doesn’t always need tricks like flashing the flesh to be glamorous and make heads turn with her beauty. 42 43 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Julien Macdonald
This is Jennifer Lopez doing what Jennifer Lopez does best – and that’s blowing everyone else out of the water the second she steps onto the red carpet. J-Lo unapologetically owned it in this breath-taking Julien Macdonald dress at the latest Latin Music Awards, throwing together everything that we love about her – and so much more! The silky, voluminous hair, the outfit which had strategically placed cuts and slits to show off her enviable body, the attention grabbing sparkles – Jennifer threw everything at this Latin Music awards Look. And we are more than grateful for it. Up and coming music newbies have a lot to learn from Jennifer Lopez – she is a music and style icon for a reason!
2017 Grammy Awards in Ralph & Russo Couture Spring 2017
We know that Jennifer Lopez has mastered the sexy, ultra glamorous look, as well as the chic and sophisticated high fashion look- and we certainly aren’t surprised to find that she has conquered the “pretty pink” look too. She may have worn a beautiful blush pink dress to the 2017 Grammy Awards, but she did it in the classic Jennifer Lopez way meaning it was anything but cute and girlie. Even with a giant bow on her shoulder! And we think that definitely had something to do with the low cut, peek a boo neckline, and of course that dangerously high slit that she is practically famous for. Add a slit to any outfit and you instantly have a Jennifer Lopez approved look. And when you have perfect pins like Jennifer Lopez does, you would be foolish not to show them off at any opportunity. 44 2017 People’s Choice Awards in Reem Acra
Once again proving that you don’t need to flash the flesh to make jaws drop, Jennifer Lopez attended the 2017 People’s Choice Awards in a seriously stunning Reem Acra gown. She didn’t need to have her skin exposed to show off her figure either, as the dress hugged every dream- like curve like it was designed especially for her. Talk about fitting like a glove! While her skin wasn’t on display, the same can’t be said for the sparkles. The intricate embellishment on the top half of Jennifer’s dress certainly didn’t go unnoticed – part of the reason we fell in love with this look as soon as we laid eyes on it. And the sparkle didn’t end there. It kept on going in the form of sparkly earrings, an abundance of intricately shaped rings, and an almost blinding clutch bag. Jennifer Lopez doesn’t do things by halves, in case you didn’t already know! Having her hair pinned back in an elegant up-do was the perfect accompaniment for a look with such heavy embellishment, while the statement smoky eye made sure everyone knew that Jennifer Lopez means seductive business. Easily one of the best dressed A-listers on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards.
2015 Vanity Fair Oscars After Party in Zuhair Murad Couture
This look is exactly what the Oscars red carpet is all about – and this was just the after party! Long gowns, voluminous silky manes, and more sparkle than you could ever dream of. Jennifer Lopez and a couture Zuhair Murad gown truly made magic! There have been a lot of “naked dresses” on the big red carpets over the past couple of years. Some people have got them wrong, we can’t lie. Some people on the other hand have got them right. Really right, even. And then there’s Jennifer Lopez, who essentially blew everyone else and their naked dress efforts out the water. Jennifer Lopez let her golden waves tumble down freely over the dress, which definitely complemented it and enhanced its appeal. Fairly subtle make up, complete with a matching nude lip and some drop earrings finished off her look in the best way possible. This might just be one of our favourite Jennifer Lopez red carpet looks of all time. 46 47 NBCUniversal Upfront at Radio City Music Hall in Elie Saab Like a fine wine, Jennifer Lopez seems to have got better (as well as DO YOU WANT hotter, and more stylish than ever!) with age. We’re going to begin with her hairdo. Buns are quite tricky to nail – ballerina buns have a A FEATURE-PACKED SUV WITH risk of looking too formal, and there’s a very fine line between what counts as a skilful messy bun or an actual just-rolled-out-of-bed-and- made-no-effort mess.

There was no way we were letting this outfit go unnoticed and unpraised. In October, Jennifer Lopez – along with Alex Rodriguez, FREE REGISTRATION* | SERVICE* | 5 YEARS/150K WARRANTY* | LLUMAR TINTING* and Marc Anthony – hosted ‘One Voice: Somos Live’, a live concert and telethon put on in order to raise money for the Puerto Rico disaster relief.

The voluminous skirt, complete with the boldest floral explosion, was definitely the highlight of the event RANGE RANGE for us.

Stella COMPASSION McCartney is probably one of the biggest ethical fashion brands out there, and the designer has always made a huge point of for promoting the fact that her designs are completely cruelty free. As they always have been since the brand first started almost 17 years ago! The lifelong vegetarian designer has made sure her award-winning brand has sworn off all leather goods – a potentially risky decision, but that doesn’t seem to have put a dent in the success or beauty of her lust-worthy pieces. Just look at them! As well as being a go-to designer for the A-listers’ red carpet events, Stella McCartney is a hot favourite amongst ethical shoppers and bloggers, as well as completely vegan shoppers, bloggers and FASHION social media influencers.

When ethical fashion looks as good as it feels, what’s not to love about it? Read on to see some of our favourite ethical fashion and beauty brands out there, and how many things on the ethical checklist they cover. From sustainably sourced to completely vegan and cruelty free, our list covers almost every range imaginable. Which ones are you going to add to your wardrobe and make-up bag?

Who hasn’t swung by H&M and walked away with several bags full of goodies every time they pay a visit to You didn’t expect to find Levi’s on this list, did you? While the Dubai Mall? While H&M boasts some of the biggest Levi’s don’t admit to being able to tick every single one new-season catwalk trends at extremely low and affordable of the ethical fashion boxes, the brand certainly goes prices, it also promises a whole lot more. The new H&M quite a few steps further than some of the industry’s Conscious Collection does exactly what it says on the tin leading denim suppliers. (Not naming any names!) Over (or any other recyclable material you want to insert here) the years, the brand has upped its game in terms of and provides us with sustainable fashion in a flash. A production, so anyone concerned with the environment prime example of fast fashion moving forward with more would be pleased to know that the new and improved eco-conscious offerings – 2018 is nearly here, after all!

52 53 Eylure Kat Von D Do you have an ongoing battle with your conscience every time you go shopping for new eyelashes? We can’t argue with the fact that false lashes have revolutionised the eye make-up game, making it almost impossible to go for a bold and dramatic eye without an instant faux lash enhancement. It’s no secret that – despite how they are made – real mink lashes are getting more and more popular thanks to their feathery and fluttery aesthetic that synthetic fibres can’t even come close to replicating. However, make up brands around the world have caught up with the need for ethical fashion, and as a result, have produced some pretty convincing eyelashes that are completely cruelty free. And eyelash giant Eylure is just one of them. We’ve tried and tested its range of Luxe As if we Lashes which have been created to mimic real mink, and can confirm needed another reason to that they are just as good as the real thing – better, in fact, because we obsess over Kat Von D. Forget Kylie Jenner and know that they’re entirely cruelty free! Eylure also insist that they don’t her infamous line of liquid lipsticks, because Kat Von D has test any of their lashes on animals, so we’ll be resting easy tonight and given us something far better as part of her newly launched vegan friendly every other night we go in the cruelty free lash direction. range. Kat Von D’s longwear matte liquid lipsticks are a game changer because they are 100% vegan, and also hydrate and moisturise the lips at the same time too. Two for the price of one! And don’t even get us started on the make-up brushes! Launched earlier this year with the “fur free artistry” motto, Kat Von D’s cruelty free make up brushes should be in every single make-up bag, as their superior quality makes them rival even the top selling make-up brushes that don’t have quite the same dedication to compassion and animal protection. “I’ve teamed up with my #KvDArtistryCollective artists to create the most effective brush formations, using the highest grade synthetic fibres that mimic the same product distribution you would get from animal- based bristles,” she wrote on her Instagram earlier this year, when the products were just about to launch. “We are living in amazing times right now where technology is making it so easy to make compassionate choices in the products we purchase, without having to exploit animals.” Well said! And she has certainly delivered, because the high grade synthetic fibres of her fur free brushes are truly superb quality, as clarified by top make-up artists and beauty aficionados around the world. As well as liquid lipsticks and out-of-this-world brushes, the vegan range includes a dreamy crème contour palette, an illuminating glitter eyeshadow palette, an impressive selection of foundations (liquid and powder, thank you very much) as well as lip liners, eyeliners, and even perfume. And that’s not even the whole collection! Check out the Kat Von D website and head straight to the Vegan range for the full awe-inspiring selection.
