If you fancy a fascinator, check out the mad hatting frenzy that went down at yesterday's royal wedding.
Kate has been wearing them all around town and they are a British trend. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie donned toppers made by London millinerPhilip Treacy, a native of Ireland who also topped off other royal wedding guests such as:Victoria Beckham, Zara Phillips and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Big or small, feathered or floral, fascinators were all the rage at Kate and Wills' royal Nuptuals.
Time to discuss modern royalty. All I have to say is: WOW!
Kate (the Duchess of Cambridge) and Wills' wedding was a real life fairytale.
Kate wore a gorgeous gown by Sarah Burton, creative Director of British luxury brand Alexander McQueen. I found it very appropriate and appreciated that Kate paid homage to England by wearing a British designer's creation. I have to say however that the dress was soooooooo not McQueen style. Nothing about it said McQueen to me.
I love how Kate mixed old and new and represented a modern twist on the old royal look. The neckline was elegant. She looked very modest but in a glamorous way.
A nice length train (8 feet, 8 inches), not even comparable to Diana's though and a barely there veil.
I loved how Kate wore earrings given to her by her parents, the Middletons (something new) and something borrowed; the sparkly tiara (the Cartier Halo) was from 1936 and was loaned to her by Queen Elizabeth II.
My boos are for Kate's itsy bitsy bouquet. The flowers looked wilted and were lacking any decadence. I also wasn't a big fan of her hairstyle, the demi-chignon and loose curls were just okay for me. I was expecting something a bit more elaborate and special.
I was totally expecting Kate to wear this type of dress, which is not a bad thing. She looked beautiful and very elegant. Everything royalty should be.
And they lived happily ever after...
For those of you who didn't wake up at the crack of dawn (the early wake-up was so worth it), check out some highlights of the Royal Wedding.
It was announced yesterday that Salvatore Ferragamo presented its request to list its shares to the Italian stock exchange.
In a statement, Salvatore Ferragamo said that the coordinators for the deal will be Mediobanca Banca di Credito Finanziario SpA and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Mediobanca will also act as a sponsor for the operation.
In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires in February, Ferragamo's Chief Executive Michele Norsa dismissed reports of a possible listing in Hong Kong by the company and explained that Italy is key for Ferragamo.
Many of the big players in the luxury fashion industry seem to be making IPO headlines. We have Ferragamo and Moncler's request to list in Italy on one hand and, Prada's highly-anticipated listing, which is expected to list on the Hong Kong stock exchange. It has been said that Prada will list in Hong Kong in order to benefit from the purchasing power in China, and from a lack of directly competing stocks in Hong Kong.
