Dylan Penn in Karen Millen’s ‘No More Tiaras’ Campaign

image002-5Dylan Penn, actress and daughter of Sean Penn and Robin Wright, is starring in Karen Millen’s short film ‘No More Tiaras’. To celebrate the opening of their new flagship stores on London’s Brompton Road and New York’s 5th Avenue they collaborated with emerging talent from both sides of the pond to bring you this short film.

With 13 US stores and a highly successful partnership with Bloomingdales in 15 locations with a further 5 scheduled to open in 2014/15, the brand’s US business continues to grow. International expansion also continues with further planned openings in Canada, Norway, India and Taipei for 2014.

The film is a fun, engaging and affectionate look at the brands evolution into the international accessible luxury house it has become today. You can watch the short film below.

The Evolution of Karen Millen

The Karen Millen collection has evolved over the past few years to offer a luxurious high low mix of perfectly cut trend-led pieces and seasonal wardrobe staples including their iconic biker jacket. For the SS14 season the essence is the same, but the attitude has changed: Karen Millen is confident but smiling, strong but easy and this fresh spirit is encapsulated in their new SS14 collection. Every piece is designed, cut and finished in the brand’s design studio based in Shoreditch, London, ensuring that Karen Millen continues to stand for exceptional quality, craftsmanship and cutting edge design.

Karen Millen’s new mini film stars Dylan Penn who is fast becoming the fashion wolrd’s biggest girl crush

She is making a name for herself because of her acting and fashion credentials. As well as landing a Vogue spread alongside Kendall Jenner this week, she also working it in Karen Millen’s just released ‘No More Tiaras’ campaign. She acts alongside gorgeous ladies of the modelling, arts and acting worlds-Langley Fox Hemingway, Stephanie La Cava, and Adwoa Aboah.

In the mini fashion film, the girls play beauty queens from the US and UK competing in the ‘Miss Galaxy Beauty Pageant 2014’. But it’s clear, that from the opening scene, the ladies don’t want to play fair. This movie sees them take over the show with plenty of attitude in their covetable Karen Millen outfits.

Karen Millen | SS14 Phase Two

Hey guys,

So this is part two of Karen Millen’s SS14 lookbook. It’s all about being in control yet with an edge as well as femininity.

Their summer lookbook has all the key looks for this season and you will not be disappointed. From sports luxe to denim to feminine silhouettes. Karen Millen has it all for this season. The mood for this SS14 is relaxed and lighter which you can see in their lookbook. Silhouettes have a renewed sense of ease, with relaxed fits and looser-cut tailoring. Their lookbook shows only simple separates to special items that have gorgeous embroidered cut work.

However their muse is also sensual. She is empowered but feminine and she want to show this in her clothes. Inspired by a vintage Victorian cape their designers wanted to reproduce it’s exquisite three-dimensional surface on slim, simple dresses, curvy skirts, a mini jacket and devore shirts. The effect it creates is graphically strong but pretty.

This is their Power Pretty – strong simple shapes that are beautifully decorated, be it with neon blooms or ivory lace. Relaxed, easy separates that are, quite simply, a cut above.

image009-2 image004-3 image011-1 image010-2I am in love with their new collection and everytime I go to Brown Thomas in Limerick I just have to go up to the clothes and admire it (I know I sound creepy but hey…I love their collection this season) What is you opinion? I would love to know!

Saint Laurent A/W ’14-’15

Saint Laurent this time reminded me of little red riding hood if she were completely out of her mind on drugs as well as with an air of rock and roll. I am still drawn to all of his gorgeous pieces even though I’m very much opposed to anything to do with that sort of thing. But the rock and roll chick in me really is drawn to that raw, edgy, glam vibe he brings out in his clothes. Let me know what you think.
