We start this week with Saint Laurent brought the Rock 'n Roll Princess idea to life a with leather jackets, slim-fit suits, party girl skirts and leather dresses with asymmetrical cuts which Isabel Marant also took inspiration from going the Rock 'n Roll route focused on high-waist looks, pleated skirts, lush sweaters. Elsewhere Louis Vuitton decided the future was wearable with futuristic details like puffy sleeves or metallic fabrics along with Rick Owens who followed suite with a signature dark palette and edgy-meets-futuristic aesthetic.

Kenzo unveiled sporty anoraks and over sized blanket capes while Miu Miu had their turn in the spotlight with colorful, kitschy and retro inspired looks but Chanel opted for more skirts and tops with decorative sleeves. Creative director Alexander Wang took a sculptural approach with Balenciaga with Cocoon coats, bubble-shaped skirts and wrap around skirts while another creative director, John Galliano, with his new position at Maison Margiela created a Strange & Beautiful look.

ChloƩ saw the 70's mash with the 90's with a bohemian fall collection along with Maison Margiela featured heavy make up and 70's inspired coats. Lastly, Valentino delivered a monochrome black-and-white patterned collection but set the standard for Fashion Week stunts when it closed the show with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson playing their Zoolander characters Derek and Hansel much to the delight of the crowd.

Even with the world facing challenges in 2014 there was still time for beauty to lift the spirit.

Events


The world renowned Fall/Winter Fashion Weeks rolled into New York with everyone from Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren to Michael Kors and Calvin Klein. London Fashion Week had Tom Ford and Pam Hogg showing how it's done while Paris wasn't going to be outdone with Givenchy and more.

Later in the year New York kicked off the Spring/Summer Fashion Week with Rebecca Minkoff and Diane von Furstenburg to Derek Lam and Hugo Boss. London Fashion Week saw Mulberry, Topshop Unique and Marchesa show their wares while Paris took to the stage with Jean Paul Gaultier and Celine among others.

Elsewhere it was the sight of gorgeous amazonian beauties strutting the catwalk at the 2014 Victoria's Secret show that had heads turning in London for the first time. Still in Britain the British Fashion Awards celebrated British Beauties from designers to models.


Designers


Renowned designers dominated the fashion news with Jean Paul Gaultier ending his ready-to-rear line in a blaze of glory and John Galliano returning to the fashion world joining Maison Martin Margiela after his shameful exit in 2011 from Dior.

While some designers redefined their career's others left the fashion world with their legacy. The fashion world lost an icon when Oscar de la Renta passed away in October and in a tragic turn of events L'Wren Scott committed suicide in March.

What would the fashion world be without the rich and more importantly famous dressed to kill on the red carpet from the American Music Awards to the Emmys and the Billboard awards.

While some celebrities made news for their choice of attire others joined brands lending their considerable presence with Jennifer Lawrence with Dior to Julie Roberts and Givenchy campaigns even Maddona appeared in a Versace campaign.
