8 ED'S WORLD Elsa Schiaparelli express YOURSELF Women who inspire me with their modern yet classic (and daring) take on fashion: Phoebe Philo: for affording women relevant clothes and wardrobe heroes that hone our individual style Yasmin Sewell: for her take on billowing shapes, floor-sweeping skirts, mannish blazers and dressed-up denim staples Sofia Coppola: for her effortless chic in understated white shirts and the simplest of dresses Filtering the new season s looks, I opt for the free-moving style of sporty shapes by teaming a luxe quilted Adidas jacket with a vintage pleated skirt CELINE I n her review of the Spring/Summer 2014 trends, ELLE Collections editor Rebecca Lowthorpe remarked that the standout shows were the ones that radiated female empowerment and where designers were presenting clothes that allow us to be the best versions of ourselves. The challenge: to rip the rule book and make a bold statement about who you are, or who you want to be This somehow reminded me of Elsa Schiaparelli, the outspoken and very innovative Italian designer who was also known for breaking the rules. In her autobiography, Shocking Life, she concludes with her 12 Commandments for Women, ELLE INBOX a list of guidelines she gleaned { highlight } from her career. Two of these mandates have always interested ELLE asked: What does me and indirectly prompted me Women s Day mean to you? to have a more liberated viewpoint. They are: Since most 'Remembering just how women do not know themselves, far women have come and they should try to do so and how we are all bonded by Ninety percent are afraid of sisterhood and courage. Girl being conspicuous, and of what power truly rocks! people will say. So they buy a grey suit. They should dare to be different. Both are strong and provocative sentiments that challenge us to not succumb to fashion as the dictating force but rather to embrace our personal appearance and confidence in our relationship with clothes. Feeling good about who we are and how we want the world to see us is the essence of an empowered expression and certainly a rule I wish to live by.

16 T R E N D GET IN THE MOOD August being our iconic issue has naturally taken us back to the basics. It s a perfect opportunity to remember the icons of fashion not only the people who made our fashion favourites famous, but also a tribute to those pieces today. With the season very slowly reaching its bow out, try sticking to what you could see yourself wearing with confidence moving forward and to not turn your back on the classics in the process (if anything, invest in some it s never too late). The great thing about fashion today is that there is no right or wrong, but instead, thoughtful and considered ways of dressing; besides when you keep things simple, there s plenty room for the basics and newcomers to work together, no matter what the weather. 1 I will say farewell to anything tight for a no-fuss capsule wardrobe Tip: Go for loose fitting, easy-towear separates Style Solutions Need a little encouragement when you spot a season change in the shops?

Get inspired by SS14 s interpretations of our favourite iconic looks.co.za Go to ELLE.co.za to see celebrities wearing iconic looks AZROUËL ROCHAS TWISTED TO PERFECTION VALLI CAROLINA HERRERA The classic French twist exudes elegance, and carries iconic value like no other. Hair on the catwalks however spoke a very different language: we love the casually dishevelled hair twists seen at Tom Ford, Rochas and Giambattista Valli. The key to the updated twist? A centre part and the artful but seemingly incidental way of twisting and pinning the hair at the nape of the neck. ERDEM VALLI ALTUZARRA UNABASHEDLY ROUGE The power of a fabulous red lip remains a woman s favourite, and one of the most dramatic beauty looks. At Altuzarra, Tom Pecheux s description was The red lip gets an edgy feel against a white eye making it more cool. The strength of a matte red lies in its intensity and opacity contrasted with the rest of the face. A wash of white or nude over the whole eye, and dramatic highlights and a marked lack of cheek colour make the saturated red pigment seem to lift off the face.
