Chances are before you read this right now, you saw the face above and wondered who is this old man? well this old man is the Owner of the most banking Fashion company for two consecutive years. Owner of the LMVH (Louise Vuitton Moet Hennessy) group Bernard Arnault has a net worth that had me re-checking the currency over and over again cause i just couldn’t believe and thought my eye problem had progressed to an even severe stage( its bad enough already, cant be competing to get triple lenses). Read below

with a net worth valued at an impressive $ 41 billion. Having this wealth, the LVMH mogul is also the richest men in Europe.

On the second place among the richest men in the fashion industry is the founder of Zara, Armancio Ortega (on the 5th place among the richest people in the world), with $ 37.5 billion. The other places are occupied by the following:

3. Stefan Persson, owner of H&M – $ 26 billion

4. Francois Pinault, owner of PPR – a conglomerate of luxury brands among which Gucci, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent – $ 13 billion

5. Galen Weston and family, owner of Selfridges – $ 7.6 billion

6. Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, owner of Chanel – $ 7.5 billion

7. Giorgio Armani, Armani founder – $ 7.2 billion

8. Miuccia Prada, Prada holder – $ 6.8 billion

9. Philip and Christina Green, Top Shop owners, $ 4.2 billion

10. Patrizio Bertelli, Prada’s CEO – $ 3.7 billion

Not only did i learn that Dior, Louise Vuitton, Moët & Chandon and Hennessy fall under the same company but also that the most grossing companies are those that are mainstream, Zara and H&M among others. only makes sense since they are scattered all around the globe.

 Alexander Wang Rayon Jersey Poly Satin Drape Tee from his Resort collection, i absolutely love the simplicity and surprising element. reminds me of the back cut out blazer in white seen on the streets during fashion week

Chic. love the simplicity of the looks

i dont know why but i have always liked Cassie, maybe its how she just always seems so calm, i remember even when her Nude photos surfaced on the net she seemed so calm in them(yes i did look), a feature i wish i had.

here she wears latest season Givenchy pre-fall 2012 and its just so gangster.

have you ever seen a guy that looks like a red indian and a horse at the same time? well its probarbly all in the hair and the very structured strong face, whatever it is it really turns me on. Willy Cartier features in the latest Editorial for Bullett Magazine styled by Jullianne.

does it make sense if i say my favourite cape town streetyle blog if theres actually no other to select from than cinder & skylark? well anyway i was most impressed this past week when i visited the blog and so really nice looks i saw myself in.

interesting with this guy is that i have seen so many pantsula guys do this baggy-ish chino and flats but he looks so good and i think its all in the hair.

love his hair!

you can see the rest of the photos and more HERE.

Doutzen Kroes covers the vogue Paris April issue, she looks amazing- i recall a time when she was borderline fat(for a high fashion model) during a victoria’s secret show and i just couldnt understand how she made it in the show. her face now is very structured - defined jawline and her body is on a ten in this sequin look.

i need something sequined!

this beautiful chunky neck piece can be found at a Sass Diva stores all around.

ALWAYS loved sunglasses, i remember in high i even changed from prescription spectacles to contact lenses just so i could wear suglasses, but i always felt like people starred more when i wore sunglasses so id just buy them and not wear them. however this has since changed over the last couple of weeks and i think these Karen Walker sunglasses are just special. i need to visit my favourite sunglass store- spitfire very soon now.

spitfire has something similar to these above but they are tinted green instead of purple for R90.

these remind me of my knock-off H&M vs Lanvin wayshiners which have become very dear to me (leave the judging to God, the real ones which i wouldnt have bought anyway where sold out in less than 2 hrs of release).

this reminds me, i saw really ugly fake PRADA Baroque sunglassses at those 5 rand stores for 18rand. i couldnt believe how quick Asians are!

I hate his shoes!

As i wait til my friend buys this magazine, i will say i absolutely love this cover. we rarely get to see Drake all dressed up and preppy and he really looks fine with the tailored suits n pointy(blerg) shoes. theres really no need for me to say hes aesthetically appealing when the photo below houses these words, spells jock (with a pout much?) but theres nothing wrong with that right?

in the interview he talks about his dad and their relationship, fame and all the girls (that thick nasty girl in the practice video comes to mind when i think girls and drake *sputters*) and how rap has changed over the years. you can read it here.

These rings are everything and so is the collection which consisted of 3 concepts that explained the entire collection.

love the leather pockets on the shirt.

Love the t shirt the guy is wearing. and if you happen to like the neck piece more than the t shirt you will be happy to know that the exact same one can be found at Mr Price.  anyway i have always had this question- so what happens if another jewellery designer designs the exact same design as you? anyway google will find me this answer.

this is actually a Swatch ad and i feel that whats being advertised is a little bit overshadowed by the nice clothes featured in the ad, anyway swatch has teamed up with style Magazines to find the most ” inspirational and stylish street ever” . its a global competition and i am trying to think of a street that fits what they seek in Cape town but it isnt happening.

more of Cape Town still to be experienced by me clearly, you can check out the swatch from the streets El Borno video HERE.

the Jill Sander bag made out python skin, its of the finest taste and would be lovely to own but i really dont know how i would carry it, i am struggling to even imagine holding it cause the handles are so short- basically i cannot carry it on my shoulder. summing it up though i cant afford it anyway, so let me not ruin it for those of you who can.

Been wanting to try this look out for quite sometime now but the hot weather here just would not let me. and it would just look really weird wearing such colourful songs with my pants rolled up (not really, just excuses). was particularly inspired by the photo below of the man wearing the Prada wingtip espadrilles (which i LOVE very much, may i just say). the use of colour in this outfit is amazing, id love to frame this photo but the quality is really not the one.

fall is almost here though, so if you feel like trying yourself out, you can head out to Woolworths and buy yourself some stocks. i got my neons from Mr price in a pack of 5 three months ago. incredible enough the quality was really good!
