Adult Floaties? They’re Happening at Australian Fashion Week
A number of eclectic — and questionable — pieces and trends have emerged from fashion weeks around the world over the years. Some of the most recent looks from a swim show during Australian Fashion Week certainly stood out because of an unusual accessory that was featured on the runway. Arm floaties were one designer’s accessory of choice during Australian Fashion Week.
StyleElise SoléRunway Crocs Are Finally for Sale, and They Cost Nearly $400
Crocs, possibly the most controversial shoes ever, have gotten a stylish upgrade — so much so that you can buy them for almost $400. In September, Scottish fashion designer Christopher Kane collaborated with the brand, adorning the former boat shoes with colorful, sparkly gemstones. During his spring 2017 collection, which debuted during London Fashion Week, models walked the runway in the bejeweled and fur-lined upgrades — and did we mention they’re now on sale for $375 a pair?

Nicki Minaj's boob-baring Paris Fashion Week look was inspired by Picasso, not Lil' Kim
Nicki Minaj was certainly the centre of attention at the Haider Ackermann Paris Fashion Week show on Saturday. The ‘Anaconda’ rapper opted to rock up to the event with one boob hanging out, in half a Mugler jacket and a metallic Agent Provocateaur pastie covering her nipple. The look immediately drew comparisons to Lil’ Kim’s iconic 1999 MTV Video Music Award outfit, which controversially boasted virtually an identical, and exposing, design. We all know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, however Lil’ Kim was reportedly not happy about Nicki stealing her look.

We need to talk about Bella Hadid's Paris style
Bella Hadid is walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week for some of the biggest designers in the world. And, as is tradition, the 20-year-old model seems to be turning the city into her own personal catwalk, debuting some questionable looks as she makes around the City of Lights. It’s been a tough go for the newly single model. Her recent breakup with Canadian musician, The Weeknd, has made headlines after the “Starboy” singer quickly and very publicly, moved on with pop star, Selena Gomez. Although we don’t feel too bad for the famous model and a member of the most genetically gifted family in the world, could this be an over-correction to her newly single status? Is this the supermodel equivalent of getting a new hair-cut post break-up and hitting the gym? Whatever is going on, one thing’s for sure: Bella wants all of the attention, and she will wear literally anything to get it. Click through the slideshow to see what she’s been wearing in Paris, and let us know what you think by tweeting @ YahooStyleCA .

A Model Walked Down the Runway Wearing a Bag on Her Head
John Galliano strikes again with one of his strangest runway shows yet — that just so happens to be one of the most memorable moments of Paris Fashion Week so far. For the designer’s Maison Margiela Fall/Winter 2017 show, he had a model walk with an oversized, furry black bag over her head. Not only was the fluffy head accessory not accompanied by a voluminous, Marie Antoinette-esque gown, the complementing look included a mere skin-tight nude tank top and blue jeans. The collection showed significant similarities to Galliano’s earlier Maison Margiela Couture show in January which featured an array of garments that included geometric cut outs and loose, colored threads dangling from coat collars to its buttons.
StyleDora Fung6 Need-to-Know Trends from Milan Fashion Week
Three cities down and on to Paris we go! After five days of shows and presentations in Milan it’s time to say arrivedecci — but first, a look at the trends that defined the week. Milan has always felt a little stuck in a time warp and mainly because of their classic craftsmanship and the quality of the goods they produce but this time, I am talking about Milanese’s taste in music. The music at so many shows was a straight up throw back to the 80s, from The Cure “Friday I’m in love” at Alberta Ferretti, Pat Benatar’s “We are Young” at No.21, Tiffany’s “I think we’re alone now” at Attico, to Patsy Kensit’s “I’m not scared” at Blumarine, Milan has been all about the throw back rather than the future.

When Dolce & Gabbana puts on a show, it doesn’t happen by halves! If you are an influencer, “it” girl, blogger, or the offspring of a housewife or actress and did not walk the Dolce & Gabbana show on Sunday in Milan, then I’m afraid you are not that major.
StyleFaran KrentcilThe Devil Wears Crocheted Bikini Tops
Hailey Baldwin didn’t walk today’s Prada show, but her influence was still weirdly felt on the runway. That’s because 10 models wore crocheted bikinis during today’s show, evoking Baldwin’s infamous swimsuit shots with Justin Bieber. Of course, knit swimwear isn’t just clickbait — it’s a classic ’70s style that riffs on rock festivals and beach communes. But thanks to Instagram’s steady takeover of the human psyche, it’s where our minds immediately zoomed. Alas, these tops are for fall 2017, which means you might not be able to get them until the tail end of beach season in August. ...

StyleLauren SharkeyPrincess Diana used to attend London Fashion Week, so why doesn't the Duchess of Cambridge?
Kate has quickly risen to become a British style icon, favouring flattering designs from the likes of Erdem and Preen. This isn’t a usual for the royal family. Cast your mind back to the 1940s and the days of Christian Dior’s cosy relationship with the British monarchy. The Parisian designer’s New Look and theatrical shows were so well-loved by the Queen that she arranged a private appointment for several members of the royal family at The Savoy.
