Before saying goodbye to 2012, the year of the Diamond Jubilee, London’s 2012 Olympics and generally the year that celebrates true British Heritage lets look back and remember some of the greatest fashion moments of this year ♥
January – Mila Kunis kicks starts the year of style by being announced as the new face of Dior. Then it’s baby news for Beyonce, as she announced the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy. Sticking with the baby trend, Alessandra Ambrosio takes to the catwalk showing off her baby bump ♥
February – London Fashion Week is always this month and a great start to the year of British Heritage and style and a perfect time for Jenny Packham to announce a collaboration with Debenhams. Singer Adele, brings us more pride by winning six grammys!
March – During Paris Fashion Week, the Louis Vuitton Steam train is shown which gets everyone talking. Stella McCartney reveals the Team GB Kit and founder of Fashion East, Lulu Kennedy receives an MBE for her contribution to the fashion industry.
April – Great news for baby stylistas! Heidi Klum announces a collaboration with Toys R Us named ‘Truly Scrumptious’ and of course the annual Vogue Festival ♥
May – The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most awaited events every year just to see the red carpet dresses and this year the stars did not disappoint. This year it was a sea of fishtails, with ruffles, feathers and florals and this was not only at Cannes…remember Beyonce’s Givenchy dress at the Met Ball?? May I just add, not even six months since giving birth!
June – It may have been The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations but Kate Moss was going for gold, on the front cover of Vogue, along with the rest of the Nation gearing up for the Olympics. The Jubilee concert bought together some big names in music and showing off some great fashion moments ♥
July – As well as Stella McCartney’s Team GB kit being put to good use the Queen jumps out of a plane in a remarkable stunt for the Olympics opening ceremony, I don’t think anyone will be forgetting that peach outfit in a hurry!
August – Victoria’s Secret finally opens their flagship store on Bond Street ♥
The Spice Girls reunite for a performance at the Olympics closing ceremony and if that’s not enough excitement Britain’s supermodels come alive from huge billboards in a tribute to British Fashion all in gold dresses…wow ♥
September – Anne Hathaway gets married in that gorgeous fairy-tale Valentino gown. Tom Ford opens his first luxury accessories shop in Harrods and Paris Fashion Week begins, need I say more?
October – As well as tickled pink month which homes some great designer collaborations, Secret Style File launches this blog! Chanel’s most talked about accessory, the hoop bag is shown at Paris Fashion Week which continues into this month.
November – Disney Princesses get modern day designs for the Harrods windows, Martin Margiela for H&M launches, Pudsey Bear also gets a modern day fashion makeover, Valentino launches an exquisite exhibition at Sommerset House and then there’s the awards!
The Drapers Awards and The British Fashion Awards both took place in November, giving outstanding achievements and recognition to Stella McCartney and Manolo Blahnik.
December – In fashion there is no such thing as winding down, it’s all about gearing up for next season, grabbing a bargain in the sales, styling up for Christmas and feeling that New Year sparkle! As well seeing all the Christmas windows, launching some great Christmas campaigns (ahem Barney’s Electric Holiday and Topshop!) and getting into the festive spirit, December also brings us the Spice Girls musical, Viva Forever.
2012 has been a great year in Fashion, especially for Stella McCartney who has not only been named Brand and Designer of the Year at The British Fashion Awards but she was also awarded an OBE in the New Years Honours List…bravo! ♥
So, that’s 2012 in a snapshot! Which jut leaves me to say Happy New Year from Secret Style File, before the clock strikes 12 and the fireworks start.
