Felder Felder Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection
This has got to be a collection for women who are looking for some attention. Duo
designers Daniela and Annette Felder may be identical twins, but you won’t bump
into your ‘twin’ wearing one of their designs.
The designers had their models strut down the catwalk in goat’s hair sewn on pieces
of garments.
Hand-dyed in rich deep colours and attached to shoulders or bangles, a nice way to
add some glamour.
The most refreshing colour seen in this collection has got to be midnight blue. It was
seen on the garments as well as the models lips, an eye-catching colour which
almost distracted me from the clothes.
Luckily it wasn’t for long thanks to the mix of graphic prints that came down the
runway. In swirls of light pink and black on flowing silk dresses, you could see that
the designers wanted to bring out the feminine side of the Felder Felder women.
Although, seeing those prints on flowing fabrics gave me a sense of déjà vu. It was in
fact, a similar style to another brand that showcased their collection on the same
day at London fashion week - Aminaka Wilmont. Looks like, designers are taking a
liking with this style.
However, the new idea this season for the Felder sisters was that floral crystal-
embroidery, which was seen on most of the dresses. The crystals were stitched on to
create the petals of a sunflower.
Elsewhere, trousers were skinny and tight, while skirts were in A-line shapes, some
of which were in silver leather. That’s correct; I did say this collection is only for the
brave!
With the show itself I did find something slightly bizarre, a few models didn’t walk
all the way down to the end of the catwalk, but instead they walked halfway then

This technology claims to give you long lasting colour up to 24 hours. But, is this
really the case or is it just another marketing slogan?
We have heard all kinds of slogans before; long lasting, smudge proof, ten times
more volume. But how many actually live up to their promises? The last thing we
want is to look like the joker from Batman. Could Revlon’s ultimate liquid lipstick
be the answer?
First the packaging, when you first clasp your eyes on the rectangular shaped see-
through bottle, you can’t help but become attracted. It looks so classy and is very
similar to Victoria Secret’s lipgloss from their VS Makeup range.
Next it’s the product itself, you will notice that you get a lot of liquid on the
applicator upon opening as it hasn’t got a built-in excess wiper. So this will
eventually leave you with liquid all around the entrance.
However, it does live up to its promises. The lipstick is food-proof, doesn’t fade, no
touch-ups required, and lasts up to 12 hours…could be longer than that but I need
my beauty sleep!
In fact, I should add another one – water resistant. I tried to remove it with water
but it wouldn’t budge. Yet, it glides off easily with oil-based make-up remover.
This colorstay technology is incredibly clever. I left my mark on a good few empty
cups of coffee, yet my lips were still bright as a red tomato. I could’ve easily gotten
away with the simple “they’re not mine”, just so I didn’t need to wash up!
Overall, the claims aren’t just marketing slogans for this product. The lipstick goes
on moist then dries in a few moments. The negative thing I would say is, the
moment it dries that’s it, no turning back! So this means well prepped lips are

essential, otherwise any dry patches will show up. If you’re not the lip scrubbing
type, then this isn’t for you.
