When it comes to fashion, we are all inspired by what we see; whether it be a well-dressed celebrity, a blow-your-mind catwalk presentation or even a super stylish every-day passerby.
As fashion editors, we’re moved by all of the above, and then some. We’re exposed to under-the-radar labels; we get a first-hand look at collections months before they hit stores; we’re tapped into brands with chic-yet-cheap offerings and we shop a lot.
To share our knowledge, FEMAIL brings you Style Swoon, a weekly series of the latest, greatest and on the verge. This week’s roundup starts with the release of model of the moment Kaia Gerber’s Omega Watch campaign.
KAIA’S TIME TO SHINE
In the family: Following in her mother’s footsteps, Kaia Gerber has aligned herself with OMEGA watches. The 16-year-old is the new face of the De Ville Trésor ladies’ collection.
The perfect fit: ‘I love OMEGA, just because I grew up with it and I feel like I’ve always been surrounded by everyone there. We’ve been a family from since I can remember,’ said Kaia
Following in her supermodel mother Cindy Crawford’s footsteps, Kaia Gerber has aligned herself with OMEGA watches. The 16-year-old is the new face of the De Ville Trésor ladies’ collection.
She was officially welcomed into the brand at the ‘Her Time’ event during Paris Fashion Week in September 2017 and her black and white campaign images have just been released.
The stunning series was shot in Malibu Beach by acclaimed photographer Peter Lindbergh, who also worked with mom Cindy many times.
‘I’m really drawn to classic style and for me the Trésor has that vintage look, but with a cool, very modern twist. It’s a beautiful watch to look at and I love wearing it,’ said Kaia.
The new Trésor collection offers a classic design with a modern edge. Each timepiece is available in either 39 mm or 36 mm sizes, featuring diamond paving curves along the case and a single diamond is set within the crown.
The collection consists of nine different models, including cases made in stainless steel or 18K Sedna™ gold, straps in fabric or leather, and seven different dial shades.
‘I love OMEGA, just because I grew up with it and I feel like I’ve always been surrounded by everyone there. We’ve been a family from since I can remember,’ shared the young star. The watches are available now, and cost upwards of $5,000.

The 33-year-old model donned a silk suit in a poppy print from Alejandra Alonso Rojas. And while her coordinated set was beautiful, her shoes really caught our attention.
She finished off her stylish look with TOD’S Gommino Driving Shoes from the Limited Edition Circus Collection with Anna Dello Russo.
Featuring lady eyes, glitter mouth decoration and crystal appliquès, these statement shoes have us wanting to join the circus! See the rest of the three-ring inspired styles below.

The capsule is tailored to women who want to pull off a upscale streetwear look.
‘I am essentially trying to emulate an early ’90s hip hop look with relaxed fit styles that evoke a “team” affiliation,’ said David.
‘The Olympic mesh track suit was a nod to the 1976 Olympics in Montreal.’ Being a Canada-based brand, ‘The design is a take on Team Canada’s Olympic past with their signature embroidered leaf and running man.’
HOT NEW COLOR
Out with the old: This week, ‘color authority’ Pantone announced Ultra Violet as the color of 2018.
Yesterday, ‘color authority’ Pantone announced Ultra Violet as the color of 2018. The bold hue replaces 2017’s Greenery, a zesty yellow-green shade.
‘PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet communicates originality, ingenuity, and visionary thinking that points us toward the future,’ is what Pantone said about it’s selected color.
‘The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much more than what’s trending in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today,’ said Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.
