Georgia O’Keefe

Don’t miss Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern on now at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition celebrates the life, style and iconic artworks by the woman considered the mother of American modernism and one of our most staunch feminists.  Known for her penchant for wearing black, printed headscarves and refusal to confirm to a fashion ideal, O’Keefe’s legacy continues to influence the fashion and art world - perhaps it’s the artists’s signature enlarged flower paintings that have sparked fashion’s current love affair for floralmania.

Check out the Georgia O’Keefe Exhibition until 23 July

The New Bob

 The New Bob

It’s non-stop A-list glamour on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and at MLD we’re loving that the classic bob has stepped into the spotlight thanks to model of the moment Bella Hadid’s new look. Also showcasing a chic chin-length crop is felllow supermodel Hailey Baldwin and beautiful French actress Marion Cotillard. The best bit about today’s bob is you can wear it super sleek (hello flat iron), sexy and textured (just add serum) or show off vintage style curls or waves.  “The bob never goes out of style because it looks great on women of all ages, hair colors and textures.  Right now you can give it a modern update with different styling techniques including messy up-do’s,” says Marie-Lou & D Creative Director Leon Gorman.
