BODYAMR’s bold and beautiful show

Whether you consider his beautifully draped silk-jersey evening gowns or tight-as-you-like body-con micro minis, one thing is for sure - designer Amr Ali of cult fashion label Bodyamr does sexiness in spades. It was no surprise then this week's showing of his A/W ’11 collection drew one of the most glam front rows of fashion week's proceedings. Model of the moment, Amber Rose, was in attendance looking bootilicious in an uber-revealing dress, Louise Rednapp was looking fab in faux fur, while the gorgeous presenter Zara Martin, who designed a capsule collection with the label for S/S11, was rocking a super-chic cream dress paired with a statement pout.
It was the bold and beautiful collection though that had fashionistas and journalistas cooing. Inspired by the painting La Grande Odalisque by Ingres, Bodyamr's latest designs came in a rich range of shades including gold, teal, ruby red and midnight blue. Mixing modern tailoring with hot hues is what Bodyamr does best and the models that strutted their stuff on the runway sizzled in billowing drapes, sumptuous velvets and sexy sheer paneled gowns.
Beauty-wise the look was refined: think cashmere skin, lusciously long lashes and a dark, berry red, perfectly lined lip.

You can achieve a similar look using Max Factor’s Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation, Lash Extension Effect Mascara and Lipfinity Lip Tint in Berry Burst.
