FAKE BAKE talks tanning trends at Milan, Paris and our Kaia obsession…..



We know it’s not really winter yet, but any fashion addict worth their rock salt is already looking to next season to find a bit of inspiration. So we might not be able to wear some of the looks just yet, but when it comes to hair and beauty trends, we are all over them. And, obviously being Team Fake Bake, we are always talking tanning. Gone are the days when one tan attempted to fit all. Now we have a whole wardrobe of tanning looks to suit our moods. But after looking at what has been going on in Milan and Paris, we have good news: the tan is your best accessory for 2019. And it has to be fake because you want gorgeous skin. Obvs.

As Michael Kors announced that they are buying out Versace, with the legendary Donatella staying on as Creative Director, we know that that legendary Versace golden glow will thrive, as Michael Kors as a brand is all about the jet-setting kinda feel. And match your tan to your sports-luxe to make it very Bella, Bella…..



Talking of the brunette Hadid sister, we are all about a tanned shoulder and a jumpsuit after seeing what the legendary Jeremy Scott has been doing at Moschino. This may be a next season hack but we think this look is about as party season as it gets.


Talking of party season, we think matching your current mood with your mate’s is the fashion way forward. Highlighted shoulders. Check. Head-to-toe red. Check. Smooth skin and golden pins. Check. Walking out of the club with your drink still in your hand? OK, maybe only Rihanna and supermodels can get away with that one!


Style spotting at Milan and Paris we noticed some distinct trends. Hair was fresh and tousled. Clothes chic and slouchy with a nod to casual, but lots of luxurious fabrics. The accessories, though, are all about classics. From a relaunched Dior saddlebag to a chic patent Louboutin pump, street stars were all about mixing something traditional with huge statement earrings and don’t-pap-me-pouts. It’s all about looking effortless in a way that we know takes a whole lot of effort to put together. That’s part of the fun, right?




We are absolutely loving the tight ponytails and plaits we saw on the catwalk. You better make sure your skin is glowing and your eyebrows are sleek to carry this look off. And someone who wears it so well is Kaia Gerber. The face of every major label at all four Fashion Capitals, she certainly took her mum’s Take Your Daughter To Work Day seriously as a kid. While we used to get dragged to our mum’s offices, she did a Versace shoot instead.


Can it be easy being Cindy C’s daughter? Legendary supermodel, part of the original crew that graced the cover of Vogue in 1990 that made models superstars, Cindy has had a stellar career that is still going strong nearly thirty years later. But here’s the thing. Kaia Gerber is just out of high school but she’s making fashion her own space. As Paris Fashion Week draws to a close she’s on the cover of French Vogue bringing youth and colour to style’s most illustrious city.



We adore this sporty look at Off White. Team that famous swoosh with door knocker earrings, a glossy pout and sculpted cheeks.


At Maxmara, Kaia brought her genetic elegance to a grown up label. It’s all about that extended plait and highlighted cheek.


At Fendi, it’s topknot time, a baby fringe and a perfectly structured coat.


So, you are asking, this is all well and good if you are Kaia Gerber in real life, but what if you are one if us? The non-supermodel brigade who still want to look amazing. We checked out our gorgeous friend, Amber, media star and Clyde 1 Official regular, who showed us how to do Kaia’s look with the help of our pro tanning products, Gold and Double Dark, and our wonder contouring stick, She’s Shady. You can try the look at home with our She’s Shady Kit. You simply apply the She’s Shady stick to areas you want to highlight, and use our Airbrush so that you get a really sculpted effect. (Just in case you are a novice the kit comes with full instructions to get your look spot on!)



We suppose it’s back to reality for a while, which means box sets, big socks and working out how many paydays we can squeeze in before Christmas. We are dreaming of finding Saint Laurent boots under the tree, but until then, we’ll be channelling Kaia with our perfect ponies and packing pamper nights in with the company of this girl.

Killing Eve. If you haven’t binge watched it yet, are you even on Team Fake Bake?
