Hiatus... / Victoria Beckham Collection

Hi guys,
This is a half and half blog. 
Firstly I would like to apologize for my impromptu disappearance, my only defence is that I have been away and I was way too busy to blog . But i'm back, refreshed and ready to face the winter weather and blog at your service!


Now to VB,
I'll start with my favourite pieces from her S/S 2011 collection;

 (I know it's nearly the whole collection!)

Personally I've always been a fan of Mrs Beckham, so I have to say i'm not too surprised by the success of her Collection, but even I have to say that I wasn't completely sure what direction it was going to follow and how it was going to grow. However, having seen her S/S 2011 collection, I will concur with Anna Wintour "Do not underestimate her".


I am also very excited by these pieces from her denim collection; 

To see the full collections and her very cool inspiration videos go to her website www.victoriabeckham.com.

Rive Gauche et Libre| Vogue Paris September 2010

   

Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot  and featuring Malgosia Bela, Daphne Groeneveld and Lea T, and then styled by Carine Roitfeld, this shoot just couldn't go wrong. 


I love the avant-garde, androgynous style of the shoot and I think the close up on Lea T's face is beautiful.

Simple addition!

1 + 1 = 2

... ok next question


What happens when you add two of the hottest trends of one season into one photoshoot?

"Camel" + "Statement coat" = ?

Telegraph.co.uk fashion photographer, Catherine Servel, gives us her answer's through the lens of this week's feature.

Who said math's was hard! Now the only thing I'm stuck on is how to get these camel coats into my possession!

Lights, Camera, ACNE!!

Event: Acne Runway Show In London
Location: Former Residence of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon at Kensington Palace.
Date: September 19th
Reaction: Can I Get A Ticket? Pretty Please?? With Cherries On Top


Following on from the opening of their first london Store on Dover Street, Jonny Johansson has decided to ensure that Acne's presence in England is well known by having the brands first real runway show. His only hints about what to expect?  "a lot of sheer, a large amount of leather,” 


If he carries it off with the same panache as he did the store opening, it will definitely be a Fashion week highlight!




My Favourite items from the collection online and in stores now;

Hybria Suede Cut In Wedge Ankle Boot

Ganga

P.S if you need to whet your appetite before the show, head over to the store... you know what?? head down there anyway ! you don't need a reason.

HOGAN Ad campaign Fall/Winter 2011!

TOD's sister brand, Hogan, has enlisted the help of uber fashionista Olivia Palermo this season. I think it's a welcome change! Interstingly, Johannes Heubl (Olivia's beau) seen left of Olivia in the final picture  fits in seamlessly to the spirited nature of this campaign. My favourite piece is that khaki parker, it's so fitted yet cosy - look at the detailing of the gold buttons!!!!! A perfect alternative to the winter coat...
Did any of you peep the model Elisa Sednaoui in the video.. she was featured in this month's British Vogue?

Bright Lights, Blurs and Whirls!

I admit, I was scared to post this... purely because not everyone adores the Olsen twins. But you know what.. I DON'T CARE... do you know why? Because it's not about the 'Ashley Olsen' or the 'Olsen Empire' but a girl who's style is so niche and totally her own... that any imitators fail miserably in comparison. Both girls,are boundary breakers unable to ignore fashion- I personally love that, their 'against- the- grain attitude' has definitely got us watching.  

This editorial comes courtesy of FASHION Canada's September 2010 Issue. And I am beyond captivated. The sepia lighting is what does it for me, taking the pieces to a different level of elegant. I'm getting such a vintage vibe. - you can almost sense the movement by the blur and off focus stills. Tell me I'm not alone when I say the lace body-con with the caramel leather peplum needs to jump into my wardrobe with immediate effect!

In all seriousness, Ashley Olsen is showing me maturity, grace and poise in all of 5 pictures! The layering of the gold cuffs on top of black gloves has all the ingredients of cliche styling but manages to look organic and almost grungy against that beautiful fur. The oversized gilet, paired with a zesty yellow matronly bag, the knitted bra in the black and white still...

its all... genius,... believable,... Olsen!
