For goodness sake, party God Marc Jacobs isn't even hosting any of his legendary after parties this season. Reportedly, he is cutting invites to his autumn/winter show by hundreds, despite hosting the show in the same location. When the credit crunch affects Marc Jacobs, you know there is a problem! Big brands like Versace and Prada have turned to the 'Supers' like Kate, Giselle and Linda to try and pull in those dollars as the luxury market takes a trip downwards.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Recent reports claim that LVMH are interested in acquiring the accessories brand.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If a $50,000 payout is not a statement to their competitors that te credit crunch is not hitting Coach, I don't know what is?</span></span><br /></div>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-4539188681041969702009-02-01T18:10:00.005+00:002009-02-01T18:23:25.651+00:00Something for the weekend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpKI3HzT7bF3r4n060Ctvo6QQKEvEHvVTvTlTa9cbq04-6TFBnfrJzBjInhlM4tqllacKl9UpE9Wv5TJoBvor3cL426s_VHfQasaWhoZvnWu6kSYxk4CQ7DeOOHcmxec5uoLda_4tKMwq/s1600-h/Grace+2.JPG"><br /></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQiukkIE4kbAkGMcfbEfj8F3Vtbo6qDNJpr2ozTeMw7OFCmOwQnZ4U6bceSIuovB8zFwJh2s51Vd_DzPlXWoymE1wUQxDY7U4Tu940-nrWl3i_jWMYOXkvIxZgyAT0JtZc_SUDvGYfr63W/s1600-h/Grace+1.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQiukkIE4kbAkGMcfbEfj8F3Vtbo6qDNJpr2ozTeMw7OFCmOwQnZ4U6bceSIuovB8zFwJh2s51Vd_DzPlXWoymE1wUQxDY7U4Tu940-nrWl3i_jWMYOXkvIxZgyAT0JtZc_SUDvGYfr63W/s320/Grace+1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297895894980389890" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I hope everyone is having a great 'Superbowl' Sunday.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This afternoon I've been sitting deleting and moving some pictures off my laptop.

According to fashionologie.com, the general feeling amongst the fash pack was that the show paid homage to the 'Valentino archive' and the design duo failed to make a stamp on the house and did not take on the responsibility of moving the house forward. </span></span></p><p face="Georgia" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; margin-top: 10px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">After seeing the collection I feel completely different. I loved the cream suits with the beautiful stand up collars, and the draped dresses and ruffle detailing on the ensembles. The jewel tones in red and aubergine were beautiful and classic but very cautious compared to the extravagant nature of the Valentino house. What more of a development is that. The designs moved away from the over-the-top excessive nature of the house, without compromising on the craftsmanship and detail we all love and expect from a couture show. I honestly think this is a positive mood for the house. The dresses and suits were very elegant and classic making it very relevant in the light of the current economic climate. </span></span></p><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span></div><p face="Georgia" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; clear: both; margin-top: 10px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Is it right of us to be so critical of the design duo so early into their job at Valentino? I don't think so. It reminds me of Frida Giannini's first few season's at Gucci. Wasn't she criticized in the same way for trying to copy Tom Ford's aesthetic at Gucci? Her recent success at Gucci is a far cry from this early criticism. I say, give them a chance to find their feet. Critics should save judgment and allow the duo to find their own comfort zone in the brand. </span></span></p></span>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-4820624216546884642008-06-13T22:50:00.004+00:002008-06-13T23:06:23.592+00:00Kate fights Back<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthSk_E1OhBpL444z0PtHVJBRs1p80-vif9dWLsQTuMbOMK6TE3XNNeeV1XkFiDdOLn-dbj70R0pkyjvsw5iyVKeXY8sHjbDvLykvNvXn7I0rGFFWRjIYTzz5IjCnNkNPEEFeHuXrVSAhO/s1600-h/katemoss_120608.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthSk_E1OhBpL444z0PtHVJBRs1p80-vif9dWLsQTuMbOMK6TE3XNNeeV1XkFiDdOLn-dbj70R0pkyjvsw5iyVKeXY8sHjbDvLykvNvXn7I0rGFFWRjIYTzz5IjCnNkNPEEFeHuXrVSAhO/s400/katemoss_120608.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211503424939543282" /></a><br />Kate Moss really looked fashion fantastic as she stepped out in this gorgeous grey mini.

This comes at a time where recently, supermodel diva Naomi Campbell spoke out about the lack of opportunities for black models in the fashion industry. Many people in the industry have avoided the recent controversy choosing not to comment on it so this is a brave move for Dunn, who is still relatively new to the model world. But like many argue, it's about time someone made a stand and who better than the designers present favourite clothes horse.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Early this month black designers like Duro Oluwu openly spoke out about the hard time even black designers are given trying to break out in the industry, crediting the help of American Vogue for seeing the quality of his clothes rather than the colour of his skin. He goes on to say that it was the help of both American and British Vogue that helped prevent further prejudice in his career and made buyers stand up and take notice of his designs.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>In a society governed by tolerance and acceptance, why is it that the fashion industry has followed suit? Is the industry really suffering from racisim.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Fashion designer and former editor of style magazine Super, Super Kesh argues that "Being black in the business people instantly class you as 'urban', whereas a white person will be classed as high fashion'.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Why is this?</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>When I looked into this for research for this blog, I suddenly realised that there isn't many black people in authoratitive figures in the industry. Naomi Campbell, American Vogue's Editor at Lage Andre Leon Tally and now Duro Oluwu. Is that all there is out of the thousands of fashion positions globally. If that is not evidence that something needs to change, I don't know what is.</div>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-5655805013604999962008-04-04T16:15:00.002+00:002008-04-04T16:27:39.305+00:00The Water Effect<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lRFTvvqkYekY3ST9KzBOlqtKjO96w22ImcKWYlknNGStQZaD5WanfkEUIVzb_xlWNx5yfBtVKUOfwFq1AJUooLbaubO8ea9fWOe3Pn9IeUIeSTy2cktf0wqgZ_-_MFAK6lM2btwrfJkN/s1600-h/copyright_zholloway_angel3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185427575068663426" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_lRFTvvqkYekY3ST9KzBOlqtKjO96w22ImcKWYlknNGStQZaD5WanfkEUIVzb_xlWNx5yfBtVKUOfwFq1AJUooLbaubO8ea9fWOe3Pn9IeUIeSTy2cktf0wqgZ_-_MFAK6lM2btwrfJkN/s320/copyright_zholloway_angel3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix9U6ot6xcKWW7GOwazPmIXFo7gLVxSfGcKzd_YbJFhzxAY5PzQBwIl-teJh2PcXjC6IWguZPSMkKk4nQO0kMwB8kXgMYtXHSgQmAfofDkXpVY1XU1Puv-FgL8h_17wP7-uOFGAhsuwQO7/s1600-h/copyright_zholloway_angel5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185427575068663442" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix9U6ot6xcKWW7GOwazPmIXFo7gLVxSfGcKzd_YbJFhzxAY5PzQBwIl-teJh2PcXjC6IWguZPSMkKk4nQO0kMwB8kXgMYtXHSgQmAfofDkXpVY1XU1Puv-FgL8h_17wP7-uOFGAhsuwQO7/s320/copyright_zholloway_angel5.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGkjmNllHWxMVQC-ifeVHJc5VqMffBe2q7gSSUfgVuhqFsPNvSr-XSSiipzlhB_ftvu-rX0l5knuwJMDA0FpjzTzGUl3PdTj4vW7tLRPQoix0MhyphenhyphenAiUc2q6JFDYkrGpHqyS5yK6dWdBwz/s1600-h/copyright_zholloway_cage3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185427579363630754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheGkjmNllHWxMVQC-ifeVHJc5VqMffBe2q7gSSUfgVuhqFsPNvSr-XSSiipzlhB_ftvu-rX0l5knuwJMDA0FpjzTzGUl3PdTj4vW7tLRPQoix0MhyphenhyphenAiUc2q6JFDYkrGpHqyS5yK6dWdBwz/s320/copyright_zholloway_cage3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbXubqrviRTvQnNCOalT_-tvK3gPR3In1rrm7ND-u6qzWhePG3_F8_0kAy4sWkMYKqVzfO8iJaiqjJWdjSOCS8bRja85CWygcxCzRASqNpJVu17yM25ObMTcU9-wlZHKMZ6B82W-kFIAX/s1600-h/copyright_zholloway_fire3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185427583658598066" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbXubqrviRTvQnNCOalT_-tvK3gPR3In1rrm7ND-u6qzWhePG3_F8_0kAy4sWkMYKqVzfO8iJaiqjJWdjSOCS8bRja85CWygcxCzRASqNpJVu17yM25ObMTcU9-wlZHKMZ6B82W-kFIAX/s320/copyright_zholloway_fire3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklapzyt4pmLw6TuOUkHejsPJhwJ1QIoQAqJsjsHIMJKQ7hCxMFpBt1JnTT66ucAS0_DR5t-PbTsSY0RD_YHihQtoGIRH9mWhDBR8T_CsOd03JAE43mE8ztAGDOxqMb5wslyDSaUfdOsUT/s1600-h/copyright_zholloway_gold1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185427583658598082" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhklapzyt4pmLw6TuOUkHejsPJhwJ1QIoQAqJsjsHIMJKQ7hCxMFpBt1JnTT66ucAS0_DR5t-PbTsSY0RD_YHihQtoGIRH9mWhDBR8T_CsOd03JAE43mE8ztAGDOxqMb5wslyDSaUfdOsUT/s320/copyright_zholloway_gold1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I was lost for words when I laid eyes on this pictures on Fashion Ivy, which is a rare occurence.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I love the way the photographer captures the light.

The rest is history.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Styled by Anne-Marie Curtis and photographed by Matthew Vriens, the shoot has a dark edge compared to ELLE's more safe, fresh look. The shoot oozed fashion and sophistication combined with the edge and quirkiness Ricci is most famous for. Unfortunately for us fashion fans, Ricci missed the hot spot front page by Madonna, who is currently promoting her new single with Justin Timberlake '4 minutes'. This is a really disappointing move from ELLE. It was only two issues ago, where the mag placed Chloe Sevigny on the cover saying that they would only include people related or influential to the fashion industry to move away from this current craze of the celebrity. We all sighed with relief untill the new issue was released putting the fashion star Ricci in one of the fashion stories and placing Madonna on the front page. I know Madge has influence trends and popular culture in the past but I'm no so sure that her trademark Adidas tracksuit is what the ELLE consumer is trying to aspire to. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Hopefully this is a momentary blip for my favourite UK magazine so all we can do is wait for next months installment.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Gosh, I'm such a critic!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>What does everyone else think?</div>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-22144700130298580752008-02-23T15:31:00.004+00:002008-02-23T15:44:39.571+00:00Old School Glamour for Demi and Rumer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6eTklEQd_thlt1dRGvaVy0JinQpI8iXXgF3v6INYMVVm9Tqq_vaq1WYX19spj2soZY8WQ12hmhqYUTKGjrsQ0gy40yXsMpsB5pCiO1DR6aZmkc6EBi7YSItpqQl7kShEimVYstWRHOCKj/s1600-h/smalldemiashtonrumer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6eTklEQd_thlt1dRGvaVy0JinQpI8iXXgF3v6INYMVVm9Tqq_vaq1WYX19spj2soZY8WQ12hmhqYUTKGjrsQ0gy40yXsMpsB5pCiO1DR6aZmkc6EBi7YSItpqQl7kShEimVYstWRHOCKj/s320/smalldemiashtonrumer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170201996478805602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlGimmfGRe1pcF_AHNyLPElStLaIFgaLvoRD6skhw0lv1I1i3t9mJwCQR0uqgWjJNfmGDj14o3kp9pwSQ7B7VxlJDRxz04ufCcOASJBF37H5xmtxMY2eirhIDcilGyYM-LclG4p2JcHhyphenhyphen-/s1600-h/smalldemiashtonrumer2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlGimmfGRe1pcF_AHNyLPElStLaIFgaLvoRD6skhw0lv1I1i3t9mJwCQR0uqgWjJNfmGDj14o3kp9pwSQ7B7VxlJDRxz04ufCcOASJBF37H5xmtxMY2eirhIDcilGyYM-LclG4p2JcHhyphenhyphen-/s320/smalldemiashtonrumer2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170202000773772914" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHRS9Di2UEIJxCIfHpMyniXnxolFladBz4wtc7XSLNcbr8JSlwaVDtKDyVoPvCxXbPe3GoQrk7gYfpajJ_bsVL1p13Z48pSZdLA7VB45akNSSzvE-4liAcnw5NsJ6fp7HyjIB2Lmnc0_y/s1600-h/smalldemiashtonrumer3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHRS9Di2UEIJxCIfHpMyniXnxolFladBz4wtc7XSLNcbr8JSlwaVDtKDyVoPvCxXbPe3GoQrk7gYfpajJ_bsVL1p13Z48pSZdLA7VB45akNSSzvE-4liAcnw5NsJ6fp7HyjIB2Lmnc0_y/s320/smalldemiashtonrumer3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170202005068740226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8Y_IHCph8W1jV3Y_zd1sWIwnIvuQqwMq4Gh8_uXLwP1TcWJRIdGGxfjNBLdi57N9p1eTS0zjNwtVF8xbk5VkUmBHfO2DcHPjWppoSfNJBora2ChF0XEJcvJ_B7f4zWCgI5gkEBk_44QK/s1600-h/smalldemiashtonrumer4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8Y_IHCph8W1jV3Y_zd1sWIwnIvuQqwMq4Gh8_uXLwP1TcWJRIdGGxfjNBLdi57N9p1eTS0zjNwtVF8xbk5VkUmBHfO2DcHPjWppoSfNJBora2ChF0XEJcvJ_B7f4zWCgI5gkEBk_44QK/s320/smalldemiashtonrumer4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170202009363707538" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">On the runway shows of designers like Kimora Lee Simmons for BabyFat, we are getting strong references to that old school glamour that we all love. I'm talking cigarette pants, sharp tailoring, floor length gowns, the full works. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">This got me so excited for the new autumn/winter collections. Even more so after seeing these latest pictures of Demi, Ashton and Rummer at Grisogono’s Hollywood Dominos Benefiting The Art Of Elysium yesterday. </span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Demi looks amazing in her white floor length gown. The swarovski crystals and fur really lends itself to that old school Hollywood glamour. Hopefully, we'll see more of that at the Oscars tomorrow. More and more celebrities are playing it safe on the red carpet. It's about time that we had more stars going all out for their 5 minute spot on the red carpet.<br /><br />Rumer's dress looks amazing in her white floor length gown with it's intricate yet simple Grecian style draping. And I'm loving how both stars use the glamorous woman's make-up staple: the red lip.<br /><br />Stunning<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;">What does everyone else think?<br /></span>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-56293223359044424742008-02-23T15:25:00.003+00:002008-02-23T15:27:54.303+00:00Karen and Casey in Vogue<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzfMHcvXi7GSIH8K33kTU-Km1NPBoe2BzGUFFlDop8zujsU25MAKRkZSv8TczR9acQ838nzwVgneFfk1NHOp5XRlayw-0BsAh8xOBR9zOg8vkTx9Ny-MfmrdNSE9XhOpW3FjRk6X54Nz7V/s1600-h/caseyaffleck.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzfMHcvXi7GSIH8K33kTU-Km1NPBoe2BzGUFFlDop8zujsU25MAKRkZSv8TczR9acQ838nzwVgneFfk1NHOp5XRlayw-0BsAh8xOBR9zOg8vkTx9Ny-MfmrdNSE9XhOpW3FjRk6X54Nz7V/s400/caseyaffleck.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170197688626607666" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiGxqirngrywnytD99w9oRHkf2A7u1uA7ICggPEDe99c8_gghYjr28WVYFEiU6qG2_kyCMbWKXefJh-y29uZVsjLahRsj2ze46eLhtulhxgxpx4eDW3yG1zYOcSAlq-2OcXcQ8ZwUDidI/s1600-h/caseyaffleck2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoiGxqirngrywnytD99w9oRHkf2A7u1uA7ICggPEDe99c8_gghYjr28WVYFEiU6qG2_kyCMbWKXefJh-y29uZVsjLahRsj2ze46eLhtulhxgxpx4eDW3yG1zYOcSAlq-2OcXcQ8ZwUDidI/s400/caseyaffleck2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170197692921574978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhP4jNIGdOYe1i8qIaCqPaNdB7fTwmtiOiMDSbqJ5EmKFAx5IYtioI0xQ2wZc6v0jOi0tO2m4JywPNLNqlCQQd3DVY15-1Rxdcpcp5Ge0V9snVjX5rh0GIc6O9RywmZ0qQuiBbNX15l0W/s1600-h/caseyaffleck3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhP4jNIGdOYe1i8qIaCqPaNdB7fTwmtiOiMDSbqJ5EmKFAx5IYtioI0xQ2wZc6v0jOi0tO2m4JywPNLNqlCQQd3DVY15-1Rxdcpcp5Ge0V9snVjX5rh0GIc6O9RywmZ0qQuiBbNX15l0W/s400/caseyaffleck3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170197697216542290" border="0" /></a><br />Here are the latest pictures from the current issue of Vogue<br /><br />Enjoy!Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-90632710710538624902008-02-23T14:38:00.002+00:002008-02-23T14:42:52.153+00:00What's on Watson<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzDEe60_fITytzS1Hku0A_s7q8sKs4rL_tW3pxdVKvubLOLdIRLxxq84EHe0UDYNI-IHNe84HhFwPQ92G_ATLM38pzLrvfpTxU_jbflN-H95t3yZyFRGD_H6AX7Rs_tAK39CKSxVy2mhu/s1600-h/06736_exhibit27_122_195lo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhzDEe60_fITytzS1Hku0A_s7q8sKs4rL_tW3pxdVKvubLOLdIRLxxq84EHe0UDYNI-IHNe84HhFwPQ92G_ATLM38pzLrvfpTxU_jbflN-H95t3yZyFRGD_H6AX7Rs_tAK39CKSxVy2mhu/s320/06736_exhibit27_122_195lo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170186117984712210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQNpfW6pKZK7x7N31VDvLdFXBwEk5IQOAO4ZbgpIR7EtsmGvM_9SaklsZUzy9w7wYaO0o6CCE1NIvt81iztGfsBUvNS4hmhz0ugPhxCKbhiZwhXTxdJRqD8quHZdVfk7r2cSevL0j8vRYB/s1600-h/07050_exhibit39_122_673lo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQNpfW6pKZK7x7N31VDvLdFXBwEk5IQOAO4ZbgpIR7EtsmGvM_9SaklsZUzy9w7wYaO0o6CCE1NIvt81iztGfsBUvNS4hmhz0ugPhxCKbhiZwhXTxdJRqD8quHZdVfk7r2cSevL0j8vRYB/s320/07050_exhibit39_122_673lo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170186117984712226" border="0" /></a><br /> I was trailing through old pictures on my PC and came across quite a few of Harry Potter star, Emma Watson looking well......rather stylish!<br />I'm really inspired by her at the moment. Not only does she epitomize old British elegance, she's a classic beauty and beings something different to the young fashion scene in London who are simply try to be carbon copies of fashionista's like Aggy, Lily and Kelly.<br /><br />Watch this space.

For a girl that has so much innate personal style, stylists always manage to make her look so generic and 'teeny' on magazine shoots. Her hair is always non-descript and they always put her in the generic pinks and pastels. I'd love to see her in a more challenging shoot where they change her style completely. Something more like the recent shoot with Michelle Williams in Nylon. They completely changed her style and was creative with it and she looked amazing. Isn't that what we expect from fashion stories.....creativity!<br /><br />What does everyone else think?Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-26983655750148212852008-02-23T13:44:00.002+00:002008-02-23T13:50:44.335+00:00Two of a Kind<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXp-SQlSNKKYdu4c4Qh868f23guodxn5fdL46Xm97s72v7LaVw_k5XzAnagfcKvhBeytkL7pdnfaY2iP00Avc7Yg-5pIVZg8tUymKUFwORx17oJVTY4VvS6EuaeH4BPXmkDp09VUlr8aw/s1600-h/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnXp-SQlSNKKYdu4c4Qh868f23guodxn5fdL46Xm97s72v7LaVw_k5XzAnagfcKvhBeytkL7pdnfaY2iP00Avc7Yg-5pIVZg8tUymKUFwORx17oJVTY4VvS6EuaeH4BPXmkDp09VUlr8aw/s400/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170172657557206434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmnnfldBn1pbnFzoEK7beZE6v4KO_QVQmYYKNyyOg6E1WyrqtdGqcH8kBKknqVFSRXP5Y0dJJ-gUA68-xhg3NP_KQlzMuyBog665vcZ3MzXElh7S9HQpcLLJuKUl-x0g_k0FRHuPCS8Qp0/s1600-h/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmnnfldBn1pbnFzoEK7beZE6v4KO_QVQmYYKNyyOg6E1WyrqtdGqcH8kBKknqVFSRXP5Y0dJJ-gUA68-xhg3NP_KQlzMuyBog665vcZ3MzXElh7S9HQpcLLJuKUl-x0g_k0FRHuPCS8Qp0/s400/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170172666147141042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3Oj48Nr48BWsg13TPEOzHIJe4VbdJLJeyU0W8KF5ityYjgzNoO0QlySIGI1h7VkfyqOS7-_gauQEb8lygTHtezw5ITuWGK8GyEZhZagP_HAXYKvkSRCiAdXOzFasRfXbaYo-zq-11UXG/s1600-h/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3Oj48Nr48BWsg13TPEOzHIJe4VbdJLJeyU0W8KF5ityYjgzNoO0QlySIGI1h7VkfyqOS7-_gauQEb8lygTHtezw5ITuWGK8GyEZhZagP_HAXYKvkSRCiAdXOzFasRfXbaYo-zq-11UXG/s400/smallnatalieportmanscarlettjohannsonw5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170172670442108354" border="0" /></a><br /> Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman can be seen gracing the cover of the latest issue of W magazine.<br />Fully clad in the spring/summer Mui Mui collection both actresses spoke about working together on their latest film 'The other Boleyn Girl'<br /><br />I love the shoot and think Natalie Portman really rocked it.

So many of our great designers like Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and even Preen have got up and left the capital.

We all know her now but would you have recognized that name say 5 years ago. </span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;" > As a celebrity stylist behind the seams, Zoe sets the tone for what Keira Knightley and Lindsay Lohan wear. In doing so, she and other stylists have morphed from dressers-and-schleppers hired by magazines to press and pin clothes at photo shoots to star-shapers and fashion visionaries who are courted by designers, celebrities and clothing brands.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >Hollywood icons used to attend the Oscars wearing dresses by their favorite designers -- or bought off store racks -- and no one ever asked, "Who are you wearing?" The days of going it alone ended after Demi Moore was snapped in a disastrous self-designed bike shorts-and-bustier combo at the Academy Awards in 1989. Now, as Italian designer Giorgio Armani rued to the "Wall Street Journal," "No actress moves without her stylist."</span> <p style="font-family: arial;"> <span style="font-size:85%;">"We've entered a topsy-turvy world where the stylist has more power than the designer,'' says Cohen, who's also chief industry analyst at the NPD Group, which follows the fashion trade. "Stylists are the matchmakers between designers and stars. And celebrities have become the vehicle for designers to communicate and separate themselves from the field."</span> </p> <p style="font-family: arial;"> <span style="font-size:85%;">Like puppet masters, stylists pull designers' strings, says Tom Julian, longtime fashion analyst for Oscar.com, the official website of the Academy Awards. "I have heard tales that a stylist believes that this gown must be in this color -- so it is," he says.<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The art of transformation has always been apparent in fashion with icons such as Madonna all the way to pop starlet Kylie constantly changing their style but the art of transformation has not been as important as it has been in recent years. In a society where you are only as good as your last look, celebrities are all too quick to get their stylist in to change their look to get that front page spread of the magazines. The most recent example is Rihanna. Rihanna was nothing more than a R'n'B wannabe until she hired Phillip Bloch as her stylist and came out with hit single Umbrella. The rest is history. More recently Rih Rih cut her Pob in favour of a short Yoanna style that she's sporting at the moment in order to keep on top of the transformation game.</span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Another woman playing the transformation game recently is Kate Holmes. Since marrying Tom Cruise, the former Dawson's Creek star had been thrust into the fashion limelight. Kate's style epitomises classic chic and is far cry from Victoria Beckham's 'try hard' attempt at being fashionable. According to Galina Espinoza from People magazine: 'Katie Holmes is one of the most remarkable style revolutions. She's always very simple, very elegant and her clothes fit her properly'.<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Who do you think has had the biggest style transformation from a stylist?<br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span> </p><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-18188430784630310332008-02-21T15:25:00.005+00:002008-02-21T15:29:17.210+00:00Beautifully Broken<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5qziBhY7vjL7UZUot3OAEOkZ0lUigXNk6mOPNRpG3OThvKyAIswquz7qF98QBs-8Og_Lhgv_Fd7A0ttFIqTezn9eWzGVkWboicfhrWWjqzw9Sc1rQ9nfns29KjnilNIWgErWKpThVkX7c/s1600-h/jourdan+sparks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5qziBhY7vjL7UZUot3OAEOkZ0lUigXNk6mOPNRpG3OThvKyAIswquz7qF98QBs-8Og_Lhgv_Fd7A0ttFIqTezn9eWzGVkWboicfhrWWjqzw9Sc1rQ9nfns29KjnilNIWgErWKpThVkX7c/s400/jourdan+sparks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169455445263414562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukVtLQ8mgrnRGY6GCY-k4wXUhMazNveYp_VlEl3KEByyxit36i-PMVOiUpgMMSHYiQxhO42PhqTM75Xb5-MJuDHT-ujsKMDwz2a204dlZObuwuTFDHF6AfVH6yv2Np_yPG-IhZ7Z4x9rU/s1600-h/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgukVtLQ8mgrnRGY6GCY-k4wXUhMazNveYp_VlEl3KEByyxit36i-PMVOiUpgMMSHYiQxhO42PhqTM75Xb5-MJuDHT-ujsKMDwz2a204dlZObuwuTFDHF6AfVH6yv2Np_yPG-IhZ7Z4x9rU/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169455449558381874" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasrPf7haLb2m0zJ2YZJdSoHOQ9EkhsN6w4M3zgDaE1pUrslaQhwp3r2CHUnWokdgB2s9fyQYBEyrUqvKcAK37_7M9HrN4xlaznU0f5M6XvlFJPs_nLhdBKCNliyz2ltforUTRRxSgbqMp/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjasrPf7haLb2m0zJ2YZJdSoHOQ9EkhsN6w4M3zgDaE1pUrslaQhwp3r2CHUnWokdgB2s9fyQYBEyrUqvKcAK37_7M9HrN4xlaznU0f5M6XvlFJPs_nLhdBKCNliyz2ltforUTRRxSgbqMp/s400/3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169455453853349186" border="0" /></a><br /><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">Beautiful Fashion Week newcomer Jourdan Dunn,17, made history today as the first black model to hit the runway from Prada since Naomi Campbell did as long as 15 years ago.<br />This all comes at a time where race in fashion is a hot issue. Recently supermodel Naomi Campbell showed support for the Hammersmith born model in her fight to bring more non-white models to the catwalks.<br /><br />“London's not a white city so why should all our castings be white? I go to castings and see several black and Asian girls, then I get to the show and look around and there's just me and maybe one other coloured face” said Dunn.<br /><br />Talking about those with darker skin, she said: “They just don't get picked. I hope it's because the designer just didn't think they were good enough as a model but I don't know”.<br /><br />With Dunn being one of the hottest models hitting the runway this season, hopefully this marks a change in attitudes amongst the fashion industry.<br /><br />Only time will tell.</p>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758947737993268415.post-44472142298459374062008-01-14T19:21:00.000+00:002008-01-14T19:29:18.594+00:00Halle in INSTYLE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NEKKarTG4PCSIhYFIFQacRdVn_j32R1D9byP6B6jaH2dOMXjsy5XUJkyuARb81XcJ6nq4VJB55fp0Wt24dy8elMcHgazbBQbexCtIr9mnae7l3CBzMmAT_6YyIg7Ff9jOvEOOrdmZS0O/s1600-h/smallhalleberryinstyle.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3NEKKarTG4PCSIhYFIFQacRdVn_j32R1D9byP6B6jaH2dOMXjsy5XUJkyuARb81XcJ6nq4VJB55fp0Wt24dy8elMcHgazbBQbexCtIr9mnae7l3CBzMmAT_6YyIg7Ff9jOvEOOrdmZS0O/s400/smallhalleberryinstyle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155416161153158434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPkC1jSq6nX_z8zh1EFyhOVl2f7w3N9KqBflD3x07WXjdckFP3-9ebhGxgOjxnZrPmjSXvINKAysBoX3CoovlZqlqnsbhyphenhyphenJRqMt4b6sZGNsx3MxgXvTVQ01lNz-wu09l-IvOs4ekTMuO8g/s1600-h/smallhalleberryinstyle2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPkC1jSq6nX_z8zh1EFyhOVl2f7w3N9KqBflD3x07WXjdckFP3-9ebhGxgOjxnZrPmjSXvINKAysBoX3CoovlZqlqnsbhyphenhyphenJRqMt4b6sZGNsx3MxgXvTVQ01lNz-wu09l-IvOs4ekTMuO8g/s400/smallhalleberryinstyle2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155416165448125746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcNRu8Eo_vgo15QDsSOaUMd6_3RxkBEiwt8Z_EMRTiFseChbDgPgk22iQ2Chz7IfPhCDDNor3RDKkn7u3CK395q0UO1kwstT-niAeq2KDjpk-jT_JFGcl7P0L7mydtLBkkxAXnYAY2mBmy/s1600-h/smallhalleberryinstyle3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcNRu8Eo_vgo15QDsSOaUMd6_3RxkBEiwt8Z_EMRTiFseChbDgPgk22iQ2Chz7IfPhCDDNor3RDKkn7u3CK395q0UO1kwstT-niAeq2KDjpk-jT_JFGcl7P0L7mydtLBkkxAXnYAY2mBmy/s400/smallhalleberryinstyle3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155416169743093058" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0f1mTw9eu1aisRdQ6p3Bw0WZQuPnzxr4iwT_69OjSY5uzIrnWO7oxoO43fIHN1a9vsWPyusJmZ95GOsg1zpSR3oHbnvPRvvDGCAYxz7mgjCn0KzU66be7L9kdwvSf2_Ww0sI5P7RDOY8/s1600-h/smallhalleberryinstyle4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY0f1mTw9eu1aisRdQ6p3Bw0WZQuPnzxr4iwT_69OjSY5uzIrnWO7oxoO43fIHN1a9vsWPyusJmZ95GOsg1zpSR3oHbnvPRvvDGCAYxz7mgjCn0KzU66be7L9kdwvSf2_Ww0sI5P7RDOY8/s400/smallhalleberryinstyle4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155416169743093074" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Halle Berry was looking radiant in this month's InStyle<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />magazine.

The Stam bag in honour of Jessica Stam, I could kind of understand because nobody can deny that she is gorgeous and a great model, but Rihanna. I must confess that I am a Rihanna fan but I'm still not sure about this. What do you think? It seems like a trend in a series of suprising decisions for the designer, after last week relasing the pictures of his spring/summer campaign sported by the complete fashion whore that we call 'Posh'.<br /><br />At first glance this new spring bag doesn’t resemble any other by designer Marc Jacobs. It doesn’t share any similar characteristic features that can be found when compared to one of its close relative lines – such as the signature chunky chain straps, quilted detailing, the iconic push-lock closure, etc. Nope, this bag is on it’s own. It’s a completely new style by the designer. I think it is in many ways a good move for the designer. The Marc Jacobs Rihanna bag is designed with a spacious interior (15.5″x 11.5″x 7.75″), a large easy-access twist-lock closure front flap pocket and features aged silver metal hardware, rolled leather half circle double handles, an extra 17” drop detachable thin chain link shoulder strap, the Marc Jacobs mini signature plaque on one side and a brown twill lining.<br /><br />Although I loved the Stam, the style was getting rather dated and I suddenly turned off it when I saw secondary school girls wearing fake rips offs on the school bus. It's far less showy and more on the sophisticated side. Ahhh...if only I had £1,300 to spare......<br />What do you guys think of it? <p><br /></p>Fashionistahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09231812490647167747noreply@blogger.com0
