Designer to die for: Les Chiffoniers

01 September 2010 1 Comment

Les Chiffoniers

Les Chiffoniers is one of the latest ‘cult’ brands to hit the fashion scene. Defined by its signature leggings and rock-chic aesthetic, these free spirited designs have been snapped up by the likes of Kate Moss, Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley and Daisy Lowe to name a few.

Les Chiffoniers

The talent behind the brand is Central Saint Martins graduate Leena Similu. She was inspired during her time working as head designer for Stella McCartney & Jil Sanders. However, Les Chiffoniers was born out of a fortunate accident involving 1 metre of pvc fabric and a serendipitous fancy dress party - attended by many of the influential London fashion pack, who expressed a great interest in the ‘fledgling label’, which inspired the launch of a full brand.

Miss Ireland 2010, Rozanna Purcell

Miss Ireland Rozanna Purcell is the most beautiful girl in the universe

23 August 2010 0 Comments


Now beauty pageants aren't the usual topics that I post about but I just saw Miss Ireland Rozanna Purcell's Youtube videos and this girl is amazingly beautiful. Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe her. Have you ever seen a girl look so hot using just a grainy webcam? I'm surprised an agency hasn't snapped up this girl. If I were a betting man i'd be betting on Ireland to win the Miss Universe title ... Actually I'm not a betting man but I may still bet on her winning Miss Universe. They say beauty pageants are a dying trend but if more contestants looked like Rozanna Purcell they'd be alot more popular.

Update: Ok, Rozanna Purcel didn't Miss Universe but neither did Helena Christiansen when she represented Denmark in 1987 and she's had a huge career. Hopefully one of the major agencies will snap her up.

Love Magazine nude cover naked
Love Magazine obviously loves naked bodies, because every issue has featured a naked  or nearly naked person on the cover. Beth Ditto  was nude on the first issue, Alex Hartley was shirtless on issue 2, Kate Moss Naomi, Lara Stone and cast of supermodels were  nude  on the cover of issue 3 and now Kelly Brook is naked on the cover of Issue 4. I know the financial crisis is still looming but is it possible to sell a fashion mag without having naked models on every cover?

Kelly Brook's NSFW Nude Love Magazine cover is after the jump.

Sienna miller love magazine pin up
Sienna Miller is the third  Brit to star on the cover of Love Magazine, Issue 4. She takes on the role of a 50's style pinup. However, there is one  major problem... she doesn't look like herself. It looks like one of the retouchers got a little too happy and the resulting photo ended up looking like a completely different woman.

The latest brand to do this is Dolce & Gabanna. Their short film is called 'Quando Quando Quando' and they sent me the below'trailer. It stars the beautiful Monica Belluci and it was filmed in my favorite European city, Rome.

January Jones for Tatler September 2010

10 August 2010 1 Comment

January Jones Tatler Mad Men star, January Jones is on the cover of Tatler's September 2010 issue. She was shot by photographer Robert Erdmann. In the spread she wears dresses by Prada and Louis Vuitton.

I don't like how she looks on the cover. The dress looks unflattering from this angle and she looks like she has a handbag around her neck. There is also a horse in the top left hand corner that looks like he's crashing the shoot. I wish they would have used the second image instead of the cover.

Former Glamour Model and tabloid queen,Katie Price has revealed that she wants to make a move from lads mags to fashion mags. Katie Price (Jordan) will now be focusing her attention on booking more fashion modelling gigs. Price  recently told Metro: "I've done Wonderland magazine, a spread and a cover, which will hopefully open up fashion magazines for me."

I'm a bit surprised that Wonderland would give Katie Price a cover, but then again it shouldn't be that shocking as Katie Price was previously handpicked by Anna Wintour Vogue's "shape issue" in 2006. there's no word yet on when Katie's cover will debut but one thing thats certain is that it will either be extraordinarily good or horrendously bad.

Supermodel Lily Cole, was recently interviewed by the Metro newspaper and revealed that she's never heard of Janice Dickinson. That's the equivalent of David Cameron saying he'd never heard of Winston Churchill or Lady Gaga not knowing about Madonna.

When Lily Cole was asked if she was concerned that she'd end up like Janice Dickinson and stay in the Industry for decades she responded, "I don't Know who she is."

Now we know Lily is no fool, after all she is a student at Cambridge but you can't be a Supermodel and not know who Janice Dickinson is. After all Janice Dickinson is one of the world's first Supermodels

Henry holland roxyHenry Holland and collaboration are two things that go hand in hand. This time the House of Holland will be collaborating with Roxy to create ski wear.

When Roxy approached us about working with them on a small capsule collection I jumped at the idea as I loved the concept of designing a snow wardrobe based on functional and fashionable snow gear," Holland told Vogue. We think the line will be very popular with the ski bunnies this year.
