Paper is the new Gold! Okay even I don't believe that but I recently saw some innovative paper jewellery that  made me consider that possibility. The beautiful paper creations are  designed by Sarah Kelly of  Saloukee Designs and made from laser-cut paper. I was mesmerised by the craftsmanship and artistry. I really like the line its like art meets origami meets jewellery meets amazing. Make sure to visit the official Saloukee website its truly spectacular.

Sienna Miller returns to the cover of US VOGUE – July 2009

12 June 2009 No Comments


Seriously-sienna-miller-vogue-july-2009-cover
Sienna Miller is once again on the cover of US Vogue. The cover was shot by photographer Craig Mc Dean. This is Sienna's first US vogue cover since the documentary about the their September 2008 issue aired. The documentary was a sneak peak behind the process that went into creating the September Issue.   IN the documentary staffers are complaining about Sienna being  too  "toothy"  having "too many fillings" and "unruly hair". They even took her head off one picture and stuck it on another.

Sienna obviously didn't take it personally because she is back on the cover once again.

Jane Norman Clothing: Jane Norman SS 09

Jane Norman cup dress  Jane Norman

I have always  liked Jane Norman. Its one of the few high street brands that never dissapoints me. These images are from their Spring Summer 09 campaign. It's young, sexy, fun, fresh and very high on femininity. I particularly like the photo above with the blue embellished bust line and the snake print clutch.  Call me bizarre but everytime I see anything from Jane Norman I think of Regina George and the plastics from Mean Girls. They would so wear  Jane Norman.

Kendra Spears rip it up July

Kendra Spears is offically on the cover  of July  Dazed and Confused. About a month ago i posted a leaked version of Kendra Spear's  cover  that I was sent  by someone saying they were a "Dazed & Confused Intern"  but I was quickly asked to remove it by Mariano Vivanco's team as  it was just a mock-up cover and  was not meant for public eyees.

The official cover of Dazed  & Confused has now officially been revealed and the July 2009  issue features Kendra and the words on the cover read "Rip it Up: and Start Again". I am glad to see that Kendra Spear' cover came out as I thought that it  had been dropped. It is the best cover that Dazed & Confused has had this year.

Alex Prinz Interview: Confessions from the Prince of the Street

11 June 2009 7 Comments


Alex prinz joseph sinclair 3

Alex Prinz by Joseph Sinclair For EM Magazine
Alex Prinz's career really is heating up. He recently has been on the covers of Refresh, Manner and DNA. He was  also in the news  when he modelled the world's most expensive suit  by Alexander Amosu. He was kind enough to take out some time to do  an exclusive interview with us. After reading the interview make sure to check out his blog ( Prince of the Street) where you can get a sneak peak of the glamorous life of a male model. Special thanks to Photographer Joseph Sinclair for letting us show you this preview of Alex Prinz that he shot EM  magazines July Issue.

1. Tell us a little about yourself – (where you grew up, your life now – anything you wish to tell)
I was born & raised in the UK. But I have a mixed blood line, and family all over the world. Kind of convenient for me really, I usually do at least 3 trips a year to see my family, so on top of fashion seasons I usual get to visit Italy and the middle east.

Alex Prinz joseph sinclair 22. How did you get involved in modelling?
I was first scouted a few years back now. I was in the middle of my degree in London, and really didn't have the time to consider anything other than my work and my sport. But once university was done, I could really concentrate harder on my career in media. So I started out by joining a small agency, my first job was at London fashion week, and since then I've looked to grow and work harder and harder every day. Im just so lucky to be in an industry I love.

David Beckham for Emporio Armani Underwear Fall 2009

11 June 2009 1 Comment


David Beckham Emporio Armani new David Beckham's Emporio Armani Underwear ads were revealed just a few hours ago at Selfridges in London. The underwear ads were shot by photographers Mert and Marcus.

“I don’t mind taking pictures in my underwear. It’s when the pictures are unveiled, like today, that it’s a bit embarrassing.” - David Beckham

David has a great sense of style and is an inspiring role model – this is what makes him the perfect partner for Emporio Armani underwear. I am very excited that David Beckham’s new campaign image was unveiled exclusively in his home country and where better than at such an iconic retail destination as Selfridges,”- Giorgio Armani. 

Apparently, although there is a huge Tube strike in London thousands of people still managed to show up at Selfridges for the launch of  David Beckham's  Emporio Armani Underwear campaign. Talk about being die hard fans!!!!

What do you think of David's hair in the ad? Do you like the slick look?

Preen Resort 2010

Resort 2010 collections  are currently on display at Style.com. The latest offerings are from British design team  Preen and  Stella McCartney. Both preen and Stella McCartney have great collection. However, for resort wear Preen's collection is quite on the dark side. However the Preen Resort collection has lots of shimmering fabrics  so it detracts from the dark colour pallette and there are some  bright colours infused the collection (like the sexy pink dress above).

Bless Duo: Fringed Glasses

11 June 2009 No Comments


Sean opry wearing fringed glasses l'officiel hommesThe Bless Duo- Fringed Glasses really are getting popular. Ever since Beyonce wore Fringed Glasses in her Diva music video they have been popping up everywhere.

The most recent place  I have seen fringed glasses was in an editorial for L'officiel Homme. Sean O'Pry was photographed by Milan Vukmirovic wearing a pair of fringed glasses. These glasses are a bit more extravagant than the Beyonce version as they have got even longer chains ( and are practically unwearable).  I am not sure if the Bless Duo made these glasses but I expect to see loads of people wearing these glasses this summer as I think they are this years statement glasses.

There is good news and bad news for the fashionista kids in your life. the Bad news is that Ben Sherman is discontinuing there children's line, so you wont be able to dress your kids like mini Pete Doherty's anymore. Gone are the days of tiny tot's wearing Trilby hats.

However, the good news is that Stella McCartney , confirmed today that she will be creating two children's lines  for Gap Kids and Baby Gap. The collections will be available later next year.  Luckily, stylish kids will still have something to wear.

Christopher Kane 2010 Resort Lookbook

Christopher Kane Resort collection 2010 a Christopher Kane Resort collection 2010

Christopher Kane Resort 2010 collection

Christopher Kane recently shot the lookbook for his 2010 resort  pre-collection. The dresses  have very feminine, girly cuts but the prints on the dresses  are  very strong and impactful. They were inspired by pictures of nuclear mushrooms that Christopher Kane  saw on the UK Ministry of Defence's website.

"I wanted something natural, but I'm so fed up with florals," he explained in his London studio. "And then I came across these images of nuclear test explosions from the fifties to the seventies on the Internet. I like the crazy-bright chemical colors. The way they're sinister—but beautiful."

The model in the lookbook is Alla Kostromicheva. The full Christopher Kane lookbook can be viewed on style.com
