More Mouret

July 5th 2007 08:28
Only a few posts ago I was bemoaning the lack Roland Mouret in my life after that galaxy dress (worn rather well by Demi Moore). But Style.com has informedme that he has returned, view their article here.

And here's my favourites of the aforementioned collection.

Number 1.
Roland Mouret coat dress
From Style.com


Believe it or not someone has reinvented the coat dress. This cut is a new version of volume, the texture, shape and buttons are a symbiotic sartorial success. (Alliteration anyone?)

Number 2.
Roland Mouret white dress
From Style.com


This is an ideal cocktail party number, drink only white wine and eat only hummus and you'll be just fine.

Number 3.
Roland Mouret black dress
From Style.com


Yes this is an LBD but the hem is a conservation starter, the fabric is exquisite and the cut sufficiently avaunt guarde to travel from an art opening to an intimate dinner at your favourite hole-in-the-wall bistro with ease.

Number 4.
Roland Mouret coat

And finally does this remind anyone else of some vernacular fashion from, you guessed it, Balenciaga, but nevertheless it is stylish and I might attempt larceny were I to see some young thing traipsing about the streets in this ensemble.

Fashion blog diet

June 19th 2007 00:11
Fashion blogging, like most other blogging provides a forum for otherwise unqualified opinionators, like me. That is, except in the case of The Sartorialist whose blog has been listed by Time as one of the top 100 design influences. His images appear on Style.com and in Vanity Fair and his pithy comments and street shots are indeed a cultural record. He balances the male and female shots and favours the quirky or unconventional, those who don’t just follow trends but help create them. And his journeys to Berlin and Scandinavia, Milan and Paris provide a travel-poor Sydney-ite with the vicarious pleasure of the international flaneur.

Sex and Zeitgeists - The life and times of Vivienne Westwood

From Viviennewestwood.com


After visiting the Victoria and Albert exhibition which travelled to the National Gallery in Canberra a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with Vivienne Westwood. It’s not just that she’s sixty and has a beautiful thirty-year-old Italian lover, although that does impress me, and it’s not just that she’s been an inspiration for generations of fashionistas, mostly it’s because for Westwood, fashion is thought

It's all in the gams: Jessica Stam

June 7th 2007 00:42
One of the most striking models of the contemporary brat pack is Jessica Stam, a statuesque Canadian who has the kind of natural physique required for catwalk shows. She is indeed long and slender but there is nothing painful about the proportions of her legs or the position of her clavicle. My general rule is that if the knee is wider than the thigh there’s a problem but Stam is in proportion as you can see from the Stella McCartney show.

Black is invariably the new black

Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy

Although Coco Chanel was really the first to bring the black dress into the everyday wardrobe of the modern woman, its place was indeed cemented with Hepburn’s appearance in Givenchy during Breakfast at Tiffany (see Sisi's post) last year for more on that dress

Balenciaga, Vernacular Fashion

Gemma Ward Balenciaga

After using Balenciaga as an example in my white shirt post I remembered what a stand-out collection Nicolas Ghesquière produced for Fall 2007 collection and I was reminded by our very own (why are we so patriotic when it comes to beautiful people) Gemma Ward wearing Balenciaga at Cannes.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta jacket
Exquisitely detailed leather jacket


This is a brand to which I was largely indifferent before stumbling across some of their pieces on net-a-porter.com which is incidentally where these images come from. Their recent string of advertisements in British and American Vogue also helped. A certain wistful nostalgia resonates through the garments while an accompanying attention to detail and quirk of cut pulls them out of the average everyday
