Asos.com - You can dress like a star!

July 4th 2008 00:30
Imitate the Stars with the celeb-shop

Asos Sienna Miller Dress
The Sienna Miller Dress


I’m a little behind the tube skirt on this one, I only just read about ASOS.com the other day. A massively popular fashion outlet site that retails affordable wardrobes modelled to the ones celebrities wear on camera and at glamorous gala premieres.

Liv Tyler/Lindsay Lohan tunic


There a wide range of choices on the site and when searching for that next perfect dress you can do it by designer or celebrity. Skirts, blouse’s gowns, jeans, sunglasses, shoes Knitwear, jewellery etc, everything you need for any occasion.

movie star clothes
Gwen Stefani glasses, Jessica Alba Shoes and Victoria Beckham dress


On the front page at the moment you an click to purchase the Sienna Miller or Keira Knightley look from the film Edge of Love. Try a Victoria Beckham dress, and some gladiator sandals from the Sex in the City Movie. Or more casual with Eva Mendes jeans and a pair of Lilly Allen shoes.

[ADVERT]
Not just for the girls the site also has a host of clothing for men too, though it doesn’t have the famous names being dropped. Guess guys just don’t like to mimic those that the paparazzi obsess over?

This simple concept has seen ASOS lavished with awards and according to dailymail.co.uk in the last 12 months profits have doubled, proving it to be a dominant source of global online fashion.

So next time your reading some trashy magazine or watching E channel. Spot a starlet cruising in a gorgeous ensemble or something more laidback cool and you must have it, then ASOS is probably going to become a reflex action for you

Autumn Trends

September 26th 2007 16:33
Its the holy grail for every high street fashion chain boss - take the cream of the best catwalk designs from London, Paris, Milan and New York and turn them into speed chic, affordable fashion that flies off the shelves.

In the golden years of Haute Couture (1947-1957) Dior, Fath and Balenciaga had a one month publication ban on all images of their runway, as the exclusive sale of one calico toille to a Ready to Wear house was often enough to fund the beginnings of their next collection; Those caught sketching in public faced public prosecution. Today copying is rife, and it seems that not an Australian Fashion Week goes by without another young designer being accused by the media of copying

Tristan Blair - What Else!

September 11th 2007 17:56
It's fair to say after trawling boutique after fabulous boutique in this beautiful city, there is noone aside from Massarro of course, who quite puts the same shine on a pair of shoes than Australian Designer Tristan Blair.

He is elusive, demure and completely humble about his creativity. I once attempted to help him source a shoe manufacturer in Brazil. He had become great friends with a man and his chicken in Bali and was loathe to change. Given my experiences in working with Brazilian timeframes I can understand why. Nothing quite happens fast enough in that country. Needless to say in a Summer that sports cotton candy and casual style you cant go past his new collection "Wonderful Armour

The Ultimate A List Accessory - the Parisian Baby Stylist

September 9th 2007 15:28
We have all seen the power of the stylist. Before we knew it, Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe had Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson all sporting drapey gowns over wispy thin bodies. One journalist touts that its only since Celebrities and Designers realised that revenue could be bought in from red carpet photographs, that the Stylist has forged a position in society on par to a Publicist and Celebrity Manager. They are THE ultimate accessory and Celebrities today dont leave home without them.

A new super power has emerged with the baby boom among CEO's, Supermodels and Hollywood's A-List - having on call one's very own Parisian Baby Stylist. I had the pleasure of catching up with the name in every starlets Little Black Book - Laetitia Lerouge

A Strange, New World of Accessories

September 9th 2007 07:07
I don't know when it happened, but the humble accessory, once an interesting pair of earrings, has morphed into strange objects of vogue. I blame this on the co-habitation of the Consumer Culture and the Technological Age. Their love child is Consume-Tech, the dirty beast that requires people to have things, not out of interest or appreciation, but because everyone else has it. You know when someone says, "I'm going to the shops. Would you like anything?", and you feel the urge to make a request, but you can't actually imagine an object in your mind? That is a symptom of the cultural atmosphere of today: you simply must have something, anything at all.

One object that people feel the need to update update UPDATE is the mobile phone. Apparently, for one to be stylish, one must purchase an updated version of these gadgets every two months. I am therefore a total dag, as you can't even get a new battery for my phone and it was only released two years ago. Today's phones hold a microcosm of your world: your address book, your camera, your photo gallery, your video camera and associated home movies, your mp3 player, a radio, navigator systems, mirrors and they may even make phone calls too. It can't be singularly planed either - it has to flip, slide or rotate. Call me Aunty Mable, but I just don't get why something that is hidden most of the time is considered more desirable than a pair of Christian Louboutin's

Confessions of the cloth

August 27th 2007 13:02
How long did it take you to get dressed today? I had planned what to wear today well in advance of tucking myself into bed last night. Of course, nothing ever goes to plan. I had chosen a Kinki Gerlinki tent dress with puff sleeves, made of alternating thin stripes of red and blue wool. It has Impressionist style tapestry flowers over it. Oh man, I love it. I usually wear it with a black cardigan, as the dress is enough on its own, but today I was just not content with said cardigan. I then spent the next half an hour trying to figure out what to cover my arms and their goosebumps with (I eventually settled for a black fitted spencer underneath). Trying to sleep through the wardrobe bangs and groans of despair, my boyfriend was witness to my little "episode". He was also witness to a much more panicked, and altogether (with the benefit of hindsight, of course) pathetic case of 'I have nothing to wear' a week earlier. This one lasted an hour, and as a result, I was late to university. Yes, readers, I was freaking out about what to wear to university.

When I admitted to a friend the shames of my shallow life, she confided that she too has days where she feels so uncomfortable she wants to "get off the train and go home". Her self-conscientiousness is also a result of the perils of attending a city university (but to be fair, she goes to a university dedicated to art theory, history and practice
