Posing down Miami way the co-ed crew of beautiful physiques played up to the camera and the results are titillating. Sex and fashion are again exploited though there seems to be little to do with the actual clothes in these snaps.

Certain to rile the paparazzi into a frenzy, Kate’s latest body flaunting exercise becomes another entry in a list that includes a topless stint for Victoria’s Secret (obviously not to peddle bras).

Ode to an Italian Dress

October 1st 2007 01:52
DOlce and Gabbana Summer 08 PAINTED BLACK DRESS
All images from http://eng.dolcegabbana.it


Flamboyant and theatrical, Dolce and Gabbana’s Summer 2008 collection is indeed replete with works of art. From the hand-painted fabrics, the obsession with intricate embellishments and details to the matte velvet lips, D & G invoke a Keats-ian realm - instead of a Grecian urn, this is my ode to an Italian dress

The Ultimate A List Accessory - the Parisian Baby Stylist (LINK)

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

For Australian residents, you’re probably hiding under a rock if you didn’t see any coverage over the last few weeks of the David Jones and Myer Spring/Summer launch shows. Megan Gale and Jennifer Hawkins were parading their respective stores’ wares and championing this season’s trends, sycophantically surrounded by media, buyers and designers alike.

After receiving an hilarious video link this morning, which some of you may have already seen, it got me thinking about the hazards of high heels. Here's the video....and prepare to have a giggle at someone else’s expense.

Electric Dreams - 80's revival

Dotti Outfit from web site
Love is a Battlefield - Dotti 80's Outfit - image from dotti.com.au


My father was in the fashion business, or rag trade as it's more commonly known amongst those who are part of it. He told me something when I was a young girl that I've never forgotten. That is, when a fashion from a previous time is revived and presented to a new generation of young women, it's always the crass, kitschy, and, well, daggy stuff that seems to come back. Cos really....if it's stylish and has class, it never goes away.

Continuing on with the 70's vibe that is edging its way into collections at the moment, the ideal dress for hotter climes has thankfully returned. Finally a style and fit for everyone, and a move away from the mini; there's something for everyone out there while this is hitting the celebrity pages and catwalks worldwide.

Jaakan: Melbourne's sultry little secret

June 21st 2007 00:10
Jakaan logo
From Jakaan.com.au


Up and coming Melbourne label Jaakan has only been around for a few seasons but already their favouring of beautiful fabrics and playful attention to detail has made me quite a fan. And yes, their logo is of a little boy peeing - a satirical contrast to their clothes which, despite a cheeky sense of humour are still not quite so crude. There is no mention of the inspiration for this logo on their website but luckily for the conscience of the average inner-city pinko leftie (guilty as charged) they refuse to use sweatshop labour
