If you're sick of wearing metallics and stripes, and sequins just look sad, then it could be time to embrace the hottest new look on the celebrity circuit: digital prints! These bold, computerized patterns look fabulous on dresses and leave little need for further accessorising. Wear them with monochromatic shoes, a subtle handbag and a confident attitude, and your look will put you light years ahead of the rest of the fashion pack.

Digital prints
Bold, edgy and very modern

Is Gemma Ward's career over?

February 17th 2010 09:00
The fashion industry's skinny obsession appears to have claimed another victim. Aussie supermodel Gemma Ward, who shot to stardom as a teenager for her ultra-thin, waif-like figure, has begun to look... well, just a little bit too normal. At age 22 her figure has filled out, and as any high fashion model knows far too well, gaining weight is a surefire way to ruin your career. But is it really Gemma's time to kiss her modelling career goodbye? Or does she have the staying power to pull through?

The fashion world in mourning

February 11th 2010 23:47
I awoke today to the shocking news that British fashion designer Alexander McQueen had been found dead in his London home. He was 40 years old, and his death appears to have been a suicide. Tributes have already begun flowing in from around the world, with fashion's elite describing the passing of the avant-garde designer as "devastating".

Who's that girl?

February 10th 2010 23:02
It's Stefani Germanotta, of course.... better known as Lady Gaga! Last week when I wrote about how the singer's crazy outfits were becoming passe, I searched far and wide (well, as far and wide as the Internet will allow) to find a classy photograph of her, to no avail. But suddenly, here it is: a highschool yearbook photograph of Miss Germanotta from 2004.

When crazy becomes passe

February 3rd 2010 07:14
Anyone who watches the Grammys knows that the fashion choices there are meant to be a bit left of centre. This year was no different: we saw giant puffy arm ornaments, Britney Spears without any pants, and dresses that were half-mini, half-maxi (worn by Jennifer Lopez - no surprise, and designed by Versace - hmmmm). And of course, Rihanna in her fashion-forward frocks and Lady Gaga rocking the weirdest looks she could find, because hey, she's Lady Gaga and that's what she does. But rather than being inspired by the symbolism of the wacky outfits, or even amused by the absurdity of Grammys fashion, I found myself feeling rather.... numb to it all. The apparently 'crazy' outfits had become dull, tedious, and boring. And it got me thinking - at what point does the crazy become passe?

Vivienne Westwood goes derelicte

January 29th 2010 02:10
Menswear is not my forte, however I just couldn't resist posting some pics from Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2010 Men's Collection, which was presented at Milan Fashion Week earlier this month. Inspired by society's down-and-outs, Westwood lined the catwalk with cardboard boxes and sent her faux-filthy models out wearing a variety of ensembles that included (but were not limited to) ill-fitting shiny jackets, jeans tucked into football socks, torn leggings, kilts, poorly tailored suits and random bits of fur.

Given that 2010 has only just begun, it's a big call to say that I've already identified its tackiest trend. But let's be real for a minute here: how much tackier can you get than having your underwear on show for all the world to see? I'm sure that designers like Christopher Kane, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, and Jean Paul Gaultier had a classier interpretation in mind when they first introduced their boudoir-inspired collections in 2009, but unfortunately certain celebrities have latched onto the trend and morphed it into something else entirely. It seems that for some, it's just another excuse to have their knickers on display, and worst of all is that this trend has been tagged by multiple sources as being the hottest look of the season.

Celebrity underwear as outerwear
Paris Hilton? Tacky? Surely not.

You wouldn't believe it if I told you, so here's the photographic evidence: Lindsay Lohan has attended a post-Golden Globes shindig looking absolutely amazing! Her skin was clear and glowing and her eyes luminous as she showed off a fabulous hooded, long-sleeved minidress from designer Brian Lichtenberg.

Jimmy Choo... and UGG?

January 19th 2010 23:18
Now this is definitely one for the "wtf?" files - legendary shoe designer Jimmy Choo will be joining forces with none other than UGG Australia! It's probably the strangest collaboration since LiLo and Ungaro (and we all know how well that worked out) but Jimmy Choo's president Tamara Mellon believes that the Chugg designs will be nothing short of a rip-roaring success.

Okay, so they won't be called 'Chugg'. I made that up.
