Mila Kunis models for Christian Dior

January 9th 2012 04:26

How do you know when you've made the transition from starlet to superstar? When Christian Dior comes knocking at your door! Hollywood actress Mila Kunis has become the newest face (and body) of Dior, joining the likes of Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, and her Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman in the highly coveted position. And despite the fact that she calls herself a "jeans and T-shirt" kind of girl, you have to admit that she looks right at home in the role of Miss Dior.

Exquisite... an image from the Spring 2012 Miss Dior handbag campaign, featuring Friends with Benefits star Mila Kunis.

On the catwalk: Acid brights

April 4th 2011 02:53

After three seasons of nudes and neutrals washing out the runways, it was really only a matter of time before the fashion pendulum swung back the other way. Eye-popping bursts of acid bright colour have dominated the Spring/Summer 2011 shows, providing welcome relief to those of us who would rather stick pins in our eyeballs than gaze upon yet another beige ensemble.

The future's looking bright! Models showcase the vibrant fluoro colours of Christopher Kane

Is this the end of John Galliano?

March 4th 2011 01:47

The timing could not have been worse for British fashion designer John Galliano. Just days before his winter collections for Dior and his own eponymous label were due to be shown at Paris Fashion Week came the emergence of that now-infamous videotape, where the designer is clearly seen making drunken, anti-Semitic comments while at a bar in Paris. The repercussions were quick to follow: Dior has fired him after nearly fifteen years as the fashion house's head designer, he's been shuffled off to rehab to treat his alcohol-related problems, and will reportedly face a criminal court later this year for "public insults made against individuals based on their origin or their religious affiliation."

'I love Hitler'... John Galliano's racist comments made international headlines earlier this week.

The inspirational Stella McCartney

October 22nd 2010 04:33

It's hard to imagine that a world-renowned fashion designer and the daughter of a music legend could be so down-to-Earth, and yet, this is precisely what Stella McCartney is. The hard working mum-of-three (with another on the way) comes across as startlingly real for someone who works in an industry so firmly entrenched in elitism and fantasy: a personality trait McCartney attributes to her unexpectedly 'normal' upbringing.

'Unstoppable Stella': environmental activist, mother, and internationally acclaimed fashion designer.

John Galliano's bold colours

October 4th 2010 04:38

John Galliano made a splash in Paris yesterday with his Spring/Summer 2011 ready-to-wear collection, which was filled to the brim with vibrant colours, costume-like detailing and some seriously eye-catching accessories. Here's a selection of my favourites from one of the world's most influential fashion designers.

From the mind of John Galliano to the catwalks of Paris

Bridal gown meets straitjacket

September 16th 2010 02:45

This dress really takes the cake when it comes to unique wedding attire! American designer Jeremy Scott - who is renowned for his unconventional approach to fashion - showed off his latest collection on Tuesday at New York Fashion Week, in a show that had several audience members (including Kanye West) chuckling as the models sauntered past. Among Scott's designs was this wedding gown/straitjacket hybrid, complete with gold locks, cone-shaped breast detailing, and split-toed boots.

A crazy style statement if there ever was one

My favourite styles from the RSFF

August 25th 2010 00:33

It doesn't have the same glam factor as, say, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, but that's not to say that a fashion festival is without its merits. Right now, the Sydney Fashion Festival of 2010 (which also happens to be sponsored by Rosemount) is in full swing, with plenty of our favourite local designers showing off their most wearable pieces for the upcoming summer.

Key looks from the RSFF... from left: Lisa Ho, Alex Perry, Zimmermann, Willow, and Aurelio Costarella

Miranda Kerr plays a background role for Prada

July 7th 2010 12:37

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr has done her first ad campaign for Prada, and I have to admit that I was surprised when I first saw the photos. I've become so used to Miranda being a celebrity and an Aussie icon that I naturally assumed her role in the campaign would be front and centre... but as you can see from the images, this is far from the case. Miranda only appears in a handful of photographs and in one of the shots, half her face is missing! Not what I expected, but the ad campaign is gorgeous nonetheless.

Spot the supermodel... Prada's Fall/Winter 2011 campaign

The fabulous Missy Confidential

June 16th 2010 12:14

While many of us wish we could just waltz right into a designer store and buy up big, in reality there's very few among us with that kind of spending power. Usually, the best we fashion-loving folk can do is buy the filtered-down, chain store versions of what it is we've seen on the catwalks.... and most of the time, this is perfectly fine with us. After all, it's one helluva lot more socially conscious than buying some nasty designer knock-off!

Designer dress with a chain store price tag? Yessssss

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".

Alexander McQueen: dead at 40.

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.

Derelicte.... Zoolander style

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.

The designer who denied the Gaga

January 2nd 2010 10:29

Antonio Berardi certainly isn't one to mince words. "I wasn't interested in someone whose music is meaningless," said the Italian designer, when asked why he knocked back the opportunity to collaborate with the now ultra-famous pop singer Lady Gaga. "Her music is meaningless now, so what impact will it have in 20 years?"

Contrary to popular belief, fame won't get you everywhere!

Emma Watson to design her own clothing line

October 10th 2009 03:13

Well, sort of! The 19-year-old Harry Potter star has joined forces with UK label People Tree to create an environmentally sustainable line of clothing, aimed at the under-24 market. The collection is set for a February 2010 launch, with all proceeds going to the People Tree Foundation, a charity which aims to teach farmers and artisans about the benefits of sustainable fashion. Miss Watson served as the creative advisor for the design project, in the hope that she could bring the environmental and humanitarian issues surrounding the fashion industry into the spotlight.
