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.

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.

Critics unimpressed by Lohan's fashion debut

October 6th 2009 05:02

This is hardly surprising news: Lindsay Lohan's first collection as Emanuel Ungaro's artistic adviser was a complete disaster, with critics labelling the collection "cheesy and dated" and "an embarrassment" to the Ungaro brand. The 23-year-old's designs were shown on Sunday as part of the 2009 Paris Fashion Week, and according to The New York Times, left "several people in the audience aghast."

In the words of Coco Chanel

August 19th 2009 13:14

Arguably the most influential fashion designer of the 20th Century, Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel knew a thing or two about style, and wasn't afraid to share her thoughts with the world. Chanel remains one of the world's most successful and highly respected fashion empires, and while its founder passed away in 1971, her observations on the world of couture continue to hold relevance: they're so elegant and yet so very simple, just like the designs themselves. Here are a few Coco Chanel quotes that have inspired me; I hope they do the same for you.

Ten years of sass & bide

July 23rd 2009 13:49

What started off as two best friends with a unique vision and a passion for innovative clothing has become one of Australia's biggest fashion design success stories. Sarah-Jane Clarke (nicknamed 'Sass') and Heidi Middleton (you got it... 'Bide') launched their first collection in 1999 and, ten years on, have achieved international recognition and have a slew of high-profile devotees, including Mischa Barton, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Stars and the designers who dress them

June 4th 2008 04:18

Famous singers and Hollywood stars have got it absolutely made when it comes to what they wear. If you're an A-lister like Angelina Jolie or Katie Holmes, you've got designers lining up around the block wanting to dress you. Most of the time the stars get their outfits for free - one of the many perks of being famous - and many have formed friendships through their work with the fashion elite.

Remembering Yves Saint Laurent

June 3rd 2008 05:46

Yves Saint Laurent, who died last week aged 71, was largely responsible for the way modern women dress. "I wanted to put myself at women's disposal," he once said. "To serve them, to serve their bodies, their gestures, their life."
