1 Skull = Mad(e)

Long-limbed, English-Rose, Alexa Chung has gone all Eco-friendly on us, unveiling a lovely bones jewellery collection for fair-trade company Made. With skull motifs emblazoning gold and silver chains, her stylish hand and resplendent imagination has really made this environmentally friendly company one to keep your peepers on.





Grungy but flirty, statement and stylish, yes and please!!

Footwear Lookbook

Not only do stilettos medically improve stuff in the bedroom, they make even the stumpiest of legs long and slender whilst injecting the owner with that "I'm hot, you're not attitude". So there is surely no girl who would pass up the chance for a pair of these bad boys?!- My favourite footwear this season, I love love love

The Olsens put pen to paper

With forty video-titles, sophisticated high-end fashion line, ‘The Row’ and a multi-million dollar merchandising business under their belts; beloved acting, modelling and fashion moguls the Olsen twins continue their formidable assault on the world - by turning their hand to literature and releasing a coffee table book named ‘Inspiration’.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen estimated to have a net worth of $150 million each, have described their latest endeavour as “Celebrating the most interesting, challenging and creative people we know”. The stylish duo who are icons universally have handpicked high profile characters such as French shoe designer Christian Louboutin, actress Lauren Hutton and photographer Terry Richardson to contribute. Mary-Kate said, “We have interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope they will inspire and teach others”, and with a wide variety of never-before-seen photographs of the sisters, together with exclusive personal interviews, I predict a sell-out of this tome before it’s even hit the shelves.

Sophomore NYC

Chrissie Miller and Madeleine von Froomer are a force not to be reckoned with. The collective who have churned out effortlessly cool Sophomore NYC, have made even avant-garde dressers reconsider how subtly tweaked classic items can be shit hot.

Obviously recognising the enormous success simple street wear label, American Apparel has been enjoying, SNYC has jumped on the bandwagon with its quirky takes on wardrobe basics. With a sensual look book reminiscent of the 1995 film 'Kids' and with its beatnik '70s flare (the fashion world’s favourite era this season), I have no doubt this collection is going to have worldwide dominance!

A/W 2008/9 lovelies

House Of Holland
Nostalgic of Vivienne Westwood's Highland collection, House of Holland revived punk's synonymous tartan but in last season's trend for lots of purple. Aggy's impromptu eye patch will surely become a fashion must-have alongside Holland's fetish for everything Scottish



The flirty ra-ra skirt carries through the rockabilly vibe from S/S 2008



Henry knows just what a girl wants- a little black dress, plenty of gold and Coco Rocha!






Jeremy Scott
Never one for understatement, Scott's latest collection takes fabulously constructed dresses and turns them into living room peripherals. I particularly love the Rolls Royce body con number and despite not being a fan of prints, I wouldn't mind a Jeremy Scott book shelf in my wardrobe.










Lanvin
I'm not sure what I liked more about this collection- the monochrome palette (I love black), the disgustingly Ab-Fab use of fur and leather or Alber Elbaz's dimensions! A little too conservative for my wardrobe right now, but fast-forward a decade, and this power-laden collection will be all I crave










Betsy Johnson
My favourite collection of the season- A big rocker/hippy/80's leotardic romp! The je nais ce quoi which many of the collections this season lacked, Betsy Johnson made up for in bucket loads











I loveeee.
