Last Call: Kate Moss for Topshop
This latest AW2010 collection by Kate Moss for Topshop will sadly also be her last. After 14 collections, it does feel like the collection has passed its peak and it is time the style icon moves on to bigger and better things. She even looks like the big sister to the other girls in the video. It’s definitely time to move on….
One more day before you can view the full video on the Prada website, but here’s a sneak preview of the Fantasy Motionbook of their A/W2010. Ingenious marriage of art and fashion showcasing talents like Oma, Alexander Reichert, and Fausto Fantinuoli. Splendido!!
I can’t wait for the full video…. but wait, isn’t it a bit late to be launching a video for AW2010?!
Last week, Gareth Pugh surprised his attendees for his Spring 2011 show, by showing an 11-minute video instead of a runway show.
There were lots of buzz in fashion news asking if this would be the way of the future. Well, if you ask me, that will be the inevitable eventuality given what we see happening in technology.
Call me old-school, but I think there’s something quite special seeing actual living and breathing beings showcasing these talents pieces of art live. And it is just not the same seeing a perfectly crafted piece of film like Gareth Pugh’s video….
Fashion’s Night Out 2010 NYC - My First Ever!
With the excitement of New York Fashion Week which has come and gone in a blur, Fashion’s Night Out feels like such a distant memory… However, cutting and watching the footage all over again quickly brought back the buzz from the night. Street party meets shopping extravaganza!
This being my first ever experience, I started with a COMPLETELY, UTTERLY unrealistic list:
agnes b., Balenciaga, Bergdorfs, Chloe, Diane Von Furstenburg, Elizabeth & James, Opening Ceremony, Patricia Fields Boutique and rag & bone.
What I ended up covering were:
Opening Ceremony @Ace Hotel
Diane Von Furstenburg
Scoop
Stella McCartney
Tracy Reese
Marc Jacobs
Marni
The highlights for the night for me was seeing Alexander Wang and Diane Von Furstenburg (back of her head at least!) and a photo with Selma Blair.
We also ALMOST spotted Karl Largefeld, Kayne West and Heidi Klum in Soho.
Overall an amazing night and now at least I can say “Been there, done that and got the T-shirt!” :)
When I saw this interactive fashion editorial featuring Eniko, I was thinking to myself…
THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED!!!
It’s crazy cool how you can make your own fashion video, from picking your own track, choosing the video clips, recording the video and sending it to your friends, with just a few clicks on your keyboard. Something that is completely unfathomable just mere six months ago….
Try it! It’s seriously wicked.
A Great (Stylist) Weekend @Hester Street Fair
One thing I LOVE about New York City is you ever so often find the best fashion finds when you least expect it. You will be heading to lunch with a girlfriend and you chance upon an amazing sample sale, find the most incredible trinket shop in the most unlikely neighborhood, or pick up designer items for a song at a flea market. And Hester Street Fair is definitely one of those places where you are likely to stumble across these surprising gems, especially during their Stylist Weekend Event, where fashion insiders clear out their closets and put great fashion items at bargain prices. The treasures I found definitely made my day.
Even if you don’t pick up anything, the fair is still a great place to while away a lazy Summer afternoon.
And if you are one who need more fashion action, here’s a video on some more great ideas.
Enjoy!

1950’s Glamour
Fifties fashion has never been my thing. It’s a silhouette that I don’t think flatters my frame and also where I come from vintage is not exactly accessible. But for Fall 2010, they are coming back in a big way! Prada is doing it, so is Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi , Iceberg, Nini Ricci and even Paul Smith.
Seeing the trend hitting the runway, I have to say I am now a convert. And if you remain unconvinced, watch the video and I guarantee you will fall in love with this ultra feminine silhouette.
Christopher Bailey on my favorite ad campaign
In case you have been hiding under a cyber rock and have not seen the Burberry FW2010 interactive ad campaign, you should do it RIGHT THIS MINUTE and be blown away!
Now that you have seen the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G campaign, this is the video with Christopher Bailey (the creative genius!!) talking about it. But if you don’t even like the ad, I’d say don’t bother with the video. It’s nowhere as brilliant as the ad.
And if you like acoustic indie type music, check out the Burberry Acoustic Series on the Burberry Youtube channel.
Phoebe Philo A/W 2010 - Perfect [VIDEO]
This video has captured the essence of the latest line from one of my favorite designers, Phoebe Philo, perfectly, and of course the title “Perfect” sums in up… erm perfectly too.
Best fashion film I have seen in a while. The flawless cinematography, lighting, styling, direction blew me away. Perfection in a film.
Kudos to the film director, Ruth Hogben and stylist, Kate Shillingford.
