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….
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:
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….
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.
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.
I was actually planning to produce an “About et coupez” episode and put this up after, but I am just so excited so I’ll just go ahead and post this and do the ‘about’ one after. :)
Kelly was super nice (in a mumsy meets punk way) and she signed each and every one of our books with personalized messages. I even got a greeting for et coupez from her on camera! Thanks Kelly! :)
In this episode I have also included two other fashion personalities that I adore, Grace Coddington and Garance Doré. They have been for great inspiration for me in both their fashion visions and their incredible personalities.
Enjoy!

p.s. Pls let me know (kindly and nicely pls) what you think of this vlog post. I love to hear from you. Pls comment or tweet me.
I started this vlog as a personal project to combine my 2 passions: film and fashion. Actually make that 3 to include digital media, my new-found passion. With years of experience in TV commercial production where projects involve huge teams of production crew, I find vlogging an exciting space where I can produce everything myself, the entire production team rolled into my size 2 (size 4 on a fat day) body.
Plus I am not a fan of these fashion haul videos out there, and think surely I can offer something better that people would want to watch. Well, I may be completely wrong… so we'll see.
