Daisy Lowe For Morgan

Okay, so here's a real sneak peak at Daisy Lowe's range for Morgan. Only being released in France (with prices ranging between 25 and 349 euros). Lowe says she'd been approached by many English brands, but they wouldn't give her enough creative input. So that's why she's decided to go with the French. I think this could be one to look out for! Heard it may also be up for sale online! So you don't have to be in Paris to pick it up!



Sass And Bide

Alright so word on the street is that Australian brand Sass & Bide are looking to set up their first UK street store. I love their use of monochrome print and pattern. Sighting their main influence as Dover Street Market, i'm really interested to see what comes up! Take a look at a few of their current pieces!

Jean Paul Gaultier Fall Couture Collection

This homage to 50's Parisian fashion with clinched waists, different cuts, turbans, red lipstick and cigarette holders is great! Those turbans always remind me of gypsy's at the fair. The strong use of black and gold works really well, i love the cut aways on all the pieces. He utilises lots of materials; sheer fabrics, with a bit of Gaultier lingerie detailing (it'd be impossible not to!), silks and satins. So Karlie Kloss stole the catwalk! But then one last surprise from Gaultier! Dita Von Teese appeared at the end for a special strip show!

Chanel Fall Couture Collection

If you haven't heard about the huge lion at the Chanel couture show you've been living under a rock. Karl Lagerfeld has got a real great balance between heavy fabric dresses, built in, what i'd refer to as, block layer. And his light dresses with use of tulle and such. I think there are parts that remind me of John Galliano's floral inspire Dior couture collection. Such as the delicately embroidered flowers and the petal shaped layers. To be honest i can't really do either the Dior or this Chanel collection justice in one paragraph and five photos. So i pray you look both up! (Even if it is just to see the gigantic lion!)

Dior Fall Couture Collection

So apparently for inspiration/research John Galliano spent an hour watching how the light changes on the petal of a tulip. Amongst other flowers and aspects of nature. I think his attention to detail is pretty impressive when you see these dresses! From the ways the fabrics fall, rise and gather. From his use of delicate light fabrics, tulle, silk and chiffon (not how the chiffons fade from dark to light). He even used florists plastic wrap as head pieces! Such a great collection!




Zoe Saldana Calvin Klein Underwear Campaign

So Zoe Saldana joins Lara Stone, to become the new face of Calvin Klein's underwear campaign, replacing Eva Mendes. Just two things about this photo. 1. Her eyes look amazing. So props to the make-up artist. 2. Does her chest look a bit odd to anyone else?
