Margiela meets a bleeched out sporty Miu Miu Fall 2OO8 RTW with a similar nudist colony colour pallette to Camilla and Marc. Powerful women: Delilah and Cleopatra are the inspiration, and Myf was just the figure to encompass the essence of strength. It began with simply cut beautiful shirts, but it was towards the end [...]

Long legs like a pencil sketch of the ideal woman. A tomboy with the stare of a young girl ready to kiss behind the shelter shed. Signed to IMG and Chadwick young Vanessa Milde is right on the border of super status. I remember her sport socks Petrol Station shoot for Russh as my friend [...]

Australia is a country obsessed with sport. So it is hard to believe that the Tourism Board has invited two of the most influential fashion bloggers- Garance Dore and Scott Schuman from The Satorialist on an all expences paid trip Down Under for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Tourism Australia aims to work with these key influencers to convince fashionable others [...]

prediction: new designer slash model

Some say the new Cory Kennedy, others ask is she a model or just a rich party girl, no matter what there is a definate loud noise around Tallulah Morton. Such that I believe with her thrown on elegance and her close proximity to fashion designers at the adidas party such as Jeremy Scott and [...]
