Hervé Léger by Max Azria SS2010

Super body conscious, braiding, crochet, plaits, denim strips, tie die...it was all part of the sexy 'bare your legs' collection. White, - my fave colour (or should i say non-colour) of the season, and other neutral shades, grey/green tie dye and black and blue were used. I loved their last collection, of bandage-stripped swimwear. This is an evolution from that - with dresses that are both blacktie, but could be worn with leather jackets or made more low key and grunge. Love it.

Wild Hair!

French born l'enfant terrible and hair maverick Charlie Le Mindu's latest collection on the London catwalk was, well, pretty crazy - but the hairdresser who began a career cutting hair in Berlin nightclubs and moved to London over a year ago, exhibited pretty some amazing looks. His career has skyrocketed and he's even done special edition looks for Barbie, been a muse for accessories designer Tatty Devine, and exhibited several collections of his wild 'looks'. Check out the shots below, truly artistic and visually stunning, but get me to a salon, I don't think so...

Sorbet Colours and Reef Knots...

Just in,.. Burberry Prorsum's SS2010 range which sparkled as it ended London fashion week yesterday. Usually shown in Milan, designer Christopher Bailey brought it back to London, and his front row was abuzz with the likes of celebrities such as (face of winter campaign) Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Daisy Lowe, Mary-Kate Olsen, Freida Pinto and Victoria Beckham. Bailey made Burberry fresh, and younger - and brought to London a range that still touched on the iconic Burberry shapes such as the trench coat, updated and re-worked with reef knot twisted fabric detailling. Overall a beautiful, youthful range that I would HAPPILY wear every single piece of...

Spring Summer 2010: Proenza Schouler

Inspired by activities from their childhood that was youthful and fresh, - skating and surfing, partners Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough have created a range that is very eye catching and edgy. The prints alone are eye popping, - not hippy tie-dye but rather acid wash and interesting animal prints and textures. Tropical fish, peacock feathers, animal skins, you name it...very cool.
