Don't miss Burberry Prorsum live!

Burberry Pre-fall

If you just so happen to be a hopeless insomniac, like me, make sure you don't miss the Burberry Prorsum a/w menswear show direct from Milan at 3am (AEST) tomorrow! If last season's show is anything to go by, we're in for a treat. Pieces will become available to order immediately after the show. Watch the show online here.

Au revoir Carine!

After 10 years as editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, the most effortlessly chic woman in the world, Carine Roitfeld, has stepped down and made way for stylist Emmanuelle Alt to takeover. Emmanuelle has been fashion director at Vogue Paris for as long as Carine has been editor. Carine will be sorely missed, but I hope she stays in the industry because I don't want to stop seeing pictures of her impeccable style! Vogue Paris is in capable hands with Emmanuelle having been appointed the fashion director of Elle magazine at age 20!

Emmanuelle is probably one of the only people I've seen who actually talks sense when interviewed after a fashion show:

Androgyny is in... Again.

It would seem androgyny is making a comeback in the fashion industry, but this time the designers have brought out the big guns. The Daily Beast describes Andrej Pejic as having Cindy Crawford's bone structure, and Kate Moss' body. Yet, this gorgeous model is actually a 19-year-old Serbian boy. Pejic is the new face of Marc Jacobs, and I think he's going to have an ah-mayzing next few seasons - after all this androgynous beauty can do both menswear and womenswear. Versatile much?

Pejic follows in the footsteps of a transgender model with equally razor sharp cheek bones, Lea T. Lea was Riccardo Tisci’s assistant at Givenchy, and was shot for the label's F/W campaign. We've all seen Givenchy's Haute Couture collection pics (second below), Lea is the pretty model in white lace. 

Here's a video to introduce you to model extraordinaire Andrej Pejic:

Remember when I used to have a blog?

It's been a nice holiday break, but after such a long time of crazy vodka-fueled nights, endless re-runs of the Rachel Zoe Project and epic failure in all of my new year's resolutions within a whole three days, I figured it was about time I got back to my blog. More to come.

Lanvin for H&M Womenswear Revealed

The Lanvin for H&M womenswear collaboration has finally been revealed, and it is just as impressive as the menswear line. The pieces definitely mirror some of Lanvin's previous main line collections - think f/w 2010 jackets and coats - so you know it's good! Below is a selection of the best pieces, see here to view the full line. The collection is available online at hm.com from 23 November.

Lanvin for H&M Menswear Hits Earth

The long-awaited Lanvin/H&M collaboration has finally arrived. The menswear range exceeds my highest expectations, and with all 40 pieces priced from £14.99 (AUD $24) to £149.99 (AUD $240), I'm even more impressed. The oversized bowties are quite obviously modelled off Lanvin head designer Alber Elbaz's own style, but the metallic shoes are definitely the stand out. I'm a slave for a good trench coat, and Lanvin's latest is certainly no exception. The collection is available from 23 November at hm.com - FIY, that's the same day I officially begin hating Australia for not having H&M!

China International Fashion Week

Umbrella cocktail dress by Liu Lili.

China pulled out all the stops for the International Fashion Week held in Beijing last week. I don't know what to think of the umbrella dress above by a designer called Liu Lili - but it sure has a bit of edge to it - I can definitely see it worn in the streets of Harajuku. There was also a leather design competition held during fashion week, and China churned out some pretty amazing pieces there too. More pics below.

Long Live the Queen!

Kylie performing in Emilio Pucci dress and Louboutin heels.

I don't know that Pop Princess Kylie Minogue has officially graduated to Queen yet (hurry up and die, Madonna - totally kidding), but her latest bout of promotion for new album Aphrodite has sure got her flirting with the top spot in my book!

The fashionable Miss Minogue donned an Emilio Pucci s/s 2011 dress and those amazing Louboutin spiked heels to a charity performance in front of the pyramids in Egypt last week. Kylie performed in Mexico a few days later in an Anna Dello Russo-esque (that is; feathers and super short) Mark Fast s/s 2011 minidress.

Here are a few of the many performances Kylie has put on in the last few days. I love the Get Outta My Way routine on US Dancing with the Stars and the In My Arms performance in Mexico is so fun.

Orgy of Shoes!

This post is really just an excuse to show some sexy shoe pics, but I thought I'd talk a little on summer/winter shoes since it's coming into summer now in Australia, while the fashion world is still in its Autumn/Winter season.


I really love the thigh-high boot as a winter shoe. This one is Burberry Prorsum (but of course!). They may look a little skankalicious just on their own, but I think they look super glamorous when you wear them with a trench coat or long jacket, in the style of the Burberry catwalk below.

Another trend that I don't really understand is the shearling obsession. It may just be because I live in tropical-climate Australia where we basically don't even have a winter season, but I do see the practicality of shearling I suppose. What I do love for winter is the mountain-style heel. Above is Burberry Prorsum combining the shearling and mountain styles and below is a pic of the incredibly cool Alaia shoes, posted at Sea of Shoes.

Coming into the s/s season, I still really love the wedge as a summer shoe. I'm pretty sure this is stemmed from my obsession with the show Weeds, and the teeny shorts and high wedges of Mary Louise Parker's character. The wedges above don't really give that summer feel, but hey, they're John Galliano and they're sexy!

The studded pumps above are Christian Louboutin - Kylie Minogue wears the gold version in her video Get Outta My Way.

I really love the shape of both the heel and the toe of all of these blue YSL beauties.

Noritaka Tatehana has a Swarovski crystal version of his Night Makers available on his online boutique and they are amazing! Could you imagine walking around in these babies? Lady Gaga eat your heart out!

I discovered these Dsquared2 skeleton-heeled shoes ages ago, but I'm so lazy I didn't bother uploading a pic. I think they are so edgy

It's Made of Chains, Darling!
