Jimmy Choo for H&M




OH MY GOSH! Those were my first words when I came across this glorious piece of news.
Fashionistas, fashion enthusiasts… whatever you want to call them, they all know of the shoe god that is Jimmy Choo. A brand which is coveted by many, Jimmy Choo has carved himself a niche in the shoe industry, which results in everyone – and I mean everyone – wanting a pair of his expertly designed shoes. As one of the CBL shoe gods – Choo, Blahnik, Louboutin – every shoe-a-holic would trade in their prized possessions to be fitted into Choo’s designs. The shoe god’s have answered their prayers.
The luxury company has announced that they will work with Swedish high street store (and king of designer collaborations) to create a line of shoes and bags.
But this isn’t the first designer collaboration by H&M. The popular store has taken the likes of Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli and Karl under their wing, as well as Madonna and Kylie Minogue.
Tamara Mellon, president of Jimmy Choo, said: “We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too. Jimmy Choo will bring to H+M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!”
Shoes… Bags… all that’s missing are some rocking clothes. Not to worry, Jimmy Choo is designing a range of clothing to complement the to-die-for accessories.
Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor of H&M, said. “I like the way we have worked with clothes to accessorise the shoes and bags rather than the other way around. This collaboration is particularly exciting because it’s our first shoe designer collection. It’s a joy to be able to offer top end designer shoes and bags of excellent quality to our customers.”
The collection is due to appear around 200 H&M shops worldwide on November 14. The collection is predicted to sell out in record time, so heels at the ready girls… There’s a fight ahead. Let the best shoe addict win!

Emma Watson for Burberry





Dark, smoky eye makeup… windswept hair… A far cry from Emma Watson’s more atypical attire of wizard robes. Her latest incarnation it seems is the face of designer heavyweight and British fashion label, Burberry.

Now, I’m very interested in designer housing produce, I work in a internship for modeling agencies for Chrsit's sake. There clothes are glorious, but that’s expected. Smaller designers usually tickle my fancy (and my purse) more. But after seeing Emma Watson~ the wizard I grew up admiring – posing for Burberry, I was ecstatic.
The 19 year-old actress utilizes her grown up, sophisticated look, as she models items signature to Burberry, sporting the iconic Burberry check instead of the flowing Hogwarts robes we are used to seeing her in.
Growing up in the public eye, the Harry Potter actress has been reserved and sophisticated. From being the face of Chanel, to wearing Alexander McQueen on the red carpet, and modelling in fashion publications, Emma Watson has solidified her role as a style icon, at such a young age.
Christopher Bailey, Creative Director of Burberry said: “Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign. Emma has a classic beauty, a great character and a modern edge. Her charm and intellect and brilliant sense of fun made the whole shoot feel like a picnic on the Thames.”
Shot by renowned fashion photographer Mario Testino, directed by fashion prodigy Christopher Bailey and modelled by style icon Emma Watson? This generation’s fashion talent was at full force as the campaign was shot in Westminster, Central London, where the brand recently moved headquarters. With the River Thames distinctly present in the background, Bailey aimed to capture a ‘wonderfully historic part of London’ to reflect the history and modern take present in the brand.
A collaboration of old world heritage and budding young stars captures sporting perfectly tailored trench coats is bang on target! Emma Watson has definitely captured the essence of a Burberry campaign, with a touch of magic and je ne sais quoi!

I however beleive Emma Watson also wows us all as a model, actress, and fashion icon!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson


I'm so in sorrow! Out of respect for the King of Pop, R.I.P. michael Jackson. His voice was chosen to be the opening of a portion of Jean Paul's fall/winter show one year, and the Jean Paul Gaultier Magnifique fall/winter the same year! The song he was famous for, "Thriller" specifically! I'm shocked he passed away! Here's to you Michael!

Alice in Wonderland Supermodel plays Alice, Fashion Designers play Characters in Vogue's Alice in Wonderland



































Annie Leibovitz shot these pictures of Natalia Vodianova as Alice in Wonderland, posing with a collection of amazing designers in October U.S. vogue 2003. This Vogue story is rather old, but I'm so excited about Tim Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland film, I think it's going to be perfect! This model isn't my favorite, I rather like the young models practically undiscovered with awesome personalities that u have to search for but can find with determination.... and of course a few fashion supermodels like Coco and others, plus ones whose names aren't dropped around like "Heidi Klum"s name is, kind of like Ana and her some of her friends, plus the more famous ones like Gemma Ward and Stam!
