Window shopping at Selfridges

The latest window displays for the shopping Mecca Selfridges is half art installation, half game. Each window represents a song; guess the songs correctly and win £500 worth of Selfridge vouchers.

First window: OOOH I just don’t know….they have signs which read SINGLE and they’re all LADIES. I’m stumped!

Australia’s S/S 2010/11

The shows were fresh and fun with styles for everyone.

For the body con lovers there was Ksubi with its super tight, laser cut outfits.

For those missing the beloved Luella there was Kate Sylvester who showcased the most adorable outfits. Girls were sent don the runway in collars as necklaces, (she must have read my earlier blog!)

I think my favorite was Arnsdorf. The palette was muted and there were definite undertones of Chloe S/S’10. Everything looked like a modern classic. There was a young fun side though. Models came down the runway in diamond printed tops, dresses and skirts. It was almost a tribute to the late McQueen who was famous for his jeweled prints.

Detachable Collars?

On the Italian Vogue website I stumbled across a truly favoloso (Italian for fabulous, I think, probably wrong,) cover (see it here http://www.vogue.it/en/magazine/vogue-gioiello/2010/02/cover-gioiello-january-2010) . It gave me such a brilliant idea, detachable collars. Instead of updating your ENTIRE wardrobe for each new season you simply buy and attach the latest collar. This instantly updates your look.

With the thanks to Photoshop & Abby Lee I have been able to put my inspired/strange idea into practice. Do you think it will catch on???

Hello & Welcome

My first year of my fashion related degree is coming to a close. With no assignments to vent my fashion fixation I have decided to start a blog.

Enjoy my fellow obsessive’s.
