style me up hans feurer!

love the work of stylist hans freuer, very classy with the use of a sophisticated colour palette.

little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

photographer phil poynter

roberto cavalli has done it, matthew williamson and patricia field have done it..now it it's nathalie rykiel, daughter of sonia's turn to create the new bottle for diet coke.

fab..though i think i prefer matthew williamson's!

i am blown away with the photographic work of lina scheynius...the shadows and uses of light are amazing to me, and i love the grainy effect. definitely going to keep an eye out for this talented atrist

she is now displaying a collection of 100 of her polaroids taken in 2007 and 2008 online..they are truly beautiful

j.crew collections nyc

new york

when i was in new york earlier this year, i fell in love with j.crew collections.

the attention the detail in store was so impressive and the product range was stylish, sophisticated yet fun and 'glitzy'

the soft colour palette with hints of metallic is spot on this spring

come to the UK?

alberta ferretti

spring 2009

spotted these alberta ferretti ad campaigns in vogue, and i think they are absolutely stunning. the detail that has been taken in the whole setup and composition is incredible and i love the soft colour palette used for the garments in contrast with the fairly gothic make up. the movement of the flapper dresses yet the intense stare with the models on the right hand side creates an atmosphere and the third model gazing into the distance. 

for the one on top, the lines and geometries in which the slender models make really conveys the era so well. 

really beautiful.

banksy

well..one of the coolest people around, obviously! controversial i know, but in the art world and younger generations he is adored for his creative, street flair for graffiti world wide. 

i like the fat rat

he's rather cute

i shall look out for him and his other rat friends dotted around new york when i go out this easter

frank tell spring 09

this guy has got style! solid colours and shapes, frank tell enters the fashion world with punch. i particularly love the consistency of black boots throughout collection, and the simple yet successful shapes used, it reminds me of my own wardrobe 

again,a very wearable collection..i like.

charlotte ronson

hot stuff for spring 09

love the simplicity of the colour palette and the thought out details in the garments. the whole collection looks really wearable, i'd love any of these in my wardrobe. really beautiful

another talented member of the ronson family!

what a face

ahhh yes! i'm quite a lover of visual retail merchandising...it can make a shopping experience and with the costs that some designers charge for their products, i reckon the least they can do is make the shop a desirable place to be! last week i was in a british department store and was so disappointed with the presentation of the shoe section, it was bland and boring to say the least. this, this however is great..minimalist yet fun and shows off the product well.
