Gaultier Transformation - Diet Coke's new creative director

2012-03-09T12:41:00.000+01:00

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER has been appointed Diet Coke's new creative director. The iconic designer will bring his unique take to the design of the brand's bottles and cans, and will play a starring role in three new promotional films - where he will play a therapist, a journalist and a detective.

The couturier will also help develop concepts for the company's advertising campaigns, retail events and new online projects.  However, it is his short, very funny, films that will first showcase his work for the brand, which are available to watch now on the Diet Coke YouTube channel and on its

Paris Fashion Week Fall 2012 Street Style

2012-03-03T12:57:00.001+01:00

The old adage that a smile is truly the best accessory has been proven  this week in Paris, where flashes of teeth and playful grins added  endless charm to street ensembles. Hanneli Mustaparta had fun  with fashion, blithely winking as she pretended to sample a Kate Spade  chocolate-bar purse, while outside of Balmain, model Aline Weber looked luminously happy, her smile an unexpected complement to her punk-inspired jean shorts and leopard-print Dr. Martens.

IN model land, this season belongs to Cara Delevingne.  Karlie, Joan and  Arizona may have impressed us with their cumulative show presence in seasons past, but it is the London girl Cara who has truly cemented herself as autumn/winter 2012-13's star face.

Just in: Suitcase – A Novel Furnishing Idea

2012-01-15T23:56:00.001+01:00

Above, Recreate’s suitcase chair in Revrobe Cameo Blue.

The minute I chanced upon these upcycled suitcase chairs by interior design shop Recreate, sitting all packed up and pretty in a far corner of the internet, I developed a severe case of the ‘I want you’s.’ Who would have thought that vintage-suitcases-turned-chairs could be so feverishly good-looking? Sadly, these superbe suitcase seats come with a price tag I really can’t justify, so in hope of curing my desire of it I’ll just sit and ogle.

LOST IN A MARY KATRANTZOU DREAM LAND

2012-01-04T13:14:00.000+01:00

These images contain a lot of my favourite things.Bright colours? check.Exotic Prints? Check. One of my favourite designers? Check again! They might look like photographs, but each of these beautiful pieces has been painted by the incredible Erik Madigan Heck and shows one of Mary Katrantzou's lust-worthy designs. After photographing the collection himself, he dedicated his time to producing hyper-real images, bursting with colour and painstakingly artworked by his own fair hand. I can't imagine a better way to showcase Mary's unfathomably pretty pieces and now more than ever can't wait for her amazing Topshop collection to touch down. Roll on SS12, and hurry up!

LOVELY BONES

2011-12-06T22:12:00.000+01:00

When I stumbled across these sweet yet ghoulish images of embroidered x-rays, I instantly wanted to find out more. They are the work of Philadelphian artist Matthew Cox, who actually stitches onto the x-rays to create these quirky and original pieces of art. By adding layers of flowers to the images, he subverts their original purpose, taking something clinical and turning it into something beautiful.

He says the x-rays symbolise the masculine world of medicine and technology and he was inspired to add the traditional craft of embroidery to fuse the masculine with the feminine. I'm completely fascinated by these eerie embroidered skeletons and can’t wait to see what Matthew will come up with next.

PERFECTLY KITSCH

2011-12-04T11:46:00.000+01:00

I love anything that brings the word kitsch to mind! So as you can  imagine, when i laid eyes on these life-size taxidermy-esque sculptures  by artist Frédérique Morrel i had to share them with you

Inspired to create her abstract, yet stunning menagerie after her grandmother’s needlepoint of a wild boar hunt was thrown out after she passed away, each one is made up of expertly sourced vintage tapestries. I really adore how once wrapped around the artists fiberglass animal-shaped moulds, these old-fashioned textiles have a whole new lease of life.

Which one’s your favourite? Mine has to be the baby dear – it brings Bambi to mind!

The Bouclé Skirt

2011-11-28T11:07:00.000+01:00

Texture takes a starring role for autumn and the skirt has been remixed  in a whole host of statement-making fabrics. From leather to latex,  feathers to fur, these are clothes to excite the senses.

Referencing the likes of Bottega Veneta and Donna Karan for inspiration, don't be afraid to experiment. Throw out the old rule book and try new, eclectic mixes like this Giambattista Valli  boucle skirt with neon flashes. Accent with a cropped sweater or a simple print shirt,  supersized jewels and a colour-pop clutch for the sleekest silhouette.

HAIR LIKE CANDY

Charlotte Free's Candy Hair

With the nights drawing in as Autumn fast approaches, the best way to stay bright is with the one trend that refuses to go anywhere - candy-coloured hair! As seen on one of my favourite models (the one and only Charlotte Free), pink is my shade of choice. I don’t know about you but it’s making me weak-at-the-knees.

The key is to go for as sugary-a-shade as possible. Take tangerine, lavender and blush hues as your starting point and then create your very own candy coloured combination.

From Hair to There: Get to Know These 1940′s Hairstyles

2011-10-11T11:49:00.000+02:00

Borne up by a wave of inspiration after watching the 1940s hairstyle video, above, I landed with the thought of writing a blog post on ’40s hairstyles. So, I’ve straightened out some research and banged out a few ’40s-era hairdo definitions for ya!

Chignon — The hairdo seen in the video at top, the chignon is marked by a low bun and upswept sides, and can have many variations.

Omelet Fold — This  ‘egg-ceptional’ hairdo features a  slightly off-center part, rolled up  or folded up sides, and, if  desired, a decorative arrangement of curls on top.

Queue Curl —  Sure to get one’s hair in line and  lookin’ fine, this pretty style  boasts rolled and folded up sides, a  slicked down middle, and a slightly  teased or curled back.

Victory Rolls —  This successfully stylish ‘do and  trademark of the pin-up and  rockabilly aesthetics exhibits rolled up  sides that sit high atop the  crown toward the front of the head. The  remaining hair can be pinned up  or worn down. The name for this  hairstyle comes from a maneuver executed  by fighter jets.

Which of these ‘dos makes your heart ‘flyaway?’

Forties GlamourThis is a full-glamour trend, revolving around the pencil skirt

THIS autumn/winter 2011-12, designers including Frida Giannini at Gucci, Miuccia Prada, Jean Paul Gaultier  and Donna Karan
 have  ushered in a season of sheer Forties glamour, complete with furs, pearls, gloves and shrugs - all revolving around the pencil skirt.  

Donna Karan runway 2011 GoRunway.com

Hemlines have dipped to a strict - yet feminine - on-the-knee length that is at once conservative and very alluring. "This collection was about the empowerment of women," says Donna Karan in the August 2011 issue of Vogue. "Their words of wisdom and their ability to be strong and take a stand without giving up their femininity."

Jean Paul Gaultier runway fall/winter 2011

Gaultier kept it sexy by adding a revealing thigh-high slit to pencil skirts, while Jonathan Saunders steered away from a predictable interpretation through the use of unexpected colour combinations.

While Giannini, at Gucci, distilled all the glamour of the decade into her show with fedoras and pussy bow blouses thrown into the mix,
