Love Brigade Fall 2008: Love, Kurt

Love Brigade is this hip, cool Brooklyn label that just launched their Fall collection called, “Love, Kurt”. A tribute to the amazing Kurt Cobain. The muted hues of maroon, black, grey and brown for the Fall 2008 line is sleek yet chic which I absolutely love. I like the innovative use of buttons and strips of fabric to create a unique silhouette for the body. Check out the fabulous look book for both men and women by Love Brigade:

Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu Fall ‘08

Johnny Depp dates hot women. That’s all I can say. Here’s a first look at Vanessa Paradis in the Miu Miu Fall ‘08 ad campaign, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in Los Angeles. After taking the throne from Kirsten Dunst, the fashion house says is, “yet another interpretation of the Miu Miu woman”.

Do you love the scuba-inspired collection? I’m not sure I like the bag that she’s carrying. I wouldn’t consider an “IT” bag. Maybe it’s the colours.

Preview: H&M 2008 Fall Collection

As time gets closer to my birthday/HK-trip, I’m quietly sneak a peek at H&M 2008 Fall Collection. And of course, plan my shopping ahead of time! Fall/Winter collection never really applies in Singapore - which explains the extremely hot weather we’ve been enduring over here. However, Fall/Winter also means ‘holidays’ to cold countries towards the end of the year. Tokyo, here I come! In the meantime, I promise you won’t be disappointed with H&M’s new collection. And, are you anticipating Comme des Garçons for H&M Fall 2008?

Colour Me Beautiful
Colour tights! Yes, we’re not getting enough of long, colourful legs. Model, Heather Marks looked really cute in the mini dress with black blazer and high-waisted skirt with pink trench coat.

Knitwear & Socks
Knitwear is a Fall staple - unfortunately, I have sensitive skin and it itches me crazy. I like the boots and blood orange sock with high waisted tulip skirt. Love the stack of bangles too!

Mens Inspiration
Here are some unusual twist to men-inspired cuts for women. I like the idea of giving the look a different texture and silhouette with a burst of bright orange and green. OMG, I want boots.

Geeky Cute
I love that tube-top with the dotted lines! Not too sure about pairing it with wide-leg pants though. I need geeky glasses and did I mention BOOTS?

More Knits & Wide Leg Trousers
You can get pretty inspiration for office wear during the cold season. I love the ultra-high boots… lol and the print flare top. It’s very feminine yet chic.

Look Right
Long dresses are still hanging around. I like how Heather wears flowers on her wrist. Also, we need some hats! More jackets too.

I Want I Want
I want 50s-inspired poufy skirts and bring in more stripes! It seems like ankle boots are sticking around and we’ll have more to shop for!


Love Long
Don’t you love the oriental-inspired top and trench with a bow tied at the neck. So feminine and unique at the same time. Goodbye summer, and hello rain/snow/autumn!

Mary-Kate & Ashley: Elizabeth + James Fall ‘08

There is something very ‘Gossip Girl’ about the Fall ‘08 collection of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s line, Elizabeth+James. I could almost see Blair, Serena or Jenny walking in these. Nylon got the first look at the affordable, younger clothing line by the designer twins. So, does Fash-E loves this collection? We shall see.

Described as, “trust fund babe goes to a rock concert” - so true. The famous duo is trying to give Henry Holland a run for his money with this uber-cute tartan mini skirt. It is probably my favourite piece from the preview I’m seeing from Nylon. I can imagine this on lil’ J or one of her snooty entourage member.

Why do I get a Kate Moss vibe from these? I love the bleach blonde they used for the photoshoot. The slouchy boyfriend wardrobe and high-waisted pants are definitely “in” according to the twins for Fall ‘08. Everyone is playing with the androgynous look. We can expect to see more grey “lines” between the gender divide.

I like the peacock motif at the back of the green tartan jacket. Skirts are definitely short this Fall ‘08. We see a mixture of girly and tomboyish-chic from the girls. Are they great designers? I guess they’re alright but we haven’t seen the best from them. With their sense of style and guidance from professionals, rich teens will be rushing to the stores for these ‘overpriced’ items.

We say, “Leave them to the trustfund babies”.
