Bye Bye, Miss America Pie. Make way for Miss Hot Lips, one of the industry’s most sought-after model Lara Stone. Photographed by Steven Meisel, Lara Stone is the new face of Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign. Creative Director Marc Jacobs was looking for “modern, iconic, sexy beauty” and he found Lara Stone. Excellent choice, I say. “It was a wonderful shoot,” continues Marc Jacobs. “Doves were flying, the atmosphere was sexy and magical, and the result is a set of images that are desirable, colorful, whimsical and, of course, luxurious.” In this campaign, Lara Stone channels Brigitte Bardot as she sprawled beautifully on a bed of moss, fern and doves. Featuring the “metallic Monogram canvas and sun-bleached Monogram denim bags, furry foxtail charms, hardware-inspired jewelry and wooden clogs embellished with rustic tufts of fur”, this ethereal ad campaign definitely looks better than the last season – at least to me. Do you like it?

Keep your studs & chains because it’s all about acrylic and crystal degradé bracelets for Spring/Summer 2010. Spotted on models at the recent Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2010 womenswear catwalk show in London, these bangles were inspired by innovative interpretations of classic Burberry icons including the trench coat and trademark check. The check acrylic and crystal degradé bracelets are immensely beautiful in fumed shades of pale rock trench, pale rock anthracite, pale rock pistachio, pale rock pink and pale rock willow. If you ask me, I find these bangles pretty classic like the Burberry label. Classic choices never goes out of style. I’m sure you’ll be seeing them around pretty soon.
Paris Fashion Week is heaven. I noticed something similar about the Chanel Spring 2010 RTW and Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 RTW: CLOGS. I don’t know about you but I was like, “Really?” I really like the Chanel versions but the fringy, suede peg-heeled LV clogs, I don’t know. I really really dig those new Chanel stockings with ballerina lace details! And, that chain-like garter belt, So awesome! You’ll be hearing these clogs banging away on pretty marble floors before you know it. This is what the good people from style.com said about clogs, “If it’s good enough for Karl, bring it on”. I think they’re cute! Now, where are the cheaper alternatives?

Bonjour, it’s Paris Fashion Week! Gareth Pugh, fashion prince of darkness, is back with a softer side. His front row boasts big names such as Rihanna, Michael Stipe, Terence Koh, and Adrian Grenier from Entourage. This time, his designs are more floaty and less structured like last season. If you ask me, the models look like anime characters. Villians or Superheroes? You decide. I am quite curious to see where he got his inspiration from – manga? anime? I am thrilled that Pugh has moved on from his hard, shape silhouette to a more romantic side – it’s like a breath of fresh air. You can easily see for yourself.
The Long…
… and Short of Gareth Pugh.
Things you can do with paper shredder. I’m just kidding.
Metallic goddess.
Now, this is what I call the “superhero” look.
OOH, LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Do you think this is appropriate office wear? I’d like to wear these to work.
The guys were not spared by Pugh – lookin’ sharp, boys!

Let’s go back to basics. Because Nike bringing you back to where it truly started: SPORTS. Nike Sportswear was launched in Fall 2008 with a product line that blends the best of Nike’s near four-decade long sports heritage with the latest design and technical innovations. There is nothing more intriguing than a good product – and I believe Nike constantly pushes its boundaries. Not to mention, I just got a pair of limited edition Nike shoes from the Wisma Atria flagship store.
This season, Nike Sportswear shows you where it truly belongs, where passion meets competition:
Purple is the new Black, really.
Can you see those beautiful colours?
I’m digging zebra prints!
This is sooo money.
Who’s this chick? I’m crushing on her.
I want a locker full of Nikes.
Ooh, nothing stands out like pink against black.
I wonder if Bubster will embrace yellow.
Opt for timeless white.
This is perfect for yoga. I’m still seeking for yoga classes/teachers. HELP!

Elizabeth and James, is the pet fashion line by the power-house twins, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and they’ve just launched their Spring ‘09 collection. Let me say, I am totally in looooove with what they have in store! If you like a hint of menswear, you’re going to be blown away. Elizabeth and James‘ neutral colors and feminine separates were shaken, not stirred with a little bit of playfulness. I’ve to say I’m intrigued and I want more.
I’ll stab you with my heels.
Trigger happy summer.
I’ll push and you’ll play ball.
Bittersweet, innocence.

Twilight bug has bitten NZ fashion designer, Karen Walker in her latest eyewear collection called “Celebrate Sun” for Spring/Summer 2009. I first blogged about Karen Walker here after my last trip to NZ. Her quirky, crazy sunnies continuously win me over and over again – now I really want a pair! The idea behind this campaign is to “induce even the most sun phobic to bask”. Pretty awesome concept, I must say. Imagine vampires frolicking in the sun with their Karen Walkers. I wouldn’t dare say, “Ditch your Raybans!” but I think Edward Cullen is going to rock these sunnies. Give the vamp some bloody style!
