New LG Fashion 2012

one of the first shows that was shown at LG Fashion Week in Toronto for the Spring 2012 season was JUMA.

New Model Ver. Meet Lana Del Rey

LANA DEL REY is the music name on everyone's lips: her first UK gig sold out in 13 minutes; Christopher Kane and Emilio de la Morena chose her music to accompany their spring/summer 2012 shows; and her debut single, the beautifully haunting Video Games, has already had over two million You Tube hits - despite only being released this week. "I had no idea about the fashion shows," she told us. "But I think they chose Video Games because it embodies summertime sadness. Fashion is inspired by youth...

New fashion Ver. ALBERTA FERRETTI

ALBERTA FERRETTI continued the story of covert sexiness that we saw a lot of in London last week, this afternoon offering cocktail dresses with panels of sheer nude fabric interspersing juicy jewel colours of emerald, saffron, fuchsia and coral - it was almost as if the colours themselves were tattooed onto the body in geometric markings. More modern and less girly that she often prefers, Ferretti took a Twenties slant too – it’s fast becoming the decade to look to for spring/summer 2012 - and...

 NOTE to self and to anyone else who wants to go to a Louis Vuitton show – always arrive in plenty of time. At one minute to ten this morning, the doors were closed, no exceptions, leaving lots of bemused and cross and slightly bereft fashion journalists outside. Those who did get in were greeted with a set that was just as huge in terms of headlines, preparation and considerable spend as we saw in the Grand Palais for Chanel yesterday morning, and like Chanel, this was a pale wonderland –...

Lacoste

Felipe Oliveira Baptista’s first full collection for Lacoste incorporated luxe elements while staying true to the sportswear soul of the iconic French brand. The co-ed show focused mostly on women’s, but we got a glimpse of his new direction, which mixed sportswear and tailored pieces and featured cool cotton blazers and hooded anoraks. The palette consisted of crisp white, navy and royal blues, and military green with some subtle color blocking. Structured blazers were paired with...

New Lab Editions

Number: Lab We’ve had our eye on this brand since designer Luis Fernandez and co-founder Greg Lawrence launched in 2007. Known for fusing athletic-inspired clothing with tailored pieces, their Spring/Summer 2012 collection, shown at the Standard Hotel, was inspired by the French Riviera in the 1930s and skateboarder style.
