Topshop SS Lookbook

The most inconsistent lookbook I have ever seen. SS11 for topshop looks crazy. Not sure I'm a massive fan of the over-styled hippy/70's goer/minimalist mash-up but alas it does look interesting. There are a few items I like... particularly the white minimal cut-out maxi dresses/ the printed maxi skirt or flares with slits (Who knows)… the pale blue cut out hot pants/  bright blue leather shorts/ orange dress with a maxi train/ the shorts with the orange strip/ the pale green shirt dress and the red leather skinny trousers! Meh so maybe topshop will be getting some of my money this season.

Versus presentation in September 2010.

Its all about Christopher Kane for me. Even his translation of Versace's, Versus collection is incredible. I love how he has restricted his colour palette to 3 key colours in order to not over complicate. Their is so much detail to the dresses, to many colours would have ruined the effort-less feel. I love the quirky presentation, he was quoted saying they were not quite ready for a full show. I personally think this is a much more considered approach. Not completely dis-simular to presentation I part-organsised for my final degree project. (I will post pictures soon).

Female Inspiration

As a tribute to Emmanuelle Alt becoming Vogue Paris Editor in chief, I wanted to take a look back at this women's incredible fashion career and impeccable style.

A world-renowned and respected fashion stylist, Alt has worked as fashion director under Roitfeld for the duration the 10 years of her editorship. 

She began her career in 1990 atElle - becoming fashion director aged 20 (UNBELIEVABLE) - she became fashion editor at the magazine 20 ans in 1993.

 

In 1998, Alt - whose sharp, Parisian style has made her a favourite of the street style bloggers at the international catwalk shows - she joined the magazine Mixte as a fashion editor, before departing for Vogue Paris in 2000.
