CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Awards

Coco Rocha

Lily Donaldson and jewellery designer Waris Ahluwalia

Jessica Stam


Chanel Iman and Thakoon


Alexa Chung and Jason Wu


I particularly love Coco Rocha and Jessica Stam's outfits; they're two models who is my eyes always get it right. Coco really rocks the whole red lips / Morticia Adams-esque hair look - even though I did love her as a redhead.

Lady gone Gaga?

If there were ever a character to split the fashion realms, it would of course be Lady Gaga. I've never known a celebrity to create such a divide; she is literally like Marmite - you either love her or hate her.

I've always been a fan because she continuously comes out wearing something different - whether its designer or not.

However, her latest public outing at MOCA's 30th Anniversary Gala has left me a little confused. I'm not so keen on the Frank Gehry hat (it's a bit too papier-mache for my liking) and the bodice looks like Christopher Straub's newspaper creation from series 6 of Project Runway.

But (and there's always a but) I love the chandelier inspired Prada skirt and the eccentric blue make-up. Blue make-up - whether it be on lips or eyes - always reminds me of young children trying out eyeshadow for the first time, but I think she wears it well.

Overall, I'm still not 100% on this look, but no one's perfect.

From the Runway to Rihanna

At the Glamour Magazine Women of the Year Awards in New York on Monday, Rihanna traded her tough get up for a bit of Stephane Rolland couture (above). The dress looks really good on her; the pleating, the fishtail and the colour - it makes a nice change to see her in something a bit more feminine.




This Jasmine di Milo dress from SS10 also looks stunning. I love how the dress is draped and yet structured at the hip; again I prefer the dress on Rihanna than the skinnier models (I'm normally all for the skinny minnies of the runway, but because there's always one exception, right?)

The Young, The Free & The Untamed

Royal Mail pretty much ruined my life last week. No birthday cards, no The September Issue and no weekly delivery from Love Film. Bad times.

So yesterday morning I was more than happy when the latest issue of Dazed & Confused arrived on my doorstep on time, for once. The 'Wild At Heart' issue features the lovely Abbey Lee (I'm not obsessed, honest) and a great editorial featuring the Nine Daughters and a Stereo boys.

The interview with Snoop Dogg (page 128) is actually really interesting and for a, err, insightful read try There Will Be Blood (page 124) - I'll let you decide for yourselves.

The Last Magazine; Abbey Lee



Abbey Lee is a goddess. These photos from an editorial in The Last Magazine (out now) show her scantily clad and mind-numbingly beautiful.

Kristen Stuart: Girl Crush




I really, really REALLY want this issue of Interview. Kristen Stewart caught my eye in Into The Wild and now she's been catapulted into superstardom thanks to the Twilight films.

It's no bad thing, she's incredibly beautiful and doesn't take any bullshit (check out Dazed and Confused October issue). I can't wait to see her in Adventureland and the new Joan Jett epic; although I'm so not keen on the mullet (please god don't make the mullet 'Springs essential hair cut')

She is perfect for fashion and I think this photoshoot explains itself wordlessly.

No Explanation Needed










The shoes. The detail. The clothes. I'm lost for words, quite literally. McQueen has done it again. I'm already obsessing over shoes which I'll never be able to afford, but, isn't that the point?

"McQueen's message throughout was essentially sunk into the short dress—a steady development of his engineered sea-reptile prints, worked into a nipped-waist, belled-skirt silhouette. The colors—first green and brown, moving to aqua and blue—were exceptionally executed and swagged, and molded across panniered structures. Each dress was a work of computer-generated art crossbred with McQueen's couture-based signature cut." - style.com
