Australian officials think Calvin Klein is sending a dangerous message in their new advertisements for the brand's X Jeans. The ad in question, which has been banned all over the continent, features a scantily clad Lara Stone cavorting on the ground with three male models, also in various states of undress

Personally I think the Australian Officials have gone too far, It's an eye catching Ad which is bound to cause some sort of controversy but that's what good advertisements do, in order to differentiate themselves from other jeans brands that currently dominate the market such as Levis, they publish though provoking adverts to generate awareness and leads to consumers buying products.

And when was the last time you saw a Calvin Klein model fully clothed ?
I doubt they would sell as many bras if it wasn't for Eva Mendez and Megan Fox being Practically naked spread across billboards all over the world.
So pipe down and enjoy the eye candy on display!

Tea with uncle Karl?

Mrs Birtwell

I loved her Topshop range in 2008, and Celia is back again with original prints and designs from the 60's except this time its far from the highstreet price tag.
Celia Birtwell the label that defined haute hippies everywhere, has just launched its eagerly-awaited online store, where shoppers will be able to buy vintage Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clarke pieces from the original designers for the very first time.

The designer couple’s son and daughter-in-law, George and Bella Clark, opened the virtual doors to the new Celia Birtwell online store last week. Each vintage piece sold comes with it’s own unique certificate of authenticity and a print taken from Celia’s original sketches – the perfect collectors item!

LOVE

LOVE is a twice-yearly compendium of inspiration - for designers, for artists, for anyone looking for visual ideas; for anyone who loves fashion and design so much that they want to climb inside the heads of their heroes.
Fashion is part of a creative cross-cultural dialogue and, for this reason, LOVE opens its readers to the most exciting developments in music and art as well as fashion to reveal the shape of tomorrow's aesthetics in its purest form

This "Glamorous" issue, has been hard to put down! Jaw dropping shoots with the worlds most lovely ladies including Agness Deyn sporting her newly shaven head and bridge piercing, and raunchy shots of Liv,Lara and Alexa to name a few

OMBREOMBREOMBRE


I've been deabting weather or not to ombre (or dip dye) my locks for a while,
and after sitting in my fashion lectures for the past few weeks in a sea of ultra blonde hair,
I decided it was time for a change!

Ashish - Topshop

Didn’t receive your Paris Fashion Week invites or just can’t afford the Eurostar fare? Take a rather shorter trip down to Topshop for Ashish’s cheeky new collection of slogan sweatshirts and jersey tees emblazoned with GCSE-friendly phrases from ‘Parlez Vous Anglais?’ to ‘Bisous Bisous’( My current wardrobe favorite), breton stripes and ‘Bonjour’ fronts with ‘Au Revoir’ backs. Très bien

BIBA FEVER

Original Biba designer Barbara Hulanicki  has claimed that House of Fraser's prices are 'too expensive' for the new Biba range that has recently arrived in their stores. I have to agree I was a little disappointed when looking at the price label attached to items. Barbara Hulanicki  claims that they have completely ignored the essential point of the original Biba style and cheap pricing. The original Biba was the quintessential shop of the swinging sixties offering clothes for the general public that were affordable and a key part of the throw away aesthetics at the time.

However House of Fraser has missed the boat on this important fact with a pair of Biba Stretched Denim Lola jeans setting you back a pricey £60, a Jersey Tie Front Dress a money grabbing £70 and a Biba Black Skinny Sequined Scarf a staggering £45 or a Maxi-length Leopard Print coat a whopping £360 it is no wonder that Barbara Hulanicki is disappointed in the House of Fraser's relaunch of her brand.

However good news for all of you that want to get your hands on a piece of modern Biba, at an affordable price (as a student myself this is essential to my student budget living) Barbara Hulanicki  has promised that she is too relaunch a low-priced line for ASDA. This line will be launched in November and will consist of 12 designs. “The prices at ASDA are just amazing,” she told Drapers. “These will really be Biba prices. F*** you [House of Fraser].”

Girl Crush




I have just discovered this video where Alice Dellal  put her Palladium boots on and explores an 18th century Georgian house in the heart of Spitalfields and an empty warehouse space in Shoreditch. It's fun to see her wandering around these abandoned places musing on the music she likes, her idols and what inspires her. I could watch my girl crush all day.

P.S

There is also a secnd Palladium video with Daisey Lowe- so have a peek at that one too for some more quality babe viewin
