Designer vs. High Street

Talk about my jaw dropping when I saw this! One of my favourite looks from the Versace Spring/Summer 2012 show has been recreated by high street favourite River Island! The look features in the latest lookbook from River Island which has some seriously HOT pieces for the season.

Affordable fashion – what’s not to love!

Versace Spring 2012 Campaign

What do you get when you combine the world’s most famous supermodel, Gisele Bundchen with Versace? The term “bringing sexy back” comes to mind!

Shot by Mert & Marcus, the blue-tinted campaign features Gisele in a Versace Spring/Summer 2012 leather studded skirt and top and towering heels – a return to Versace’s iconic flair. Now as much as you may want to, I wouldn’t advise anyone to step into a swimming pool in those heels or in that gorgeous studded leather ensemble! I mean you won’t look as good as Gisele to start with!

First Look: Versace for H&M

A sneaky picture from the Versace for H&M look book has leaked and it has me itching for November 17th to roll around already! Versace’s favourite model of the moment, Abbey Lee Kershaw, is pictured in some patchwork chinoiserie and bold gold accessories which are totally signature Versace!

The 40-piece womenswear collection will feature studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewellery. The 20-piece men’s collection will feature sharp tailoring, including the perfect tuxedo, as well as belts and jewellery for men too.  And as revealed early this year, for the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will also consist of some homeware pieces!

So excited! I’ll bring you more news on this collaboration as and when I get it!

An Unrecognisable Paris

I just did a double-take. Is that really Paris Hilton? Photographed for V-Magazine’s “Transformation Issue”, Paris hardly looks like herself!
