meadham and kirchhoff.

While I was reading the latest issue of Vogue (British) yesterday (which was a really good issue, especially the article about a great photographer) I noticed this little snippet. I think the beautiful rough nude dress caught my on the page, as for ever i have been trying to scour the shops for a perfect nude dress, however no such look for me. Anyway, the dress is by Meadham and Kirchhoff and then I read FOR Topshop. This got me very excited as I loved there spring/summer collection (see below). I think I mainly liked it, for the signature base colour scheme, whites/nudes and blacks/greys however the beautiful texture and drapes and crinkles just blew me away. Also the unique structure on the trousers and dresses all topped off with black socks and patent brogues, as well as the longer hem line like Marc Jacobs also did. Although it says in the article they used their assistant for inspiration along with keeping their usual look. I tried to research about the latest collection, however there doesn't seem much about it, just stuff on their previous collection for Topshop and no dates in the article. Ah well I'll just keep my eye out. Although the price tags are pretty hefty!!

The spring summer 2010 collection:

Oh also I forgot to say about the film Date Night! It really is a hilarious film. I think it was good because we didn't know what we were expecting as we hadn't seen any trailers. I actually not a bad story line either. There was one scene in particular which was super funny however it also helps when there's one man in the cinema with a hilarious laugh!

This is beautiful new collection by Jenny Reyes, a Los Angeles designer inspired by music. Because of her love of music she travelled with bands and produced stage outfits. She scored an internship with the amazing Rodarte, which led on to her own line.

'This first collection reflects the joy of discovery and lifelong passion of a young designer who shows much promise. Consider this to be the beginning of a long and beautiful story.'

prom what a discussion.

Wow, imagine wearing a Giambattista Valli or Chanel to prom!

Prom has been a major discussion recently, in fact it as been so major i am almost sick of hearing about it. A while back i started thinks about different looks i wanted and saving images by designers and celebrities, hoping to find in the next few months an affordable one, or maybe one i could alter. But it seems that some of my friends have already in fact bought their dresses and this gets me little distressed. I actually want quite a simple yet weird dress but i thought i would show some of my 'dream' dresses. They are beautiful and inspiring in every way, that would make you want to dress up as a princess for everyday of your life. However i have also found some dressed by celebrities of how to mix it up a little for a quirky take on the prom dress.

First set: Alice Temperley, simple yet elegant, the first one has a delicate intricacy to the neck line which adds to the overall look and the second one i think the texture makes it interesting. Second Set: Erin Fetherson and Alberta Ferretti are two floral based collections. Erin's 09 spring collection are mainly printed designs of abstract shapes and flowers in hues of lilacs, whites and pinks. However Alberta Ferretti's Spring 10 collection (check it out its amazing) are in fabrics in smokey, flowy layers of embroidered floral, Japanese blossom type flower designs.

Thrid Set: Oscar De La Renta and Erdem designs. Beautifully simple lace detailed body con/fish tale dresses, from 2007. Erdem lace tiered dress in cream, i just love how they have added the blue crop jacket with 3d flower, it really pulls the whole piece together and the colours compliment each other. I have a bit of a neutral theme going on, however i doubt i will get a neutral coloured affordable one that doesn't look like a wedding dress! So i am thinking blues and purples.

I love to see how people wear certain things, and what they bring to an original item. Here we move from classic to contemporary quirkiness. Audrey Hepburn epitomises grace and the two dress pictures are simple shapes yet she wears them in way that makes her stand out. I don't normally look to movie stars for fashion style yet Zooey Deschanel always wear a great and interesting gown. i love the long tulle high waisted skirt Kate Botsworth has worn as i never think skirts are very formal, however this shows a new perspective and i love the colours. Anna Friel wears vintage graceful pieces, that almost transfer you back to their time period. Alexa Chung forever the fashion icon, in what looks like a simple blue prom dress, however with her lose hair, skull necklace and pumps just shows that its not the dress that makes the outfit its the person that shows you how to wear it. Kirsten Dunst's gets inspiration from Paul Poiret for her outfit number 2 and outfit number 1s intricacy is not to much with the lose hair. Finally Agyness Deyn and Mischa Barton who have added jackets (denim and leather) to toughen up their either simple or girly dress.
