Live the dream...
...if you can afford it.
I was just googling the possibility of owning my own Cinderella-style glass slippers and, lo and behold, Mr Margiela has gone and made it possible. IF I was willing to part with $2, 580 (or $1, 277 for a single shoe).

A podophiliac's wipe-clean dream.
Le Maison went and made these limited edition treats two years ago so chances are they're all snapped up by now, by some insane rich bitches with a fairytale fetish. Damn. Who's betting Daphne Guinness has a pair stashed away somewhere?
Pradarama
Video campaign for Prada's SS11 collection
So the dancing and music is incredibly annoying (I think) but the sunglasses, stripper shoes, stripes, and furry snake stoles are sssssssssssublime.
Anger for Missoni
I know this is old news (it was made for the Autumn/Winter 2010 ad campaign) but I've only just discovered it today. Kenneth Anger for Missoni.
Because the Lady Loves... Pam Hogg
Just a few pix to show off the wild and wonderful personal style of Ms Hogg.....
Matchy-matchy with Dame Viv.
In black at Alexander McQueen's Memorial.
At the NME Awards with Bobby Gillespie.
In a gorgeous powder blue coat at the Whitechapel Gallery.
In one of the most fabulous fur coats... one of her own, I think (?)
I'm sure I've posted this picture before, but it's a favourite.

Bygone Fashion
Just discovered a great livejournal style blog, Bygone Fashion. Here are some images by the photographer Mark Shaw who shot some of the most classic and elegant fashion photos of the 1950s/1960s and was also known for his documentation of the Kennedys home life.

In the Company of Wolves
Just a few images I managed to get from standing on a table at the back. The hair and make-up team did a brilliant job again.
Zobop
This is relatively old news, but I just discovered it today:
Necklace by Matthew Williamson, inspired by the work of Glasgow artist Jim Lambie. Created as part of Williamson's collection for Atelier Swarovski and featured in his SS10 runway show.
ISSA
Time for another wordy post. I always get in the habit of updating with some pretty pictures when I can't think of anything to say, but I'll try and summon up some musings today.
Issa isn't a label I know very much about (but things gonna change) but when I was indulging in my main hobby of 'browsing internet for nice pix' I came across their A/W 2010 catwalk collection and boy is it ME all over..... Feast your eyes:
Red lips? Check. Oversized shades? Check. Shiny shiny leather? Check. The classic movie star-style headscarf scaffolded by the towering quiff is so perfect I could maybe squeeze out a small salty tear. At the moment I may be suffering a fringe but in the past I've always been a s.t.a.u.n.c.h devotee of the quiff/shades/lippie combination.
The 'Q/S/L' when combined with the black headscarf reminds me so much of fashion designer/writer/filmmaker/muse Diane Pernet. Her white skin and kabuki-style black mane set off by a veil and impenetrable shades hae become her trademark and made her an instant favourite of mine.
So, even though the end of Summer fills me with dread (even more so this year - this will be my last EVER 'school holiday' as I'm going into my last year at university. Next summer will be filled with the fear and loathing of having to get a job and enter the real world), the appearance of the A/W clothes in the shops never ceases to excite me. I'll be stocking up on headscarves, cape-like jackets, leather opera gloves and layering different textures of black in true goth fashion. I can't wait - and because I live in Scotland I probably WON'T have to wait very long.......
Til the next time I'm feeling verbally inclined! x
Mulberry A/W 2010
I'm always a sucker for big hair, especially hair that manages to defy gravity while still seeming soft and 'undone' (because I've found this is often the most difficult look to achieve). As well as the hair, another thing Mulberry have got right is the soft leather jackets with cute doll-like collars. The top photo pretty much sums up my ideal day-to-evening outfit. I need to find a pair of knee-high boots like those, and a jacket like the one in the third photo. Add some backcombing and a good hairspray and I'll be sorted for A/W. Maybe...
