Black Swan

This week I went to see 'Black Swan' which I must say is one of the most amazing films I have seen, such a clever, incising storyline. Its a thriller about the rivalry of two ballerinas and how getting the role of a lifetime literally takes over you until you become the role. One of the things I was most looking forward to was the costume designs, and oh they were  amazing so extravagant but in a simple way. The costume designers for 'Black Swan' was created by fashion duo, the Mulleavy Sisters who founded the fashion house 'Rodarte' who lead star Natalie Portman is one of their loyal supporters. They designed 40 costumes for Swan Lake and also all the knitwear and leotards that was used throughout the film.

eightiespiration

So for one of my projects at uni I have to do a historical fashion shoot; the era I was given was the 80's which to my annoyance is the decade I hate the most. Finding inspiration for my shoot was hard until I came across this Wonderland shoot which featured Liv Tyler in a very simple, elegant 80's photo-shoot, I loved the fact that it had an 80's influence but without the tackiness I oh so hate. The poses in this shoot are really great as you don't see many shoots with these kind of poses.

Merry Christmas to me love...

mise à pied

First post In a while, a long while. Well here goes, It's going to be a dramatic one....

The first shock was a few days ago when I heard French Vogue editor Carine Roitfield decided to quit vogue to move on to bigger, brighter things.

apparently not so, I stumbled across this on the internet...

“Our sources tell us the magazine’s parent company was unhappy with all the bad press surrounding Roitfeld’s alleged pay-for-play scandals—this year, alone—demanding huge sums of money for extracurricular consulting gigs and the enormous, public embarrassment of being banned from Balenciaga last season for abusing her position at Vogue. In the latter case, Roitfeld allegedly borrowed Balenciaga preview pieces and sent them to her client, Max Mara, to copy ... “

I can't wait to see who replaces her, It will be a very well deserving blog post of mine. 

Wow

Haven't been on here In a while, since I started university, apologies :) xxxxxxxxx

H&M hearts Lanvin

When browsing the Vogue website I came across the headline 'Lanvin for H&M' the look of shock hit my face. I know every year H&M get a designer to create a collection but I never imagined Lanvin would do a collaboration. EXCITEMENT EXCITMENT hell yeah! Uber luxe for H&M, I can finally abuse my discount! The collection launches on the 23rd of November oh please let me be working that day! I can imagine the whole reserve cuboard being full to the brim!
I must be honest though I'm slightly worried the collection will be a let down though I'm hoping not It's Lanvin! Previous designers Sonia Rykiel, Jimmy Choo and others have not WOWED me, lets hope this changes! :D

There's cream in my boots!

Creamfields!!

August bank holiday weekend, a weekend full of festivals and bad weather which this year I decided to be part of. I popped my festival cherry this year at Creamfields which Is an electronic music festival. Whilst most of the country headed to Reading me and my pals took the four hour drive to Liverpool, and oh It was so worth it.
