Frida Gustavson - Paris Fashion Week
J'aime bien cette distance qui existe avec les modèles
quand je les prends en photo. C'est une façon d'entretenir
le mystère qui se doit d'exister. Comme une barrière
infranchissable.
28.10.2010- Dior Illustrated
From November 10th to January 9th next year, Somerset House in London is playing host to an exhibition celebrating the iconic work of illustrator René Gruau, entitled Dior Illustrated: René Gruau and the Line of Beauty. Throughout the 40's and 50's, Gruau worked for a range of fashion magazines, including Marie Claire and L'Officiel as well as for design houses such as Givenchy, Balenciaga and Lanvin. Perhaps most famously of all, Gruau created a range of work for Dior, illustrating adverts for Christian Dior Parfums, as well as sketching pieces from the haute couture collections of the design house. He later went on to become the artistic director of advertising at Dior and, in a time where hand drawn adverts were still a prominent feature in fashion, Gruau's strong graphic style was vital in attracting attention to the brand. With Christian Dior, he also oversaw the genesis and marketing of the famous 'New Look', and undoubtedly contributed to the growth of widespread fashion advertising as we know it today.
You only have to look at the vital role that advertising continues to play in the fashion industry to see the legacy of Gruau's vision in action. In terms of his understanding of bold illustration as a tool for bringing innovative design to a mainstream audience, he remains unparalleled and his work has a unique style which perfectly encapsulates the aspirational appeal of high fashion whilst being both daring and engaging. By looking at his many famous illustrations, you really do get a sense of the vital role he played in the evolution of fashion, as his style and compositional ideas continue to be utilised today. I can't wait to visit the exhibition to see some of his beautiful work firsthand.

26.10.2010- I like The Like
I've recently rediscovered The Like, who were one of my favourite bands when they had their breakthrough with the album Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? back in 2005. Since then, the band has undergone a line-up change, with new members Annie Monroe and Laena Geronimo joining founders Tennessee Thomas and Elizabeth Berg (aka Z Berg). With the help of super producer Mark Ronson, The Like have also transformed their sound; their second album Release Me, released to much critical acclaim earlier this year, showcases a collection of songs very obviously influenced by the music of the 1960's:
By the look of things, it's time to get hunting down those 60's swing dresses and perfecting the black eyeliner!
To find out more about The Like and hear more music, visit their Myspace page.
What do you think of The Like's new sound? And are you inspired by their 60's styling? What other music stars are your style icons?

As well as informing their current approach to music, the 60's have also served to inspire the new image of the band, with peter-pan collars, geometric prints and cute dresses a plenty featuring heavily in their styling:

21.10.2010- Lanvin pour H&M take two
Following on from my previous post, here's the second look at Lanvin for H&M which popped up online earlier today:
Expect more of the advertising campaign, shot by David Sims and starring Natasha Poly and Hannelore Knuts to be popping up over the coming weeks as the anticipation for the collection builds. Is it quite sad that I'm as much obsessed with the shopping bags as I am with the clothes?

19.10.2010- Lanvin pour H&M
Today were were given a tiny glimpse of what to look forward to from the Lanvin/H&M collaboration:
I looks as though Alber Elbaz is striving to incorporate as many Lanvin hallmarks into the collection as possible; gorgeous one shouldered dresses, tailored jackets and super cool styling. The full collection will be unveiled in two weeks, on November 2nd, before landing in stores November 23rd. If this first promotional image is anything to go by, the collection is sure to be H&M's most sought after designer collaboration yet.
Do you like what you've seen of Lanvin for H&M so far? Are you excited to see the full collection?

18.10.2010- Anne does Audrey
Before I toddle off to bed like the old lady in waiting I am, I just had to share with you these images of Anne Hathaway's editorial for the November Issue of US Vogue. Shot by Mario Testino and styled by Tonne Goodman, I think that Happily Ever After sees Anne channelling rather more than a touch of classic Audrey Hepburn...
The second to last shot especially has a very strong flavour of Breakfast At Tiffany's about it, don't you think? Regardless, I think she looks absolutely beautiful here; Mr. Testino certainly knows how to get the best out of his subjects. And I can't wait to see Anne in Love and Other Drugs at the end of the year (although I suspect the fact that the film co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal has something to do with this!)
What do you think of Anne's Vogue spread?
