Grazia magazine PREPARE TO FLAIR!!!January 6th, 2011Ladies dig out your J Brand ‘Lovestorys’, because denim flares are back!!! Big time!!

Hannah Almassi ~ Grazia magazine French “No Anorexia” model dies at age of 28December 30th, 2010A French model who campaigned against anorexia by posing nude for an advertising campaign while suffering from the disease has died at the age of 28, French media reported on Thursday.
Isabelle Caro, whose 2007 “No Anorexia” campaign was banned in Italy, died on November 17, but her family asked for her death to be kept private, Le Parisien newspaper reported.
The cause of death was not known but Caro, who had suffered from anorexia from the age of 12, had recently been hospitalised for respiratory problems, the paper quoted her friend, Swiss singer Vincent Bigler, as saying. Caro shocked the fashion industry when she bared her skeletal frame for the campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani — best known for his controversial ad campaigns for Benetton — which hit billboards during Milan fashion week. It was banned by Italy’s advertising watchdog.
Olivia Palermo’s big plansDecember 29th, 2010
The rise and rise of Olivia Palermo continues apace, with the lady herself dropping another detail about her plans for fashion world domination.
Remember that new TV show she’s got in the works? Turns out that cameras will follow Palermo as she develops her own clothing line, she said in an interview with a Spanish magazine. Although we’re pretty sure that that was the exact concept behind The City, in which Palermo came across as something of a fashion villain, count us in… Now, can anyone tell us whether this show will make it to the UK any sooner than the last Palermo series? By Emily Cronin | Posted: Wed 29 Dec 2010Reuse, Recycle, RenewDecember 28th, 2010Don’t know about you but I just love old furniture. It’s not just asthetically pleasing but better quality too. Not too long ago we Brits appreciated craftmanship and quality and were actually world leaders in furniture design, remember Chippendale anyone??!! I hate, hate, hate the cheap tatty furniture that most furniture showrooms are displaying in the name of design!! And if I hear that word ‘faux’ one more time I think I will scream!!! ‘Faux’ what does that mean??!! To me it means ‘cheap tatty plastic made in china’ ‘Faux leather’, ‘faux suede’, ‘faux Louis’, ‘faux off’ that’s what I say!! With this in mind we have decided to bring a new range to Citrine ~ Reuse, Recycle, Renew. That is the name of our new range of furniture ~ pre-loved and updated to reflect todays’ taste and todays’ feeling. Wardrobes, sideboards, cupboards, tables and chairs will all be stripped, treated, painted or re-upholstered to bring them bang up to date! Take a look here at some examples of recycled furniture.
Beckham bag gone in 60 minutes on NetDecember 23rd, 2010Well, that was fast. Two styles from Victoria Beckham’s new handbag line went up for sale on Net-a-Porter this morning, and one is already sold out. Sharp shoppers snapped up all available leather and nubuck shoulder bags within an hour of the item appearing on the site.
There’s one style remaining – the hexagonal chain crocodile bag – but at £8,950, it’s not what we’d consider an impulse buy. Although the two-tone wonder won’t reappear, expect to find five more of Ms B’s bags online from February. UPDATE: We received word from Net at 1:45 that the second bag, which we anticipated might stick around a bit longer, has also now sold out. What Christmas rush? By Emily Cronin vogue.co.uk New Brand For Spring/Summer ~ Dakota CollectiveDecember 6th, 2010
Borne in 2005 in La, Dakota Collective is fast fashion for the contemporary customer. Their look is citified prep, Americana with a quirky, feminine twist. The Dakota Collective brand is glamorous, sophisticated, intelligent, at times demure, at times sexy, always feminine and always confident. Made famous in America by Rhianna and Kristen Stewart (She worn one of their coats in Twilight!!), it’s gone from strength to strength.
Kristen Stewart as Bella in BB Dakota* Expect skinny combat trousers in olive and camouflage, teamed with long silk vests and raw edge T’s. Masculine with a femine twist, sexy and confident. Arriving end of Feb Gucci SS11 ~ Cigarette Trousers a trend??!December 6th, 2010FRIDA GIANNINI promised Sophisticated Seduction for her Gucci show, she impressively managed to put us wham bam in the mood for high voltage Italian fashion action. Jewel colour combinations of green, turquoise, purple and orange – for grown-up skirts or tapered silk trousers worn with slippery, loosely knotted tops that were belted in stiff metallic gold at the waist, had a richness reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent, though long glossy blazers added a less welcome Eighties element, particularly when combined with harem pants.
Then the colour bleached away to a nude set of pale linens, leathers and suedes that were ladylike and luxurious and made us think of safari living – the six-star way. Dresses were woven or whip stitched in leather and, as jewels and feathers were added into the mix the theme took on a tribal energy – it was glorious fashion armour featuring knots and macrame reminiscent of South American handiwork. It had an exotic appeal and, despite being a summer collection, was bursting with leather and suede – enough to impress the super rich, super gorgeous wife of a polo player on their ranch full of money. Fringed jackets and dresses made for fabulous investment pieces – Frida herself took her bow in a black one – and cocktail versions looked great in strapless woven suede with gold metal worked in. One dark gold silk strapless jumpsuit was the epitome of urban safari glamour.
The final line-up of fringed, feathered, jewelled dresses in dark orange, gold, emerald and black made for an impressive statement. We were ahead of Gucci in this trend we started stocking this trouser in September and they have been a great success, check out our grey and black version here.http://www.citrine-online.co.uk/trousers/skirts/cat_4.html
Pair with a great vest top or tunic such as our Raw edge jersey range and a fab jacket. http://www.citrine-online.co.uk/tops/cat_2.html Let us know what you think!! Excepts by Dolly Jones ~ www.vogue.co.uk VALENTINO FOR GAPNovember 24th, 2010
THINK of utilitarian basics like the parka, the cargo pant, the T- shirt and the hoodie, you almost certainly think of Gap – and you almost certainly do not think of Valentino, but the two worlds have collided. Gap has unveiled its latest collaboration, with the couture house of Valentino, and the results are surprising to say the least. “We love mixing different cultures and we have been excited to mix gap’s timeless essentials with our roman culture of couture,” the label’s designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli explained. ”It brings together the iconic world of Valentino and Gap’s fashion staples, synthesizing the current trend of combining luxury with basics.”
“The work that Maria Grazia and Pier Paolo are doing at Valentino is so exciting,” Anita Borzyszkowska, VP of global PR and special projects for Gap, told us. “They’re reinventing the label with a modernity that feels really fresh but is staying true to the original handwriting that’s recognizably Valentino. I love that they’ve worked with that vocabulary and applied it to quintessential Gap pieces to create something that feels very cool and new, rather than a high street interpretation of their own collection.” The seven-piece collection, which was launched to celebrate the opening of Gap’s first Italian store last week in Milan, will arrive at Gap in London- as well as Dover Street Market and Colette in Paris
Lauren Milligan ~ Vogue.co.uk Ford’s GirlsNovember 17th, 2010AFTER a six-year absence from the world of womenswear Tom Ford is back and, as expected, it’s well worth the wait. Ford showed the collection in New York on September 12 to a select group but banned journalists from revealing the collection, until now.
SEE THE TOM FORD WOMENSWEAR COLLECTION HERE Ford convinced his most beautiful and stylish friends to model the collection for him, whilst he announced them. Beyonce’ Knowles, Lauren Hutton, Liya Kebede, Rinko Kikuchi, Stella Tennant, Amber Valletta, Natalia Vodianova, Karen Elson, Karlie Kloss, Abbey Lee Kershaw and Julianne Moore, amongst others, showcased a collection which reminded onlookers of Ford’s best collections for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. “There’s continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that’s the customer,” Ford admitted. “It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show. I hear them say, ‘God, I can’t find that anywhere!’ “ “The day I don’t love to do it, I’ll sell it,” he told US Vogue. “Because we’re all only here for a little while, and nothing we do or make has any permanence at all. I care now because I’m doing it. I want to be proud of what I do. Which may be ten or 20 years – who knows?” Lauren Milligan ~ www.vogue.co.uk
