Kate Moss: Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2008 campaign

Kate Moss, World's 2nd Richest Model according to Forbes, had a big part on Yves Saint Laurent's 2008 Spring Collection. She seemed to be really getting back into her stride after battling drug addiction.

Looking on these photos, Kate was literally on the wrong side of the glass, that she is locked out of the historic Pierre Berge-Yves Laurent Foundation in Paris.

Unlikely fashion inspiration

Watching the "Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading" episode of Father Ted the other night set me off on an odd train of thought. Dougal (below left, as if you need telling- surely everyone's seen the best sitcom ever?) was wearing a rather fetching knitted tanktop. He's a stylish chap, narry a hair out of place, but normally he wears bright red tank top. Now where had I seen something like this before...?

And then I remembered! The Sartorialist of course, home of all tv sitcom-inspired outfits. It was this chap here to be specific:

(For a moment I thought it was this chap from the facehunter that I had been thinking of but then I realised that he was just Mark E. Smith's clone. Obviously.)

French Connection Does Marni

First Forever 21 knocked off mix-and-mismatch Marni's link necklaces combining elements of their 2006 and 2007 designs. And I can hardly blame them -- even if I needed a new kidney I'd probably put a Marni necklace higher up on my list of priorities.


Now French Connection is following up with their wood and resin version:

My lust for Consuelo Castiglioni's amazing mixed-media statement pieces continues.

Post-Fashion Week Weekend Round-Up

Taking a cue from other most fabbers floggers like Trendinista and Threadtrend (seriously, if you're not familiar with them, stop doing whatever it is you're doing to waste your life and get on this train!), here's a round-up of stuff you indulge in, 'Bingers:

+ Trendinista is tangled up in the blue of Fall 2008 and considers a Smurfier world, then brilliantly outs London Fashion Week's secret French Victorian past.
+ Threadtrend doses on orange (both orange and Threadtrend = FB faves!) and Prada at Milan Fashion Week.
+ Catwalk Queen doses on Carine Roitfeld's love of pilly pill pills!
+ A Cup of Jo's Joanna Goddard has a breathtaking aesthetic, a classy-sounding last name, and wrote a great piece in NY Mag on monochromatic dressers.
+ Schmashion breaks self-imposed sanctions against Style.com to confirm that these subdued floral-print garden party dresses (like the one above) are in fact Roberto Cavalli and not an unslutty imposter.

... And finally...

+ JC Report has London Fashion Week highlights, including Danielle Scutt. This yellow and purple Erdem dress simultaneously gives me the vapors and the chills = the chapers!

Walks to school

Oh I do like the recent collaboration between Raf Simons and Eastpak but am put off to the crazy high price (£279 - for a backpack? Seriously...they are cool but come on!). I really want to try it on and wander around London for a day, I know I will be transported to those hazy Summer days back in the early 90's. Picture me, slightly podgy - it was puppy fat and of course I looked damn cute - walking to school wearing my white polo shirt, grey short shorts and grey socks, Ninja Turtle lunchbox in hand and carrying a backpack which went down to my ankles. This collaboration could make those memories real again! If you want to be transported back to your childhood and have a wallet full of cash they are available at Oki Ni.
