Stella McCartney does acrobatics

September 17th 2008 03:25

I'm fairly sure that when most journalists and photographers arrive at a fashion show they expect to see the models stalk haughtily down the catwalk, not bouncing through the air or backflipping on a beam.

But Stella McCartney had a little surprise for the crowd at the launch of her spring collection for Adidas - her models were olympic medallists and well-known athletes.

But it made for some fantastic shots which you can see here

If only all fashion shows were so athletically three dimensional....

Ruffles migrate to London

September 16th 2008 01:57

If you needed further proof that frills and ruffles are "in", look no further than the Temperley London spring collection unveiled at London Fashion Week yesterday.

For full pics, including my personal favourites: "the 1920's styled model who lost her eyes" and "the butterfly queen" head to The Daily Telegraph site.

Next up, Adidas by Stella McCartney...

Anna Sui heads down the Nile

September 14th 2008 05:19

New York designer Anna Sui unveiled her Spring '09 collection at New York Fashion Week last night with vivid splashes of colour and plenty of bold prints.

Sui said her latest collection was inspired by a trip to the home of the pyramids, and it showed - there were hieroglyphic designs and large, elaborately gemmed necklaces enough to make Cleopatra proud.

The black and white bolero jacket with the matadorian headress aside, there is plenty to like about this collection. But keep an eye out for the price tags, they're sure to be impressive.

Soft, feminine shapes with plenty of frills and lacy detail were featured by several designers throughout the week.

Twenty-seven year old Zac Posen made a big impression with his spring creations, which featured soft, floating fabrics in pastel colours.

But even he couldn't escape the curse of the black lace, with one skirt that could only be described as a black beehive.

Unfortunately the stand-out piece in Posen's collection was paired with what even I in my footwear faux pas status would term the wrong pair of shoes.

But then again, if Zac Posen is as good as they say, maybe I've been wearing the right shoes all along.

Next stop in the spring fashionpalooza: London, England.

Is that a skirt or a cake?

September 10th 2008 06:26

Her bio says she's been designing clothes for roughly four decades, but the collection of clothes Betsey Johnson sent down the catwalk at New York Fashion Week this week suggests she might still be stuck in a children's fairytale wonderland.

I'm not sure exactly where Betsey expects a girl like me to wear the gowns you see here- clearly it's somewhere with a large doorway and plenty of open spaces. To the ball perhaps?
