Hands down coolest sunglasses of the season.

Stella McCartney Fall 2011: Details

2011-03-08T00:43:00.000Z

An interesting juxtaposition of masculine and feminine elements by Stella McCartney for 2011. Body-con evening dresses with sheer panels sharply contrasted with the super-size cocoon shapes and wide suit jackets featured in the collection.

The designer seems to be playfully suggesting we will be alternating between these two extremes next season. Perhaps she's right.

Weird & Wonderful Contemporary Art: Thukral & Tagra

2011-01-20T14:08:00.000Z

Thukal and Tagra, a contemporary art duo from India, are inspired by fashion and advertising as much by art history. Their works have a sense of humour and blur the lines between popular culture and fine art. I love their colour choices and the fact that they appear to be just slightly bonkers.

Photographer Alex Prager for Bottega Veneta

2011-01-13T22:42:00.001Z

Bottega Veneta has enlisted talented photographer Alex Prager to create their new Spring 2011 ad campaign and I love the result. Alex's work was recently exhibited at MOMA as part of the 'New Photography 2010' exhibition.

Her photographs are beautifully cinematic, original and each possess an incredibly strong narrative which is complimented wonderfully by the Hitchcock-influenced styling. How amazing would it be to have some of these pieces hanging on your walls?

Label I Love: Secret Squirrel

Australian brand Secret Squirrel has quickly evolved to become a recognizable and coveted label with wide media coverage everywhere from Vogue to Frankie magazine.

Sofia Coppola's New Movie: Somewhere

2010-12-22T14:08:00.002Z

Sofia Coppola on the movie poster for Somewhere

That’s from one of my favorite moments in the film, where Stephen Dorff’s character and Elle Fanning, who plays his daughter, take a day off together around the Chateau Marmont, and hang out by the pool instead of going where they’re supposed to. It’s their moment of bonding, poolside. You can see a little of a Gucci billboard behind them in the bushes.

Sofia Coppola on Elle Fanning

She’s great, really smart and funny and full of life, and I love that she’s a real kid, excited about what she’s going to be for Halloween and ballet class.

Contemporary Art Exhibition at Versailles - Murakami

2010-12-15T01:09:00.000Z

Takashi Murakami is often considered the "Warhol" of Japan and his collaborations with the fashion world are inspiring. His work with Louis Vuitton and Pop Magazine are two such examples.

I wish I'd been lucky enough to visit his exhibition in Versailles, Paris. I find the contrast of the classic style of the palace to the comic style of the exhibit really brilliant.

Savida Autumn Winter 2010

2010-09-28T01:28:00.002+01:00

Savida, the more upmarket offering from Dunnes Stores, has really upped the style stakes in its latest collection. Model Chloe Arnold looks gorgeous in this range. I'll definitely be taking a closer look!

The Buyer's Agenda: Pamela Casey - Chief Buyer at Savida

"We love to have nods towards the trends but we need to be careful about what we choose for the customer. Sometimes, straight out, you know it's not flattering. It can be the biggest trend all over the high street, but if it's not going to suit our customer, if she's not going to put it on and think, 'I look a million dollars in this', we won't buy it."

Antonio Marras Spring Summer 2011

2010-09-27T01:00:00.000+01:00

I loved Antonio Marras' youthful take on the SS11 Romanticism trend.

Particularly the clash of graffiti-esque prints and geometric shapes. The collection of feminine pieces with sportswear accents is the perfect warm weather collection. Key looks: the safari jackets, red maxi dress, tshirts with sheer backs and the grey two piece with black detailing.

Burberry Prorsum Spring 2011

2010-09-25T03:25:00.001+01:00

Cool styling, neutral basics and amazing military style outerwear are almost staples we expect from a Burberry show.

Christopher Bailey (a.k.a Genius) mixed it up this season with leather, belts with chains, neon accessories and snakeskin jackets.

I have a feeling this collection will be copied to death by the high street - come Spring little moto jackets will be the new shearling aviators.
