model of the week:Emma Watson




Emma Watson, was born in Paris on the 15th of April, 1990. Emma is mainly famous for her big role in the Harry Potter series, Hermione Granger. Emma is not just an actress any more though. She is now quite well known for modeling for burberry. If you order vogue magazines, you probably have seen pictures of her. They have transformed her from innocent little Hermione into an attractive teenager who wears lots of makeup.
At her young age, she had wanted to appear on a few fashion magazines, but to be honest, back then her style was ,well lets face it quite unnatractive! But now, things have changed and she has a pretty good fashion sense! Although you may think Emma would be living in a huge mansion, she actually has a quite small, normal house. But with a huge extended family!
Emma is now about to attend college, but will 'never stop modeling or acting' she says.

Chanel fall/winter 2010 sneak peak review








The incoming of more beautiful chanel clothing is bringing excitement all around the world. Especially for winter, when most people buy designer clothing for fancy holiday parties, christmas, and etc. The newest collection (chanel has not yet posted the fashion video to public...yet), looks absolutely beautiful. It has (in my opinion) vintage with a twang of avon guarde. The preview shows that the runway was a huge square stage with three large white bottles of chanel's most famous perfume, chanel no. 5. Women walked out and in of the bottles. The clothing in the preview gave you a big hint about the clothing that would be in the whole fashion show: black and white-creamy colors with elegant bobbles here and there with classical hair styles.

New in my video bar!

Hi Everyone!
In my video bar located at the top and side of my website, I have added John Galliano's Fall/Winter 2010 videos. Please enjoy!

The Guardian

Forget high fashion in 
NewYork,
Paris or Milan:Oxford Street in London will be hosting
the country's first high street fashion week in September this year.

Usually Oxford Street is reserved for tourists, unimaginative shoppers and sweaty
people who enjoy human
traffic jams. Needless to say, Fashion Statement wouldn't be seen dead
near the place on a
 weekend, even if we were Michael Jackson 
and had a motorcade on
its way to a Topshop wake in our honour.

Moving swiftly on...

Launching on September 7
, the week will act as a
prelude to the established London fashion week,
which will take place at Somerset House from September 18-22. We
imagine it will be an
excellent way of encouraging recession-wary shoppers to empty their purses. The
shops that have already
signed up for the event
 include Uniqlo, Debenhams, John Lewis and Topman.
We assume that with
one member of the Arcadia group signed up, the others including Topshop, Dotty P
and Miss Selfridge
won't be far behind.

So, are we likely to see
the full fashion week works: catwalks, backstage
bitching and skinny models?
 Well, it's not entirely clear
who or what will be going
on, but it looks as if each
brand will offer sneak
previews of their autumn/
winter collections, there will
 be plenty of champagne flowing, and there will be
 promotions on offer for shoppers.

 

The Telegraph also reports

 that in August, Oxford Street shoppers will be asked to 

vote for their favourite

 celebrity "High Street 

Queen", with the winner 

playing a major role in the 

week. Our money is on 

Cheryl Cole.



Pixie GeldofBANG ON TREND

Summer hats

It seems like only last week

 that we were talking about 

snow (it wasn't, of course, 

it was February) and now 

there's a heat wave 

happening and the whole

of Britain is on red alert.

It's definitely time to ditch 

the woolly beanies and 

break out the straw 

boaters.

Hats can often be difficult

 to wear, but thankfully 

there are loads of celebs showing us how to work

 this season's trends. We spotted Chloe Sevigny 

in a squished boater a 

couple of weeks ago.

Never slow off the mark, 

a similar hat is now 

available at Topshop for £20.

 A word of warning: 

be careful not to cross 

over into Worzel Gummidge territory. Try teaming with 

scarlet lippy and 

maybe a Breton stripe.

For a new twist on the straw 

hat we like this expensive 

one by Grevi. It costs £105

 but with a thin leather belt 

in place of a ribbon, it's 

different, and by 'eck 

it's nice!


Pixie Geldof, who for some reason irritates us like a 

bed of nettles, was 

spotted at Glasto in a 

cloche with a brim. We've

 found a similar version 

from an Italian company 

called Forzieri for £148.39.

 Be sure to buy in a light 

colour to avoid your head heating up.


For a classic straw trilby 

with a twist, why not go 

for shocking pink? This 

fuschia straw hat by

 Dorothy Perkins is only 

£15 and will make sure 

you stand out in the festival crowd.

Topshop also has a nice 

straw hat for £20.  

 

KeiraFASHIONISTA OF THE WEEK

It was a toss-up this 

week between Marion 

Cotillard, who has been 

out and about looking 

absolutely stunning while promoting her new film

with Johnny Depp, 

and Keira Knightley

who has also been out 

and about at a screening

 of her new short film, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide 

Brothers. In the end Keira 

got it, partly because we've

 not seen her out for ages

, and partly because she 

was wearing one of the 

most gorgeous butterfly 

prints we've ever seen. 

It was a midnight blue,

long silk gown by Erdem

 Resort 2010, gathered at 

the waist and worn with 

a long necklace. 

Jealous much?

JuergenQUOTE OF THE WEEK

"There's a beautiful girl, in a beautiful coat and she's carrying a hand-

bag. We go for a walk. 

A squirrel comes and 

she shows the handbag

 to the squirrel, the squirrel 

is interested in the handbag.

 It just happened and that's 

how I experience life. I was 

just thinking, what does a woman do with a handbag,

 she carries it around. She doesn't sit in a studio holding

 it up so you can see it more clearly."

Juergen Teller talks to the Independent about taking 

Sofia Coppola for a 

walk in a snowy Central 

Park.

We paid scant 

attention to the mens-

wear shows in Paris 

(which is naughty of us). However, we couldn't help

 but notice these HILARIOUS strapless tops for men from 

Jean Paul Gaultier's show.

 We are christening them 

moob tubes. We're not sure they'll catch on, though...
