From The Fairest Of Them All

After the premiere last night, hype is building for the new Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart blockbuster, Snow White and the Huntsman. What does this have to do with fashion, you ask? Well, not only are our leading ladies on the covers of the world's leading fashion magazines, but the mood of the film picks up exactly where some of the AW 12 shows left off...

The darkness that consumes the promos immediately made me think of Gucci, and Kristen's armour points right to Balmain. So here they are: three outfits from each show. Take them as inspiration for what to wear when you watch the movie. (or what Kristen and Charlize might wear at the premieres)

Balmain AW12

And here they are at last night's premiere. Charlize looks incredible in Dior Haute Coture and Kristen looks, um, like that in Marchesa. I'm thinking she should have gone with a Balmain dress and me as a stylist.

Local Is Vogue

Whoever said South Africans can't make it big in the international fashion world?

Candice Swanepoel is looking lovely in crisp Jil Sander shirt in the April issue of US Vogue.

And let's not forget Charlize fronting the May issue of UK Vogue.

So, just I case you need some ammunition for a SA women in Vogue debate, you can refer people to the Exclusive Books shelves.

That's all.

The Real Vogue Cover. (Onse Charlize!)

My previous post about the May cover of British Vogue was incorrect: it was only a supplement. The real cover star is in fact South Africa's very own Charlize Theron. Down in our corner of the woods she's covered Rooi Rose, Sarie, and Woman's Health all the in past couple of moths. For me, this cover wins by default. I mean it's Vogue, she's photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, and she's wearing Versace. And then there are the very beautiful images inside. Makes me feel rather patriotic.
