Dakota Fanning: The Ultimate Cover Star

The February 2012 UK ELLE Dakota Fanning collectors' cover is arguably my favourite ELLE cover of all time. I thought it was the magic of Team Elle that made Dakota look so great, until I discovered some more utterly awesome Dakota covers. It seems she just has that something which, when combined with a great creative team, makes a stunning cover. Feast your eyes on these!

UK ELLE February 2012

V Januray 2010

WONDERLAND April/May 2012

The only bad thing about these covers is that I don't own any of them. Pft.

 

 

Viva The Model Cover!

I love it when magazines do model covers! The May cover of UK Vogue was released today with a very beautiful looking Nyasha Matonhodze on the front. And on top of that, it seems to be a Style For Less issue... Most interesting coming from Vogue. I cant wait to see!

Focus On Proenza Schouler AW12

The first post I did on Proenza Schouler's AW12 collection was very brief. Now, looking back, it's become one of my favourite collections of the new season. Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez are known for their incredible craftsmanship, but this collection takes it to the next level. Check this ooooout!

This collection was all about defence. The show started off in neutral colours with a strong 'biker' vibe. Then came the interwoven fabric and leather, and finally the most beautiful brockade and embroidery. Here's a closer look at it all...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Emily Blunt Covers ELLE UK

It's my favourite time of the month: the day the new ELLE UK covers leak. Emily Blunt is looking lovely on the cover of the May beauty Issue, and even more beautiful on the collectors cover. Of course we know next month will be Kristen Stewart. I can't wait!

 

 

Pretty Patterns + Lovely Dresses = Kenzo AW12

My latest post fashion month fashion month discovery is Kenzo. A really fun, super French collection that showcased some of the new season's best trends. There are the hilights.

Animal sweaters is not just a Burberry thing. Micro as the trend and may be, it's one of my absolute favourites.

 

Designers have made some great dresses this season. You'll have to pick at least one of them... So which will it be?

 

Pattern, pattern, pattern. (And repeat!) This is your new style mantra by the way. Miuccia Prada started the revolution. Kenzo, and you, should be happy to join in.

 

No particular tend here, just an interesting take on texture. Love it, hate it, be indifferent, whatever.

 

More pattern on the left. And on the right you'll find a little zig zag: another fun micro trend pioneered by House of Holland this season.
