 Chanel, autumn/winter 2008-9
© Amando Grillo/VOGUE.COM

I’m really loving Chanel’s two-tone tights - aren’t they amazing!!! Described by Vogue as “The epitome of grown-up chic” it would seem that here is another fashion item to covet for autumn/winter 2008-9.

Konstantina Mittas showed at the RAFW Spring/summer Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and I really loved her flirty, sheer style.

Here’s an amazing backstage pic from Michelle Jank’s Show. Love the Black Birds!

Andrea Heimer is one of my favourite artists, I love her aesthetic, the way she uses imagery and colour. Above are a few of my faves at the moment. She’s 27 and from Bellingham, Washington US, and a regular on the art scene. She’s just finished a series of exhibitions, and if you like what you see, check out her website for more information.



Paris Fashion Week: Yves Saint Laurent Autumn/Winter 2008-9

” FUTURISTIC model robots and stiff, elegant uniform clothing” was how Vogue described YSL’s range this season.  Slim-line black sunglasses, short, sharp cropped ‘bowl’ wigs and burgundy/black vamp lips were donned by the models as they sashayed down the runway in gorgeous outfits reminiscent of 80s immaculate tailoring and design.

I love these gorgeous choc croc platforms, they’re to die for!!!
