I recently aquired this beautiful vintage Dior jacket. I love the lace detail, with beading which gives it this couture like feel. I decided to wear it with a pair of skinny jeans to keep it more casual, but equally would wear it with some leather pants, or smart trousers.

Just Vanilla

As I mentioned in my post ‘All White’, white is the colour of choice for S/S 13, but today I’m wearing a vanilla shade of white. I like the idea of throwing on a sweater with a pretty skirt and heels, it doesn’t feel too dressed up; and it’s perfect for British weather, which often feels quite bipolar at times!

The Met Gala is perhaps one of the most glamourous nights of the year, and one of fashion’s most important events. It sets the stage for avant-garde fashion to be worn on the red carpet, and for the couture of couturiers to showcase their designs.

This year’s them was punk, with many stars opting to wear black, but boring and black it was not. The other colour trending was white, and pops of colour were seen on Gywneth Paltrow, and a very pregnant Kim Kardashian.

The Women In Black

Carrie Mulligan looked chic in Balenciaga and Tiffany jewels, where as Jessica Biel took a risk with a faux septum through her nose, wearing Giambattista Valli. Girl’s star Allison Williams, choose a gothic glam look, wearing a sheer Altuzarra gown.

Anne Hathaway looked stunning in a Valentino gown, with her new blonde hair do, and the always beautiful Miranda Kerr wore Tabitha Simmons, with Cartier jewels.

The Women In White

Olivia Wilde wore a midriff baring gown. Gwen Stefani looked demure in her black and white gown by Maison Martin Margiela. While Katie Homes looked ethereal in a Francisco Costa dress.

Ladies Popping It

Gyneth Paltrow was hot in a hot pink vintage Valentino dress, while Uma Thurman looked stunning as a glamourous vivacious Poison Ivy, wearing Zac Posen. Kim Kardashian quite literally looked like she was ready to pop in her patterned Givency gown!

Punk Queen

Queen of Punk, has got to be Sarah Jessica Parker, who caused quite a stir flashing her knickers in a Giles Decon creation, complementing the look with a lavish Phillip Tracey head piece.

Denim is a key look this season, and designers have been finding new and inventive ways to incorporate it into their collections for this season; but sometimes it’s just nice to get back to basics, and wear a denim shirt. For this look I have teamed a classic denim shirt with a leather mini skirt and heels, for a perfect day to eveing look.

Music As Muse: Daft Punk And Saint Laurent

Daft Punk, Random Access Memories, Saint Laurent Music Project, Saint Laurnet

Saint Laurent’s designer Hedi Slimane recruited and photographed Daft Punk for a series of black-and-white ad campaign. In addition to running fifteen second commercials at Coachella, Daft Punk are drumming up even more anticipation for their new release, Random Access Memories, by joining Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent Music Project. This past weekend’s Indio screening featured the performers in glittery smoking jackets, which were designed by the creative director. The French duo has been recording in L.A, and have a history with Saint Laurent Paris — they were requested to do the soundtrack to the designer’s inaugural runway show, back in October.

The campaign that already features Marilyn Manson, celebrates Slimane’s musician friends and muses and the Daft Punk guys are no different, having been dressed by the designer for years both at his former design house and now with YSL. Check out the slick images, and some serious sequined tuxedo jackets.
