NYFW - Jason Wu

Where to start?! I was originally going to write one post on New York Fashion Week, but I have too much to say for one post! There will be more to follow but trying to keep it short and sweet!  Firstly, I have totally fallen in love with Jason Wu's S/S12 collection. I love Wu's monochrome and contrasting pastel palette, fresh take on floral patterns and flowing fabrics. Here are some of my favourite pieces, admittedly I don't like all of the collection, the preppy secretary look just isn't to my taste. However my favourite pieces include a floral blouse/short combo, contrasting powder pink/monochrome flowers and a gorgeous lime green chiffon. I think I will be investing in some new florals and definitely a two-piece........but I must stop eating Krispy Kremes first!

Alber Elbaz

Can't believe I am back at school already, where has the summer disappeared to? I am so upset to finally have to drift back to reality, get back into routine of early mornings and hard work and the dreaded UCAS application. However, I was somewhat cheered up by the Lanvin Fall 2011 ad campaign, channelling fashion and comedy in one.  Steven Meisel captured models dancing for Prada's Spring 2011 campaign and has done the same for Lanvin, the video featuring models  Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson dance in sync to Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me" — with Alber Elbaz makes a dancing cameo at the end. I just love the whole idea behind the campaign, and the feeling of making fashion relatable to the masses. The whole video brings fashion back down to earth and back to what it should be about - fun and expression of personality. Personally, Alber's cameo at the end makes the whole video for me! LOVE XXX
