One of the biggest nights of the fashion calendar, this year the museum celebrates couturier Charles James, the theme of the evening; 'White Tie and Decorations' but as you can imagine not many kept that in mind. Here are my ten fave looks of the evening, in no particular order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media4.onsugar.com/files/2014/05/05/078/n/1922398/4b29356b87353ffb_488340363.xxxlarge/i/Emma-Stone-Andrew-Garfield-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://media4.onsugar.com/files/2014/05/05/078/n/1922398/4b29356b87353ffb_488340363.xxxlarge/i/Emma-Stone-Andrew-Garfield-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">1. Emma Stone in Thakoon</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My favourite from the night. I feel like this shouldn't work but I just really love everything about it. Her shoes even matched beau Andrew Garfield's jacket, adorbs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">2. Beyonce in Givenchy</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't feel like justifying this, she is the queen. Love the veil and I will never get sick of her and Jay Z.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">3. Gisele Bundchen in Balenciaga</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ever stunning Gisele could of turned up in a bin bag and still look flawless. *crys*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bm6hB7sCcAETHCc.jpg:medium" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bm6hB7sCcAETHCc.jpg:medium" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">4. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in Chanel and vinatge Gianfranco Ferré</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You either love this or hate it. Amongst an array of bright somewhat tacky gowns, in dark, vintage Victorian-esque gowns I think they both look so chic, kudos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://photos.posh24.com/p/2744300/l/bildspecial/vilket_kandispar_var_snyggast_pa_metgalan_2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://photos.posh24.com/p/2744300/l/bildspecial/vilket_kandispar_var_snyggast_pa_metgalan_2014.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">5. Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Beautifully understated in one of her own designs, wins award for best accessory of the night, we all need a David Beckham for special occasions, such as every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.viva.ro/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Kendall-Jenner-x.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://www.viva.ro/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Kendall-Jenner-x.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">6. Kendall Jenner in Topshop</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Stunning in nude custom made Topshop, weeping at her tiny waste. Cue week of starvation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FKkFQ4MpAvOTQgDNwN7ktvQpMn5ZxICTFqTdcTfOWUEAGQY3BxxE_KCm-N5axvQo52chjtUmMk130OaG4tFo7PaGCyaN9OWn9RRKN7KYTTvfrW9jvqQBGQfizzF7sY9PKlpGYtoZI7w/s1600/Met13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8FKkFQ4MpAvOTQgDNwN7ktvQpMn5ZxICTFqTdcTfOWUEAGQY3BxxE_KCm-N5axvQo52chjtUmMk130OaG4tFo7PaGCyaN9OWn9RRKN7KYTTvfrW9jvqQBGQfizzF7sY9PKlpGYtoZI7w/s1600/Met13.png" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">7. Jourdan Dunn also in Topshop</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm so obsessed with Jourdan I probably wouldn't care what she wore. Also in custom Topshop, bit OT on the satin tho. Ultimate milf.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.becauseiamfabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/Diane-Kruger-Wearing-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://www.becauseiamfabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/Diane-Kruger-Wearing-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">8. Diane Kruger in Hugo Boss</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Diane always seems often overlooked even though she often looks impeccable, simple but effective in grey Hugo Boss.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.becauseiamfabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/Leighton-Meester-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://www.becauseiamfabulous.com/wp-content/uploads/Leighton-Meester-2014-Met-Gala.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">9. Leighton Meester in Emilio Pucci</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Hate gold and a deep v paired with a thigh slit sounds like a recipe for disaster, but she just looks sooo good.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://uk.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201445/rs_634x1024-140505182145-634.lively-ryan.cm.5514.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><img border="0" src="http://uk.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201445/rs_634x1024-140505182145-634.lively-ryan.cm.5514.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">10. Blake Lively in Gucci</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ugh, another power couple of the night Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, so good looking it hurts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A few notable fails of the evening, first RITA ORA, I can't even, I won't even. Alexa gets so much hate in the fashion industry, I tend to love her but I'm not loving this, how can you go from her incred tux look back in 2010 to this, how?! Maggie Gyllenhaal choses one of the worst looks from Valentino Couture. I hate saying anything bad about Lupita Nyong'o, I love her and she's beautiful but I can't even persuade myself to like this mismatched Prada ensemble.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, so last Wednesday I started my first ever internship at Wonderland magazine, after weeks of stressing that I wouldn't find a placement I finally got one doing what I wanted. I'm basically assisting the online editor Danielle and the editor Jack, so basically transcribing, writing blog posts and looking after social media etc. I've always wanted to work at a magazine so I was super excited but also completely shitting it to start. I have never interned before and don't know anything about the running of an independent fashion magazine so I was both nervy and excited about what I'd learn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">My first day I was eased in with writing just a few pieces for the website, I've done this most days, mostly reviews from LC:M and Milan Mens Week, I've also done some research and tweeting. I assume when I've been there longer I will be trusted with more but everyone is so lovely and its really chilled. Its nothing like people pre conceptions of fashion magazines from things like the Devil Wears Prada, everybody eats, no ones in heels and no one judges you for wearing a Primark coat (#guilty) its all very relaxed which is good and its such a small team thats its so much easier to get to know people and create better contacts. Theres another intern Gillian whos Irish and shes really nice as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've only seen the editor in cheif when he comes up to go over the progress of the magazine and the flat plan, I love having a nose at all the stuff that comes in like editorials etc, listening to the conversations that fly about also adds to the entertainment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">We're working on the next issue atm which features guest editor Emma Watson and is released on the 7th Feb, being sent to the printers on Monday/Tuesday so its all a bit hectic at the moment as the last bits of work comes in and trying to decide on a cover is proving difficult! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Today I had much more to do which was good I felt busy all day, I transcribed an interview Jack did with Ryan Lo earlier today which took a while, transcribing a quitely spoken Chinese guy is harder than you'd think! I've also been shown how to post on the website as before I was just emailing my posts to Danielle so now I can just put them straight up and I've also been asked to assist Danielle on a Chanel shoot tomorrow!!! Im super excited to say the least but its an early start so I best get to bed and will post more updates daily/weekly/when I can find the energy ahhaha. </span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Over the past few
seasons Riccardo Tisci’s most recognisable pieces have been his printed t
shirts and sweats, cult pieces which merge high fashion with sporty streetwear.
So it only makes sense that Tisci would collaborate with one of the biggest
sportswear brands in the world. The
rumours have been flying around of a collab between the two since WWD.com
posted about it earlier today, the news is expected to be confirmed later
today. It is thought the collection would have a strong focus on footwear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Not sure how
Tiscis BFF Kanye West will take this blow after his infamous fall out with Nike
after they denied West any royalties for the sales of Air Yeezys and Air Yeezy
II’s after which he signed a deal with rival brand Adidas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MissguidedLFW4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.missguided.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/MissguidedLFW4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Many moons ago, fashion week was an event
hosted simply to showcase fashion and the talent of some of the worlds finest
designers, it has now become a spectacle, a circus of sorts, for the people not
the clothes themselves. For one week,
Somerset House becomes the stomping ground for nobodies pretending to be
somebodies. How do you spot these fakers you ask? It’s easy just look out for
these four tell tale signs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Extensive Loitering</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;">These people live in hope that they’ll be
“discovered” or land themselves a place on a high-flying street style blog,
ambitious huh. They’re nowhere near important enough to be invited to any
shows, so the likelihood is they will spend their entire day/week stumbling
around the infamous cobbles, so if you spot a couple of faces you recognize but
can’t put your finger on where you know them from its probably because you
don’t, you just saw them doing the same thing 2 days prior.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>'Comical' Fashion Tees</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The rise of the ‘ironic’ fashion tee has, believe
it or not, had one advantage; it makes these nobodies stand out like crazy. “Too
bad I can’t afford a real Celine tee, instead I’ll wear this comical ‘Feline’
tee to make people think I’m hip and don’t give a fuck”. See also; ‘Comme Des
Fuckdown’ and ‘Aint Laurent Without Yves’ or perhaps most tragic ‘Ballinciaga’,
totes hilar babe. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>An Outfit Consisting Of Every Garment They Own</b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A sure fire way to get spotted at fashion
week? Wear anything and everything in your wardrobe. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>People go out of their way to dress as
outlandishly as humanely possible, which causes a few raised eyebrows, a few
“oh so chic” ’s but ultimately begs the question, do you seriously dress like
this on a daily basis? Like you’ve rolled in superglue and ran through Susie
Bubbles (and the entire neighborhoods for that matter) wardrobe? Well, each to
their own I guess. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Non-stop Mentioning of Their Blog</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lastly, they’ll be swaning around in
ridiculously dark sunglasses thinking they’re the next Anna Wintour. In fact,
they just spend their evenings copying news stories from vogue.com on to
blogger.com in hope one day they’ll find themselves tucked front row between
their new BFF’s Alexa Chung and Pixie Geldof. If (god help you) you have the
misfortune of conversing with the fashion week nobodies, I suggest you mentally
tally how many times they mention their awesome fashion blog or perhaps
countdown how long it takes them to mention it, you never know it could make
the conversation slightly entertaining.</span></div>

<a href="http://i0.wp.com/hypebeast.com/image/2013/11/hello-my-name-is-paul-smith-exhibition-hits-london-9.jpg?w=1410" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i0.wp.com/hypebeast.com/image/2013/11/hello-my-name-is-paul-smith-exhibition-hits-london-9.jpg?w=1410" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you're visiting London between now and March be sure to stop by the Design Museum to check out the new Paul Smith exhibition. The massive exhibition finally opened last week and is already receiving rave reviews. Curated by Donna Loveday, the museum is hoping that the exhibit will rival its previous (and record breaking) Louboutin exhibition for popularity. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.selectism.com/files/2013/11/Hello-My-Name-Is-Paul-Smith-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.selectism.com/files/2013/11/Hello-My-Name-Is-Paul-Smith-05.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It is said to give an immersive insight in to the world of all things Paul Smith, Loveday stated that it has been curated to appeal to a wide audience and is confident it will be a success, especially with Paul Smiths stellar reputation however they're promising that even new fans will find out something they don't know about the menswear designer.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i0.wp.com/fashionistabarbieuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/paul-smith-23.jpg?resize=550%2C367" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i0.wp.com/fashionistabarbieuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/paul-smith-23.jpg?resize=550%2C367" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You'll have to opportunity to delve in to all things Paul Smith as you take a journey through every chapter of Smith's lengthy career starting at his very first store. A tiny 3 x 3 metre boutique first opened in Nottingham in 1970, well a recreation obviously. Then you can take a look in to the makeshift dupe of the designers office and all the wonderful things you'd find in their, collected over the years from his many travels around the globe. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Paul Smith and Donna Loveday worked very closely to create the showcase to take you inside the mind of one of Britain's most famous designers. So whether you're a Paul Smith fan or not, if you're looking to be inspired or just fancy a nice day out, get yourself to the Design Museum!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17686557443038688269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469767865560664113.post-32022051923046978892013-11-27T05:41:00.001-08:002013-11-27T14:10:52.501-08:00Do Your Bit: Small Business Saturday 7th December <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fourthsource.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/small-business-saturday-uk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.fourthsource.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/small-business-saturday-uk.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In recent years, the British high street has been slaughtered by the ongoing recession, we've lost an array of British manufacturers from Woolworths to Republic, the Great British high street is soon becoming a thing of the past with consumers looking to spend more on luxury goods, luxury and economy (Primark etc) are two of the most successful markets at the moment. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Small, independent, local business are also being hit hard, which is why American Express came up with the 'Small Business Saturday' initiative which has now made its way over the pond to the UK. It basically encourages the public to, just for the one day, support their local stores and shun the massive chain supermarkets and restaurants. The idea started three years ago in the US to help small firms survive competitions from mainstream rivals, it boosted the turnover of small business by £3.5 billion.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ingeniousbritain.biz/latest-news/img/3126/width/600/oliver%20proudlock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.ingeniousbritain.biz/latest-news/img/3126/width/600/oliver%20proudlock.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">It only makes sense that this idea would work wonders in the UK, MP Chuka Umunna agreed and so decided to start one up over here. The initiative has been supported by a host of high profile names such as Dragons Den's James Caan, Mary Portas and Made in Chelsea's Proudlock.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">December 7th will be 'Small Business Saturday', so make sure to support your local butcher, restaurant, corner shop or vintage store next Saturday!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Karl Lagerfeld will open a flagship store on London's Regent Street for his self titled label Karl Lagerfeld in March 2014, it has been announced.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The store will be his largest in Europe to date, spanning an impressive 2,700 square feet and will sell both and mens and womens ready to wear and accessories. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Karl Lagerfeld's CEO has said that opening in Regent Street is an excellent opportunity as its the perfect position for this important market. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The store is set to incorporate impressive technology heavily, from the dressing rooms which will apparently contain photo booths with instagram like filters to a digital guestbook for customers to leave special comments for the designer. Its been said that luxury consumers are all about the experience and not the products now, it looks like Karl got the message. Keep your eyes peeled for more info!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17686557443038688269noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469767865560664113.post-86081298837626023962013-11-27T03:50:00.004-08:002013-11-27T03:50:47.051-08:00Is Street Wear Still A Thing?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Topshop Oxford Street (aka HELL) is home to hundreds of underground brands on its bottom floor, from Motel to Sister Jane they have it all. When I was wondering around the colossal store this Saturday I spotted a large section of Stussy sweatshirts and t-shirts merged in with the brands own lines on its first floor. My little knowledge of Stussy stems from my past relationship, he was one of them skinny white boys who listens to hip hop and says he loves skating but can't actually do it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Stussy is a clothing brand that started in California in the 80's and has now been adopted by street wearing, hip hop listening, tumblr lovin, Supreme types. It seems that Stussy has finally hit the mainstream, but doesn't everything after a while. I thought street wear was a thing of 2011 that disappeared with Tyler the Creator and the rest of Odd Future (minus Frank we love him) but with all the Air Jordans, Snapbacks and beanies all over the place it would seem that isn't the case. The popularity of street wear seemed to grow simultaneously with the popularity of street style, but it seems to me that a lot of people are well over street style so perhaps street wear is heading in the same direction soon. </span><br />

I remember being a kid and making lists on Microsoft Word that were around 4 to 5 pages long and expecting to receive everything on the list (I was a horrid child), as I've grown I've come to accept less however as I've matured so has my love for expensive goods, sorry mom, obviously the majority is what I would get in my dreams but ah well. Since I've moved away from home Christmas seems slightly different to me now, it sounds like philosophical bs but hang on, less about the presents and more about getting the see my fam and my cat and to finally eat a decent meal. But like I said, we can all dream, so heres my wishwishwish list for xmas 2013. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just thinking of what this all adds up to makes me feel quesy, as I say all very aspirational I don't expect an Antigona (a girl can dream) and the Larsson and Jennings watch is quite steep, perhaps I'll wait till my next loan goes in. Joking of course. Whats on your wish list this christmas?</span></span><br />

<a href="http://news.images.itv.com/image/file/294183/article_4740666a778425fe_1385050104_9j-4aaqsk.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://news.images.itv.com/image/file/294183/article_4740666a778425fe_1385050104_9j-4aaqsk.jpeg" /></a></div>
Many people think of the fashion industry as a bunch of snobs deciding whats cool and whats not but now and again fashion likes to show its generous caring side. In the midst of the dreadful typhoon that hit the Philippines the Beckhams did their bit for charity buy putting loads of their designer clothes for sale with all proceeds going toward those in the Philippines.<br />
Mac cosmetics have been helping for years, their limited edition Viva Glam lipsticks have been a huge success with campaigns fronted by the likes of Nicki Minaj and Ricky Marting with all profits going to charities helping HIV/AIDS sufferers. With the fashion industry being quite dominated by homosexual males, HIV is a big issue among most.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Also focusing on HIV is Maison Martin Margiela, who started a line of printed t-shirts with French charity 'Aides' available from LN-CC. Its €75 a pop but its all in the name of charity eh.<br />
Again helping AIDS, Swedish retailer H&M are in their fifth year of collaboration with Fashion Against Aids, with 25% of profits going towards AIDs awareness organisations.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Its not just AIDs however, over the years we've seen Jeans for Genes, Pink Ribbon and most recently Alexander Wang collaborated with Samsung and Art Start, a charity that aims to nurture the creative talents of at-risk kids. Wang and some of his creative pals used the Samsung Galaxy to create doodles that Wang then printed on to a lambskin backpack. Its not cheap at $550 a bag but from a designer such as Alexander Wang you can't expect it for much less and hey its for a good cause!<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Earlier this month it was rumoured that Lady Gaga was collaborating with Versace but at the time the Italian brand refused to comment on the rumours, until now when these images were released proving the rumours to be true.</span><br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/pc/Donatella+Versace+Lady+Gaga+Lady+Gaga+Donatella+OIzJT7lnvb9l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/pc/Donatella+Versace+Lady+Gaga+Lady+Gaga+Donatella+OIzJT7lnvb9l.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The campaign shot by Mert and Marcus features Gaga looking unnervingly like Donatella herself, in a tight lilac Versace dress with poker straight platinum blonde hair. The campaign says Lady Gaga for Versace which assumes she's had more to do with the campaign than just featuring in it. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When speaking of the collaboration Donatella said "I am honoured that my friend Lady Gaga is the face of our new Versace campaign, I wanted to capture her true beauty and spirit in images that are elegant and alluring. She is like family to me, the embodiment of the Versace DNA."</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Lady Gaga's recent album 'Artpop' even features a track named after Donatella, which Gaga described as a love letter to the designer, cute. </span></div>

Mulberry was rocked this summer when it was announced that Emma Hill would be quitting her position as creative director for the British handbag specialist. After creating the Alexa and Del Rey bags which proved to be a huge success, questions were asked about her departure, it was announced that she left after "disagreements with management over creative and operational strategy". For the six years whilst Hill was the the helm of Mulberry, the houses popularity greatly increased and they filled the whimsical, girly gap left by Luella. Hill also introduced entry-level price points which appealed to the younger Mulberry women with less cash to burn, this seems to be where the differences begun. In 2012 Bruno Guillon (previously of Hermes) was appointed chief executive of Mulberry and his sole intention seems to be to re-emphasise the luxury nature of Mulberry. For example in autumn 2012 oversaw a substantial increase in Mulberry's prices across the board.<br />

It seems Mulberry's troubles don't stop there. It was announced today that Mulberry will be backing out of Februarys Fashion Week, Mulberry was always one of the most anticipated shows with an a list packed front row so to see it go is sad. It seems that Mulberry is having trouble filling its creative director vacancy after Emma Hill left in June, rumoured successors have ranged from Erdem to Mary Katrantzou. Its been announced however that Mulberry will still feature in the LFW schedule but we'll have to wait till nearer the time for more info!<br />

<span lang="EN-US">For many years, fashion and music have gone
together hand in hand, both creative industries have helped each other thrive
and progress through massive collaborations. Fashion has used music as a source
of inspiration for years and vice versa, from the drug induced UK rave culture
of the 1980’s, where fashion quickly spilled over from the clubs to the catwalks, to subcultures, which are hugely dictated by the music they listen to.
Designers have decided to step up and go directly to the musicians for
collaborations which has pushed both industries to creative highs, its gone on
and beyond. Even the likes of film makers such as Nick Knight who has
collaborated with creatives from Alexander McQueen to Kanye West, have got involved. Bridging the
two has resulted in the creation of great art.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In recent years the trend has flourished, Burberry hold live
events showcasing some of Christopher Baileys favorite acts such as British
indie band White Lies, its even got to the point where the models turn to the
musicians. We all know models and rock stars go together like ring and yang, Agyness
Deyn (circa 2008) offered her vocals to unknown indie band Five
O Clock Heroes and Kate Moss featured on past boyfriend Pete Dohertys album for
Babyshambles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Pop/Illuminati (sorry, I had to) Princess Rihanna took the
high street by storm last year when she unveiled a collection designed
exclusively by her (we’re led to believe) for high street retailer River
Island. She even showed at London Fashion Week, surprisingly. Unless you
haven’t seen the collection you can easily imagine it was an array of bomber
jackets, camo, and mid riff bearing crop tops all of which you could imagine
Rihanna to wear herself. It was commercial and with her massive following it
was bound to be a massive success and has carried on over a couple of season.
It’s all wearable but each to their own I guess!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Unusually modest for a collaboration
featuring Kanye, this collection consisted of mainly denim jeans, hoodies and
t-shirts, staple items for most men. We all (unfortunately) remember the
previous debacle when Yeezy last attempted to break in to the industry much to
the distain of Anna Wintour, after that Kanye seeked advice from Jean Touitou,
head of French brand A.P.C which developed in to a beautiful friendship and resulted
in this basic but successful collab.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Although not classed as an official
collaboration it is probably one of the most influential. In the 80’s Vivienne
Westwood began designing clothes for Malcolm McLarens shop ‘Sex’ who also
happened to be the manager of punk band the Sex Pistols, the two styled the band
that helped develop the punk style which continued throughout the 70’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Bringing two musical geniuses together
simply wasn’t enough for Jay Z and Kanye West when they collaborated to create
Watch The Throne in 2011. West bought in good friend (and rumored ex boyf) to
create the duos album and single covers and even merchandise for their world
tour. As you can imagine from Jay Z, the biggest name in the industry, and
Yeezy, the biggest ego in the industry, the creative direction was ridiculously
extravagant, with lashings of gold and images of the duos faces merged with cheetahs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Although Daft Punk were initially

who has really given the Dj duo a push in recent years. His debut collection

When it was announced that Earls Court was set to be demolished one of the big questions was, so where will Graduate Fashion Week be hosted? As one of the most important events of the year for fashion graduates up and down the country this was the question on most students minds. Well we can finally reveal the answer! It has been announced that GFW 2014 will be hosted at the Truman Brewery, East London!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://supergrouplondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/BREWERY-AT-NIGHT.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://supergrouplondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/BREWERY-AT-NIGHT.jpg" /></a></div>
The Truman Brewery was the rumoured location for the event and now its finally been confirmed what do you think? We had a discussion in class, is Shoreditch still considered edgy and cool? Apparently so I imagine thats one of the main reasons this venue was selected, GFW describe it as 'Londons buzzing creative district'. What do you think of the chosen venue? How do you feel about having your work showcased there? I'd love to hear your thoughts!<br />

Image is a touchy subject when it comes to women and fashion, over the years we've had sickly thin, caucasian 5 foot 10 models shoved down our throats thanks to fashion imagery and runways all over the world. But do these images really illustrate the women who buy the clothes and what affect is it having on us and our perceptions of beauty.<br />
All Walks Beyond the Catwalk is an initiative created by Caryn Franklin that challenges the industry and the idea of 'perfect' that it has inscribed on our brains. Today Caryn came and spoke to us (fashion promotion) to give us more information on All Walks and to help us all think a little more about the pressing subject.<br />

Caryn has worked within the industry for around thirty years working at style title iD magazine and on The Clothes Show on the BBC, which means she's seen first hand how much fashion has changed over recent years. All Walks aims to inspire those in industry to use a more diverse range of models, diverse in race, size and age, as the constant use of stick thin caucasian models seriously affects young minds and implies to them that that is perfect and they are not.<br />
Its also the imagery that can affect our future generations, images that are overtly sexual or imply drug use can be found on the new stands daily.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://allwalks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3girls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://allwalks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3girls.jpg" /></a></div>
Caryn pointed out that you can't just do one successful campaign and hope the message sticks, you must reinforce it as often as you can. For example All Walks had a very successful campaign which starred models of all ages and sizes which featured in iD and at London Fashion Week. The campaign was a huge success and Caryn has worked hard to keep All Walks going strong.<br />
It has been proven that women are more likely to buy a product if its advertised on a life size model, the average dress size in the UK is a 16, so how can we constantly advertise to consumers on size 0 models? For example, the recent M&S campaign featuring stars such as Tracey Emin and Helen Mirren has been a hit and the dress worn by Helen Mirren sold out almost immediately, proving the point that if the target consumer sees the product on someone more like themselves it really does sell better.<br />
It really struck a chord with me, when Caryn mentioned about air brushing in beauty products, how they make you feel guilty if the product doesn't have the same affect on you as it does on the model in the advert and I really related, plenty of times I've tried mascaras and creams that haven't made a bit of difference and assumed it was my eyelashes or skin that was the problem.<br />

Its not just fashion that will have a lasting effect on girls everywhere look at the like of Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, these two are posed as role models for young girls everywhere. Both often talk about drugs and both promote being dominated and make it look like the only way to success is to act like a slut. The images we see daily show women like a 12 year old boys sexual fantasy, as though women are nothing more than cliché objects of lust or degredation. And with the likes of Terry Richardson, the known sex pest, contributing to magazines such as Vogue will it ever end? Heres a quote from Richardson himself that particularly disgusted me; <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"I was a shy kid," he has said, "and now I'm this powerful guy with a boner, dominating all these girls." Is this right? Should agencies allow models to have to go through this as the only way to have a successful career? Emotional blackmail at its seediest</span><br />

The talk from Caryn really opened my eyes to look more closely at fashion imagery and also going in to advertising and being a future creative we can really make a difference. I will be creating a short promotional film with <a href="http://www.thegibsondiaries.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Gibson Diaries</a> for All Walks in a week or two so keep your eyes peeled for more info!<br />

Yep, itssss Chriiiistmaaaaas (as Noddy would say). Since moving away for uni Christmas has become about going home seeing my family, central heating and proper food as opposed to gifts gifts gifts, for the likes of John Lewis and Marks and Spencers Christmas means money money money. <br />
<div>
Maybe its just me, but every year it seems to start earlier its always the question who's going to have the biggest ad? Who's going to show them first? Christmas ads seem to of become a huge part of the festive season and take up the majority of the , extremely frequent, X Factor adverts every saturday on the lead up to Christmas. </div>
<div>
This years offerings are all quite strong but the hype surrounding John Lewis' christmas ads often overshadows everyone else and this year they've pulled out all the stops.<br />
You've probably seen it but if you haven't heres the video. The advert features a hare and his best friend a bear, the bear misses Christmas much to the dismay of the hare so he buys his good friend an alarm clock for Christmas so he doesn't miss it. Its beautifully animated, the characters look fresh out of a Disney film (before they went all crappy and CGI) and it definitely tugs at the heart strings, mostly because of the delicate theme tune; a cover of Keanes Somewhere Only We Know by Lily Allen which will no doubt be a hit in the UK charts. It does beg the question though of what it is to do with John Lewis? Who knows but its certainly got the publicity it wanted.<br />

Marks and Spencers haven't been doing too well recently so they must of been anxious about drawing in customers with their Christmas ad. The ad features a host of stars from David Gandy (we all love a bit of the Gandy) to Helena Bonham Carter. It has a fairytale feel starting with Rosie Huntington Whitely (swoon) as Alice falling in to wonderland and losing her clothes as she does it. It references movies such as Wizard of Oz and Aladdin. Its sweet and dainty and gives Marks and Spencer a young feel. Unfortunately it didn't compel me to visit M&S, it did however make me feel the need to starve myself till I look like Rosie in my underwear, nice one M&S no trimmings for me.<br />

These ads are big deals to the high street, gaining publicity and consumers around this time of year is fundamental as currently the high street has the smallest customer share, do you think these ads will do the job? What do you think of them or have you seen any better ones? Let me know, I'd love to check them out as I am a such a Christmas whore its insane! </div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Mr Porter is a purely online retailer of luxury brands such as
Givenchy, Burberry and Lanvin and the cooler brother of womenswear online
retailer net-a-porter. Mr Porter was launched in 2011 and since has 22 million
page views monthly and stocks over 170 brands. Any male looking for stylish on
trend clothing online should visit Mr Porter as they stock everything from
Savile Row tailoring to Hunter willies. Note that this site is a directory for
luxury brands so the cheapest item you may find is a pair of Calvin Klein
boxers or a pair of Converse, so keep that in mind if you’re after a bargain. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Drakes London has a lot of heritage behind it, founded by Michal
Drake in 1977 and specializes in the little things that make a big difference
to a mans outfit. With a wide range of handmade ties, pocket squares and bow
ties it’s a must visit for the sophisticated gentleman looking for the perfect
accessories to a tailored look. The online store also offers tailored jackets
and shirts. This stuff doesn’t come cheap and the store is in the centre of
Mayfair so you get an idea of whom the Drakes customer would be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Edwin specializes in catering to the need for casual clothing; known
for their denim Edwin was established in 1947 in Japan. Their style is simple
and understated and the website has a lot to offer. Although being a denim
brand (the name Edwin comes from denim with the M turned round) they offer a
wide range of T-shirts, knitwear, outerwear and accessories to name a few. The
prices are middle of the road, nowhere near as expensive as Mr Porter but nowhere
near as cheap as Primark, the expected price for a quality product. If you live
in denim and love simple staple pieces check them out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Similar to Mr Porter, Matches is jam packed with on trend luxury
brands. Matches opened their first store in 1990 and have since gone on to
become one of the biggest names in luxury fashion retail. Again similar to Mr
Porter if you’re looking for a £50 blazer you’ve come to the wrong place.
However if you want a beautiful wool-silk printed Dolce and Gabana jacket and
have the £2, 750 to pay for it this is the site for you. With some of the
biggest names in fashion at your fingertips and everything from clothing to
bags and shoes to accessories Matches is the ideal site to feed your luxury
cravings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When I personally think of Foot Asylum I wouldn’t so much call it
menswear more ‘boyswear’. Most of you probably have heard of Foot Asylum as
they grace British shopping centres and high streets up and down the country.
Aimed at a more adolescent demographic, Foot Asylum specialized mainly in
trainers and footwear as the name suggests. They do however have quite an
extensive range of clothing from street brands such as Hype and Sik Silk. Trainers
are mostly Nike Air Max and canvas pumps such as Converse and Vans, Air Max
don’t come cheap at £95 quid a pair and probably the most expensive items on
the site. I’d say if you’re ages 16-18 and Gaz from Geordie Shore is your
fashion icon get yourself on to Foot Asylum otherwise this site isn’t for you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Oi Polloi is a store in Manchester, which first opened in 2002, catering
for the cooler male Oi Polloi features a range of contemporary classics with a
street feel. They claim to stock garments that remain relevant regardless of
the time, which means there are lots of simplistic staples for a men’s
wardrobe. Stocking brands such as APC, Penfield, New Balance and Norse Projects
they sell clothing, shoes and accessories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Prices vary depending on the brand but nowhere near in the range of

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Just like Oi Polloi, End Clothing started as a store up North
stocking street wear brands. End started in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2005. End
showcases the best in contemporary menswear and stock street wear, high – end
sportswear and casual and outdoor clothing. The brands stocked are similar to
Oi Polloi although there seems to be a great deal more products. Stussy, Fred
Perry, Carhartt and Moncler are just a few of the brands available from End, as
you know a Moncler jacket can set you back a grand or two whereas Fred Perry
can be much cheaper so again it depends what you buy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Oki-ni was founded in 2001 and is a sort of fusion between Oi Polloi
and Mr Porter. Offering cool, streat clothing but with a more conceptual luxury
edge. They pride themselves in discovering some of the most innovative and
inspiring new designers. You’ll find a wide range of brands from Raf Simons,
Rick Owens, Christopher Kane and Carven to more street brands such as New
Balance, North Face and Eastpak. Undeniably cool and minimal oki-ni is for the
male who teams his luxury fashion pieces with a good pair of New Balance
runners. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

from the crowd the store operates on an appointment-only basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The products are all minimalistic chic

It's hard to believe but 2013 is coming to a close, Halloweens over and it's really starting to get colder and now its all about Christmas, November has always been the long boring in-between month, however in recent years its become more commonly known as Movember.<br />
<div>
I thought that Movember was a relatively new concept however the phrase was first coined in 1999 (!!) in South Australia. Since then its come a long way and has raised both money and awareness. For those who don't know what it is (you must live under a rock) Movember basically involves males growing moustaches and facial hair for the whole of November in order to raise awareness for mens health issues such as prostate cancer and other cancers. This year even the Mr Men have got involved! (I kid you not)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.dailystar-uk.co.uk/dynamic/1/photos/488000/38488.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://images.dailystar-uk.co.uk/dynamic/1/photos/488000/38488.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
We all know that men aren't as open as women when it comes to talking about bodily issues so Movember is a great way of tackling this problem. Its also a nice treat for us ladies. </div>
<div>
Worldwide the charity has raised over £100 million for mens charities, to find out more info or donate visit uk.movember.com. So what are you waiting for boys?!</div>

Every time fashion week comes round its always interesting as every city has something to different to offer. Take Milan, the offerings from the Italian capital are always very different from that of say, London.<br />
<div>
Milan has a lot to offer in the way of new and upcoming talent, heres my top three picks to keep an eye open for!</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://islandistas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stella-jean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://islandistas.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/stella-jean.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.honestlywtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/stellajean2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.honestlywtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/stellajean2.jpg" /></a></div>
Firstly Stella Jean, born in Rome with Haitian roots the upcoming designer has already got people talking. Decribed by Vogue as 'one of Milan's brightest emerging fashion stars' Stella creates beautiful ethnic inspired designs. </div>
<div>
She caused more waves this season after being invited by Giorgio Armani himself to show in his Teatro space, in so being the only designer to share the space with Armani. Moreover its been said that most of her collection sold out on matches.com within the first week! In 2011 she won the Vogue Italia Who's On Next talent contest and hasn't disappointed since, definitely one to watch!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another promising name to remember is Marco De Vincenzo. After first showing four years ago Vincenzo has since become one of Milan's freshest talents, its been rumoured that major conglomerate LVMH is looking to snap him up, need I say more? Vincenzo is known for his obsession with texture and surface treatments, I love the look of his clothes, its very minimalist and chic.<br />

The last big name to look out for; MSGM. A brand created by Massimo Giorgetti in 2009. The brand is already well established in retail, stocked by matches, and hosting a few presentations, but last season marked the first time the brand has shown at Milan Fashion Week, and they didn't disappoint. What defines MSGM is the vivid use of print and mix-and-matching them to great effect. The collection nodded to the hawaiian trend with large tropical prints and tiki motifs.<br />

<a href="http://cdn.businessoffashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Marc-Jacobs-Louis-Vuitton-656x436.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.businessoffashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Marc-Jacobs-Louis-Vuitton-656x436.jpg" /></a></div>
When it was announced that Marc Jacobs was leaving Louis Vuitton ( :'( ) after 16 years with the french house, the question was who will take responsibility for this prestigious house now? Most set their bets on Nicholas Ghesquiere and they weren't disappointed. Its been confirmed that Ghesquiere will become creative director for Louis Vuitton, but what can we expect from him?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lambertandassociates-fashionofficeandtrendspotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Louis-Vuitton-Spring-2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.lambertandassociates-fashionofficeandtrendspotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Louis-Vuitton-Spring-2013.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>

Ghesquiere has already mentioned his love for the label and his respect for its heritage and deep history, which leads up to believe he'll be inspired by the brands heritage. He will show his first collection in March and I for one am excited to see what he produces, I was a huge fan of Marc Jacobs' work at Louis Vuitton so slightly apprehensive to see what will become of it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2012/11/05/05-nicolas-ghesquiere.o.jpg/a_4x-horizontal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2012/11/05/05-nicolas-ghesquiere.o.jpg/a_4x-horizontal.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
For now though, what we do know is that Ghesquiere did extraordinary things at Balenciaga, bringing a modern and fresh feel to the house so we can expect the same at Louis Vuitton. For now however its the waiting game till March and its safe to say we wait with baited breath, don't let us down Mr Ghesquiere!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">International lingerie brand Triumph have teamed up with Icelandic illustrator <span style="background-color: white;">Kristjana S Williams for its latest ad campaign. The brand, who's previous ads feature Louise Redknapp, have taken a very different turn with this new ad campaign, which could perhaps suggest Triumph are trying to get themselves noticed again. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://dcixv03g0kefe.cloudfront.net/assets/gallery/triumph3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://dcixv03g0kefe.cloudfront.net/assets/gallery/triumph3.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The adverts are quite graphicy and cartoony with a black and white photograph in the centre. The imagery seems to reflect what the brands about and its heritage, theres illustrations of reels of thread and tape measures. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">To give them credit the new ad is fresh and taking a new direction for them, however I'm not overly keen on it if Im honest, the illustration makes the image busy and somewhat hard to see the focal point of the advert. What do you guys think? Will this ad bring a new customer to Triumph? </span></span><br />

<a href="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/multimedia/dynamic/00377/STZ20MENSUITMAIN_377085k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/multimedia/dynamic/00377/STZ20MENSUITMAIN_377085k.jpg" /></a></div>
Everyone knows a well tailored suit can do wonderful things for a man, theres just something about a well groomed man in a suit. So its no wonder the market for mens tailoring is steadily growing and growing and being approached by high street brands meaning whatever your budget you can always look sharp.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.maketh-the-man.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/SM211_CMcn_01_NewLook_Downton_439_F2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.maketh-the-man.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/SM211_CMcn_01_NewLook_Downton_439_F2.jpg" /></a></div>
Most surprisingly perhaps, relatively cheap high street retailer New Look, who have just real eased their 'Downton' Collection as you can imagine, its a collection heavily inspired by British heritage so theres plenty of tartan, Herringbone, elbow patches and flat caps. Heavily cliched but the sharp tailoring does look impressive for the low price tags (£50 for a suit jacket, £18 for trousers) and will no doubt be a resounding success with the New Look customer.<br />
Elsewhere in Europe, and a little more upmarket, we have Tiger of Sweden who have been making news recently after opening a store in Piccadilly recently and then casting Rafferty Law, 16 year old son of Sadie Frost and Jude Law, as the lead in a recent promotional film. In the short clip Rafferty Law plays the 'rebel' whilst modelling the Swedish companies sharp tailoring.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the looks of things this is just a hint of whats to come for mens tailoring and I think its definitely one too watch to see what happens next. Below is the video for Tiger Of Sweden, let me know what you think!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;">As
you may have already noticed, British heritage is big news at the moment.
Everyone’s trying to get a little piece of Britain, no one however as much as
Li & Fung it would seem. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;">When we think of conglomerates we obviously jump
straight to the likes of LVMH, however Li & Fung are causing a stir in the
industry and are looking to become big news. China is constantly emerging, Li
and Fung is a trading empire founded in Hong Kong. William Fung along with his
brother Victor Fung are slowly but surely buying up the whole of Savile Row. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;">The family already controls </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Gieves & Hawkes, Hardy
Amies and Kent & Curwen and now they have recently purchased Savile row tailor
Kilgour, who has dresses a-listers from Daniel Craig to Jude Law. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Helvetica Neue";">Fung
Capital, a venture capital arm of Li & Fung, is said to acquire a third
brand from Savile Row within the next six months to form part of its new
portfolio called Savile Row Brands. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">It seems the Far East
are really looking in to investing in British Heritage and I feel this may just
be the beginning of an Asian take over. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
