Prada shoes

I was shooting for Red Magazine at the beginning of the week and spied these absolute beauties hidden under the clothes rail!

 

Commes des Garcons – Undercover Holygrapie

 

I was at Berlin Fashion Week recently and I came across this fragrance in a fantastic store called The Corner. A collaboration between Comme des Garçons and Jun Takahashi, the perfume is based on Jun’s handmade stuffed toy and is made up of purple ginger, mandarin, rhubarb and pepper. It is going to be my summer fragrance.

 

 

 

Paris Haute Couture S/S12

Christian Dior

I’ve always admired John Galliano’s work, but this collection with Bill Gaytten at the helm really embodies everything I feel Christian Dior should be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Versace

After a hiatus from couture since 2004, Versace Atelier returned with a most beautiful collection. After seeing Angelina Jolie in Versace at the Golden Globes last week I could not wait to see this – and I was totally blown away.

Givenchy couture s/s12

 

 

 

 

 

 

Givenchy

The most beautiful clothes in the world! Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci is always an eye-opener and this was no exception – detailed and exquisite!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Menswear A/W12 round-up Part 3

Left: 3.1 Phillip Lim

The prints, graphic shapes and shoes of this collection are great! I also really like the bags this season.

Right: Lanvin

Beautiful. I am a sucker for Lanvin and was not disappointed by this collection. I love the muted palette and the ruffled hair – if I had an unlimited budget I would buy it all.

Acne

A great range made up of defined casual pieces – one of my favourite everyday brands.

Right: Maison Martin Margiela

I adore the structure, fluidity and biscuity tones.

Dries Van Noten

One of my all-time favourite designers and one of its best shows! I really do want one of everything from this collection and I love the shoes!

Love it! An absolutely beautiful collection, I pretty much want every piece from this collection.

 

Mugler

I am really impressed with how Mugler has been turned around, the show was exceptional and the shoes are sensational!

 

Marc Jacobs

I really like the utilitarian feel of this with an added sense of humour. I look forward to seeing this in the stores.

 

Marc Jacobs

Jonathan Saunders

One of my all time favourites. I love the colours, the prints, the cuts. In fact I love every single thing about it!

Alexander Wang

This is really up my street and if I had to choose one designer this season, it would have to be Alexander Wang.

 

Golden Globes 2012

Golden Globes Ladies 2012

I relish the awards season and wait in anticipation to see what everybody is wearing and, of course, how they style their hair. Here are my top five looks from the Golden Globes.

Angelina Jolie

 

 

 

Angelina Jolie – Atelier Versace

Beautiful! One thing that I noticed at the Golden Globes was that hair was softer and less structured – this was left to the clothes and make-up. Angelina wore the most beautiful dress, along with red lipstick and her hair pulled back in to a simple elegant style. Top marks!

Kate Winslet

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kate Winslet – Jenny Packham

I love Kate Winslet, this is a classic outfit with a gently textured side-sweep that sits perfectly within the overall look.

Natalie Portman

 

 

 

 

 

 

Natalie Portman – Lanvin

This dress is ridiculously good: everything about it is signature Lanvin. There is a classic touch to the hair but the uneven surface texture maintains a modern femininity.

Madonna

 

 

 

 

 

 

Madonna – Reem Acra

My list would not be complete without a mention of Madonna – she knows how to get it right. I adore this Reem Acra dress and the soft disheveled waves in her hair.

Julianne Moore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Julianne Moore – Chanel Haute Couture

Julianne Moore is a goddess. She looks absolutely stunning in and has kept this totally simple, only adding a flash of colour with her earrings. The best look of the night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden Globes Chaps 2012

Just thought that I would add these three handsome chaps for a bit of eye candy.

Michael Fassbender

 

 

 

Michael Fassbender – Emporio Armani

 

 

 

 

 

 

Channing Tatum

 

 

Channing Tatum – Prada

 

 

Matthew Morrison

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matthew Morrison – Dolce & Gabbana

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom Ford advertising campaign

Tom Ford

 

A new year means the new advertising campaigns are in full force across the glossies and my first favourite of the season is Tom Ford. This man is a God as far as I am concerned and these images are fantastic. Tim shot these images himself with his new chosen one, model Mirte Maas and Mathias Bergh. Both appear stunning in his new collection-and look at those shoes!

YSL Rive Gauche

YSL Rive Gauche

I am currently having a bit of a retro moment with regards to my choice of scent. I have been slightly obsessing over an old favourite of mine, YSL Rive Gauche. A subtle mix of bergamot, geranium leaf, vetiver and clove, it is a great scent for this time of year.

 

 

 

 

 

Annie Leibovitz

Annie Leibovitz

Just before Christmas I had the absolute pleasure of working with the one and only photographer Annie Leibovitz for a shoot that I am not actually allowed to talk about at the moment. So as soon as it is published I will pop it up on here, obviously this was one of the most amazing days of my career!

Happy 2012!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a great 2012, it is already shaping up to be a brilliant year.

Oribe 24-Karat Gold Pomade

An absolute must for the Christmas season, this pomade is perfect for glamming up any do, just swipe a small amount over the surface over your hair  and you are ready to go!

Daphne Guinness x Mac

Daphne GuinnessI love Daphne Guinness and these ads that she has done for Mac. The colours are really beautiful, apparently inspired by pigeon blood…

Inspired! Headpieces at Giles and Alexander McQueen

Giles S/S12

The genius that is Stephen Jones was responsible for the marvellous swan headdresses that sat on top of the beautifully unstructured hair at Giles. I absolutely loved these pieces! Guido prepared the beautiful braids that sat underneath the exquisite headpieces at Alexander McQueen, truly beautiful.

Henry Holland sunglasses

House of Holland

I shot these images for Henry’s sunglasses collaboration with Lespecs  in the summer and very proud of them I am too! We wanted to go for a wet look, so we dampened the hair with water then sprayed the hair with Capilo Brilliant Diamant; an amazing gloss spray that I get from Cyro Lydo in Paris.

Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray

Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray

This range of products never ceases to astound me and on a recent trip to New York City I picked this up and I am loving it. You can use it on wet and dry hair and it gives you the most beautiful and modern texture. AMAZE!
