The holiday season is over us and the designer boutiques and department stores have started rolling out their christmas and winter displays. Some are really subtle, some are really in your face, whilst some are so plain that you can’t really tell it’s a christmas window. More pictures after the jump.
Fashion month is over. For the past few seasons we have posted playlists with some of our favourite tracks from the catwalks, and this season is no different. In this post we present to you, 15 of our favourite tracks from the Spring/Summer 2011 shows. The songs are as different as the collections – some are edgy, some are classic and some are completely unexpected.
Last post from this side of the Atlantic as I head back to the Old World stupidly early tomorrow morning. Anyhoo, here’s more fashion windows from Dallas. This time from the NorthPark mall.
Powerful full lips, ginger red hair, dramatic body pose, that is Kristen McMenamy. I vividly remembered her from my early teenage time by flipping through Elle and my finger tips stopped at the Versace advert. There she stood and seemed shouting out—-’I am the 90s power women!!’
Even with the cutsey floral print in Prada’s campaign just before mid 90s, she still looks very powerful and womenly there. The young I used to think how perfect she looks there and dreamt about myself how I would want to look like her when grown up.
Lanvin invited her back last year for their campaign which is a real surprise to me as I couldn’t recognise her at all.
Until she had the offical catwalk return appreared on Viktor & Rolf AW2010 catwalk show just finished in Paris.
I know it’s absolutely crime to mention a lady’s age but being 43 and looking like this, she is a true Super Woman!
There’s no doubt that choosing the right music for a fashion show is important. I once read an interview with a designer who said that it can be compared to selecting the right soundtrack to a movie. It not only sets the mood, it also helps the spectators understand the designer’s vision and inspiration. I’ve compiled a list with some of the tracks used by designers for the spring/summer 2010 shows. Listening to some of these songs makes me wonder – what do these songs tell us about the collections? The inspiration? The person who buys them? Or even the label or designer?
The past three months have been insanely busy, so I haven’t had the opportunity to post much. However, I have been writing a few drafts in this period that I will try to wrap up and post in the coming few days. First one up – Fashionomics!

Just overheard Hilary Alexander on Versace: 'the only show where the heels measured more than the skirts.' Very true.

There’s an economic theory that says that hemlines rise in good economic times and drop in poor times. If one was to judge by the hemlines at some of the fashion show weeks this season, the economy is definitely skyrocketing next year and the recession will finally be over.
