What a transformation. We haven't seen Cameron Diaz stealing the spotlight much these days, but a pair of Prada's out-there thigh-high boots and a peroxide blonde, sexed-up bob and suddenly it's hard to take your eyes off her. Covering the July/August issue of V Magazine, Diaz's shots were expertly taken by photographic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Cheap Monday is a label that, seemingly, can do little wrong; many a fashioniser has indulged in their denim, and few have any negatives the level against the brand. Having met people's expectations thus far, the Swedish brand is looking to raise the bar. Enter London based designer Ann-Sofie Back whose Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection is her debut for the brand.
And what a debut it is! Street fashion in every sense, the collection features both men's and women's pieces that simply ooze fashion trends.

Jessica Alba has the great fortune of a mocha complexion that suits either light or dark hair colours. She stepped out a few days ago in a pair of ripped jeans, sporting a new blonde hairstyle. But while peroxide blonde has been a hair trend in 2009, Alba's shade is more a natural blonde that won't quickly date.

Lingering in the space between fetish, biker, and rock-chic, model Abbey Lee Kershaw dons a variety of leather getups and thigh-high boots for Vogue Nippon, July 2009. The shoot - titled Sweet Child of Mine - was snapped by Terry Richardson but sticks to polished editorial style rather than Richardson's trademark rawness.

Here's one unique way to inject some oversized bows into your wardrobe. Sydney label All Of Our Lives specialise in bow-ties and other fancy bits of neck-wear. Their Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009 lookbook caught our eye for the bold colours, quirky names, and dashing whimsicality.

You can't look past Herve Leger when it comes to the cut-away bikini trend, and Lindsay Lohan seems to know it. She wore Leger's red bandage bikini at her 23rd birthday celebration last week. But while fringing as a summer shoe trend is still going strong, Lindsay was way off with her black fringed heels - the shoes looking far too heavy for her otherwise light and beachy ensemble.

Picking up a piece that is hand-crafted or individualised in some way is always an extra special shopping experience. We love S.LOVE's debut collection for its gorgeous dresses and scarves - in which each piece is hand-painted. The overall effect is of soft, sophisticated pieces with an edge, that ultimately tie sweetness and sexiness together.

As far as the thigh-high boots trend goes, I can't say that Louis Vuitton's version are the most practical as a long-term investment. That won't stop them being featured in plenty of magazine editorials and photo-shoots though. We most recently spotted them on Madonna in her latest campaign for Louis Vuitton.
The July 2009 issue of Numero Korea includes a shoot featuring Maryna Linchuk in lingerie, LV boots, and sometimes no clothes at all.

As the Men's 2010 Spring/Summer runways continue, John Galliano brings an eclectic and highly ethnic inspired set of outfits with his Spring/Sumer 2010 collection.
From the far reaches of the Middle East to the distant history of British India, Galliano takes global inspirations and does what he does best: costumery. Galliano's man starts off in turbans, sandals, and earthy tones of brown, mustard and burnt orange; before traversing more tailored looks that bear to mind Imperial Britain. As with his previous collection, Galliano also dabbles in some military detailing. Modern sneakers and combat gear in some cases snap the looks back to present day reality; but the overall feeling of historical costume remains.

A few days ago we brought you a first picture; and now here are more shots from the Madonna for Louis Vuitton campaign for Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2010.

Taking its cues from hit TV show Gossip Girl, Anna Sui's collection for Target features bright colours, neck bows, and girly minidresses. The collection hints at Sui's signature quirky style, but will sell for a fraction of the price at Target stores US wide.

Here's another lingerie collection that warrants a mention, if for nothing else than for its ability to turn highly functional underwear into a gorgeously soft and sexy lookbook. The La Perla Studio collection for Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009 features seamless pieces in nude and black that slightly raise the bar on how good seamless lingerie can actually look.
