Roberto Cavalli’s drama

The drama of a Roberto Cavalli collection doesn’t always translate smoothly. Nor are Mario Testino’s campaigns always something to behold. But together, for Cavalli’s spring / summer 2013 campaign, everything just clicks.

Our guide to the trends of the year: your place to keep a track of what 2013 holds. If you're looking for all the year's fashion trends and what's shaping them, read on.

Jessica Choay A/W ’12 revisited

Jessica Choay‘s play between lingerie and outerwear continues to catch our eye. It’s rare for a day to go by where we don’t happen across her label’s winter 2012 campaign being shared on the likes of Pinterest or Tumblr; and with good reason – the images are evocative. Look books can tell a truer story about a collection’s pieces, however. The way pieces sit in…

Happy Christmas & thank you

It’s been a hell of a year for all of the team at Fashionising.com. There are a horde of statistics I could share with you, tales of travel, indulgent purchases, parties, and more. But rather I’d rather share but one thing with you: a thank you.

Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2013

Zac Posen is always about feminine elegance of the structured kind, but his pre-fall 2013 collection grabs the spotlight with even more drama than usual. With their billowed sleeves, fanned frills and fishtails, Posen’s gowns are not only red carpet worthy, they’re the kind that have a transformative power to draw a woman’s chin up high and install her with a kind of emphatic poise…

Gender, humour and Niels Peeraer accessories

It’s likely that you’ve skipped your dosage of hackneyed Internet culture over the past fortnight if you haven’t encountered Liu Xianping. For those who need a refresher on Xianping, he’s the 72 year old cross-dressing gent with Yoda good looks and a penchant for modelling the clothes sold through his granddaughter’s online store. That descriptor makes Xianping sound only slightly better than listening to Rebecca…

Four interpretations of Jessica Chastain

January 2013‘s fashion magazine covers are slowly emerging, each revealing how print editors perceive the new year’s vibe. If you take a look at one of W magazine’s covers, you’ll may come away with a sense of 2013 as a year ready for another 1970s fashion comeback.

Kate Moss & Naomi Campbell laid bare

Updated with second cover after the break. The original supermodels aren’t going anywhere. Devoid of clothes, Naomi Campell and Kate Moss share the cover of Interview Russia’s December 2012 cover. You can see the full photo after the break.

Daniel Wellington watch; my new timepiece

I inhertied my passion for horological finery at about the same time I developed my passion for suits (the watches, perhaps, came first), and I inherited both from the same man. At first it was a digital watch here and a Timex piece there (as an aside, Timex have the loudest tick I’ve ever encountered – light sleepers, beware), but before long it was a…

Going platinum: white blonde hair colour

Hair colour can change - can redefine - your look. And if there's a colour that truly makes a statement, it's a bold platinum blonde. For 2012 and 2013 it's a colour that fits neatly with retro revivals and modern fashion alike. Is it for you? Read on for the full report.

Lara Stone distracts

The plunging neckline guarantees you’ll overlook the perm that takes up most of Lara Stone’s cover for i-D magazine’s winter 2012 issue.

A minimalist Eniko Mihalik

Hungarian model Eniko Mihalik covers the December 2012 issue of Numéro China with a minimalist expression, a minimalist coat from Celine’s winter 2012 collection and contrary hair.
