Abbey Lee Kershaw v Alexander McQueen

It's not often that we get to see models of the calibre of Abbey Lee Kershaw doing backflips in Prada and Alexander McQueen. Yet this shoot by Ben Hassett allows us to do just that.

Louis Vuitton gets womanly for Fall 2010

It takes some effort to make twig-thin, leggy, gorgeous models look frumpy and bad. Marc Jacobs apparently had enough time on his hands to make that happen when he designed the Fall 2010 collection for Louis Vuitton. But where he did excel was in casting the not-so-twig-thin models. Then, only then, did the charms of the collection really become clear.

And so it was that the curvy Victoria's Secret cast were clothed not once but twice during the international runway season: in Prada's Fall 2010 show and again at Vuitton. More of the Mad Men era mid-calf full skirts, cardigans and bouncy ponytails were perfectly classic, this time with a Parisian twist. Busts and hips were accentuated.

John Galliano, forever eccentric: Fall 2010

So what did you expect to see from John Galliano - Demure? Shy? Shrinking violet fashion statements? We think not. Keeping true to form his Fall 2010 collection is a spectacle as much as it is anything else. It is nomad meets demonic temptress, I dream of Jeannie meets the dark side.

Planet Earth is burning

With Paris Fashion Week over it can no longer we said / sung that "Paris is burning." Planet Earth however... Global warming seems more prominent of late, at least in fashion editorials.

While Eniko employed both cutting edge fashion and equipment to help fight global warming (follow the previous link if that makes little sense) model Denisa Dvorakova has simply taken to the desert. Her motorcycle may be old school, but her fashion is equally as on trend as Eniko's; thoguh I can't help but feel that D&G tap pants mightn't be the most sensible of choices for such an environment.

What does Givenchy pay their models?

Ever wondered what models get paid to do a fashion week? Along with a rather disheartening story about the Givenchy Autumn / Fall 2010 casting, Page Six names a figure:

Lara Stone: the studs, the cigarette, the hair

It's the contrast of the golden studs against the black t-shirt dress and cardigan that seems most powerful; against the stone background they can't help but stand out. But it's the finishing details that always go a long way to creating the effortlessly cool 'off duty model' look.

For Lara it's the barely there cigarette, catwalk make-up dominating bleached eyebrows and that hair: the most popular of 2010's hairstyles, the side braid.

Elle magazine: report for duty

The military trend continues to explode into fashion pictorials in an understated, utilitarian way. Elle magazine gives us some particularly soft and feminine takes, like this beige trench, vampish red lipstick and 1940's waved hair, which works particularly well.

Flash Walk: The Spirit of the Black Dress

You've heard of a flash mob... (a whole bunch of people in a public place assemble and do something that would appear random but is actually choreographed - like a huge organised dance routine, supermarket musical, or pillow fight - youtube it if you don't believe me). But what about a flash walk?

The conceptual collision of flashmobs and catwalks, this surprise parade made its way down Melbourne's Flinders Street on Tuesday morning, previewing pieces that we'll soon see at The Spirit of the Black Dress exhibition.
