Win clothes from the Stella McCartney range
Want to get your hands on the hottest threads to his Australia this season?
To celebrate the launch of Fashionising, the social fashion network and the new home of Rogue's Lifestyle Blog, we're giving away several pieces from the range.
No Kate Moss Waiting List
And we don't mean to be her boyfriend, but it turns out that the much rumoured 'Kate Moss Waiting List' for the supermodel's Top Shop fashion capsule does not exist.
Seemingly, unless you've got some inside connections you're going to have to wait till 1 May.
Prada Uses Fake Fur
In sharp contrast to last season, Prada's most recent collection features only 'fake fur' using mainly wool and mohair. Designer Miuccia Prada said that she avoided use of real fur because its everywhere and she is 'bored' with it.
We just hope that it really is fake fur, and not the dog-fur that's been popping up everywhere claiming to be fake fur.
Toni Maticevski for Myer - Another Capsule
It seems we can't go five minutes these days without another designer/store collaboration being announced. Not that anyone is really complaining - but it certainly seems to be becoming a necessity for the survival of any chain or department store. The latest word is that Toni Maticevski will be designing a capsule collection for Myer.
The Maticevski for Myer collection will see dresses priced from $400 - $700, and will hit the department store next month.
A popular entry at New York Fashion week, Maticevski studied fashion at RMIT University in Melbourne.
Lily Allen Clothing Range Coming
Want to dress like British two-tone princess Lily Allen? You might not be the only one who wants her sense of style. New Look are counting on it.
In collaboration with New Look, Lilly will be behind a capsule collection called 'Lily Loves'.
The capsule will include 6 dresses and and is also expected to include footwear (no doubt trainers) and jewellery.
It'll be released in May.
Stella McCartney's Target Range Prices
Pricing information on Stella McCartney's exclusive range for Target Australia has emerged.
Stella McCartney for Target Australia
Stella McCartney is certainly a busy woman. With her own collections, and a number of capsules for other lines and stores including H&M, it has been revealed that the designer has created a 42 piece capsule for Target Australia.
Zac Posen's Fashion Rules
Described as having the "mastery of Christian Dior and Madame Vionnet" 26 year old designer would like to share some fashion tips with all men. Complimenting Sean Combs and having him as a financial backer might seem a little skewed, but there are still some ideas to be gleaned.
2. You should always carry a handkerchief. It's a courteous thing to have. If I'm out at night, I keep a handkerchief on hand for a lady.
5. Beautiful pyjamas are essential. The best are Sea Island cotton plaid ones from Turnbull & Asser.
Christopher Kane for Topshop
He wowed us with his super-bright, super-tight mini-dresses at the Spring 2007 collections (seen below). Now Christopher Kane is taking his designs to the masses via a capsule collection for Topshop.
According to Vogue UK:
H+M Off The Mark with Madonna
Apparently, Madonna will design a fashion range for H&M. The 'M by Madonna' range, we're told, will be released in March 2007.
The question is: how many people actually want to look like Madonna? And we're not talking Madonna in her hey-day, when she somehow managed to make dark eyebrows and bleached hair look fashion forward. We're talking about Madonna today. In recent times we've seen her all too often in tracksuit pants, doing freaky acrobatics in high-cut leotards and taking on the world one orphan at a time with those veiny Rocky-esque bicepts. Although the descriptions of Madonna as a style chameleon and successful cultural phenomenon can hardly be refuted, the question is more of her relevance to fashion today. Do the younger generations, who are the target audience of stores like H&M, want to dress like Madonna?
H&M have had some highly successful collaborations in the past with popular and well-regarded fashion designers. It would seem that Kate Moss being picked up by TopShop may just have rival retailers clambering for their own celebrity-named lines in response.
Move over Stella McCartney - that's what fashion's all about.
