With styling worthy of an over-sexed 20th Century military regime, lingerie house Agent Provocateur have launched their New World Order collection. Ignoring the superhero motifs that have influenced other parts of the collection, Agent Provocateur instead turned to over the knee boots and leather for the launch.
Though slated a major fashion trend for Winter 2010, it hasn't stopped a lot of people making the leather fashion trend a part of their Fall 2009 / Autumn 2009 wardrobe. Gossip Girl actress, Leighton Meester, is the latest star to join the ranks of Angelina Jolie and hit the streets wearing leather.
We've spotted Taylor Momsen in her underwear so it only stands to reason that when Lindsay Lohan took her seat next to Momsen at G Star's Spring 2010 catwalk during New York Fashion Week, she too was wearing the lingerie as outwear fashion trend by way of exposed stay-ups.
To say that I'm not always a fan of Rihanna's fashion choices could be putting it lightly, but today will definitely be an exception. Hitting the streets of New York the singer was spotted with a very standout Fleet Ilya handbag side-slung across her body. With a shoulder feature that fuses leather with a hint of the medieval, the Fleet Ilya leather bag not only dresses up an otherwise dull jump suit, it's also capable of diverting attention from the Rihanna's tacky-as-hell nails and jewellery.
If hacking a pair of lace tights isn't your thing, then turn instead to Wildfox Couture and partake in the lingerie as outwear fashion trend with a pair of their lace shorts.
Since Kate Moss started knocking out her collections for Topshop we've seen flapper Kate, vintage Kate, ethnic Kate - all, of course, with lashings of trademark rock-chic thrown in for good measure. Staying on top of the trends, Moss' latest venture for Topshop focuses on neo-grunge; with open-weave knits, stud detailing, and lush faux-fur; accessorised with the now ubiquitous trend of ripped stockings.
One label we're thrilled to be presenting at this year's High Fashion, High Tea - as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) 2009 - is the uber-cool Saint Augustine Academy.
Taking their cues from indie rock'n'roll; with skinny cuts, directional tailoring, and dandyism; their Spring/Summer 2009/2010 womens collection includes ruffle-front blouses, tuxedo-style details and sexy mod minidresses.
After some high-street interpretations of 2009 and 2010 fashion trends? Looking at Zara's Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009 campaign, it would seem they're on the mark. Accentuated shoulders, thigh high boots, and boyfriend jeans all feature. Toni Garrn models.
Things are looking up for Australian model Jess Hart. Just recently she's been named as the 2009 face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW); signed on to model for Victoria's Secret; and was announced as the face of swimwear label Seafolly.
Like most things from the British lingerie house, Agent Provocateur's swimwear has a habit of catching our eye. And no doubt the same can be said for Kate Moss, who was spotted recently soaking up the sun on one of St. Tropez's numerous yachts in an Agent Provocateur bikini.
