Flocks: Garments With a Story
Ever bought something woollen and wondered which sheep it came from? Probably not. But Netherlands label Flocks have decided you should know, and truth be told the concept is rather cute.
Each Flocks garment is tagged with an ID number of the little sheep that provided the wool, and comes with a certificate detailing breed, weight, year and place of birth, and a picture of the animal.
Blogger Interview: Knickers Blog
Last week it was Red Carpet Style Awards - this week we're chatting to Fashioniser and resident underwear expert, Danae from Knickers Blog.
What made you choose the topic of underwear for your blog?
Before I moved to Scotland, I knew nothing about underwear -- I just bought ugly white bras from Wal-Mart. Once I moved, however, I got professionally fitted and found out I was an F-cup. I had no idea F-cups even existed, so I started looking online for more information about bra-fitting and what was available in my size. When I couldn't find anything, I decided to set up my own site.
Who makes the best lingerie, in your opinion?
Now that's a tough question! There are too many amazing labels for me to have an all-time favourite, but I can break them down by category: for larger-cup sizes, I swear by Miss Mandalay - the fit is excellent and the bras are colourful and different. For luxury basics, Eres and Huit are great at being really simple and really gorgeous. For something really bold and sexy, Lascivious is amazing as are Modern Courtesan, who are about to launch their first collection. And if you want something traditional and beautifully made, you can't go wrong with Aubade.

Fashioniser wins Design Competition
Congratulations to fellow Fashioniser Cyan Reign for winning the Jeans for Genes "Do It With Denim" fashion design competition. She beat out hundreds to come first with her exciting and unique designs.
She says of her works, "I create glamorous and free spirited clothing with a mature sophistication and occasional avant garde edge. The focus is on spontaneity and dramatic statements."
Elite Model Management wants you!
Well, one of you at least.
Elite Model Look Australia 2007 is almost upon us and they are looking for the next big model and I think it could be one of our members!
And The World's Richest Supermodel Is...
Gisele Bundchen! Forbes magazine recently ranked the top 10 richest supermodels, placing Gisele first after she starred in 20 campaigns in one year and was the star of Victoria's Secret, earning $33 million.

Despite her affiliation with Victoria's Secret ending recently, Gisele reportedly earned almost four times more than Kate Moss, who came in second with an annual income of $9 million.
Blogger Interview: Red Carpet Style Awards
There are so many great blogs and sources of fashion information on the web. We decided it was high time we interviewed a few of our favourite fashion bloggers to find out what makes them tick. First up, we asked a few questions of the fashion critic behind Red Carpet Style Awards.
Tell us something we don't know about you:
Despite loving fashion, I used to be a tom boy at school. I was always hanging out with boys, talking about football, which I still love to his day. I only got into fashion and girly things when I went to college and discovered boys liked me as more than just a friend to hang around with.
Who is your all-time favorite style icon?
Cate Blanchett. She is always impeccably dressed. I get goosebumps looking at her such is her perfection.
What is the most valuable piece of style advice anyone has ever given you?
My mum said, "Always wear matching underwear".
Three things you're loving right now are:
1. Hervé Léger dresses (pictured below on Victoria Beckham). If only I had to guts to wear something so tight.
2. Roberto Cavalli designing a range for H&M
3. Christian Louboutin Shoes.
Fashgasm: C-Strings will hurt you, as will the Queen
Damien Hirst first made the Platinum Skulls, now he's moved on to making bracelets, this time hopefully not using real teeth.
If you thought a thong could be uncomfortable, the C-string will make your eyes water... Or get you off.
Fashion in film: Jimi Hendrix
We're always interested in how fashion trends are influenced and created; and one influence, we often find, is film. In recent memory there have been subtle influences in Sienna Miller's boho styling in 'Alfie' and later her 60s minidresses in 'Factory Girl' - while 'The Devil Wears Prada' sparked a revival in the blunt-cut fringe.
The hippie era has been seeping back into everyday life by way of 'foho', flared jeans, maxi-dresses and flowing long hair. And with a Jimi Hendrix biopic in the works, we're anticipating that the hippie influences of the 60s and 70s will make even more of a mark.
Nelly Furtado wears a fake designer dress
We recently reported on Nelly Furtado performing in what looked to be one of Christopher Kane's creations – as it turns out, it's nothing but a cheap knock-off.
Celebrities play a massive role in promoting fashion - from upcoming talents to long-established luxury designers. Wearing a fake (on stage and in the press where it's bound to be seen by lots of people) is pretty much an insult to the person who put a lot of thought into designing something creative and unique, only to have it lazily copied by someone else.
