Travelling in style is not just about looking great when you step off a plane – it’s about turning your suitcase into a mobile wardrobe. That means fitting in everything you need (without earning a dreaded ‘overweight luggage’ tag) and having it arrive in the best possible condition when you get there.

“A realist, in Venice,” Arthur Symons once remarked, “would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.” And that romanticism has captured the hearts and imaginations of many poets and artists throughout history. We might well add photographers to that list, too. For the photographer, Venice is a subject that needs no makeup, no styling or fancy lighting tricks to enhance…

It’s been a good few years since the leather motorcycle jacket resurged as a wardrobe staple, and it’s steadily maintained its appeal ever since.

If I said “Resort fashion” you probably imagine floral prints and tiny swimsuits, with the odd kaftan thrown in for good measure. The Resort fashion ‘season’ promises so much, and yet few of us actually want it to deliver.

It was Marie Antoinette gone punk when Chanel's Cruise 2012/2013 collection sailed down the runway at the Palace of Versailles.

The Bond Girl has entered literary and cinematic mythology as an unmatched beauty; a rare and potent mix of danger and vulnerability, strength and seduction. Dusasn Jaukovic’s new shoot for Fashionising.com titled For Your Eyes Only doesn’t borrow literally from the 007 adventure of the same name, but it does mix up that undeniable recipe of Bond Girl qualities.

BABYLON by Bernard Gueit is opulent and dark, hinting at the the richness that we imagine an Ancient civilisation might have revelled in. It comes as no surprise that this shoot was lensed for FASHIONTREND Magazine’s Erotica issue – an issue that has already proven an understanding that erotic means more than just a display of nudity. Like the issue’s cover story, this one earns…
