Cheap Monday is a label that, seemingly, can do little wrong; many a fashioniser has indulged in their denim, and few have any negatives the level against the brand. Having met people's expectations thus far, the Swedish brand is looking to raise the bar. Enter London based designer Ann-Sofie Back whose Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection is her debut for the brand.
And what a debut it is! Street fashion in every sense, the collection features both men's and women's pieces that simply ooze fashion trends.
Lingering in the space between fetish, biker, and rock-chic, model Abbey Lee Kershaw dons a variety of leather getups and thigh-high boots for Vogue Nippon, July 2009. The shoot - titled Sweet Child of Mine - was snapped by Terry Richardson but sticks to polished editorial style rather than Richardson's trademark rawness.
You can't look past Herve Leger when it comes to the cut-away bikini trend, and Lindsay Lohan seems to know it. She wore Leger's red bandage bikini at her 23rd birthday celebration last week. But while fringing as a summer shoe trend is still going strong, Lindsay was way off with her black fringed heels - the shoes looking far too heavy for her otherwise light and beachy ensemble.
As far as the thigh-high boots trend goes, I can't say that Louis Vuitton's version are the most practical as a long-term investment. That won't stop them being featured in plenty of magazine editorials and photo-shoots though. We most recently spotted them on Madonna in her latest campaign for Louis Vuitton.
The July 2009 issue of Numero Korea includes a shoot featuring Maryna Linchuk in lingerie, LV boots, and sometimes no clothes at all.
As the Men's 2010 Spring/Summer runways continue, John Galliano brings an eclectic and highly ethnic inspired set of outfits with his Spring/Sumer 2010 collection.
From the far reaches of the Middle East to the distant history of British India, Galliano takes global inspirations and does what he does best: costumery. Galliano's man starts off in turbans, sandals, and earthy tones of brown, mustard and burnt orange; before traversing more tailored looks that bear to mind Imperial Britain. As with his previous collection, Galliano also dabbles in some military detailing. Modern sneakers and combat gear in some cases snap the looks back to present day reality; but the overall feeling of historical costume remains.
A few days ago we brought you a first picture; and now here are more shots from the Madonna for Louis Vuitton campaign for Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2010. Photographer Steven Meisel weaves some serious photoshop magic, and the end result is a set of artful photos that don't attempt to cling too much to reality.
A perfect tie-in with this year's Regency revival men's hair trend comes Our Swords, an editorial by photographer Cameron Krone.
Sharing the same inspirations that shaped Karl Lagerfeld's Pre-Fall 2009 collection for Chanel, Flair Italy editorially captures the luxury of Tsarist Russia in their July 2009 issue. Moving away from the folkish elements of the luxury bohemian trend, the ornate headpieces and opulent furs make for highly striking shots, however less likely to be emulated on the streets.
We absolutely adore Keira Knightley here at Fashionising.com, so back when we found out that she would be appearing for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle campaign, we brought you some of the first shots. Now we're hearing that she will be reprising the role. A photo has surfaced from what we believe is the new campaign for the fragrance featuring a gorgeous Keira a sheer white blouse, Chanel pearls, and braces.
Whomever is currently styling Megan Fox on her promotional tour for Transformers II, I doff my hat to you. Thanks to you we've been impressed with two instances of the Grecian dress trend (first in Berlin then again in LA), and then there was some very tasteful sheer fashion in Korea. And it was much the same story when it came to her appearing on the Late Show With David Letterman.
Except more so.
