Those who balk at the sheer clothing trend often do so because of exactly this kind of look: it’s still considered extreme. And because it’s worn by a model, in this case Abbey Lee Kershaw, they believe that such a statement can only be made either on the catwalk or at a party by those to traverse the catwalk for a living. Of course, that…

Abbey Lee Kershaw is back and this time she returns with a rockstar bang! Inspired by the 70s rock n’ roll era, Japanese label Moussy’s fall / winter 2011 campaign is all about leather and tweed. Terry Richardson photographs this rare fabric combination, unsurprisingly in his trademark against-a-bare-wall setting. Worn out denim jackets contrast with a fur-laden throw. As bell sleeves, wide-rimmed hats and lace-up…

Gucci’s fall 2011 collection was one of the most glamourously colourful to navigate the Milan runways, so it rather seems odd to flood the associated campaign with projections that muddy the otherwise pristine jewel hues of the clothing. It’s none the less an interesting effect; as if the colour and light playing across each image were from some theatre reel of footage of the same…

A lot has changed since model Jessica Hart lived in London. Fast forward five years and the native Australian has risen to the top of the international modeling game with a host of high profile international campaigns and catwalk appearances under her belt. This week she returned to the city to unveil her own fashion label, Neon Hart, at the legendary Selfridges department store. Fashionising.com’s…

Months ago when we first predicted that the sheer maxi dress would become a women’s statement trend, there were many naysayers. Those people thought it implausible that something both see-through and floor-length would enter the everyday wardrobe. But before long the fall 2011 runways joined the party and then more and more sheer dresses and skirts were spotted on the street. No longer just for…

There is nothing profound here, but there is a question: with their budgets and their access to people who are actually well versed in using Photoshop, when can we expect more from old media?

Much like the accompanying cover, Abbey Lee Kershaw‘s shoot from inside Numero’s latest issue is marked by sleek hair and strong outfits. There’s a sports theme: but far less about the sweatbands-and-football-socks sportswear, as was so popular last year, and more an evolution into applying the form-fitting slickness of traditional sporting wares and applying them to styling with an air of sensuality. As such, leather…

A pair of Prada shoes peeking with intent over the edge of a bridge, contemplating the water below. That much is unambiguous; but where the path forks, where the result is unknown, is in the final moment. Does the bridge pull the wearer of the shoes back from the brink? Or does the water prevail? Remi Rebillard‘s latest shoot Fragmentary Girl takes on the very…

We’ve grown a little accustomed to seeing Abbey Lee Kershaw with grunge hair – so the styling of Numero’s latest cover is a welcome reminder of just how to rock a sleek, unfussy hairstyle in 2011.

Abbey Lee Kershaw‘s modelling door may be slowly creeping shut, but a music window is opening. Seemingly all by choice, too. If you miss seeing truckloads of Abbey in the pages of fashion magazines and in ad campaigns on the sides of buses, then perhaps you can get your fill by watching her play in boyfriend Matthew Hutchinson’s band Our Mountain. Abbey is scheduled perform…
