It was Marie Antoinette gone punk when Chanel's Cruise 2012/2013 collection sailed down the runway at the Palace of Versailles. But it wasn't just the clothes that were bold and candy-coloured: angular bobs were supported by a strong make-up look dominated by the colour pink. After the break: an in-depth look at recreating (and adapting) this look for yourself.

As the camera pans over 1920s New York in the opening of the newly released Great Gatsby trailer, you might expect a soundtrack of brassy, hip-shimmying jazz. But this is Baz Luhrmann, the man who had Shakespeare’s brave Mercutio dressed in drag and belting out Young Hearts Run Free. The man who gave Paris circa 1900 a soudtrack of Smells Like Teen Spirit and Like…

One wouldn’t argue the association of summer with colours, be it in the garden or on clothing racks. But if you’re tilting away from the predictable colour palette of the spring 2012 season, then black and white should be your protocol. Londoners and Melbournians are often criticised for purposely injecting this colour palette on the streets of these cities, but you can’t blame them, a…

It’s hard to imagine this odd clash of eras – this mix of androgyny and frou frou French Revolution femininity – working on anyone other than Cara Delevingne. The Chanel pre-spring 2013 collection borders comical on more than one occasion, if you were to view it as purely ready to wear fashion, but somehow the fantasy of it all – and its unusual pastel rainbow…

A mermaid inspired shoot is almost always going to be a mystical one filled with tangled strands of wet hair, shimmering embellishments and undulating sweeps of liquid-like fabric. But in this sea-side shoot for L’Offiel Paris it’s the accessories that make the biggest and best ocean inspired statement, from Chanel’s shell handbags to gold headpieces and ear cuffs.

Sometimes the naked body is the ideal accessory in and of itself. Teneshia Carr started out with that, the human form, as her base for this shoot; an accessory accessorised. Callum Vincent’s styling plays with statement pieces that need nothing else to make them stand out. A snaking Arianna Cerrito necklace, a LOVEBULLETS headpiece, a hand covered in intense Culletta rings… It doesn’t matter that…

I love a grainy, black and white image. There’s something about the low quality that adds a sense of reality for me. Perhaps because you can see less you’re forced to feel more. What’s actually happening in the photo is never quite revealed and thus never dictated, therefore you’re left to imagine it for yourself. And imagine what happened behind the scenes on Natasha Poly’s…

There are fashion films as cinematic endeavour and then there are those whose purpose it is the breathe life into clothing as opposed to constructing a narrative. For Swedish fashion house Jan Ahlgren, London based photographer John Wright has crafted the latter.

Your lover is cheating on you. And it’s not just a suspicion, not just jealousy talking. Through the crack in a door way the affair plays out before your eyes. You can see her legs wrapped around him. You can see their passion. The question is what do you do next?

It’s a dress of simple proportions; neither suggestively short nor bold in its colours. And yet there’s Lily Donaldson making it look raringly hot.
