We have to admit that, despite her general gorgeousness, Jac is not typically the go-to girl for smoking hot beach shoots. Maybe that’s what makes this one stand out all the more.

Saturated colors of summer vibes, unforgettable memories captured on film, the joyfulness of bright days – this is how we could describe the relaxed candidness of the Dior Cruise 2012 lookbook.

It had pleats and metallics and pretty flowing dresses – but if there was one thing that stayed in mind after you walked out of her New York fashion week show it was the folkish, woodland prints.

It’s rare for a magazine cover to catch my eye to the point where I feel the need to share it. And then along came this one, and whatever train of thought I may have had about other more frivolous things got completely derailed in a heartbeat. If Polish Fashion were aiming for this cover to reach out and grab your attention with all the…

For some time to come it’s going to all be about Tom Ford. The industry, from the publishing houses to other fashion houses, are all going to be talking about what he’s doing next a large part of which is the debut of the forthcoming Tom Ford women’s line.

With the resurgence of flared jeans comes a bevvy of denim brands looking to put forward their interpretations, and ensure they have something to fill the space.
