Kate Moss is something of a legend in the fashion world, now, albeit a living one; so one might imagine that a shoot she stars in would be focused on her. But this editorial for Vogue US is not: it’s all about the location. It was photographed at the Ritz Paris, and what Kate is doing instead is lending her legend to a homage of…

Knight. Dragon slayer. White witch. Human butterfly. Kristen McMenamy has just the right look – etherial but not too soft, timeless and ageless – to play them all. Kristen’s beauty is in the fact that she doesn’t have to look beautiful. In one of Tim Walker’s shots for this Love Magazine editorial she cries and smokes with equal conviction. In others her silvery-blonde elfin hair…

What would have happened if Lindsey Wixson had proved unavailable to model for this shoot? That’s what I find myself wondering, considering that with those button lips and that dimpled chin, it seems to have been conceptualised just for her. Like a Doll is the title. Like a doll she is. Not just by her nature, but by the styling: candy colours and sheer knee-high…

That much of 2012′s fashion will be influenced by a revival of 1920s fashion elements is no secret. What remains to be firmly understood is how we, as both consumers and influencers of fashion, will choose to wear and interpret the revival. The main conundrum here is that it’s only been a few short years since elements of ’20s fashion, namely flapper motifs, were in style…

The Victoria’s Secret show 2011 will be on the runway in a matter of hours. Anticipated for it’s energy, entertainment value and star power as much as for it’s lingerie, the question isn’t just what will be on the catwalk but who. So who can we expect to see bounding down the runway this year, wings fluttering, eyelashes batting, kisses blowing with targeted determination towards…

With ankle length gloves, full 60s dresses and floral ornamentation, the o’2nd Spring 2011 campaign is feminine and meek. Sigrid Agren, Julija Steponaviciute and Molly Smith model the clothing as photographed by Tim Walker in this perfectly pruned world.

Continuing along the stellar arc which began in 2010 Lindsey Wixson takes up poll position in Mulberry’s campaign for Spring 2011 alongside Nimue Smit (and babe?). The two girls find themselves in what is possibly the most sumptuous florist in Britain whilst wearing trenchs and bewigged with a redhead take on 2011′s comeback hair trend the fringe.

Pretty pastels and frayed denim… In this shoot by Akila Berjaoui, innocence and self-awareness meet. Imogen Wilson‘s styling is perfect, pulling together Australian and New Zealand labels with pieces by the likes of Ellery, Sara Phillips (including the bandeau pictured), Karen Walker and Twenty-Seven Names.

Velvet has many enemies. People who loathe its existence, wish it was never invented, and shudder at the thought of a post-90′s velvet revival. I can find that position mildly understandable; sure, there have been some velvet disasters. But for the most part I fall into the velvet-lovers camp because there are also many times when velvet can go so darn right that it’s hard…
