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.

If you’ve ever looked at Anna Dello Russo‘s intense and somewhat flamboyant sense of style and wished you could replicate it without having access to every forthcoming designer collection and a wardrobe of 4,000 shoes, then your chance has just arrived. Dello Russo has created an “over the top” accessories collection for retail chain H&M.

It’s not often that we’ll share a cover from a non-fashion magazine but Empire’s latest issue has piqued our interest. That’s because there are just a few things we all love here at Fashionising.com and those things include both James Bond and Tom Ford, and with Skyfall just around the corner we’re sure there will be plenty more bondspiration to follow.

European cool with English sensibilities are the hallmarks of Tom Ford’s spring 2012 men’s collection. It’s collection whose look book and campaign imagery delivers what you’d expect: highlights of youth, sexuality and subtle decadence. But this is a Tom Ford collection that you can describe as directional, as the evolution of men’s suiting comes into play.

With the attention to detail – nay, attention to luxury – that Tom Ford puts into every outfit, every lipstick, every fragrance, you know he’s not going to get to a woman’s feet and be neglectful. Hence, spring 2012 brings these Cinderella-worthy heels (some even with clear perspex wedged heels) that wrap the feet in unrepentant luxuriousness and secure them there with a velvet bow.…

Unlike most collections, which saturate the media for public viewing directly after their runway shows take place, Tom Ford keeps his under wraps a little longer. For his fall 2012 collection we first got a teaser by way of a video (albeit not the most in-depth or well produced one). Now we’re privy to a look book of the collection, which is based on a…

Founded by Rei Kawakubo of Japanese label Commes des Garcons in 2004, Dover Street Market is more of a designer boutique slash art gallery than an actual market. It’s so-called because individual concessions, or ‘stalls,’ are spread over five floors, occasionally interspersed with art works you can buy. Cooler than Selfridges and edgier than Browns, but just as expensive, DSM is where rich arty types…

Scents can be the olfactory manifestation of a single breed of flower, or of a whole garden of botanicals. They can evoke a particular mood. Or they can be a place, bottled up and captured like the simultaneous memory of all the sights and sounds of a single day. That's what Tom Ford's Lavender Palm is. It's a summer's day in California, pressed into a bottle.
Putting on such a fragrance is the equivalent of an unusual form of teleportation. Spray. Close eyes. Breathe. You're there. It's the warmth of sun on your face, the elegance of silk on your skin, it's grass and leaves crushed underfoot; it's elegant, warm, and fresh.
