Yesterday in London, a friend and I took little detour from are normal shopping trip... It was all in aid of the most fabulous sample sale "Alexander McQueen, In The Westminster Rooms. It was set in a small darkish room overloaded with the most fabulous pieces of pure heavenly "McQueen" garments.
There were rails upon rails of beautifully crafted evening wear, the so softest silk scarfs, Fabulously embroidery and embellished garments, creative leather accessories and the must have, staple shoes. It was truly like a "McQueen Heaven"of innovative designs, with each garment showing a explosion of "McQueen"with zip and safety pins, laser cutting and surface detail. As a designer myself, each garment gave me inspiration and show me new techniques. But as for the shopping aspect of this trip it was prefect, I found a few favourite pieces, Velvet skull slipper pumps, Cruella de Vil fur coat, Tartan High-heeled ankle boots and padded boomer jacket with fur hood. It was the prefect trip to say good bye to London and hello to Liverpool for winter holidays! Thank you McQueen, Here are some images from the sample sale.

The Clash
Ive came across another seasonal trend that I love it's all about Luxurious Layering and "The Clash"of prints. This seems to be a trend that you can really have fun with and go wild.... Making it up as you go along creating something knew each time by adding something, while also being practical for the cold winter days ahead of us.
With this inspiration coming form such designers as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Prada in their collection for the season of A/W 12-13 it is time to start showcasing this trend. I found some images photographed by the photograph Robbie Fimmano showing this trend......

Monochrome Palette
Don't say it ain't so"Monochrome" is the new sort after colour palette trend! Well I have just died and when to heaven. If anything this year could make my life that little extra bit special it would be this...... I really don't know what excites me about these to main colours "Noir & White" but I just can't help being drawn to them and constantly dressing myself in them. I think is because "Noir & White" Is every where you look, its the first of everything even down to my beloved "Noir & White" movies the "First". It makes such a classic colour palette!
The interview Magazine hit its this right on the money when it decries this trend as "The essence of le smoking infiltrates the everyday as skinny jeans combine with the simple chic of tuxedo dressing in a monochrome palette, transforming easy sophistication into something more essential"

Playing on the theme, of these are the faces within fashion, why not make them fashion! I just j'adore this t-shirt designs and I must get my hands on one any mean's possible but the only problem is which one? They have Karl Largerfeld, Dolce & Gabbana, Kate Moss, Carine Roitfeld, Miuccia Prada, Suzy Menkes, Mrs B, Donatella Versace and Grace Coddington. such a hard decision! These t-shirts were designed by Michael Roberts for one t-shirt and are on sale at the website brownsfashion.com but I know your gonna have the same problem as me "Which one"

Minnie Mouse Hits Paris
Ive known about this exciting news for just over a week but it has took me awhile to find the film! I don't know how possibly Walt Disney could get any better in my eyes, but Oh yes this week they have released a short film with the US Barney's store cool "Electric Holiday". This movie is all about "Minnie Mouse" as she dreams her way to Paris Fashion Week. It is a fantastic Little treat for fashion lovers because on "Minnie Mouses" travels she comes across a selection of the industry's most famous faces- including Naomi Campbell, Alber Elbaz, Lady Gaga, French Vogue editor Emmanuelle Alt, Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mario Sorrenti to name a few. But what I really love and think made this extra special was how the famous "Disney" characters (Minnie and Mickey mouse, Ect) transform in the movie to this runway glamazon's, with long legs and model type figures!
I know my favourite Disney movie of the year "Electric Holiday" and if you love fashion and disney as much as I do am sure it will be yours to. The short film started showing in the US Barney's on the 14th of November 2012 (Wish I could of when to see it). The film was broadcasted in store while you got to shop, how amazing what more could you ask for! But don't worry for thought of you who haven't seen it here it is, Enjoy!
