The new arrivals

It's already time for pre-fall again. pre-fall is dropping as we speak and we are seeing the darker, richer tones of precious stones. the slim line pant is in. prints are in and minimalist styles are here to stay for yet another season.

celine pf11

celine pf11

we've seen a full swing to the 60s in celines strong pre-fall line which is a strong shout out to pf not being just a "filler" to them. deep burgundies and denim blues are contrasted with black slim line blazers and trademark cigarette cropped pant.

proenza schouler pf11

proenza has also used deeper tones to only contrast them with brights. they have a heavy use on their detailed prints and 3/4 hem that will make them

stand out from the rest.

a thumbs up to the killer boots

*BAMbi

Meet bambi northwood-blyth the next knock out. 20 years old and from melbourne. she is the brooke shields of right now with a heavy set brow. Last month she held the main spread in harpers australia in cotton tighty whities and tanks. stunning shots.

surprisingly petit and not particularly tall, bambi still knows how to work the lens. winning the girlfriend mag comp at 14 broke her into the industry that has seen her do int'l fashion shows around the world.

she is my new muse of the moment. i will be keeping a close eye on bambi and her brows.

yes, please.

I am after a collection of chic, left of centre heels.

add these to the list.

proenza schouler s/s11

it belongs by my side

it makes me think of walking the streets of nolita.. coffee and vogue in hand.

celine s/s11

all in

spring/ summer 2011 is all in store and even heading towards sale shortly. lets talk favourites. minimalist is making a come back with celine and calvin. tailored leather hasnt died yet and neither has neon apparently. this was brought to my attention by australian fashion week which was buzzing in sydney earlier this month.

to be blunt i wasnt particularly impressed by the designers creations or the attendees to their shows. its been a few years but when did fashion week become filled with bloggers and students? sadly, the sparkle is lost. it had some (even though some would debate me over it) and now its..uneventful. very flat, copies of old season trends that have finally made it to our shores from europe and the u.s.

dion held his own well with chic plastic tear fabrics and aqua and white tailored pieces. goot stayed with the tulip and stepped up to the plate however they were really the only ones up to standard. lover did givenchy. red lace and cream base. trungs designs resembled sheets hung out to dry.

so with those comments lets keep it to a list of favourites for international spring/summer..leather, minimalist, block colours and blocked shapes.

celine and calvin hit it on the head. they started the wave and others are following. the line is 60s and simple. keeping things feminine and chic. i think australian designers could take a leaf or two out of their book.
