Stella beats economic crisis

It has been revealed that last years profits rose by 78 percent for Stella McCartney and her clothing company. The chief consecutive officer and companies president both stated that this was due to "two strong ready to wear collections" and more stand-alone shops upcomming to us all. At least someone is overcomming the recession and luckily someone whom I love for all her designs and collections! Also on the 2nd November, Stella will launch a range for GapKids with a yummy seventy designs within it. Keep an eye out for her exact replica (but mini version) of one of her jumper dresses from her autumn/winter 2009 ready-to-wear runway collection, if only I was older and had a few odd seventy children to dress...

15 x 15 project

Marc Jacobs = love. Nars working with Marc Jacobs = double the looove. Jacob's is reinacting a Richard Avedon photograph of the sixtiess which is part of Nar's 15x15 project. This consists of different celebrity portraits that show a variety of amazing emotion and classic photographs whilst all using the Nars products. This is one book I need to get if I ever get the money. I couldn't remember much of Avedons work so I decided to google him, I forgot how good he would be for inspiration on my photography project! Above are a few of the photographs of Avedons that I love...

Chanel Haute Couture

Origami and Chanel are two subjects that have always fascinated me (I have actually mastered the art of making paper swans which may not seem alot to all the pro's out there but I'm proud of it), but this just tops the icing on the cake. In January 2009 (yes i do know this is old news but shut up and read) Karl Lagerfeld's monochrome designs took fourty+ people working night and day to create 6000 paper flowers for the shows head pieces. Not a inkling of jewellery was allowed but doesn't this prove that you can make something so incredibly beautiful out of nothing? To me, it doesn't get much better than this. I can honestly say to anyone and everyone that's reading this post... this is what inspires me to work within the fashion industry. We may be in a recession but Largerfeld hits the economic crisis back with the statements; “The whole crisis is like a big spring housecleaning -- both moral and physical,” also adding; “bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it ‘the new modesty’.” “We are entering a phase of reality fashion.” said Lagerfeld. “This is right. This is exactly what Chanel did; she wore the clothes she designed. We talk about the financial crisis, but it is also healthy. People who have been making 20% increase, year after year, and then are not making 20% any more, they are not poor. So don’t cry for them. We have got into bad habits and it is not a bad thing to have a new starting point.” Lagerfeld I salute you!

Chloe S/S 2010

Casual tailoring that looks cool enough to be worn at any time of day. Very refreshed look which I adore with the loose hair and sandals. Love love love the denim jeans, that is all that needs to be said!
