TOPSHOP UNIQUE:LFW
Not a favourite collection but definitely my favourite for beauty-the faces and hair of the models,every model looked extremely perfect and out there!
Here is what I thought was a really interesting article from thetimesonline on LFW:
Front rows speak louder than words. It’s all very well having a bunch of edgy 15-year-olds to model your collection but, if your audience is composed of Ivana Trumps, no one is going to believe it’s cool.
And so to Topshop’s show for its Unique line, on the first day of London Fashion Week. The front row consisted of Pixie Geldof (who has Paula Yates’s blonde crop), Alexa Chung (TV presenter; holey tights), Kelly Osborne (Sharon and Ozzy’s collaboration; sporting Ironic heart-shaped sunglasses) and any number of girls with a — by now de rigueur — brutal 1960s fringe.
It is such a diametrically different approach to the front-row attire usually required to attend New York fashion shows (full cocktail wear) which last week were graced by the usual mêlée of the preternaturally youthful (Demi Moore and Madonna) and the preternaturally groomed (Victoria Beckham). Tad Safran — who created a furore in this newspaper when he suggested that, compared with impeccably glossy Manhattanites, British women looked more like a fungal infection than a female — would have had a field day. But here creativity is expected to look grungy: it always has and always will.
The grunginess is increasingly an affectation, of course, because Topshop is a commercial enterprise. Unique is just one of its ranges and sits at the top end of its output, with prices ranging from £30 to £150, although that’s cheap compared with other collections at London Fashion Week — and rather chic, to judge from this showing.Whereas the Unique summer collection is all about cough-and-they’ll-blow-away parachute silk vest dresses and trousers, the winter collection boasted sturdy, felted wools, sliced into rather good-looking brown or black boy-trousers and curvy jackets, which featured some sophisticated curved seams that hugged the body’s contours. It was impressive for the price, assuming that the merchandise looks this good when it hits the stores. Drainpipes remain a constant, but this time in leather and worn very long, over same-coloured platform shoes so that the whole thing looked like a rather depraved all-in-one.
This was the only deviant note. For a collection aimed at the younger end of the market it was surprisingly demure: long smock dresses, oversized sheepskins and calf-length dirndl skirts, which I defy anyone to sex up. Over at Biba there was more fungus to be observed — namely in the shape of those tiny mushroom- shaped skirts that sprout beneath drop-waisted tops with curved shoulders. It’s all very modish and arresting but also a little familiar, as these silhouettes debuted last season at Balenciaga — and they didn’t look any more wearable then.
Still, as a show, it was slick and fairly accomplished. It was also beautifully styled, as one would expect of Hector Castro, who took over after Bella Freud’s stint with the label. What any of it has to do with the original Biba, known for its printed dresses and jaunty trouser suits, is anyone’s guess. But it wouldn’t be London Fashion Week without unanswerable questions.
TOPSHOP UNIQUE.

daria zhemkova
I cannot describe why I love her so much as a model...she really does take my breath away...
^ cheekbones and jawline,*my jaw drops*,what a beauty.
all images:tfs
also:does anyone know how i can publish my pictures so they are next to each other,instead of being below each picture? thanks
i really love this coat shown below,from urban outfitters.
it is £95.00,but i think its worth the money as urban outfitters clothes are of high quality,however i am sure i can find one like this somewhere in a charity shop.
yesterday,i sorted out my wardrobe and i felt so much better after doing so,i must admit,i got rid of a lot of clothing,i am going to sell some of the clothes on ebay,so if you are interested,keep your eyes peeled.many of them are from topshop and zara.i am trying very hard now to not go in topshop,as i feel it is the most over priced shop in the world.i think some of the coats,shoes and bags are lovely,but i feel the items are becoming too common,i hate walking down the street and seeing someone else wearing the same clothing as you.
also another whine,i am so fed up of lace TIGHTS.yes,i do own a pair,but they are everywhere.
however...
irina lazareanu,i love her,backstage @ alexia mabille.
i also love this photo...its backstage @ marc jacobs s/s 08,but its so natural,i feel it totally represents backstage at a fashion show.if only i were there too...
excuse the current blog layout,i am sorting another.

Book Club: I Love Your Style by Amanda Brooks
One of my fondest memories of 2005 was the moment that I walked into Amanda Brooks' closet for the very first time. The shoes, the furs, the vintage Lanvin and YSL, the Pucci blouse with cats on it. It was a lot to take in. Amanda is a writer; a fashion consultant, and a longtime client/mentor of yours truly. She is also the author of a fabulous new book called I Love Your Style which was released on Wednesday and featured in the September issue of Vogue. If you haven't guessed from the title, the book is about personal style. It's kind of like an updated version of two of my previous book club picks: Cheap Chic and Harriet Love's Guide to Vintage Chic. It is most definitely NOT like That Extra Half an Inch by Victoria Beckham. Not at all.
Because you read Cat Party, I'm guessing that you already have killer personal style (good for you!). And while you may not require wardrobe advice, you definitely need to look at hundreds of inspiring photos of chic ladies like Charlotte Rampling, Chloe Sevigny, and Amanda herself. I was responsible for the bulk of the photo research so I am extra, EXTRA excited about the publication of this book. And I totally appreciate the love from Fashionista. Thanks Fashionista!
I've posted a few scans from ILYS below but you can get a much more comprehensive preview here. I also couldn't resist posting a few of my favorite street fashion shots of Amanda from The Sartorialist and Jak + Jill, respectively. Oh, and did I mention that the the book is a total bargain at $20? Or $13.59 at Amazon? That's like the cost of a Chipotle burrito and an US Weekly, which is probably the second best thing that you can buy for $13.59. But buy Amanda's book instead!

i am feeling all smiley thanks to my friend jade,so thankyou jade.
recently,or should i say since being back at school,i have not been doing all that much,my weekends have been wasted,which i am not going to do again.most days,i have been listening to humbug by arctic monkeys,this album has cheered me up every day after school,i come home all sad and bored and then when the opening to 'my propellor' starts i feel all happy and cheery again,like i do in the early morning.
somehow.
i actually want it to drop cold now,its already cold obviously as we live in england,but i mean,cold,cold,i want to have to wrap up warm,with thick scarves and a hat.
above:my new favourite shop: all saints,showing the shop and a set of the beautiful clothing(not made by me),the shoes and knitwear are just amazing.
recently i brought some kurt geiger boots,i love love love love love love love love love love them. the ones below are exactly the same colour,but they are not the same style,i shall post photographs soon.
i promise that after this post,personal pictures and more interesting posts are coming.
how are you all?
peace...
