An other amazing Editorial from Steven Klein, with model star: Daisy Lowe and Georgia Frost, beautifully styled by Camilla Nickerson, published in W Magazine March 07

Givenchy fashion house and their head designer Ricardo Tisci trade black and white photography, white backgrounds and Inez and Vinoodh for the other most wanted duo on the scene, Mert and Marcus, the change comes after 9 seasons with Inez and Vinoodh behind Givenchy campaigns. Slightly extended model cast keeps Mariacarla Boscono and Simon Nessmann, with a surprise reinforcement by Adriana Lima (who on earth would say that the model in white dress is actually Adriana Lima?) The adverts will hit the magazines pages beginning July 2009. “It’s a new step,” Tisci said. “I wanted to give this feeling of going from a studio to reality. It’s important to give reality to women.”

We know Bebaroque’s fringed tights have been wildly popular across the fashion blogosphere. We know that. But if we were forced to wear these thigh-high versions which are flesh-coloured, to help create the impression that the “hair” is growing directly out of your legs, we think we’d have a hard time not reaching for the razor. You?

This is indeed great news for all the people who love fashionable designer stuff. You people have the opportunity to take home elite designer apparels as well as accessories at a grand auction. The very well known Christie’s house of auction is going to hold a multi-owner vintage couture sale. This sale would be the first of its kinds. The auction will take place in New York on the 2nd of July. So, try to be free of your appointments on that day to grab the golden prospect. The auction will be a place to witnees the products by the big shots of the fashion world such as Gianni Versace, Balenciaga , Christian Lacroix, Thierry Mugler, and Mainbocher.

What is special about the auction is that it would pay a tribute to the extremely talented and renowned French couturier Yves Saint Laurent who recently passed away. the event would include the display and auction of apparels and jewelry designed by Yves Saint Laurent in every decade of his life. Such a display will show the progress of the dexterous fashion designer.

Laura Leyfer, the couture specialist at Christie’s, remarks that these products are in good condition and are affordable in their prices. Just look at the YSL designed Christian Dior dress from Fall/Winter in 1958. the approximate price of this piece is $1,000-1,500 only while this cut-out floral necklace designed by Saint Laurent for Spring/Summer 1990 would be available roughly for $1,000-1,500.

Drawing inspiration from hiking in the wilderness—the Routeburn, to be precise—Kate Sylvester’s summer 2010 collection was en route to adventure and discovery.
While the clothing was all gorgeous and very wearable, the accessories were what we were all crowing about. Explorer backpacks glowed vibrantly in primary coloured silks, and Doc Marten boots were customized with car paint in matte blue, red, green and yellow, and glossy grey. Fimo toy necklaces displayed the trophies of prehistoric excursions in the form of dinosaur teeth and mini bones. The most “statement” accessories, however, were Sylvester’s many different takes on the tramping gaiter. The gaiters were long, short, in modern Macpac style, and in raw linen army chap form. Also in raw linen were full brim explorer hats, perfect for ??ghting off those summer rays. As for the menswear, expect your boyfriends to all be sporting dinosaur motifs this summer.—Bronwyn Williams

Megan Fox has surprised us all when admitted that she doesn’t understand fashion and doesn’t care about looking good.

The gorgeous star of Transformers is always in the first lines of best dressed polls and is often called as one of the most beautiful women in the world, so this admission is something that seems far from being the truth.

Megan told The Sun:

I don’t follow fashion. I’m not that girl. I need people to style me because I’m pretty clueless about it and I don’t care.

I wear pretty much the same outfit every day: jeans, flip-flops and a super soft T-shirt and glasses.”

For the past decade, Berlin has cultivated a reputation as one of Europe’s last bastions of bohemia, an affordable playground for artists, students and 24-hour party people looking to extend their final gasp of youthful fun. The mixture of inexpensive

lodging and studio space, a welcoming ex-pat scene and an enthusiastic

audience for all kinds of creative expression have made it irresistible to a generation of Europeans and Americans that works within the arts—or are just unprepared to make a full-on

transition into adulthood.

Visual artists, in particular, have helped to solidify the city’s

reputation as Europe’s creative epicenter—though commercial consumption of artwork is stronger in Germany’s more prosperous

cities, such as Frankfurt and Munich, Berlin’s strict rent controls, small year-round population and laidback vibe make it particularly appealing to artists in search of a production base.

Andro Wekua, for instance, set up his studio in Berlin two years ago because “Berlin gives you space to work, in every

sense of the word, space that other big cities do not offer. But you have to come here with your own energy, because Berlin doesn’t give it to you.” Wekua’s characterization is apt—the city is a blank canvas that creatives can use to their own advantage, but only if they’re

self-motivated. The same laidback atmosphere that is initially attractive can prove paralyzing if artists aren’t intent on making their own progress.

Writers are drawn to the city’s liberating energy as well. Ana Finel Honigman, an Oxford doctoral canidate and regular contributor to Art in America, Style.com and V, has lived in Berlin since last Spring. Honigman observes that “Berlin isn’t

glamorous, but it provides a delightful style of living, where it’s possible to survive on a freelancer’s income. There are relaxed, charming, cheap cafés to work from; it’s green and incredibly easy to navigate by bicycle; and there is enough happening here that I can mostly exist covering Berlin cultural events for international publications.” The city’s loosely structured social scene lends itself to introspective writers who need to regularly go into hibernation, but who also need to be able to easily plug into a social network.

When it comes to fashion, Berlin’s aesthetic is grounded in a tradition of influential street style—brands, such C.Neeon, have successfully exported this aesthetic, and tastemakers like Hedi Slimane have made the city an essential source of inspiration. But the challenging economic climate poses a problem for brands looking to build a more adult-oriented, sophisticated image. A selection of progressive labels, such as Mongrels in Common and Marcel Ostertag, have put down roots here, while IMG operates the well-organized bi-annual Berlin Fashion Week, which provides an international platform for regional talents. But for the same reason that rents are so low and the cost of living is so reasonable, there isn’t a huge market for high-end luxury goods—more prosperous cities like Munich, Frankfurt and Hamburg have hungrier appetites when it comes to bourgeois tastes. Still, as Fern Mallis, Senior VP Fashion IMG, observes, “Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin has been steadily gaining steam and earning its place on the world’s fashion week calendars. [Berlin] is on the leading edge of much of the art, culture and architecture in Germany…[and] fashion has an important place in this.”

Berlin has much to offer as a short-term lifestyle solution, but making it work in the long-term is a trickier proposition. The city’s massive unemployment rate, by some estimates topping 20%, makes it difficult to procure a job (and a visa) unless you offer a specialized skill set that can’t be found in the German population at large. For the self-employed, or those who work on a freelance basis, it remains a viable option for a protracted visit, provided one arrives with a strong sense of perseverance. For everyone else, it’s unlikely that there exists a more ideal urban destination for an escapist jaunt. The media, financial and manufacturing worlds might all be facing bankruptcy, but no matter how dire the forecasts get, we’ll always have Berlin.
