Valentine + Erdem


Valentine Fillol Cordier is undoubtedly one of my style icons, the model turned stylist, mixes granny chic with a grunge aesthetic and always manages to look flawless. Her latest styling venture is for designer of the moment Erdem's exclusive collection for Matches, showcases his divine florals alongside a French soundtrack.
As Valentine plays around in a full length gown, her divine blunt bob (hair cut inspiration!) and certain je ne sais quoi show his designs off in a way no political wife could manage.

LANVIN FOR H&M.

tfs

The first image from H&M's Lanvin collection emerged today featuring the gorgeous Natasha Poly, a very Alber one shoulder black dress and some floral embellished pearls. Now I'm just hoping for a glimpse of Alber's drawings and some jewel tones and this collection will be PERFECT. Currently stocking up on tents and sleeping bags to camp out for this...

FLAWLESS.

Now this is the way to wear leopard print, sheer, classy, maxi and with minimal accessories.
I also love the granddad jumper.

Pat Butcher, take note.

Carven Spring/Summer 2011.





style.com

It is hard to believe that it is only three seasons since Guilliaume Henry relaunched Carven after its couture heyday in the middle of the twentieth century. Henry has since become known for creating classic, beautifully tailored items for a reasonable price. After creating the perfect camel coat for Autumn/Winter 2010, for Spring Henry created silk nude suits, chic blazers, evening gowns, digitally printed dresses and a shocking lilac suit. What is so attractive about the Carven label is the versatility of each piece, these items could be worn in a variety of ways and on a day to day basis, although the final look of a striking black evening dress would not look out of place on the red carpet. Each look was accessorised with a pair of plain court shoes with a bow at the back which resembled bunny ears, adding a twist to each look. Henry showed his abilities as a couturier, by creating a few extrovert pieces alongside the more versatile. Describing his third collection as 'Bourgeois, but with a nasty side', Guilliaume Henry created a gorgeous, understated collection showing promise for seasons to come.

Christopher Kane Spring Summer 2011




vogue.co.uk

I fell in love with Christopher Kane after seeing the images of his Central St Martins MA Collection in 2006 containing neon bright dresses belted with car seat belts. The Scottish designer brought back neon brights this season, four years after his debut collection. For Spring Summer 2011, Christopher Kane certainly channelled the late nineties, producing a collection of midi length dresses teamed with believe it or not platform flip flops similar to those spotted in Dawsons Creek. I love the peacock and polka dot prints on these dresses, the midi length of everything and the neon laser cut pieces. The mixture of lace, florals, leather, suits and diamond knit cardigans in neon brights would not be seen anywhere else other than at Christopher Kane and oddly it worked.

Also token yay for Jessica Stams appearance at Kane and later Giles!

Margaret Howell Spring Summer 2011





style.com

Margaret Howell created a collection which would not look out of place on a French schoolgirl who grew up and moved to London. Sticking to her usual palette of nude, blue and white Howell made a wearable collection that is sure to send London hipsters wild. Personal favourites include the toggled cropped duffle, tan penny loafers, nude silk blouses and the beach stripe dresses which remind me simultaneously of deckchairs and my Grandpa's old pyjamas. What I most admire about Howell is her ability to make clothes for the English, she has created coats for the Summer as yes, it rains here ALL THE TIME. The collection inspired by the forties is ageless and feels ideal for the cool Spring days ahead of us.
