Gorman Winter 2011



I am loving the Autumn tones in the quirky Gorman winter 2011 collection
I especially love how chic the scarves are as head wraps.

Diane von Furstenberg





I just found this lovely homeware collection from Diane von Furstenberg via Oprah.
I love the sunny colours. Lovely bright colour palette to brighten up any home.

In the 1970s, Diane von Furstenberg was a plucky young European princess when she made history with a versatile, universally flattering wrap dress—created, as she puts it, for "a woman on the go, who is completely global, of any age, any nationality." This month the designer—long divorced from her prince, though still plucky—brings her signature unfussy sophistication to a new home line, with everything from leopard-patterned bed linens to sunny porcelain teapots.

"Surroundings are very important to me," says Von Furstenberg, a yoga-toned 64. "I travel constantly, but even in a hotel room, I'll drape a scarf over the lamp." She's tucked behind an imposing black Ruhlmann desk on the fifth floor of the teeming New York City studio where she lives and works amid hot pink walls and Warhol portraits of herself. For Von Furstenberg, the home "is a projection of who you are," as important as what you wear and the people you surround yourself with.

Von Furstenberg's own home is inspired by her life: "When I go places"—recent travels include Dubai, Istanbul, Vanuatu, and Tahiti—"I'll pick up a basket or a plate, things I love and that give me pleasure to look at." For her housewares line, she wanted to design "not a matching collection but a language," she says, full of pieces that combine effortlessly with a woman's own finds.

Like her elegant, asymmetrical porcelain dishes: Their shape (Von Furstenberg calls it the "power stone") recalls the striking corrugated glass dome she constructed atop her studio's building to let in light. Available in a range of patterns plundered from her fashion archives, the plates are both more formal and more interesting than the usual everyday set—and the only statement pieces a well-dressed table needs.

Sneak Peak - Rachel Zoe's Collection

A few of my favourite pieces from Rachel Zoe's Collection for WWD via Fashionista





'If you thought Rachel Zoe had toned it down what with her pregnancy and skipping out on Milan and Paris spring fashion weeks, think again.
Not one to be slowed down by pregnancy, the superstar stylist has been keeping plenty busy working on her first line, the Rachel Zoe Collection, and having it all filmed for the fourth season of her popular Bravo reality show.
Zoe, seven months pregnant, and her sizable entourage (Bravo crew included) stopped by WWD to style a shoot for the paper with a few looks from her forthcoming collection. The collection is pure Zoe–tailored (there’s plenty of suiting, including, according to WWD, a le smoking-esque tuxudo jumpsuit), dramatic, with a ’70s flare. Even though, Zoe says, ““I’d imagine everybody is expecting something from me that’s kind of a Seventies, uberboho-glam kind of thing, and, you know, very accessorized. And it’s not.”
Unlike Zoe’s small affordable collection for QVC, the Rachel Zoe Collection will be a contemporary line which includes outerwear (with capes galore, obviously), shoes (four inch high stilettos with massive platforms, obviously) and handbags (Zoe literally screamed when she saw the first sample). Prices will range from $250 for a day dress up to $700 for a full tuxedo look. Zoe’s manufacturing firm Li & Fung say they haven’t secured any retailers yet, but Zoe says she envisions the collection on the racks next to Alexander Wang and DVF and Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Of course, the Zoe tornado couldn’t tear through WWD without leaving some gossip detritus behind. Zoe apparently let slip numerous times that she’s having a boy (I hope he likes vintage!), and that while she’s skipping the fall shows this coming February since docs have ordered her to “slow down,” she will still be there by Anne Hathaway’s side at the Oscars, eight months pregnant and in four inch heels to oversee Hathaway’s outfit changes. And apparently we’re to be on the lookout for a “leggy brunette” named Mandana who has replaced Brad.

Prada's New Line




Taking a look at the Harpers Bazaar site I cam across the latest collection from PRADA. This is one of the latest 
capsule collection entitled Prada Made In..... which showcases artisan projects from around the world.
I love the quote Prada told the International Herald Tribune....' You have to embrace the world if you want to live in it now.'


I must say this collection took me by surprise with the earthy tones. To me it showcases SUMMER. 

I would love to know your thoughts on the collection........
