Hey,
One of the shows in the London Fashion Week that is a must see is the Topshop unique. It's interesting that now adays high street brands are becoming up market enough to be shown in London Fashion Week along with prestigious designer brands. The topshop show had a 70s theme to it with big crimped hair and alot of tie-dye and patterns. Black and white again featured but instead of being alot of cute short dresses it was either long flowy dresses, straight short dresses or flared trousers. Although the clothing was ready to wear I think I would wear one of these items they looked abit out there for my liking of a highstreet brand.
Check out all the photos here and watch out for the random hot pink sexy swimsuit: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/show.aspx/catwalk-report/id,9345#/imageno/1

London Fashion Week
Hey,
So I've had a look at Spring/Summer 2011 ready to wear London fashion week. I noticed a lot of white and black block colours, or pale nude colours with patterns. There seems to mainly be very short dresses, or jumpsuits.
These are my favourite that I picked from a few. The first one is from Ana Sekularac it's a super cute white strapless mini dress. This second one is from Paul Costelloe and this designer featured a lot of this short flowing skirt.

Oscar de la Renta spring resort 2010
Hey,
So New York fashion week has started and although I have only had a quick look it looks gorgeous. From my brief search through the photos the collection that caught my eye was Oscar de la Renta Resort. With beautiful summer dresses and amazing evening dresses. I especially liked the fact that the collection featured straw boater to make it more resort suitable. My favourite items from the collection is the smart denim jacket that's paired with a beautiful plaid summer dress and a beautiful black and red ball gown.

Valentino and Gap
Hey,
I have recently blogged about the collaboration between Lavin and H&M. And I am very excited about a new collaboration that has been announced. Valentino has agreed to do a collection for Gap. It will be designed by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiui and Pier Paolo Piccioli and it's to mark the opening of Gap's new Milan flagships store. The items will then be available at the London flagship store and the Paris flagship store. It is planned to be in stores the end of November. The creative directors were quoted on the new collaboration saying "Valentino and Gap synthesise the current trend of combining luxury with basics."

Lanvin for H&M
Hey,
H&M did a collaboration with designer Jimmy Choo not too long ago. The small collection was featured in a few selected stores. And now they have confirmed a collaboration with Lanvin. There will be a women's and men's collection designed by Alber Elbaz and Lucas Ossendrijver. It's going to be released in H&M on the 23rd of November in 200 stores across the world. Alber said about the collaboration "what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public." I think this will be a good but possibly expensive collection I'm excited to see more highstreet and designer collaborations.

General Update
Hey,
So today I just thought I'd do a general up date and tell you some of the interesting things I've found in the fashion news lately.
Keira Knightly is currently shooting for a new Chanel advert in Paris, France and it has seen her in a snug beige bodysuit, sat atop a vintage beige motorcycle.
Also Cheryl Cole has made her second appearance on the cover of British Vogue. She's been photographed by one of my favourite photographers Patrick Demarchelier. It's very soft and uses amazing colours. Cheryl looks gorgeous and she looks very babydoll and girl next door pictured with flowers on the front cover.
Also in the recent news a pregnant Lily Allen opened her pop-up shop in Selfridges this week. She wore a lovely floral dress and said she was very excited about this new project.

High street fashion week
Hey,
So London fashion week is coming up! But I was reading in Glamour magazine that if you can't go to London fashion week you could go to London High Street Fashion Week. It's situated on London's Oxford street and takes place from the 6th to 10th of September. Stores such as River Island, Selfridge's, Warehouse and French Connection are all taking part and there is promised to be a style stunt on the 6th; I'm not entirely sure what this is but it briefly mentions last years, which was a fashion show on the tube.
Wednesday looks like the best day it's "Vogue fashion's night out" and 17 stores are taking part on this day and will be offering discounts and promotions.
Check that out here along with the other days: http://highstreetfashionweek.com/wednesday.aspx
The only problem I have found is that I can't seem to find any information on whether you need a ticket. But it sounds like an exciting and fun fashion event.
