Hey,
This week has been a marathon of photoshoots, I'm currently 5 down 1 to go. They are all for my A-level photography work, where I am researching into the change in fashion magazine photography in vogue over the last 60 years. So I am doing different photoshoots for each era since 1950. I am taking inspiration from certain photographers work from each decade such as Norman Parkinson for my 1950's, Patrick Demarchelier for the 1980's and Mario Testino for 2000.
Hopefully once I've got this over with I can blog more regularly again and I will hopefully put up some samples of my work.

Winter trends
Hey,
So now the summer/spring 2011 fashion shows are over it's back to the dreary winter season. But luckily there are some delightful trends this season to perk up our rainy days.
The coats are still seeing a lot of military style which is especially good for me as I still have mine from last year. But the new trend is the aviator jacket or flying jacket which has fur on the distinct collar. I really like the look of these I haven't seen anyone wearing them and I can't seem to find a good style. I think it may be missed trend this winter.This photo to the right is a cropped aviator jacket from Topshop for £75!
These are my favourite boots they are so cute! They are on the New Look website as the boots banner but I can't find them too buy. There are a few that don't have photos available yet so hopefully this pair is one of them.

Alexander McQueen show
Hey,
Although Paris fashion week has ended I haven't finished looking at the stunning shows that took place. The one I found most interesting was the Alexander McQueen show. This is the fiorst catwalk ahow since the designers sudden death in February. Sarah Burton did the designing for Alexander McQueen. The show was fabulous with the setting being very plain with bare floorboards that helped represent the beginning of something new.
The clothing it's self was beautifully stunning although not as dark as McQueen it still was respectful and creative at the same time.

Chanel show
Hey,
I was checking on vogue for the latest shows from the Paris fashion week when I clicked on Chanel I was intrigued by the set design so even before viewing the pictures I decided to try to find a video of this show. I normally don't bother as the quality isn't all that great and I tend to get a little bored when I can't see the clothing probably but this time I found a really good video.
The set design as I had guessed was gorgeous it was set up with three grand gardens it was like a maze leading to a beautiful water fountain and the catwalk lead around the outside of these three "gardens". This set up was perfect for the collection as it featured some lovely flowing dresses. The only problem with the video was I didn't get to see the whole show I only got 2 minutes of it and in this time I saw none of the clothes featured on vogue's site I got concerned I was watching the wrong show. But from the photos there were a lot of short shorts mainly put with like suit jackets which to me looked a bit odd. There was again the black and white trend but with some floral patterns.

Jean Paul Gaultier show
Hey,
So unfortunately lately I've been a bit ill so I haven't been able to check out Milan fashion week or blog about it.
But now I've had a quick look at Paris fashion week and something that interested me was the Jean Paul Gaultier show it opened and closed with the large singer Beth Ditto. I recently watched the TV program fearne and.... Beth Ditto and in that she said that she got asked to perform in Topshop and she turned it down due to the fact they didn't stock her size. Since then she's had a clothing lien with Topshop for the larger sizes. So for her to be in Paris fashion week is quite a statement!
The actual collection had everything from denim to netting to leather. It featured alot of weird but wonderful clothing. Personally I don't think I'd wear much of the collection but as high fashion clothing it is gorgeous. Unlike the majority of the other shows this contained alot more colour of blues, reds and greens but white was still a prominent colour.
I'll continue to blog about the Paris and Milan fashion week in the next couple of days.
