Kate Moss for Mango Campaign
To be launched in A/W 2011. Kate Moss makes it look so effortless. It's amazing to watch. Can't wait!
Photographer Terry Richardson
Today's photoshoot..
Today I did a photoshoot based on the inspiration from Abbey Clancy's photos in Love Magazine (A/W 2010) in an earlier post I mentioned that I wanted to do a photoshoot like this.(Attitude.Black leather jacket.Red lipstick.Messy up do hair)
My model Courtney usually does Jack Wills inspired shoots with me, so this was very different. It was successful though, I knew it would be. I had no doubts, I knew Courtney would be able to get into this role and produce great results.
Now to edit the photos, they are going to be black and white!

September Issue of Harper's Bazaar
From the "Secrets of Seduction" article:
"...So sexiness is a matter of wearing the right underwear? "Perhaps, yes but in Italian,we use the word "sexy" in a different way to the English and Americans, says Gabbana."When you talk about sexy, you talk about sex. When we talk about sexy, we talk about attitude.We prefer the word "sensuality""
" When we dress women in masculine clothes, we are not seriously saying. "The Dolce woman should dress like a man" says Gabbana. "You don't need to lose feminity by dressing in a masculine way.If I see a woman wearing a suit,the first thing I think is, "Is she wearing lace underwear?"
I could give you some more quotes from this article but then you wouldn't need to read it at all. Go check it out yourself.
psst... page 150 :)

New Clothing Line...
Robert Pattinson has been inspired by Kellan Lutz to create his own fashion line. The Twilight star, who plays Pattinson's vampire brother in the film series, launched his debut clothing range in LA last week.
"Rob and I were talking about doing a clothing line together!," Lutz told E! Online. "[Pattinson] didn't know I was doing mine. He's like, 'I should do one' and I'm like, 'Oh'. And he found out I was doing one and he's like, 'Really?' It was really funny. He wants to do one too. What'd we call it, we called it Rags by Rob or something, because he's always so like, I don't know... hipster."
What do you think?

W Magazine - Kristen Stewart
I think because she usually doesn't wear much make up and is a casual dresser. It is a real transformation. Below are some insider photos. Stunning.She looks very vampire like.
Painting your toenails? Not sure what colour?
I was undecided what colour I should paint my toenails, they were bright barbie pink, could do that again but bit bored of that, was going to go for a darker glitter pink. Anyways.. decided on hot red! Matches my beach bag!
So, new trend.. match your nails with your beach bag!

Internship
Last Monday (1st August) I started an internship at New Look Press Office, London. Tomorrow is my last day! I have enjoyed this placement. I have gained good experience of working life and how the press office operates. I have made friends in which I hope to stay in contact with.
On this placement, I have styled/visual merchandised the showroom which includes shoes,bags,accessories and jewellery. I have tidied away clothes in the showroom wardrobes and out on display. Kept it tidy and looking good for buyers,events and whoever else who visits the showroom. I have gained PR knowledge.
I have looked through newspapers and magazines on a daily basis for new look coverage and relevant competitor coverage.
Overall, these two weeks have gone very fast,been very busy and it's been a great experience. I wish my intern friends all the best for the future too and you never know we may be working together one day!

10 year old French Vogue Model Tylane Lena-Rose Blondeau
Posing in with a sexy suggestive attitude. Very wrong for a child to be wearing this much make up and posing like this.Leopard print and low cut dress is very wrong too. 
Lying on a tiger skin.
Check out the video for more. What do you think? Do you think this is acceptable?

Little Liberty
Liberty is re-launching it's children's department in February 2012, due to customer demand. It ceased carrying kidswear six years ago and plans to stock fashion, accessories, books, furniture,toys and gifts in the new third- floor department. And a Liberty-print kidswear line is expected to follow later on in the year.
Kidswear is one of the main things they get asked about. It will be an electric mix that blurs the line between designer and contemporary.
Ed Burstell revelaed that the department will carry childrenswear by Isabel Marant and Acne,both making their childrenswear debut,as well as Stella McCartney, Lanvin, 3.1, Philip Lim and Little Marc.

Lara Stone face of Tom Ford Violet Blonde
Lara Stone is already the face of Tom Ford Beauty. She is now also fronting the ad campaign for Tom Ford's "Violet Blonde" fragrance. The ad has a healthy infusion of raw sex appeal and sensuality.
I love the bold colours used, Lara Stone fits the ad well I think.

Showcasing 350 photographs taken during a 10-month period, Richardson's unlimited access to the superstar's extraordinary life captures intimate and revealing behind-the-scenes moments from the singer's professional and personal life.
