Katy Perry wearing a sparkling sequins Smurfette dress at the Smurfs Premier in New York. I bet Poppa Smurf would love to meet Katy in the dress.

British Designer Caroline Charles held a quintessentially English affair at AW11 London Fashion Week.

Subtle brocade detail on velvets; embroidery, tasteful sequins, cinched in waists and rich brocade fabrics were seen in sumptuous colour palette of regal burgundies and navy. A splash of leopard print kept the looks fresh and tied in perfectly with the collection, but the elegant cocktail dresses sharp tailoring harped back to Charles’ couture background.

Clever details were seen in the watch fobs, equestrian style gloves, silk cravats and a selection of top hats, hunting and bowling hats were set to a classical soundtrack that inspired thoughts of rambling British countryside.

Jennifer Lopez turned up at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in a long sleeved, metallic short Emilio Pucci dress. Perhaps we should underline the word short as many fashion critics deemed the dress length as over the top. Maybe Jen wanted to show off her great, toned looking pins. She wore silver, spiked Christian Laboutin shoes, a matching Swarovski crystal clutch bag and Cartier jewellery. She was completely embellished in silver, the sparkling, arrow-head shaped mirror discs probably weighed a tonne. Was it too much of one colour ? Tin foil overload or sparkling diamond ? I willl leave it to you to decide.

Kim Kardashian showed off her stunning Armenian-American curves in a gold Kaufman Franco dress at this year’s Grammys.  She turned up with her brother Rob and dazzled the crowds with her floor length gown. The dress was a halter neck open-back style, sparkly number which clearly oozed pure sexiness and pushed all the boundaries   especially the neckline boundary (plunging).  She wore nude Laboutin shoes and metallic eyeshadow; sporting a yellow diamond, reptile shaped cuff bracelet by Lorraine Schwartz on her slender wrist. Many fashionistas are in agreement that she was one of the best dressed felines to hit the red carpet this year. How are we going to keep up with this Kardashian ?
What do you think of her outfit ?
Feel free to leave your comments we’d love to know.

Swedish designer Fannie Schiavoni has turned the word accessory into a whole new meaning, with her unique take on chains, and how they’re worn is what keeps her in the fashion eye. This dress was displayed at London Fashion Week 2010. Its a statement within itself its bold, fierce and although it oozes sex appeal probably best suited for the more edgier person. For the mere fact that it reminds me of a re-vamped version of an old suit of armour, is what i think makes it so fashion forward, fresh and original. It instantly screams at the Lady Gaga’s or Rihanna’s of this world.

This year’s Paris Haute Couture fashion week for the Autumn/Winter collections took place at the start of July. Designers included Stephane Rolland, Alexis Mabille, Georges Chakra, Zuhair Murad, Christophe Josse, Fausto Sarli , Elie Saab (you know Elie is one of my favourites) and the usual, traditional names Giorgio Armani, Givenchy, Gaultier, Chanel, Dior and Valentino.


Georgio Armani

The Armani pieces dazzled the crowds this year. We saw rich, tawny, autumn colours with emphasis on the colour amber. This shimmery strapless number has a metallic but rustic feel to it. It is a great length and there is no need to accessorise …if you do decide to nothing other than a clutch bag will suffice. Imagine how the dress looks in motion. Clearly a show stopper for your nights out at premieres in Leicester Square.

Chanel
Chanel managed to get this beige- bijoux, jeweled dress flashed onto the catwalk. This knee-length outfit has the kind of detail that will get most tailors salivating it comes with full-on gems and feminine sparkle. Accessorise with matching bangles and finish off with a pair of fury, patent tipped cowboy boots for that autumn/winter edge.


Dior

“A new garden of Dior blooms!” this flamboyant, multi-layered, chiffon dress has an undercurrent of black and resonates with a bouquet of flowers. There is a splash of amber from a central starting point this will prove popular whichever Gala or fundraising you attend.

Vauxhall fashion scout put on a great fashion week with some of the finest potential designers to date. It all kicked off for me with the Prophetik showcase on Friday 19. I was ushered into Freemason’s hall, did a quick interview with the allwalks.org representatives about the new shift and mood in fashion for more authenticity in modelling.
En suite – I plonked myself on a front row seat just as the showcase was about to begin. Designer Jeff Garner dazzled us with Southern US inspired designs.
(1)This versatile long, black dress is absolutely luscious using recyled silk and peace silk lining. The gatherings and shape make good for a winter evening ball. Imagine the mood you’ll create when you turn up for an annual work ball ? Innocent, Southern and slightly Goth….

(2) This off the shoulder teal number with exaggerated jodhpurs and BOOTS was a pleasant surprise !! Boots were a recurrent theme throughout the showcase. The vintage leathers were shipped in from Judy’s tack shop in Franklin, Tennessee and some of the black ones were obtained from a local shop in Portobello Road. Vintage boots, jodhpurs and a nice cropped, military jacket gets direct influences from the American Civil war and can be sported for an upbeat, Autumn trend.

3)This black peace silk T-shirt dress with grey peace silk shash gives a real bounce to a sexy silhouette. The main aspect to this outfit is of course the vintage boots. Coarse, worn out leather pieces are a great contrast to a feminine but, simple dress.

(4) Wow…I love this ! This black peace silk boyfriend jacket with grey jersey dress and grey peace silk necktie is a unique dimension taking us on a mesmerizing journey through Nashville.

(4)This black herringbone jacket, lined with peace silk, a black organic jersey button shirt, blue hemp waistcoat and black hemp trousers is divinely masculine, military, country and layered.

(5) Save the best until last…this red, recycled velvet bustier brightened up the room. The romantic, beautiful flowing line and bold colour is a sumptuous garment bringing out the elegance of femininity.

To sum up…. Jeff Garner’s use of pigment, dyed fabrics meet Global organic textile standards, his collection is soft, layered, practical and innovative. His use of hemp softens the shapes further. The collection is a reflection of his roots and desire for sustainability and simplicity, a sign of our times.
