Label LOVE: StyleStalker 'Come As You Are' LookBook



It's not my first post about these guys, and it won't be my last. StyleStalker are doing fantastic things for Australian fashion having been snapped up by some of the most influential UK retailers such as ASOS and Selfridges in the last couple of years. The label which launched in 2008 are among a few fantastic Aussie labels creating waves overseas. They always keep the collections fairly concise, enough pieces to get your head spinning with a mental wish-list but small enough to keep each piece interesting and completely unique from the last and leave you dying for more. Here are the images from the latest collection 'Come As You Are'.

Grunge but girly and a bit rock n' roll seems to be a recurring theme with this label, and that's exactly why I love them. I love florals, I love leather, I love mesh and lace, I love zips and studs, I love slouchy oversized dresses, tight pants and anything that hangs off my shoulder. And this is what StyleStalker does so well and why they are one of my favourite labels.

This collection was filled with leather, sequins, metallics and studds, mixed with chiffon dresses, oversized jersey tank tops and slouchy knitwear. And without doubt a LookBook that makes you want to be THAT GIRL. See more images here.

Label LOVE: MSGM

Stumbled upon this Italian Brand MSGM and decided to share some images from their Pre-Fall 2012 LookBook. The looks are just perfect, I love the masses of print, the bold colour palette and the mix of fabric.

Favourite Moments from London Fashion Week Autumn.Winter 2012

It seems like forever ago now in the fast-moving fashion world, but I'm still dwelling on London Fashion Week. I thought I'd write a post about some of my favourite moments from the catwalk. Unfortunately, I don't run in fashion circles so was not there to experience ANY of it first hand, but the internet is a wonderful thing and if you were on the ball you could have live streamed most of the shows.

1. Raining at Burberry


Christopher Bailey brings rain to the Burberry Prorsum show, very fitting at LondonFW

2. Disco Fever


Disco fever from the boys of Meadham Kirchhoff

3. Boys Done Good


Topman Design do their thing at LFW, it's not just the girls who can create some serious hype

4. Babes and Bikes


A nice little novelty at PPQ as models pushed beautiful white bicycles down the runway

5. General ❤  for Topshop Unique


Proving why the British high-street is the best in the world, no gimmicks, no wacky hair and make up, the clothes spoke for themselves...one of the best collections from the week

6. Statement Hair


A halo type hair do at Alexander McQueen, models strutted down the runway through 'fallen' leaves, a beautiful show

7. What's that? Oh it's a typewriter


Amazing, genius lady, Mary Katrantzou. Last season was something to seriously live up to and she came back with some really interesting prints and shapes this time around too. Equally brilliant and clever, yet nothing like we have seen before from her.
