Let’s Do It All Over the World

These make me yearn for a grand escape - running from one iconic city to another. Clad in the best the designers have to offer of course. I love the sense of drama, anticipation and even stress. Not to mention the stunning locations.

I love a good nude/black mix. The soft femininity and innocence of blush tones is counterbalance by slick black pieces, and details like hardware, jewellery and lace really pop.

Enter The Dinner Dress

I love the luxe yet archaic/aged feel of this shot - torn wallpaper, broken paintings, intricate gold chairs. And Freja herself is the epitome of disheveled luxury - all the atypical imperfections like her messy mop of hair and her obvious tattoos make her even more alluring. The clothes (mostly from Lanvin, Balenciaga and Givenchy) have a intricate layered sense of wealth and dishevelment - crumpled lace, heavy jewels etc.

Fade To Blue

I always love a good denim editorial - especially when they riff on the classic denim look - white tees, leather, a blonde with a tan etc. This does an amazing job of dressing down (in the best possible way) some of the sickest pieces from the Spring collections - Balmain's jacket, Givenchy's leather and denim pants. Oh and I'm not gonna lie, I love the knee high socks with the two tone brogues.

Lily In Paris

Yeah I know I'm shallow, but I am always a total fiend for any editorial or campaign thats blatantly (and stunningly) Parisian. Toss in Lily, Louis Vuitton (especially the infamous bunny ears), Balenciaga and Givenchy and I'm all yours.

Down With Shame

I don't think I've seen Natasha Poly look this stunning since her editorial in the April 08 issue of French Vogue. The lighting is amazing - as is that Givenchy bow headband. Love the restrained palette, gorgeously tactile textures and the intriguing layers. Fab.

HUSSEIN CHALAYAN

Love the slick black looks that came out for Hussein Chalayan's Fall 09 Collection. Leather and blazers is always a foolproof combination. Particularly love the leather details on the middle jacket.

As well as the black, the grey looks were also a standout for me. Little mini dresses that were so sexy but also look quite comfy and wearable. Great details like a slouchy neck, fembot breastplates - and a sick oversized leather jacket.

YVES SAINT LAURENT

I die for this zipped up leather one piece that Caroline Trentini wore for YSL's collection. She was awol from all the other fashion shows/weeks because the girl had an exclusive for YSL - it was so worth it. I would wear this with/under/over everything.

GIVENCHY

Amazing sheer pieces at in the Givenchy show. Love the drapes and layers of the third dress. And our girl Karlie looks like an angel (with a Death Stare).
