Fashion Night Out...

Wednesday night was Vogue's Fashion night out.  I had an absolutely amazing time, New Bond Street had the most Amazing atmosphere.  I went with two girls that I have interned with this summer and we visited Max Mara who have the most amazing collection of Camel Coats.  Prada where we got Pimms and fish and chips in Prada Newspaper.  Jimmy Choo where they had a "say fromage" photo booth which was lots of fun. Mulberry where we got our make up done amongst loads of other stores. Free drinks, amazing atmosphere and all while taking in all the lovely clothes, bags and accessories.  I saw the most gorgeous electric blue dress in Mulberry!

Here are a few photo's from the night....

As amazing as London FNO was judging by Twitter, New York FNO sounds unreal!  I'm finding it hard to decide whether I would have wanted to go to Barneys to see Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen or visit where the Gossip Girl cast were (including Ed Westwick!)

Fashion week soon.  I'm hoping to work or hopefully may get to be involved through where I'm interning at the moment!

Where did you visit at Fashion Night Out?

Maison Martin Margiela S/S 09

Exhibition Guide - Maison Martin Margiela - Somerset House

On Friday Amy (my lovely fellow intern/friend) and I went to the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition at Somerset House.  It was such a beautiful day and Somerset House looked amazing, I wanted to sit in the courtyard all day and play with the children carelessly in the fountains!

The exhibition was amazing and a great insight into the fashion house.  Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures.  I loved the 'white-ness' of the whole thing and his work is truly amazing. I was like a little child I wanted to touch everything but had to restrain myself.

I have to admit I wasn't completely clued up on who Martin Margiela was but now I'm really intrigued by his work and concepts. I really love his take on fashion, silhouette and minimalism.  I loved how he recreated clothing out of old pieces, like a pair of trousers made from old belts.  Some of his pieces were truly extraordinary. 

Not only was I fascinated by his work but who he was as a person, his dislike of celebrity and his anonymity of himself and in his work.  It really makes you focus on his clothes and some of them are exceptional pieces. 

I loved the grungey, minimalistic, deconstructive-ness of it all!

Here are a few images of his work that I could find on google.

Lust...

So a rumour was basically confirmed today that H&M ( a favourite store of mine) will be launching a new collaboration with Lanvin.  I am a massive fan of this! Judging by Twitter, everyone else is very excited about this collaboration. I must admit I have never actually purchased any of the previous H&M collaboration pieces, mainly because I was pretty clueless. 

I was looking at Lanvin's F/W 2010 collection on www.style.com and was having a look at pieces I would love to see variations/taken inspiration from. 

Here are a few of my faves:

Lots of tribal influences, feathers, fur, metallics and studs its an amazing collection.

I'm tres excited!!!

We were discussing at work today who we would like to see H&M collaborate with, to be honest, I would love any collaboration I'm sure. But I would love to see H&M collaborate with perhaps; Celine, Chloe, Erdem, Alexander Wang, Burberry, Marc Jacobs or Miu Miu.

Who would you like to see H&M collaborate with?

What do you think to the thought of a Lanvin/H&M collaboration?
