Lanvin pour H&M

posted on September 3rd, 2010 · by Laila Lu · Add comments?

Leave it to H&M the master teaser to keep all we shoppers excited season after season. Lanvin? Who would have guessed. This is making us cultivate hopes that in future, even Jil Sander or Dries van Noten is possible (keep fingers cross).
Alber once mentioned that he will not do a second line (because “no one wants to be the stepsister”) and the most recent collaboration linked to Lanvin is Acne, but he seems to have a change of mind about fast fashion, that it’s “H&M going luxury” instead of “Lanvin going Public”.

If you are worried about not getting a piece of Lanvin x H&M when it debuts worldwide on 23 November, note that there might be a possibility the store is launching its first e-commerce site in September.

September 2010 magazine covers

Vogue Italia

The Miranda Kerr high fashion cross-over invasion continues, this time a solo cover for the much coveted Vogue Italia September issue by Steven Meisel. Catching up on the 3D trend, Miranda and her puppy Frankie can be seen in three dimension format. (Remember the Dazed & Confused issue a year ago with Julia Hafstrom also in 3D? ).

Vogue Paris

Marion Cotillard by Mert & Marcus. And we wondered why Marion took such a long time to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris, seems like Carine has been saving her up for the most important issue of the year.

Vogue US

Vogue UK

Nothing screams BRITISH VOGUE more than Kate Moss in a Burberry coat. Only Nick Knight is missing, this is shot by Patrick Demarchelier.
Editorial must-see — Jamie Bochert photographed by Hedi Slimane, what a perfect rock and roll pair up.

January Jones at The Emmys ‘10

posted on August 30th, 2010 · by Laila Lu · comments (4)

Donatella should give January Jones a Versace campaign already, faithfully wearing one Versace stunner after another (she wore Versace Atelier to last year’s Emmys too), the Mad Men actress totally stole the spotlight at The Emmys last night in the Spring ‘10 Aterlier piece. Apparently, January had decided on what to wear weeks before the ceremony as she “fell in love with a dress I saw in a magazine and the designer is nice enough to loan it to me. Comfort in these dresses is not an option. As long as it looks good, I’ll suck it up. I like to take risks, so I try to shock people a little bit. Not so much though.”

Don’t you just love an actress who takes risks on the red carpet?

Magazines that had featured the dress includes Vogue Italia (in which January reportedly chanced upon the dress from), ELLE US and Vogue UK:

“Marion dans les yeux”

Vogue Paris September 2010

The French actress and Dior muse might have been photographed for a lot of magazines and campaigns these years, but there is something about her cover editorial for the September issue of Vogue Paris that is particularly intriguing. The mood and the lighting gives a sense of mystery, Marion perfectly exudes an aura of seductress/femme fatale in the make-up (bleached brows, crimson lips) and styling.

Mulberry Fall/Winter 10/11 presentation and party at Tanjong Beach Club

posted on August 26th, 2010 · by Laila Lu · comments (4)


The Venue, Tanjong Beach Club at Sentosa. Nope, no one (even the intoxicated) fell into the pool.

The Mulberry team from UK flew in to Singapore for the presentation + party at Tanjong Beach Club on Wednesday, and the special guest that had people stalking is none other than TV personality/Vogue UK cover girl/new minted designer (Madewell)/Mulberry muse — Alexa Chung. Although her visit to Singapore is seemingly low profile, Alexa was friendly when approached for pictures, and in a pretty good mood the entire night.

Here are some pictures of the show:
