Welcome Back...
After a 6 year absence from designing women's wear, Tom Ford debuts his first collection from the Tom Ford Womens wear line in the December issue of American Vogue, Shot by Steven Meisel. As you can imagine, its kinda a moment!
Ford’s most glamorous women friends and acquaintances, spanning Hollywood, music, society, and high fashion, had all dropped everything to fly in and model for him, no questions asked. With 100 guests seated expectantly, Ford stood by a mantelpiece, in black tie, with a mic, and introduced his cast as “many of the world’s most inspirational women,” proceeding to read out what they were wearing. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he declared, in old style–camp diction: “Please welcome . . . Miss Lauren Hutton, Miss Liya Kebede, Miss Rinko Kikuchi, Miss Rachel Feinstein, Miss Lisa Eisner, Miss Beyoncé Knowles, Miss Marisa Berenson, Miss Stella Tennant, Miss Amber Valletta, Miss Natalia Vodianova, Miss Karen Elson, Miss Lakshmi Menon, Miss Karlie Kloss, Miss Abbey Lee Kershaw, Miss . . . Julianne Moore!” By the time “Miss Rita Wilson” wiggled out, turned, and threw a lingeringly saucy, head-back, hands-on-hip pose in a “corseted fil coupe dress with thigh-high lace boots and black seamed stockings,” the atmosphere was “getting a little giddy!” she says, laughing. “I sensed people really enjoyed it.”
I can only imagine how inspirational that show must have been, as Tom Ford personally introduced each of his muses to the runway. Welcome back, Mr. Ford.

Jaime & Holly sittin in a tree!
Jaime Winstone is one girl that always looks great on the red carpet, whether shes going grunge with Alexa Chung, or glamming it up, like at The Variety Club Showbiz Awards. Jamie wore a stunning graphic maxi dress, reissued by Holly Fulton as part of Fashion East's 10 year anniversary.
Lulu Kennedy, the founder of Fashion East chose to celebrate its 10 year anniversary with a re-launch of ten dresses from alumni past collections. This is the organization that gives young designers an opportunity to launch their labels - some big names were discovered along the way, they are credited with helping launch Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders, Marios Schwab to name a few.. and also Holly Fulton

Little Bit of a Bargin!
Is there anything more annoying than being at a concert and being stuck behind someone with a giant SLR! Or a sea of iPhones waving from side to side, which at the end of the night probably contain shaky out of focus shots.
Anyways hopefully this won't happen Saturday April 16th, when Swedish Pop Folk (Polk???) songstress Lykke Li comes to Dublin's Tripod. And with tickets starting at just €20 are on sale now.

I Don't mean to be rude, but you a fat monkey!
Flip-Flop-Skulptur von Florentijn Hofman: “The Fat Monkey is a site specific work which was created out of the question from the Pixelshow to make a sculpture during their conference in 2010. Made with the help of local students and made from the brazilian icon; the flip flop which obviously works as one of the 10.000 pixels. The fat monkey is a work in the series Obeastitas
Its amazing to think what can be done with a hand full of fill-flops and a bitta imagination. (Obviously there was more than a hand full involved but dont let that discourage you!)

Seeing Double!
Vogue China always brings something new to their editorials, in my opinion anyways. It is probably because we are some inundated with the skinny pouty white girls on the pages of Vogue UK and USA editions.
Plus Liu Wen (the Model) is bringing it in these shots, like an Asian Coco Rocha, lots of movement, lots of fun!
Shot by Yuangui Mei, Double Illusion will run in the December Issue of Vogue China.
