Get My Look: Queen of the Damned
In Fashion, Fashion Heat on July 5, 2010 at 12:52 amGet the Look: Elly Jackson
In Fashion, Fashion Heat, Good Look, London, UK, style on May 3, 2010 at 6:26 pm
Elly Jackson (La Roux)’s style is certainly having an impact on the world. Who would’ve thought that this tender 21-year-old ginger, who once sported a folkly look with waist-length hair would become this super-pop, super-hot icon we’re seeing today.
Jackson’s got the right amount of goth, nu-rave and rock’n'rolla to make the sexes swoon and still avoid looking like a jumble of crap! Says a lot. Congrats to her styling team for brilliantly putting her together. Sure enough, Jackson’s got a grasp on her fashion (London’s a melting pot, it’ll have an effect on anyone for god’s sake), but her teams glaming it up with futuristic explosion! What’s particularly fab is that cameo necklace she’s constantly wearing. The British emblem’s been juxtaposed with colourful leggings, a Piet Mondrian print jacket, Mars(ed)-out eyeshadow and her signature coif! I guess she’s letting people know that even though she’s upgraded, she’s still Elly from the block.
If you’re taking on the look, this confidence, confidence and a whole lot more of that confidence thingy is crucial. Sprinkle some Ziggy Stardust in your coffee and just get on with it. Cameo necklaces are worn in the most boring or conventional (gothic) ways. Do like Jackson and put a new spin on Victoriana!

Trend Report: A Workman’s armour

Diesel Black Gold Fall 2010
Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2010
Ralph Lauren Spring 2009
It’s time to trade in those feminine garbs for ’real’ clothes. Since we can remember, fashion’s empowered all types of women; the power-shouldered working girl, to the spike heeled, potty-mouthed punk. Designers have sent models gliding down the runway wearing a multitude of masks, but this time there’s a new girl in town. And she’s not afraid to be rugged, tried and true blue. The overall wearing worker’s woman is the star for this season.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s overalls were wide-legged, Parisian chic while Diesel’s version for it’s Black Gold collection was lolita-sexy. The most controversial of all, Ralph Lauren’s shredded super-baggy take was all-America southern comfort. Fans sat aghast, but we had to tip our hats to these designers for refusing to wear that trend-adapting security blanket.
The bleu de Gênes overalls brings a fresh perspective on fashion’s current status. Wearing them means you’re not afraid to get down with the rest of society. It’s a defiance from the trends orchestrating a glossy’s trend pages because you’re your own woman. As a form of the rebellion, the frustrated workers of the depression era, and the hip-hop youth of the `90s wore overalls as a way to define themselves as working class. For the fashion girl, it’s seeking an alternative to skin-tight clothing she’s been embracing for seasons. This time around, she’s drowning the air’s honey dew sweetness, arms shielding face while soaking up the sun.
Harem, jodhpur, and slouch pants all brought a touch of glamour to comfort. But overalls speaks depth. For a more trendy look, try them super-short with a shredded hemlines. You can also a try a slimmer, indigo for that urban cosmo appeal. If you’re brave enough, baggy, distressed overalls with your favorite converse and loose-fitting tee brings just the right amount of hick to the fashion front.

Fashion Heat: Luella, London, UK
In Fashion, Fashion Heat, Rouse, designer on November 20, 2009 at 9:34 pm
I’m sure by now we’ve all heard the news; one-time cool girl line Luella will not be selling anymore. I really only heard of the line while in the Vogue offices, but I remember it sure was a funky brand.
Owner Luella Bartley started the line in 1999 after a stint as a Fashion Journalist for Vogue, The Face and Dazed. She experienced success designing for US retailer Target‘s Go International line and launching a limited edition bag collection in Hong Kong, she was also in high demand by the likes of countless slebrities including Cate Blanchett, Kate Bosworth, Reese Witherspoon and Sienna Miller.
You can still get whatever’s left at Net-A-Porter, FarFetch and Colette.
One to Watch: Ashish, London, UK
In Fashion, London, One to Watch, designer on November 20, 2009 at 5:30 pm
It’s no wonder so many of the fashion obsessed always tend to look abroad for inspiration. Whether it’s the magazines, music and most importantly – the fashion, it just seems like the nation overseas – particularly the British – are just never afraid to push the envelope and venture into territories that are daring, and intrepid.
When I look at designers like Ashish it’s like a breath of fresh air to me. He has been on the scene since 2001 and you can cop some pieces at Net-A-Porter and Browns Focus. But I do find his reach a bit narrow. I would love to get him over here in Toronto, but maybe it’s all about that humongous break.
