Shocker, Stella Love :

It's fairly obvious that I adore Stella McCartney from this blog alone. And so it takes no guessing to know that I love love loved her latest ad campaign, which follows on quite nicely from her Disney embellished campaigns with an artist collaboration with Barry Reigate.

I love that the photo itself is minimal, as is the dress, the makeup, the setting... but Reigate's little doodles over Stella's name adds the playful touch that we're so used to associating with the brand. Natalia Vodianova looks stunning as ever, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Looks like Stella McCartney isn't the only brand from my list of favourites looking to the art world for their Fall 2010 campaigns... Bottega Veneta's latest ad takes on the feel of Robert Longo's 'Men In Cities' series. I'm thinking this might be a possible dissertation topic... the mingling of fashion and art. Or something like that, decisions = eugh.

Beautiful ads, though.

Kate and Stella, I'm in love :

Don't look back into the sun :

I'm off on my holidays today fashionistas, Lanzarote here we come. I found this beautiful editorial on Fated To Pretend making me excited for sunsets and beaches. Also, how much could all of these shots have been in the latest Stella McCartney campaign? Add some illustration, et voila? I might have a go when I get back. In the meantime, I will miss all of your beautiful blogs and I look forward to a mega long reading list when I return.

Tonight the stars were shining bright :

So having trawled through all of Style.com's coverage of the Costume Institute Gala, I must say I'm rather disappointed. With 'Model as Muse' as the theme of the night, I was expecting some great pairings, and even greater outfits. My usual muse, Leighton Meester shocked me a little, in a Louis Vuitton dress with matching, clashing (it is possible, trust me!) leggings. If she'd have perhaps left the leggings at home I would have loved the look a little more. Such a shame, she's a stunner.
Not to dwell on the negative, here are some of my favourites from last night;

#1. Kate Bosworth in Stella McCartney

I loved this look from the off, and loved it further when I found out that it was by Stella. Just lovely.

#2. Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson and Stella McCartney, all wearing (you guessed it), Stella McCartney. All three look stunning but I particularly love Stella's jumpsuit. She looks gorgeous.



#3. Diane Kruger in Chanel.
She is so beautiful, I love the entire look... the colour, length, hair, shoes, clutch. Just love.


# 4. Gisele in Versace.
I'm not usually a Versace fan, but you can't deny that Gisele is looking hot right here! The colour is great and the dress shows off her enviable, mile-long pins. If you have it, flaunt it, after all!


#5. Michelle Alves in Marchesa.
Now this is how to do pregnant goddess! Wow!



Also looking fabulous last night were Coco Rocha (on top form! she looked every inch the super model she is), Jessica Stam, and Miranda Kerr, although I can't find photos that do them enough justice yet. I'll try and post them asap. (photo credit : Style.com)xoxo

Elle Collector's Editions

London Fashion Week celebrates its 25th birthday this year, so to honour the occasion, Elle UK has collaborated with designers Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane and John Galliano to produce special Elle designer covers. I particularly love Galliano's Brit inspired cover, and Stella's Valentines-esque RND design (shown below), all available to download from http://elleuk.com/subscribenow . The limited editions of Elle with these covers will also be available to buy at London Fashion Weekend. I'll just have to have a few copies then!

I Heart Stella

I am a huge Stella McCartney fan. I am also, a huge fan of Kate Moss. I love illustrations.

Therefore I absolutely love the new Stella McCartney ad...

Carrying on the love in this post, I really do adore the new Stella collection for S/S 09. And the last collection, and the collection before that, come to think about it...

Stella - nor Kate for that matter - can do any wrong in my eyes!

Love it!
