More Confetti Prints

Last season, we reported on the trend of Confetti Prints: dynamic, multicolour, pointillist patterns.  They have proven to be a very desired look and the trend has held strong for Spring 2010.  We're still very in love.

Lily Allen at Chanel

Ugh, we can say it again and again... Chanel can do no wrong.

But stealing the ballerina tights from Nina Ricci Fall/Winter 2007 wasn't the coolest move.

 

Glitter Shakira

We're currently watching Shakira's She-Wolf video.  Our first reaction is that she's dancing inside a glitter vagina.  Second reaction, we really need a nude bodysuit.

Alexander Wang Wins the Swiss Textile Award

Hot off the Twitter presses of JC Report and The Business of Fashion, Alexander Wang has won the Swiss Textile Award.  The International Design Competition awards 100,000€ to a young designer on the verge of international breakthrough.  It's definite that Alexander Wang is one of the strongest young design talents in the U.S. and the rest of the world has now officially caught on.

Costume Glitter

Costume National had some of the best interpretations of the LGD (Little Glitter Dress).  The fabric is indescribable - it could be beaded, lamé, lurex encrusted - hard to say!

  

Sexy Hair

Sexy People Blog just convinced me that this hairstyle is making a comeback.  Combine 80s fashion revival with the abundance of hair extensions these days and some modern version of this hairstyle is bound to be appearing in an important editorial or fashion show near you.

 

Spider Silk

Thanks to Teddy for the heads up on this amazing, rare fabric woven from spider silk.  It was produced in Madagascar with the filaments of one million Golden Orb Spiders.  The golden colour is natural.

Glitter Shoes

Vogue.fr has had a make-over!  The site is now slightly easier to navigate with more web content.  They have done a wrap up on Glitter Shoes for the season including Christian Louboutin, Balmain, and Brian Atwood.  We got kinda crazy for these Louboutins...  and oh yeah they're 1895 euros.

Fish Patterns

Animal prints will never, ever go away.  As an alternative to the die-hard leopard print, we would like to propose some new animal prints found under the sea.  These fish patterns look animal but are fresh, unidentifiable, and most importantly original.
