Chanel Oh La La in today’s Espresso Shot Of News…
Chanel is my true fashion love. My crème de la crème. Anyone wearing or talking Chanel instantly captures my undivided attention.
Last weekend Chanel Fine Jewellery sponsored the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Arts gala. Kate Bosworth, Kirsten Dunst, Rachel Bilson and Ginnifer Goodwin all attended wearing Chanel. Kate Bosworth and Ginnifer Goodwin looked stunning in black gowns, while Rachel Bilson chose a look from the Cruise 2010 collection (also worn by Georgia Jagger in the ad campaign). Kirsten Dunst wore a white full length gown and striking red lips to ooze Old-Hollywood glamour.
Chanel Spring/Summer 2011
Decedent, intense and undeniably beautiful, the Chanel Spring / Summer 2011 was pure perfection collection. The collection took inspiration from the Last Year at Marienbad, a film from the early sixties in which Chanel herself originally designed the costumes for Delphine Seyrig (the leading lady). With an epic 87 looks, the runway show went for 18 minutes and was accompanied by the sound of a full orchestra of 80 musicians.
As for the clothes… well they were everything a Chanel dream is made of. Incredibly beautiful, exquisite detailing and heaven sent! This collection also had an unexpected cool – Chanel suits were expertly moth-eaten, denim was frayed, there were digital floral prints and feather embroidery.
It was pure luxury on the Chanel catwalk xx

It’s Tom Ford Tuesday in today’s Espresso Shot of News…
Tom Ford Is Back & Better Than Ever
After six years away from the world of womenswear, Tom Ford is back in what people are calling his best work yet.
Making his return in the Vogue US December 2010 issue, Ford is pictured with models wearing his highly anticipated spring 2011 collection. Showing the first glimpse of the collection, which was shot by Steven Meisel, models; Carolyn Murphy, Anja Rubik, Joan Smalls, Stella Tennant, Amber Valletta, Karen Elson and Edita Vilkeviciute, look spectacular in pure seventies glamour.
The collection was originally shown in top secret in New York on September 12th to just a select group. Journalists were banned from revealing any details of the collection until now. Modelling for Ford that day were some of his most stylish and beautiful friends. These included; Beyoncé Knowles, Lauren Hutton, Julianne Moore, Natalia Vodianova, Karlie Kloss and Abbey Lee Kershaw, amongst others.
Of his return, Ford said: “There’s a continuity from what I was doing at YSL at the end; that’s the customer. It’s about individuality. Real clothes, real women. For a fashionable woman aged 25 to 75. That’s why I literally put many of my own muses in the show.”

Prada Perfection in today’s Espresso Shot of News
Eva Mendes Wears Prada
Eva Mendes stepped out recently in a striking look from the eye-popping Prada Spring/Summer 2011 collection.
Looking every bit the polished movie starlet that she is; Mendes kept the look streamlined and chic – pairing it with classic black heels, natural make-up and flowing hair. The Prada colourful strapless dress hugged Mendes’ curves perfectly and made me love this dress even more! The horizontal stripes, monkey and swirl print could be hard to pull off… but Mendes has done it to perfection! Love!
This dress will be available in Prada stores from February next year and will be around £1010. The yellow, lime, jade and black will definitely make a statement in any Summer wardrobe.
About Prada’s Spring / Summer 2011 Collection
One of the standouts of Milan Fashion Week, Prada’s collection was inspired by Latin America. A feast for the eyes, the collection included everything from monkey and banana prints to stripes, florescent coloured furs, and shapes that took inspiration from uniforms – prisoner, postman, sailor, to name but a few. Adventure, fun and eye-popping colour… Miuccia Prada’s exuberance has done it again!
Miuccia Prada’s said of the collection, “It’s time to be bold”. And bold it is…
