Editor’s Letter…
Dear lovelies,
Firstly, let me start by saying ‘pardon’ for not publishing my usual daily dose of fashion news of late. As many of you know, I am currently working on my first collection which, along with my full time position, has kept me very busy for the last month. However, there are so many exciting things happening in the next couple of weeks on UptownTwirl.com, I just wanted to share a couple with you…
>> Daily Uptown Twirl posts will resume from today!
>> The Miss Uptown Twirl competition will be going ahead in May! And I have organised some darling prizes for the winner! More details coming soon!
>> More interviews and features on other Fashion Bloggers as well as other people in the Fashion Industry.
>> And something I am super excited about… the Cara Gray collection will be launched online in June! And I cannot wait to show you all what I have been up too!
Last but certainly not least, a special thank you to all of the lovely people who continue to support and read Uptown Twirl. You are very much appreciated.
Lots of Love & Kisses,

Super Stylist, Reality Star & Fashion Designer… Rachel Zoe has the Fashion Industry all sewn up.
With her expressions – ‘I Die’, ‘That’s Bananas’ & ‘Shutting It Down’ – Rachel Zoe is one of the most influential forces in fashion today.
Rachel Zoe Rosenzweig is a celebrity fashion stylist with an immaculate ability to create a ‘red carpet moment’. In September 2008, her reality series, The Rachel Zoe Project, made its debut. The series followed Zoe; her fashion associates, Taylor, Brad and Jordan; along with her husband Rodger – through three turbulent seasons of high fashion drama, delicious styling and a glimpse into the glamorous life of Rachel Zoe. Now the world cannot get enough of this pint-sized fashion dynamo!

About Rachel Zoe Having no formal fashion training, Zoe’s hard work and innate fashion flair has seen her style countless celebrities. Her current list of clients includes the highly stylish: Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, Demi Moore, Liv Tyler, Eva Mendes and Anne Hathaway – to name but a few.

Rachel Zoe – Fall 2011
With an undeniable vintage aesthetic, Zoe’s debut collection calls upon her love of 70’s dressing. Sharply cut tuxedos, faux furs & bow-neck silk blouses; the collection took inspiration from many of Zoe’s own delicious vintage finds!
Of the collection she has said: “I’ve been subconsciously building this collection in my mind for a long time. There are a million vintage pieces that have inspired me, and every other designer in the world.”
What do you think of Rachel Zoe’s first collection? xx

Fragrance Campaign
Miss Dior Chérie…
Natalie Portman For Miss Dior Chérie
Natalie Portman was a beautiful, glowing, goddess when she collected her Oscar for Best Actress yesterday. Her alluring charm also present in the official Miss Dior Chérie photo which was just released (pictured right & I have illustrated above). The Miss Dior Chérie TV campaign, directed by Sofia Coppola, will be playing in homes from March 21st.
Meanwhile, Portman has also spoken out today on the John Galliano controversy, her statement:
“I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful.”
It is uncertain what this will mean for Miss Dior Chérie, whether Portman will stay with the brand or choose to end her contract.
What I am certain of is that Natalie Portman’s Miss Dior Chérie Campaign is simply put… exquisite!
