If you have ever considered taking a trip Down Under now is the perfect time… Stella McCartney’s second collection for Target has been announced!
While Stella McCartney has just shown her 2011 Spring / Summer Collection in Paris; it was also revealed her second collection for Target (Australia) would be hitting selected stores on October 29th!
The 42 piece Spring / Summer collection incorporates an impressive array of chic, versatile separates. Jeans, trousers, skirts, dresses, blouses and t-shirts are all well represented in McCartney’s smart, chic signature style. A true reflection of McCartney’s design aesthetic, the collection has a strong focus on her sharp tailoring and well-cut silhouettes. Lace and sequins are also used with great success for polished, sexy feminine separates.
McCartney’s last collaboration with Target in 2007 sold out within a couple of days. And with prices ranging from just $20 to $199 (both in Australian Dollars), this collection looks set to fly off shelves even faster! It will also be available up to size 16. Target unveiled the collection at the Altona mansion harbour-side at Point Piper. Instead of a catwalk, models moved and interacted around different displays – from taking high tea to lounging in deck chairs.
My Favourite 5 looks:

1. Tulip Dress with Tie in Magenta
This dress is my absolute favourite! Love it! The sleeve length, neckline and nipped-in waist work perfectly for a powerful, sexy look. And the magenta colour is divine! (pictured above in Ivory)
2. White Lace Tee and Ivory Tulip Skirt
The lace tee and tulip skirt are so pretty together. Love the tulip shape combined with the delicate lace.
3. Collarless Jacket, Lace Tee & Tight Lace Trouser
Signature Stella style – the ivory jacket, black lace tee and cigarette trouser equals seriously chic.
4. Lace Dress in French Blue
With a beautiful neckline and sleeves, this lace dress is lovely in French blue.
5. French Blue Shirt with Tie and Wide Leg Trouser
A fantastic pair of trousers are an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. When combined with a dress shirt means effortless chic.

The world just cannot get enough of the fabulous, fierce and fantastically talented Mrs. Beckham!
Last week Victoria Beckham was nominated for the Designer Brand of the Year. Since then Eva Longoria Parker has stepped out wearing Victoria Beckham at the launch of her fragrance in London. And that’s not to mention Beckham is currently preparing to unveil her Spring 2011 collection on the Manhattan catwalks of New York Fashion Week this Sunday! Victoria Beckham is a force to be reckoned with!
Victoria Beckham’s Fantastic Fall 2010 Collection…
Elegant, sexy and streamlined; Victoria Beckham’s Fall collection was an impeccable line-up of dresses ready and waiting to be coveted. Describing her collection as “an exercise in control: working with structure and drapery”; Beckham’s pieces are precisely that – a perfect combination of fit and soft fluidity. With Dick Tracy as her inspiration, the collection fittingly appeared in eye-popping rich hues of red, emerald green and sapphire blue alongside black, charcoal and camel.
With keen attention to detail, luxe fabrics and a focus on shape; Victoria Beckham’s pieces flatter and do wonders for feminine curves. Waist-clinching bets, high heels and strategic placement of clean lines and draping, make her hourglass dresses shop-stopping red carpet favourites. Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez have all walked the red carpet wearing her gorgeous gowns.

STYLE FEATURE…
Melbourne Spring Fashion Week was held this week and a series of Designer Runway shows highlighted the fresh, light and elegant essentials for Spring / Summer down under.
One of my favourites – Arnsdorf ’s “Opticks” collection (originally presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, in May), focused on the idea of “reflection, refractions, inflections and colours of light”. The collection was chic, feminine and sharp yet utterly ethereal.
The clothes all had strong geometric shapes to create flattering effects on the female figure. Featuring a mix of light neutral colours (from nudes, caramel and lilac) followed by strong rich shades (coffee browns to brick red); the collection’s final looks went onto to show a spectacular kaleidoscope of prints. The spectacular shattered-glass prints were the result of a collaboration with graphics and print designer Roanne Adams.
Arnsdorf is receiving international acclaim as one of the best young Australian brands. Focused on exploring narrative through her designs, Arnsdorf pieces lead audiences through a playful journey of the collection’s story / theme.
Created by designer Jade Sarita Arnott, Arnsdorf made its debut in 2007. Arnsdorf is stocked in premium boutique stores around Australia, New Zealand, North America and Europe.
