Lover is brand out of Australia… I love the clean and simple collection they designed for SS08,
You guys should have a look here for more info

Its been a year and a half since he dressed the graduating runway for CSM with the freshest looks I have seen in years. Something truly new. Something with an undeniably deep inspiration and someone with an instinct that fashion eyes are keeping close tabs on. With only 3 seasons under his belt, Christopher Kane has made it very clear that he is one of the leading designers of our generation, at only 24 years old. Introducing himself with his deliciously colored 90’s inspired bondage dresses, finished with an impeccable attention to detail for Spring 07, he had me in awe. Where would he go next, how would he translate this aesthetic into the next season, and there came Fall 2007, another shocker! Not what I expected but so sexy and exciting still.

The combinations of fabrics included leather, velvet, metallic details and over-sized gemstones with a Victorian inspiration; still a feeling of that 90’s nostalgia. It was flirty, but serious and sophisticated. And now here we are for Spring 08 with yet another beautifully calculated collection and yet another surprise. Using snake skin printed chiffon frou frou juxtaposed with tattered denims he was able to continuously portray this super sexy, feminine but dangerous woman. This change of track that he has taken his bystanders on has been able to maintain one constant factor of the equation, the Christopher Kaness of it all. Its so early in his career to say something like this but his range of exploration has proven that his name will only continue to grow and influence the future and history of fashion.

You’ve got to check out top shoe designer Jonathan Kelsey, who learned his trade with Jimmy Choo. ( Fashion runs in his family, his cousin Stuart Vevers won the Accessory Designer of the Year at the 2006 British Fashion Awards.) The shoes have a kind of polish and sophistication that I enjoy but with a rock ‘n’ roll edge that any age group will lust over.

They are available now at Saks 5th Avenue.

London’s Project Catwalk ( like our Project Runway) winner Kirsty Doyle has the best collection of any Project anything contestant I’ve ever seen. She uses luxurious fabric with unique designs that truly stand out. Above is her F/W 2007 Collection, it’s got a little something for everyone.

We all thought that the Neo Californian Posh or even Donatella Versace will by taking care of the wardrobe for the Spice Girl last tour, but apparently it seems that its Cavalli himself who will design the costumes…

Master in the Art of Glamorous VIP, Roberto Cavalli is really happy to be the one in charge of the re-imaging of the Spice girls. From the five Spice Girls, its Victoria Beckham that has the in with Roberto. She is the one that asked him to design the outfits for the crew. He has designed a few silver outfits for all of them.
