Balenciaga's power collage-style ad campaign
I hear a lot of people complaining about the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign, but really, to me, it’s just perfection. The power collage-style with models overlapping each other in a criss-cross way is pretty playful. Accompanied accordingly by splashes of sizzling colours like citric yellow, fanta orange and lime green amidst the clean so-not-boring grey background, this set of photographs by Steven Meisel just screams fresh in a larger than life way to me. That’s Balenciaga, baby!

Haider Ackermann Cresta Leather Pocket Waistcoat
Have you ever met a piece of clothing that makes you feel that you are born to wear it? Well… I think I have just found my ideal match: Haider Ackermann’s Cresta Waistcoat (€1379) is certainly an addictive piece that I would not want to take off once I put it on. Made in Italy, this fine waistcoat with its eccentric detailing speaks of an incredible style that is elegant and refined – yet it also has a purely punky Edge that is overwhelmingly tough and powerful.

Carmen Kass is overexposed in Self Service Spring/Summer 2010 issue
Overexposed? That’s certainly the way that the Carmen Kass fan club would love to see the super idolised Estonian top model. Taking that term literally, photographer and editor in chief of Self Service Ezra Petronio has captured Ms. Kass through an indifferent light in this set of rather provocative photographs for the magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 issue. Styled by the ingenious Suzanne Koller, the star of the editorial is seen dressed in the season’s hottest and rawest utilitarian pieces from Alexander Wang, A.P.C., Chloé, Céline, Balmain, Emilio Pucci to Hermès. Polaroids perfect!

Victoria Tuaz wears Peter Jensen Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection.
It’s not every day that I fall madly in love with a fashion label in a matter of micro seconds, but it certainly looks like this is such a shameless case today. Namely, Peter Jensen’s Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection is simply fantastic! Running high on the innovation factor, the Danish-born designer’s signature is his mischievous touch on each piece of the collection creating something slightly twisted, but always youthful and super refined.

Less Than* Showroom
I remember the day when I went to the Less Than* showroom like it was yesterday. It was a fine but chilly day in March. As a result of JFW overload and unsuccessful adjustment to the weather, my brain was really frozen that day, so really, I wasn’t expecting much in particular. With a little bit of difficulty finding the venue, (because the entrance to the building was slightly hidden and that the exhibition moved from level 4 to level 5 or something like that), I made it to the showroom. Stepping into the exhibition space, one could really sense the immense creativity behind the work.

Anastasija Kondratjeva in Erdem's Tomoko sunnies
A collaboration between two amongst London’s sea of talents – the iconic eyewear label Cutler & Gross and the celebrated fashion label Erdem – resulted in something magnificent. With its colourful Kyoto watercolour-printed frame in classic sixties style, it looks like this edgy pair of Tomoko sunnies (£290.00) from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection is the perfect accessory to accompany me during the flamboyant season whether in the city of by the beach. Mmm… Fantastic!

Day 5 of RAFW: Arnsdorf Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11
When I first laid eyes on Arnsdorf show invitation, I knew precisely it would be something absolutely extraordinary and I was not wrong at all. Sleek, chic and extremely refined, beautiful girls with bright smiles showed off the Spring/Summer 2010/11 line entitled “Opticks” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. Designer Jade Sarita Arnott’s approach for the upcoming season focused upon the incredible idea of “reflection, refractions, inflections and colours of light”.

Are you ready? Out tomorrow (Monday, 10 May 2010) at Urban Outfitters is an exclusive lingerie collection from New York based label The Lake & Stars. The collaborative collection entitled “Double in Brass” features quite a lovely range by designer duo Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker. Photographed by Tom Hines, the images of the lookbook show off the collection’s streamlined silhouette under an unbelievably fresh and youthful way. I, myself, certainly cannot wait to get my hands on those brilliant body suits. I wouldn’t be shy to wear those sweet bra tops as outerwear.

Day 5 of RAFW: Miss Unkon Spring/Summer Collection 2010/11
Circuit running fashionistas may have been über-tired on Day 5 of RAFW, but it was certainly worth running around in the highest sky high heels ever to see Miss Unkon’s Spring/Summer 2010/11 show. Designer Courtney Meyer opened the show with Olympic Ribbon Dancer Naazmi Johnston doing those unbelievable moves of her amidst the playfully decorated venue. Waving a pink ribbon gracefully in her hand, it was as if she had the wizard’s magic wand, with which she entranced the audience into a dreamy state to be in the right frame of mind for the upcoming display of absolute gorgeousness.
