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!

Piercing eyes penetrate through our souls.
Even though the hottest ticket in town (a.k.a sales) is no longer valid at Lane Crawford, we are lured to step into the sweet-scented department store to discover the new season’s entrancing enticements up close and personal, while attempting to meet the ever so impeccable Ms. Sarah Rutson serendipitously and intimately for the trillionth time. The first and foremost origin of this forbidden temptation is none other than a sneak peek of the drop dead sexy Spring/Summer 2010 Ad campaign, entitled “The Portfolio”.

Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw in Alexander Wang's Resort Collection
It totally stinks that we were not able to find any good [1] Alexander Wang stuff at final sales anywhere at all! Argh… Did someone hide ‘em all for themselves – instead of benefitting the food good of the society? Seriously, do I really have to pay full price to wear one of those extremely cool but thin-as-nothing Tee from him? [2] Besides, you know what? Last season stock is actually quite appetising on me, despite being ‘old’ and ‘out of fashion’.

Magnificence from Mrs H's Charming Collection
The new fall collection has just arrived at Mrs H and what do we find? Magnificene once again! The bags, in particular, are simply a must-buy! Get it, when it’s still hot and fresh from the style oven! I love it even more that Mrs. H has this new payment plan, which I can pay in installments. Ohhh… Mrs. H, you certainly can read minds! Shown in the picture above from left to right are my dream bags:
- Jil Sander Brown Glossy Bag, SEK 9,500.00 (link) – I just love the old school style and the fact that you can hold it by the handles or wear it by the straps. So understated, so stylish, so charming!
- See by Chloé Rise & Shine Tote Bag in Terracotta, SEK 5,295.00 (link) – This gold-toned terracotta shade is so rich and beautiful. Simply irresistible!
- Alexander Wang Donna Hobo Bag in Black, SEK 9,950.00 (link) – Biker chic is simply incomplete without this brilliant bag!

Moussy from Japan
Originally, this post was supposed to be about those pants I spotted the other day, which had a print that looks very much like Alexander McQueen’s signature dogtooth print. However, instead of accusing Moussy of being a copycat, I found something that shows that they are actually quite shop-worthy as its own. So here goes Moussy’s terrific three (from left to right):
- As we all have seen from the recent Spring/Summer 2010 shows, tight pants are fading away and we are seeing a new wave of oversized and baggy pants with a skinny cut around the legs. These mid-calf trousers fall perfectly into that category. I especially like the zipper detail on the side.
- When I first saw this zip up skirt, I immediately thought of Alexander Wang meeting Versace. 100% urban sexy!
- Half-visible, half-invisible – these sexy black lace leggings show us the power of seduction.
Available at Moussy’s webstore.

Dear Alex, in-house designers and associates,
Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele in Alexander Wang Resort 2010
Never in my life have I imagined myself saying this, but with the evident of the recent growing amount of posts on your celebrated fashion label, I am proud to say: you are really starting to grow on me and I am starting to like you and your work more and more. Your Cruise 2010 Collection is in fact perfectly charming and I believe it is perfect for me. I love how you kept the collection so urban – casual, but so sophisticated and sexy! Something that sounds so easy to achieve, but in fact is no piece of cake.

Well… I took the liberty to check out mrsh.se’s shoe collection and found these super three pairs that will help you combat these gloomy grey days at a lower budget. Now, let us shoe away!

Natasha Poly, Magdalena Frackowiak and Anna Selezneva in Alexander Wang
Honestly, when Alexander Wang, the 25-year-old designer, first became officially established, I never really felt that he was up for the title. Due to his youthful appearance, I always felt that he might not be a serious designer; but I was so wrong. He is just truly talented. What a visionary? The real turning point for me was when I watched one of his interviews at saksfifthavenue.com, which really demonstrated his true passion for the clothes he creates and that really made me believe in him. I appreciate his work even more now that I know more about his aesthetics and I fully understand why Freja is all “Ja! Ja!” for his clothes.
