We're in this months issue of OYSTER magazine!

Yes, we're in the social pages so let's just add that to our 'Press Clippings' arena of TIFB. And yes, it was indeed the Viktor&Rolf party which I wrote about last time (and inserted the picture of in a previous post). But hey! At least we got in! =)Grab this month's issue of Oyster magazine for cutting edge fashion."Issue 80 features queen of reinvention Grace Jones, the darkly elegant Rick Owens, experimental filmmaker Michel Gondry, Haute Couture darling Alexis Mabille, as well as the brilliant Animal Collective, synth-pop duo Telepathe and cover girl Alice Dellal.

As well as this we get an insight into London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 09, talk to designers Christopher Kane, Mario Schwab and Louise Goldin about their distorted silhouettes and feature original artworks from Australia’s most conceptual designers, Akira Isogawa, Perks and Mini (PAM), Romance Was Born, Kirrily Johnson and Elke Kramer.

Plus sensational fashion photography by Stephen Chee, Marissa Kaiser, Trevor King, Andy Tan, Daniela Muller-Brunke."

We LOVE IT! Many thanks to the lovely PR companies and Oyster Mag.

Fur is fashion?

Judging from the amount of fur shawls, fur lining, fur headwear and fur trim which has erupted from the runway shows with labels like Hermes, Valentino, Anne Valerie Hash and Christian Dior all embracing the fashionable side of fur. Fur has been a PETA related fashion debate for quite some time now, and honestly, amongst all the avante garde creations which have been popping up here and there recently, it's nice to know that if there is anything I no longer have to purchase to add to my wardrobe, it would be a fur coat as my grandmother had left me one to inherit from her last trip to Paris. Overall, I'm just saying that it's nice to be able to find the quality of such items back in fashion; just as the little black dress is purely synonymous with class and taste; fur appears to epitomise the same level of luxury. And as for the satin Hugh Hefner inspired Dolce pyjama pants from last season...well, those can be left in the bedroom. xx Lisa

Neckwear is the new accesory.

Forget Louboutins for once and embrace the neckwear trend which is quickly emerging into the collections of significant designers such as Christopher Bailey for Burberry, Marni, Vera Wang, Miu Miu and Matthew Williamson...just to name a few. Whether they are chunky, beaded, embellished or just plain old interesting, it's time to bring some jewellery back into our wardrobe styles, and with fashion week almost over (key word; almost), it's time to wear elegant Salvatore Ferragamo kitten heels again with a classic black Roland Mouret ensemble, dressed up with a crazy neckpiece. Now, doesn't that sound like fun!
