Wow! Lily Cole shows the world her edgy side

Lily Cole is practically known for her effortless ease of portraying innocence. Right? Well, we think it's changed with her red head locks now a deep, mahogany brown. Yes, that's right, she's ditched the innocence for something much more...sexy.

The Urban Slouch: S/S/11

Power dressing is over. Knife like shoulder pads are being slaughtered in our new years resolution like a pig to the butcher. Well, maybe not so disturbingly graphic, but it's doesn't stop the resolution ending.  We are forgetting our 19th century heritage and going for the languish drape pouring from our bodies. Clothes that hang.

Buy me some Pyjama's. Fashionable ones.

New Page: Inspire: Fashion Files: Chloé

Chloe Fall 2010

Inspire is the IT Page. Designer Buys, high-street equivalents and a bit of DIY on the side. Tres Chic.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hannah MacGibbon's collection for Chloe has made it a one stop brand of timeless buys. Each piece can be worn day and night, work and play, and their all just as delicious. Their a mix of both seasons, which would smugly fit into summer and winter wardrobes. Chloe Fall '10 is the investment list, and an essential if you are taking your clothes capsule.

When we think Chloe we think of Neutrals, sheer white. sandstorm browns and Naval Blues. But, how do you call a burnt Orange belt neutral? Hannah manages to capture the art of accessorising a basic colour palette with a streak bold colours.

Hannah MacGibbon is the genius who has revived the Paris based fashion house.

Where To Shop
If your looking for a high-street shop that has taken inspiration from Chloe A/W/10, then look no further. In fact, we have two shops that are bang on trend. Zara and Mango are both worldwide brands, and are both on our hot list. Below we build a look similar to the one above (left)...

Shirt, www.zara.com, £29.99

Trousers, shop.mango.com, £54.90

www.zara.com, £16.99

Stylist Tip's:- Leave the shirt untucked, wearing the belt around the waist.
-If you prefer a more geek chic look, tuck the shirt in (also for formal occasions), and you get the bonus of it being similar to other runway looks from Chloe.

Designer Shop
If you have a lot of money to blow, why not by the authentic version. We are talking of essentials, here.

www.net-a-porter.con, £1,340

As before, £630

Stylist Tip's:

- Layer on a sumptuous faux fur coat with a orange belt for eveningwear.

- Take this outfit from minimalist to bare opulence. A Heavy gold necklace, striking bronze thread jacket and a hair piece fit for a queen.

Clashing Heat With Flames: A Lethal Combination.

We talk of New Trends Like it Wasn't Around 70 years Ago

NEWSFLASH! Hot new looks, straight off the runway, the 50's shift, A-lines and a dose of 60's slutty chic! New? NEW? We're calling this new. Well, it could be new in terms of next generation new, or new designer. But how, may I ask, do such Fashion Houses as Prada claim a prize for a dress that has had it's neckline slightly tweaked from the old design. Were not new, we're practically golden oldies with some of the stuff you get on the NEW Catwalk. And the biggest scam of them all would have to be the Utility Jacket (diamond quilt). We are getting quite lame, stealing a 1940's farmer's dress sense. What HAVE we got this coming summer, a bustle in the backside, perhaps?

DIY Love: Shoes

Forget going vintage, we like to fake it while being tree-huggers.

Lacy Menace: It's so easy to make a pair of shoes laced, you could probably do it with your eyes closed (though may turn out wonky). Buy a pack of eyelets, available at most textile retailers. Then evenly space out the eyelets across the edge of the shoe (instructions are usually included) on both sides, using equal amounts. Then take any pair of laces, ribbon, maybe even elastic (left). The shoe has to be open top (basically not boots) for it to work. Ask for the small size eyelets when purchasing, or go for big if you want a unique take.


Stamp stamp stamp: We all know those things that go on envelopes when were sending off bills of cards, right? Well, why not stamp them all over your shoes (not the stick on ones). Choose anything, ink stamps in the shape of flowers, URGENT stamps, or a stamp from a nightclub. Sure to be statement whatever you're doing.

Cut Me up: Plastic or rubber shoes are perfect for sinking a knife into....sanely, of course. Why not try making interesting shapes into your shoes?

Paint the Town: Quite literally paint the town red with your shoes. paint them all over, or use a mosaic to do your dirty work. Differentiate the colours (with the mosaic) to make them boho chic.
