I really didn't know how I would turn these pictures of Kelly Rowland modelling for photographer Rob Ector into a post, but I just couldn't help but post them up. I don't know what she's been eating or drinking but she's looks fabulous. Now hurry up and put out an album that will match the attitude your giving me Ms Kelly.
I came across Kaya Scodelario's spread for Instyle magazine, and was intruiged by how Stylist Amanda Bellan managed to incorporate "Effy's" style into this cutesy pin-up style. One of the areas I want to venture into is styling, and I now unconciously find myself analysing editorial spreads looking at how the model, the clothes, the theme etc... interlink with one another to create a feature that stands out amongst other features. I guess if you want to be good at something, you've got to study it.
I can't wait to get this issue! I normally wait for my friend in Deptford market to come with his back dated magazines for only £1 each... but this can't wait. Must cop. Will cop.
I would like to know what the writer means by "What's Rihanna hiding behind her ghetto get-up?" Unless every designer that's shown in London, Paris & New York produces "ghetto" fashion I'm a little bit confused as to what they mean. Whoever wrote this is doing nothing to change people's perception of Australia.
Here are sine candid's of Alicia Keys and Beyonce (who's been a busy bee lately) on the set of their video for the song "Put it in a Love Song". Everytime I see Beyonce's body I feel bad about the last chocolate bar I devoured and feel the sudden urge to go to the gym.
It's being filmed in Brazil and has a very African Carmen Miranda feel. I love the outfits! They have me wishing summer would hurry up come so that I can pull out my batik skirt as well.
Star Style Gazing:Frankie, Cheryl, Rihanna, Vanessa, Beyonce
If you haven't guessed it yet, my lack of blog post is due to the fact that I have tonnes of work to do. However, I'm on strike tonight, so I thought I'd give you -my readers a little something.
I was absolutely loving Frankie from The Saturdays, Cheryl Cole and Rihanna's sportswear inspired look-I'm mad about the trend in case you haven't noticed. All three of them have taken very casual pieces and taken it to a whole 'nother level. Jameela Jamil's fearlessness of baring her long legs in a mini dress was a look I really liked on her as well as Vanessa Williams "PETA where you at?" look(I'm assuming she's on set-Wilhelmina's my chick). And I've thrown in a picture of Beyonce in the morning - not because I'm weird, but because I'm annoyed that she looks that good in the morning I don't even look that good with make up on in the morning... even though there's no doubt she adjusted herself before she came outside- There's no way she was going to be seen in a headscarf and sleep creases on her face.
Rihanna featuring on the cover of W magazine completely caught me off guard - I wasn't expecting it. I'm not crazy about the cover, but I think the editorial is gorgeous.
Two models that caught my eye this year were Rosie Hungtington-Whiteley and R'el.
R'el (pronounced R-E-L) also came to my attention during this summer and has somehow managed to blow up very quickly this past fashion season. Her alien like look makes her ever so appealling and it will be interesting to see how 2010 measure's up for her, even though I am sure she will go from strength to strength.
David Koma is currently living every fashion design students dream. Fresh out of university, pieces from his autumn/winter '09/'10 collection that he debuted in the infamous Central Saint Martins graduate show have been snatched up by stylists to clothe the likes of Cheryl Cole, Rihanna and Beyonce, and he has since shown his spring/summer 2010 collection during London Fashion Week. Rumour has it that David Koma will be showing again at London Fashion Week this coming February, which I cannot wait to see what he produces. David Koma's future appears to be as bright as his spring summer collection - if not brighter.
In terms of style, this year was all about Amber Rose and Jameela Jamil for me.
Amber Rose really and truely should have been the girl we love to hate - an ex-stripper and video girl turned rapper's (Kanye)arm candy. Instead, her ability merge Chic with Street kept us all interested. 2009 is drawing to a close, yet I am still trying to figure out what it is about her that makes it work. Is it the way she carries herself? It must be. Who else can be a [uk] size 12 (I'm guessing) with a generous backside, rock a level 1 cut, and can still bag a spread in Elle?
...Right.
Jameela Jamil, who also caught my eye this year, has gone from strength to strength in such a short space of time and is being hailed as the next Alexa Chung. The way she she doesn't care and wears crop tops with short-shorts as well as her self-deprecating humour makes her so loveable. I mean as tall and stunning as she is, you'd expect her to be... otherly? But she seems down to earth, and well just... normal.
I think she should go into fashion or something, seeing as this music thing isn't working for her (why must her record label continue to do her wrong?).
