The new fashion bible

My fashion radar must’ve been particularly strong this morning, as I felt compelled to pop into my local corner shop and browse the magazine rack.  What did I spot?  Company magazine’s brand new new bi-monthly stand-alone; High Street Edit!

Showcasing the best of high-street fashion alongside designer news, it is an absolute must-read for all you fashionistas out there.  It features news and reviews from the fashion industry, the hottest collections, on-line fashion and designer collaborations for a style savvy shopper! 

Company editor Victoria White describes the magazine as “a title for women who have a real love for high fashion, but find themselves stuck between shopping weeklies and designer-only fashion magazines”.

If you only buy one magazine this season, this has to be it.  Make sure you don’t miss a thing!

Kelley Lilien, one in a million!

I’m loving everything about Kelley Lilien; her work, her positive outlook on life, her love for all things luxurious and her great passion for design and use of strong colour.

Mrs Lilien, a sister site by Kelley Lillien, is just delightful!  The images are full of colour and ooze luxury.  The blog is a must-read… she puts together outfits, accessories and homewares and describes the type of person they would be suited for.    Not only that, the posts even rhyme!

Kelley is a graphic designer based in the US, specializing in logo design and brand identity, print communications and packaging.

A visionary master

Hugely talented fashion designer Alexander McQueen sadly took his own life on Thursday 11th February, leaving behind a world-renowned clothing line.  His designs were true works of art and wonderfully inspiring.  How amazing are the prints on these dresses, below?

McQueen was awarded a CBE for services to the fashion industry and was named International Designer of Year at the Council of Fashion Design Awards.   A true inspiration to the industry and a leading light in the world of fashion.  Read more here.

The romantic world of Michal Negrin

It’s hard not to be impressed by Michal Negrin’s pieces, with such intricate detailing and exquisite design.  You instantly feel transported to times gone by, entering into a world of crinolines, cupcakes and afternoon tea!

Michal Negrin is best known for her vintage-inspired designs that include jewellery and now home décor and fashion.  She began selling her designs in 1988 in Tel Aviv’s open-air marketplace and has grown to be one of the most recognised designers in Israel.

Negrin’s Visitor’s Center was opened in 2009 in Bat Yam, on the premises where her jewelry is made, where customers can have a browse and immerse themselves in Negrin’s magical world.  All pieces are hand made and rather expensive!  But worth it for the unique look.
