London 2012 Olympics: Models, and Spice Girls, and Erdem, Oh My!

Did you watch the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremonies? So much amazingness all at once. So many fantastic British performers! Loved seeing tributes to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie…loved Beady Eye…and of course, SPICE GIRLS!!! Zigazigah forever!

But the one thing that I was not expecting, was a tribute to the British fashion industry, as showcased by iconic Brit models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, Lily Cole, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, and David Gandy. Both Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell shined in Alexander McQueen, while Lily Donaldson wore Vivienne Westwood, Stella Tennant – Christoper Kane, Karen Elson – Burberry, and Lily Cole looked incredible in Erdem…who’s technically a Canadian, but whatever.

Spot On

Le boyfriend’s first reaction at seeing me in my new-ish Zara leopard print coat was sheer horror. To him, leopard print in general, translates into a trashy Eastern European woman with no taste. As a person of East European descent, I don’t take any offence to his aversion – I’ve seen my fair share of horrid use of leopard print, zebra print, etc. back home to be able to agree with him that animal prints can definitely go wrong if worn inappropriately. But… can such an awesome and stylish group as Aurora Sansone, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Viviana Volpicella, Poppy Delevigne, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld really be wrong? Sure, they could. But to me, in my humble opinion, a leopard print coat is a chic top-up to a simple outfit. And that’s that. Love it or hate it.

All The Single Models

Eat your heart out, Pete Doherty, Kate Moss is now officially (allegedly) off the market! Kate and her boyfriend of 2+ years Count Von Count Jamie Hince are reported to have gotten engaged in Mustique on her 36th birthday. And if that wasn’t enough happy news in the world of top models, Lara Stone, too, got engaged to actor/comedian David Walliams, after dating him for only 4 months! And while I’m quite skeptical about the length of their courtship, as well as their age difference (almost 15 years), best of luck to them anyway. Can’t wait to see their wedding gowns!

Style Fille: Kate Moss

Speaking of Kate Moss. Just like thousands of others, I’ve always admired this Brit’s style. Effortless is one word that comes to mind. But this outfit, I just can’t decide. I think I really like it, except for the color of her coat (hopefully faux-fur). Is it too orangey?

Topshop Holiday Collections Preview

I’ve been so preoccupied with the many fun and exciting things happening, that I completely stopped paying attention to things like…it’s OCTOBER ALREADY! What that generally means, is that the holiday season is nearly here, and very soon the crazed shoppers will start hitting the malls in search of fresh blood Christmas gifts. It also means, that pretty soon we all will need holiday outfits! The search never stops! Well, thankfully, Topshop people are much more on track than I am, and both Topshop and Kate Moss for Topshop holiday collections will be available in stores come November. In the meantime, we have a preview of the few pieces from the two collections.

And while I love Kate Moss’ style as much as the next fashionista, I am not in love with her pieces, especially considering the price range of $100-$400 (and that butterfly dress!!! WTF?)! My fave items, surprisingly, come from the main Topshop collection in shape of the sequined dress ($410), red velvet undies set ($150), and the black rope dress ($210). All of which, though cute, still seem grossly overpriced! I’ll definitely be waiting to see what becomes available at Zara and H&M. What about you? Are you loving any of the pieces?

Kate Moss for Topshop Fall 2009

kate-moss-topshop3

It’s news like these that make me wish that I was still living in the States! Or at least that we had Topshop in Toronto, or at the very least, that they shipped here. It really bugs me, that so many stores don’t ship to Canada (and when they do, it costs an arm and a leg…I am looking at you Urban Outfitters!)…

But since nothing can be done to fix that…at least not in the near future, and since I am not foreseeing an NYC trip any time soon…these pics will have to do.

Topshop has released a new batch of pictures for Kate Moss’ Fall 2009 collection and it is looking fantastic! I want almost everything! The shoot was really well styled, the clothes are beautiful, and Moss…well, she’s still got it! Do you love it or do you love it?

Topshop people, if you can hear me…open a store in Toronto! ASAP!
