Josh Goot for ASOS.











Josh Goot, Australia's answer to Pucci has just released his second collaboration for ASOS.com.
Unlike many of today's collaborations, Goot's collection stays close to his main-line range. His designs are cut well, clean and precise with his signature panel detailing and body-con shapes. The geometric print is back (first seen in his SS2010 collection) set off against the strong black, in touch with the minimalist trends of late and the colour blocking/print trends for SS2011. 
Once again Damn you ASOS for making me want to spend all my money on you!! 
However with pieces starting from around $75, it will be money well spent. There's no excuse not to really!

I Love Grunge.





smells like teen spirit Vogue 1992

I have recently had the overwhelming urge to dress grunge.
I don't really know why, maybe its because I was too young to appreciate it the first time around. I love the floaty dress, biker boots look. I also have an array of mens flannel shirts for some reason...
The 90s was the bomb so why not relive it?

Heavenly Creatures.

        
I have to admit I have been slightly disappointed with the Couture collections so far... Well not disappointed exactly, maybe just underwhelmed? 
Then came Riccardo Tisci and his Givenchy collection. 



        

        


Tisci knows how to make a woman look good; his dresses fit the body like a second skin. 
They have such air to them that it would seem they are not wearing anything at all. 
The clothes take on a supernatural quality, while white is the colour of innocence you get a sense that the clothes harbor a little darkness, a bit of mystery to say the least. 
I love that he didn’t feel the need to over do the eccentricity of it all. 
The craftsmanship of the garments is exquisite; lacework, beading, hand-cut silk and angelic pure white feathers. The use of gold thread makes me think of this as a company of Greek goddesses, all angel-like and serene but ready to strike at a moments notice.
