And another thing...

SOMETHING else I stumbled upon earlier today that really caught my eye; Love magazine (pretty well known for their controversial covers) have launched an interesting concept for their bi annual third edition.

Issue three; the Fashion Icons issue has eight different covers with eight models who represent the ideal of beauty in fashion today - including Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Naomi Campbell - all pretty much naked!.

"For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover," LOVE's editor-in-chief Katie Grand told VOGUE.COM. "We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements."

"The point is that 'perfection' is not fixed, timeless or transcendent," Grand - who put Beth Ditto on the cover of the first ever issue of LOVE - explained. "It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show."

The eight covers, photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, will go on sale in one week's time - Monday February 8 - priced £5. Visit www.thelovemagazine.co.uk for more information on the issue.

Totally amazing!

To celebrate Alexa Chung being Vogue's cover girl for this month, they've set up a truly amazing blog so you can snoop on what she's wearing every single day for the next month. :)

'Alexa Chung's Fashion Choices' was set up on vogue.com so that the television presenter / fashion icon / cover girl could send daily pictures from her mobile phone, with a little bit of info about her fashion choices for that day.

I think not only is this a really nice way for people to use Chungs style to influence their own wardrobes but also makes excellent use of the technology available these days.

Alice is in Wonderland

WHILST Alice Temperley is getting set to show her ready-to-wear collection for autumn/winter 2010-11 at New York Fashion Week next month, us mere mortals are still excited about buying pieces for the approaching summer. The British designer's hotly anticipated, and reasonably priced, ALICE by Temperley collection is almost ready to launch.

With the same feminine but rock-inspired feeling as the mainline collection the line is priced from £60 to £500 and will debut at department stores internationally, including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Harrods, Neiman Marcus, Isetan and Net-A-Porter.

Celebrities including Gemma Arterton, Fearne Cotton, Laura Bailey and Ben Grimes have already been spotted wearing preview pieces from the new ALICE offering, but the rest of us will have to wait just a little longer, as the collection won't be in shops until the second week of February.

The collection comprises simple jersey pieces, light knits, and covetable summer dresses, as well as the signature Temperley denim and leather biker jackets. (I WANT!) Fabrics featuring simple white embroidery Anglaise and striped jersey sit cosily alongside Temperley's famed prints, including polkadot, floral and tiger.

LFW: Fashion to aid Haiti

SUPERMODEL Naomi Campbell joined First Lady Sarah Brown yesterday to launch a London Fashion Week catwalk show in aid of the survivors of the Haiti earthquake.

The show, will take place during London Fashion Week, which starts February 18. High profile models and celebrities are going to take to the catwalk in designs by Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Dolce & Gabbana - amongst others - to help the cause.

Campbell and Brown have worked together before for another charity - the White Ribbon Alliance, of which the model is an ambassador and the First Lady is patron.

Brown told Vogue.com at the launch yesterday; "The British public has been amazingly generous in its response to the tragedy in Haiti." "Your donations are already making a massive difference and we can still do more."
