Naomi Campbell Loves….Alexander McQueen

Naomi Campbell is having a bit of an Alexander McQueen moment.

The supermodel who is known for her phases, picked fashion week to showcase the British brand.

During New York Fashion Week she wore an Alexander McQueen belted cape dress which we’ve seen on Jennifer Aniston.

She wore her LBD with black suede Alaia sandals.

This week the super attended the Toni & Guy London Fashion Week Hair Show at Somerset House.

Naomi looked very sophisticated as she donned an Alexander McQueen wool and silk-satin tuxedo jumpsuit which has sleek tailoring for ultimate boy-girl inspired look.

Today at the Topshop Unique show during London Fashion Week, Naomi wore her 3rd McQueen look in succession.

Her Alexander McQueen zip-detailed halterneck tweed dress was made into an edgy look as she paired it with leather cropped zipper pants which we saw on the Fall 2011 runway.

Once again she wears Alaia sandals and a silver necklace as worn with all three looks.

House Of Holland Spring 2012

The House of Holland Spring 2012 presentation was a lot of fun.

Henry Holland has quite a following, and I’m not referring to the celebrities as I spotted at least 8 women of all ages wearing the designers’ signature patchwork print Fall 2011 pieces in the audience.

This Spring collection was dominated by prints; plaid, cow and python on a pastel colour palette of mint, lilac, apricot and French navy.

We saw shirts with different colour cuffs and collars, python bra’s, mesh vests, pleated plaid skirts, jumpsuits, drop-waist dresses with pleated skirts, asymmetrical dresses, metallic mesh dresses and python pants with zipper accents which had Jamie Winston saying, “f***ing hell, they’re awesome.”

Some of these pieces were paired with metallic chunky knits, because we’re not always guaranteed a summer here in blighty.

Key accessories included python belts with a gold padlock; Nicholas Kirkwood for House of Holland python print heels, Kim West latex bras and pants.  Katie Hillier created the bags and the jewlery and House of Holland for Pretty Polly provided the fish-net tights and socks.

Front Row: Eliza Doolittle, Nicola Roberts (didn’t get the orange memo), Jamie Winston and Pixie Geldof.

Favourites: Plaid jacket and pleated skirt and ombre cow print drop-waist dress with pleated skirt

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Jamie Winston, Eliza Doolittle, Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe, Lily Allen, Pixie Lott, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding, Fergie, Rihanna, Agyness Deyn, Katy Perry, Leigh Lezark and Fearne Cotton

Cat Deeley In Roland Mouret – Primetime Emmy Awards Performers Nominee Reception

Cat Deeley attended the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards performers nominee reception at Spectra in West Hollywood, California on Friday night.

The ‘SYTYCD’ host wore a beautiful Roland Mouret Kashchei dress from the Spring 2011 collection.

Her moss green print dress with draped details on the hips is accented with a black ribbon.

Cat’s bronzed makeup gives her the English Rose a Californian glow whilst her updo suits her sophisticated dress.

A black Mulberry oversized Ava suede clutch completed her look.

Julien Madonald Spring 2012

Normally I’m too jet-lagged after New York to enjoy London Fashion Week, but Julien Macdonald’s Spring 2012 powerful bold collection erased the sleep from my eyes yesterday morning.

The first part of the presentation showcased military inspired pieces with square top military hats, boyish blazers, waistcoats and waistcoat dresses which were layered with crisp white shirts, dresses, fitted pants and nude leather quilted jackets.

A lot of these pieces were backless to provide a sexy edge.

Chinese prints and colourful knits followed before a succession of glamorous looks.

The cocktails dresses and gowns shimmered with beaded details and swayed with metallic tassels.

High octane gowns followed. Sheer gowns with the winged feathered embroidered details which are very Givenchy-esqe followed a bright canary yellow haltered gown and a silver metallic backless halter.

Key accessories included Porsche Design sunglasses, Breitling watches, platform heels and silver metal belts which toughed up most looks and played to the military theme.

Martin Cullen for L’Oreal Paris created the wet-look tightly pinned hairstyles sported by the models with black, red or white paint. Miranda Jones and her L’Oreal Paris team applied that beautiful bold ruby red lip colour.

Front Row: Rosario Dawson, Alesha Dixon, Bianca Jagger, Eliza Doolittle and Lorraine Kelly (yes that Lorraine Kelly from GMTV).

Favourites: Chinese print halter dress with handkerchief hemline and leather quilted jacket with sweater and black skirt

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Rihanna, Jade Parfitt, Pixie Geldof, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elle Macpherson, Olivia Wilde, Keira Knigthley, Heidi Klum, Shingai Shoniwa, Jessica Alba, Minka Kelly and Beyonce Knowles

My New York Fashion Week – Highs & Lows

Here are a few highs and lows from my week during New York Fashion Week.

These are my top 11 looks from the shows I attended in no particular order, but the Zac Posen edelweiss gown was my favourite look from Spring 2012.

HIGHS

Top 5 Shows: Zac Posen (Glamorous Red Carpet Awards Season Gowns from Look 1 to 35), Oscar de la Renta (Big Gowns, Big Name Models, Big Hair), Prabal Gurung (The Christopher Kane of New York – Crazy, Sexy, Cool), J. Mendel (I Wanted Every Piece including the Shoes) and Preen (Pretty Pastels with an Edge).

Stylists: I met so many stylists including uber stylist/designer Rachel Zoe this season. Whether I have given their clients a good or bad reviews, they are appreciating what I’m doing which is really exciting.

Reunion With Twitter Buddies: For 6 months of the year I spend my time tweeting, retweeting and replying to messages from my fashionable friends across the pond. It’s always great to have a FW reunion. This season I met @PurseBlog for the first time after being a fan of her blog for over 3 years.

Edit Chauffer Driven Car: It was so refreshing not have to fight 200 fashion folk for a taxi after a show for just one day.

The Weather: They said it would rain all week but the sunshine held out until the last day, so it was strappy sandals every day.

theOutnet.com: For the second season in a row my friends over at theOutnet.com dressed me for New York Fashion Week. It’s always fun playing dress up in designer pieces.

Adding New Designers To My Schedule: This season I was very excited to add Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs and Luca Luca to my schedule.

Staying In An Apartment: This season I stayed in an apartment in New York. It was the best decision I ever made as I wasn’t awoken by room service who didn’t read the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign or the dude who wants to refill the mini bar at 9am when I’m trying to get some shut eye.

Alexander Skarsgård: I saw him at the Mulberry party. He is so hot that I couldn’t bear to look him in eye in fear I would faint.

Magnolia Bakery: Serve the best cupcakes and cheesecakes in the world.

LOWS:

Marchesa: There was only 1 low. Not being invited to the Marchesa show. They have every right not to invite me as not Anna Wintour or Tim Blanks, but as a huge supporter of the brand I was frankly devastated. Previous seasons I have run to the nearest Starbucks to upload the pictures on my blog. At this point I still haven’t looked at the collection on Style.com.
