FASHION ON THE PAGE

REMEMBER THOSE THINGS CALLED MAGAZINES ???
We have all become obsessed with those things called laptops and iphones and blackberries AND IPADS and getting information so quick that there is no time to explain to people what they are going to see before it bounces onto the screen. 


BUT 


REMEMBER THOSE THINGS CALLED MAGAZINES...... they hold information and knowledge we can truly trust and images that scream out to you , inciting you to buy their product. You can stare in awe for hours at a advertisement or article you like without the screen going black or a slideshow of other images that aren't even relevant arrive on your screen.


As a student i think magazines and newspapers are one of the most influential things at our disposal. underneath are some advertisements in Julys elle and vogue that caught my eye.






















































KURT GEIGER -  YOU CAN WEAR FLAT SHOES AND STILL STAND OUT -high street but high fashion ,Geiger has gone for the trendy relaxed style shoot in central London.  Now established as the place to go for your knock out heels they don't need to show a girl stood in a party dress wearing some chunky heeled boots. They are attracting new customers by showing the versatility in their product range. IM GOING TO BE BOLD AND SAY I LOVE THEIR FLAT SHOES MORE THAN   THEIR HEELS.
































WHAT BRAND IS THIS ??


CHANEL 


NO !!!!! 


YES ! 


I was surprised , if you looked in the magazine and didn't see the Chanel logo they would be the last brand id guess this image belonged to. Karl Lagerfeld photographed and Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign and well its certainly a step away from the classic image they usually portray. I think when they chose Blake Lively to be the new Ambassador in the previous campaign they were trying to bring a new freshness to their advertising like Burberry did with Emma Watson. But I and I know many others don't think she was right at all. These new images show off the quirky but classic style of their new collections. it is just slightly shocking to the eye as the transition wasn't gradual. I believe Chanel are the masters of fashion evolution, it is one of the oldest and most established brands in the industry yet with each new collection and direction they take the brand the classic Chanel that Gabrielle started all those years ago continues to shine through.



LOUIS VUITTON - LUXURY, AUTHORITY, TEXTURE, MONOGRAM AND DOGS!!!!
what more could you want ?? 



CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN- BEAUTY THROUGH THE AGES.

stepping past the vintage trend that continues to float around Louboutin have gone renaissance with their campaign and i think it sets a brilliant contrast to their modern pieces.  

LONDON

I moved to london in September 2010 and since then i have been meaning to start a blog, but before i knew it the Uni work and student lifestyle took over and well this is my first post.


I may not be your typical fashion student i.e. i dont walk around the library in 5inch louboutin carrying my gucci bag id much prefer to be wearing my dr martens with a vintage dress and layers of jewellery (most likely that i found while routing through my nans house or charity shops). 


This blog isnt just going to be about fashion it will be about anything and everything that catches my eye. i am obsessed with taking photos and stalking the news so hopefully you may actually learn something.!!!!!
