I am completely blown away by Gisele Bundchen. Her body, face and aura absolutely exudes everything the Versace collection was about. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott whom are two of my favourite modern day photographers continue to captivate me with their unique and innovative ideas.
Then we have Yves Saint Laurent. Stefano Pilati has taken the infamous Mariacarla Boscono - the muse of Riccardo Tisci - and has used her unusual yet striking beauty in this classic campaign.
Taking another classic approach to advertising is Valentino. Calm, graceful and aesthetically pleasing to the human eye. Valentino is definitely one of my favourite SS12 campaigns.
Known for their high-end glossy luxurious campaigns, Gucci never fails to tone down how the rich and wealthy live. Constantly showcasing the best hotels or locations, garments and models, Frida Gianni will never fall below the radar when it comes to setting the lifestyle aspiration level for us young and trendy Fashionista’s.
Furthermore, who would’ve thought British luxury brand Mulberry would end up shooting an advertising campaign at Brighton Pier?
With such high-end glamour, classic simplicity and creative visuals from our favourite top brands, I can only sit and think what AW12 will bring.
Amazing!
Who will dare to illustrate ‘The Midi’ skirt without stepping into a territory of awkward lengths? Here are some of my most loved picks from the hottest trend out.

O Yes.
She took a nine month break from the music industry to relax and do the ordinary things in life like play with her nephew and visit broadway shows and museums.
“I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do.” - Beyonce
She describes it as the “the year that changed my life” and now the queen is back, looking healthier and beautiful as ever. Not only does the star ‘run the world’, Beyonce has had a huge affect with fashion and lifestyle magazine publications too. Essence magazine (pictured above) delved into her personal life whilst Dazed & Confused and W Magazine presented the curvaceous superstar in a high-fashion light, adorned in some of the finest new season collections such as Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Nina Ricci, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Marc Jacobs, Gareth Pugh, Haider Ackermann, Stefano Pilati and pieces from the highly exclusive Tom Ford womenswear collection who happens to be a friend of Beyonce. Great names right? Take a look at the final outcome:

Ok, so I’ve been uber busy with my job, internship and university work but did you really think I was going to ignore the fact that my potentially biggest fashion icon of all time, Kate Moss ended the Louis Vuitton show smoking! I couldn’t contain myself.
The British model hasnt been on the runway for three years and made a special appearance on the runway by being the model to end the show. Naomi Campbell also walked in the show. I think Marc Jacobs is a genius at castings. He always makes some unexpected choices and leaves everyone on the edge of their seats once the first unexpected model comes out. E.g. Adriana Lima and Noemie Lenoir in 2010.
There’s never gonna be another rebel like Kate Moss. Never!!!
