I’ve fallen in love with British designer Lee Klabin’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 Collection. Breathtakingly beautiful structured pieces enhance the womanly silhouette with the help of boning which runs through the panels and seams resulting in traditional British fashion with an artistic flare!
Celebrities such as Dita Von Teese, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lily Cole are already followers of this Israeli born fashion designer. No wonder really as she manages to create pieces that capture the essence of power dressing but with a feminine edge. Lee’s obsession with emphasizing the female form was always the driving force behind her creations. She studied at London College of Fashion and afterwards started to design couture corsets which caught the attention of enough people that she decided to launch an evening Ready-To-Wear Collection which cinch in and accentuate all the right places of a woman’s figure.

Australian fashion label Sass & Bide, I have to say, is one of my favourite designer brands. The clothes are edgy, quirky, extremely stylish…and just slightly out of my price range. But that does not mean I can’t admire the clothes from a distance right?
This brand has come leaps and bounds since being founded by Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton in 1999 as it was recognised for its unique and creative denim designs that all us fashionistas fell head over heels for! Today it has two distinct ranges – sass & bide and S&B VIE. Both collections offering gorgeous designs and funky, versatile styles.
The founders Sarah-Jane Clarke, aka sass, and Heidi Middleton, aka bide, first met back in 1992 at their school St Aidan’s Anglican Girls School. Even they couldn’t have predicted how far sass & bide would go having picked up a celebrity following such as Fergie, Nicky Hilton and Hilary Duff. Now I have always wondered where the name sass & bide came from, and it turns out it was created by combining both Sarah-Jane’s and Heidi’s nicknames. Such a good idea!

Lets face it we all want a piece of what our favourite celebs are wearing, it’s just a case of knowing where to find it! One funky brand with a huge celebrity following at the moment is Motel, a big fave with chart princesses such as Alesha Dixon, Little Boots, Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud, Pixie Lott, Tulisa from N-DUBZ, Lucie Jones and Rachel Adedeji to name but a few. However, with increasing concessions in Topshop, Cult Clothing, House of Fraser and Ark stores, as well as smaller independent boutiques around the UK it really is one to watch! For those of you who can’t get your hands on any of the Motel label there’s also a chance to shop online for some fabulous fashion, check out motelrocks.com.

All us girls must remember wearing them at some point in our childhood. Back then though we might of thought of them as unstylish or ghastly. Times have changed though as Spring/Summer 2010 sees the return of the dungarees – and they are hotter and sexier then ever!
I personally have a soft spot for this garment and it seems I’m not the only one. Celebrities such as Demi Moore, Helena Christensen and Lily Allen have all jumped on board the dungarees trend. From a denim style by Ralph Lauren to a silk crepe pair by Roland Mouret, or a feminine printed silk style by Roberto Cavalli to a sexy corseted number by Jean Paul Gaultier. These days there are so many types to choose from. Dungarees have come a long way as originally they were only workmen’s clothes and were first worn by women during the Second World War.
If designer dungarees are slightly out of your price range, then why not wear a pair from the high street from stores such as Oasis and H&M – affordable yet uber stylish.
