The annual amfAR Gala is one of the highlights of the Cannes Film Festival calendar.

Sharon Stone was the auctioneer for the evening, with prizes including a trip into space with Leonardo DiCaprio, a pair of Karl Lagerfeld's gloves, a Damien Hirst sculpture and an Andy Warhol portrait of Marilyn Monroe.

40 of the the world's most famous models, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jourdan Dunn and Lara Stone, also took part in a fashion show. They wore a collection of dresses which were auctioned off  together for 3.5 million Euros.

My top four outfits were Jessica Chastian in Givenchy Haute Couture, Jourdan Dunn in Balmain, Karlie Kloss in Chanel Couture and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Emilio Pucci.

Fashion Sketches: Blake Lively and Katy Perry

Frida Giannini's sketch for the bespoke Gucci Premiere dress she create for Blake Lively to wear on the red carpet at the Met Ball 2014.
Valentino reveals the sketch of the bespoke stage costume designed for Katy Perry's Prismatic world tour.

I found these sketches on Vogue earlier this week and I thought they were really interesting. I always love to see sketches of outfits compared to the real thing! I actually think the Valentino sketch is better than the actual stage costume, but that might be due to the angle of the picture - who knows?!


Phoebe X Illustrated

Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the past few years, you’ve probably heard of E4’s popular reality TV show ‘Made In Chelsea’, and by extenstion, you’ve probably heard of Phoebe Lettice-Thompson as well.

She entertained us all on Made In Chelsea, and whether you loved her or hated her, her blazing rows with other female cast members (most notably Lucy Watson) left us all wanting more.

Known for her individual style, the blogger, photographer and fashion assistant for Tatler magazine recently left the show to pursue her career and is now collaborating with quirky fashion brand Illustrated People.



The collaboration is really something different and unique, and not at all what you would expect of someone who’s used to hanging out in SW3. With fun prints and masculine silhouettes, the collection is inspired by Tokyo street style. The bright pink shades also takes inspiration from the creativity and ‘Kawaii’ (meaning cute) playfulness of Harajuku girls.

Phoebe herself spoke about her inspiration for the unusual collection: “…the shapes in this collection came from a problem I was encountering last summer. I loved wearing baggy basketball hip-hop style shorts but it was impossible to find them in anything other than just plain colours. I needed an entire outfit in matching crazy prints – so this is what I did with Illustrated People. I enjoy the contrast of girly pastel prints with masculine shapes.”

With constant teasers on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr, the collection is getting a lot of hype and promises to be something special. Phoebe just recently posted sneak peaks from the campaign shoot, featuring pastel and jewelled Kawaii nails. It’s just the breath of fresh air the fashion industry needs.

Phoebe X Illustrated launches on 26th May at Illustrated People and Topshop and at prices as low as £35, you won’t want to miss out!


The Sunday Post #2: Best Dressed This Week

Beyonce, Daria Strokous and Heather Marks, Freida Pinto and Karlie Kloss.

I found it really difficult to find my best dressed this week - I loved all of Blake Lively's outfits in Cannes but I want to do a separate post about them. The only outfit I really love here is Karlie's!

Moschino Fall 2014




I was reading Company magazine the other day, and when I got to the end there was an article on fast food as an inspiration for clothing, which got me thinking about Jeremy Scott's Moschino collection for A/W 2014. At a first glance, I wasn't a huge fan of the Moschino RTW collection. I thought it was tacky, cheap looking and too bold/in your face. But I quickly got over that the next day when I had a good, in-depth look at the collection and realised that what I thought was awful, was all part of the charm of the collection. Jeremy Scott took inspiration from mass consumerism and popular American culture. And who doesn't love McDonalds'?! I loved the little nods to Chanel throughout the collection and the Happy Meal and Milkshake inspired bags were just too cute. In the end, I was really impressed with the Moschino collection and I wish I could afford it all!
