 Jessica Alba's new hair style: bob with fringePosted in Fashion Blog » Hair, Make-Up, Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty Blog » Hair Styles & Colours Blog In my women's 2009 hair trends feature I purposely left the bob last on my list of hair cut trends for the year; it's a little tired, a little 07/08, and more than a little common. But that doesn't stop women the world over going and getting the chop. The latest to join them: actress Jessica Alba, who has paired her bob with a fringe.

 Fuji steps up to fill a Polaroid voidPosted in Fashion Blog » Fashion Industry » Industry news & changes Blog Last Feburary there was a sad, sad day. It was the day that Polaroid announced that they would no longer be making film for their instant-film cameras, and inside we all died a little. No longer would we be able shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture. We all started to hoard film because we knew soon we would no longer be able to get any more. Little did we know we were wrong because this little guy was just around the corner.
This little guy is Fuji's Instax Mini, and right now I'm really tempted to make him part of my camera kit if only for some fun backstage shoots, or out and about with friends.

 2008 'It' Girl: Daisy LowePosted in Fashion Blog » Fashion Pictures & Videos » Street & Celebrity Fashion Blog It's remarkable to think just how far Daisy Lowe has come in so little time. While modelling from the age of 2 (a mother in the fashion industry will do that to you) it wasn't until 2006 that she became a blip on anyone's radar. Shoots in Italian Vogue and W, the odd catwalk, our tipping of her as the next 'model to watch', and her work for Agent Provocateur give enough of a summary for 2006 and 2007 for her; year's which helped project her name onto the lips of every fashioniser, and made her 2008's 'It' girl.

Shoots for Paradis magazine and countless other magazines, a mention in our 2008 hair trends, a fantastic fashion sense that definitely flatters her full figure, and her replacement of Victoria Beckham as the face of Marc by Marc Jacobs: 2008 was a heck of a year for Daisy Lowe. And it is thus you voted her the year's 'it' girl.

 Nudity and fashion: who needs clothes?Posted in Fashion Blog » Fashion Pictures & Videos » Fashion Photo Shoots Blog Move over sex, drugs, and rock and roll, here comes sex, nudity and fashion. Or, if I may: here it comes again + some.

You see fashion and sex have always gone hand in hand, but an utter lack of clothes used to promote clothing and accessories? Yes, sex sells, but it's not all marketing. Rather, some key factors have come into play in recent years; all of which have become distinctly prevalent in 2008 and will affect 2009's fashion greatly.

 What happened in 2008: the Global Credit CrisisPosted in Fashion Blog » Fashion Industry » Industry news & changes Blog The global credit crunch has so far lost billions if not trillions worldwide. We have already started to see the affect on the fashion industry and despite the fact that many luxury goods retails have been thriving, some well established brands are now feeling the squeeze. Australian label Herringbone are one example, with administrators appointed to the company due to a sharp downturn in retail spending.

 Siwy Denim's Spring/Summer 2009 CollectionPosted in Fashion Blog » Clothes, Lingerie, Handbags and Shoes » Jeans & Denim Blog So I was going to do some research on Siwy Denim to write this article about their Spring/Summer 2009 collection and naturally stopped off at Wikipedia. Despite the fact that the site can otherwise fill you full of useless knowledge, it contains precisely nothing on Siwy which leads me to conclude that those whom edit it;
a) Have no fashion sense.
b) Are probably male.
c) Are woefully lacking in trendiness.
d) Probably own toy lightsabers.
Well where they failed we'll keep you informed on the latest 2009 fashion trends, and you can play spot the denim trend in Siwy's latest collection.
