‘AAA’ - TOPMAN AUTOMNE WINTER 2011

Topman has launched the latest of its ongoing "rock ‘n’ roll" inspired ‘AAA‘ collection modelled by Isaac Carew ( Who we've had our eyes on since seeing him in the Paris shows).

The collection includes a range of shoes created in collaboration with British shoe designer Mr Marc Hare. I really like the shoes and know it will make a great addition to my wadrobe.

‘AAA was born out of a seed of an idea whilst styling bands and musicians for our Flagship New York store opening it became apparent that whilst we may happen to have a fleeting Rock and Roll trend in store what we needed was a more permanent one with a music DNA that our customer could buy into regardless of seasonal influences. A range that made you feel and look like a rock star.’ Gordon Richardson, Topman Design Director.

MARC HARE BLACK PATENT DRESS SHOES

A steel at £90. (Black patent dress gibson style shoe with tan suede detail, as part of the Marc Hare Topman range for AAA. 100% Leather.)

Our girl Kate on Cover of V Mag

35-year-old British actress Kate Winslet graces the cover of V Magazine’s September issue, on newsstands September 8.

Shot by Photographer Mario Testino for The Heroes Issue and styled by Carine Roitfeld. where she channeled one of her own heroes, Elizabeth Taylor.

Here’s what Kate had to share with the mag:

On her childhood: “I was extremely self sufficient. At the age of 9 I knew I wanted to be an actress. I had that sort of determination that that I can imagine in 9 or 10-year-old girl, for a parent, must have been fairly disconcerting … I didn’t know how on earth I was going to pull any of that off, but I was just sure of it.”

On nude scenes: “I hate it! Listen, make no mistake, I just get on it. I just go in and say ‘Oh f—’ let’s do it.’ And boom. If you complain about it or procrastinate it’s not going to go away. It’s a profoundly bizarre thing to do … You can literally be tangled in sheets, and you turn to the other actor and say ‘What the f— are we doing?’ ‘Dear Mum, at work today I had so-and-so’s left nut sack pressed against my cheek.’ It’s sort of unethical if you think about it in those terms.”

Dior Homme - The Wanderer

 Golden cornfields set the stage for Dior Homme‘s draped and dramatic silhouettes of fall/winter 2011. Channeling the mysterious and possibly paranormal side of suburbia, the campaign film features model Victor Nylander experiencing a violent possession by a demonic (but somewhat sartorial) scarecrow.

 The Wanderer evokes feelings of loneliness and isolation despite cloaking itself in dapper Dior threads. Nylander’s fragile beauty, combined with erratic bodily movements that play victim only to the wind, proves to be quite disturbing when juxtaposed against the edge of civilization. The monotonous violin drones throughout the film, cementing the sombre mood to the already monochromatic aesthetics of Dior Homme.

Shot by Willy Vanderperre and conceived by Dior Homme’s artistic director Kris Van Assche, The Wanderer is the product of two Belgian creatives who are at the forefront of today’s fickle fashion industry.
