Martha Streck and Joan Smalls for Gucci A/W 2011

We're a little bit jealous of a certain Miss Joan Smalls these days; not only did she strike a few poses with the gorgeous Mr Bruno Mars in Vogue, but now she is dressed head to toe in some of the finest pieces from the Gucci A/W 2011 collection. Some girls just have it all, don't they! 

The tailoring of the A/W collection is rather magnificent; the majority of it oozes class and sophistication which is the impression we got from the runway, and seeing it in catalogue form is making us fall in love with it all over again. Although we adore the elegance of the formal dresses below, the hints of menswear are what make the collection stand out for us. Last season was all about the boys with the boyfriend jeans and cardis, but this season it's all about the men - classic menswear pieces and silhouettes make for a much more demure and business-savvy collection. Well, Gucci always do mean business!

Burberry Brit opens in Covent Garden this week

Burberry Brit is opening its first ever UK store this week,  which will be situated in the prime location of London's Covent Garden. 

The minds behind the Burberry store aim to make it more than just a store/shopping experience, and the shop will be kitted out with iPod docks for shoppers to control the tunes, and a video wall, which will showcase the current trends straight from Burberry HQ. There will also be live music performances in-store to really optimise the shopping experience and set it apart from the the rest. 

The shop will stock womenswear, menswear, eyewear, watches and fragrances. It officially opens its doors on April 15.

Mugler A/W 2011 campaign images just released

The campaigns for Nicola Formichetti's Mugler A/W 2011 menswear have just been released. 

Starring model Rick Genest, and shot by Mariano Vivanco, the images are as daring as they are striking. 

The more we see what Nicola Formichetti churns out as the newly appointed Mugler creative director, the more we see how fitting his relationship with Lady Gaga is. Suddednly, a meat dress doesn't seem so out of the ordinary. 

We can't wait for the next Mugler instalment.
