Jennifer Aniston Covers American Elle November

LOVE this picture of Jennifer Aniston on the cover of Elle US. The styling, the pose, the angle, the clothes…everything about it! Yes it's a tad over-Photoshopped, but what isn't these days? The main things that caught our eye were the stunning shorts from Balenciaga that we are honestly quite obsessed with and some bracelets from David Yurman that are also particularly beautiful to look at.

Catwalk Catchup: PFW Balmain Spring/Summer 2012

Balmain got a whole lot girlier this season and we are loving it! Balmain got a bit grungy these past few seasons and although we liked the edginess, we're glad its back to doing what we think it does best. Heavy detailing, sharp structuring and fine embellishment aplenty, this is the Balmain we know and love. And with the new diffusion line coming out, we think it's about time the line went back to its roots.




Paris Fashion Week got off to a mediocre start, hence the lack of posting (we only comment on what we utterly adore) but the Balmain show alone more than makes up for it. Just like the white and gold goddess inspired outfits, this collection was heaven sent and we genuinely can't flaw a single piece. Plus, some of our favourite models were strutting their stuff on the runway, including Abbey Lee Kershaw (naturally), Freja Beha Erichsen, Anja Rubik, Natasha Poly and Arizona Muse.

We think this might be the new Dolce and Gabbana star obsession for all the magazines…and we bet the celebs are already forming a disorderly queue to be the first ones to be draped in the outfits.

First Look at Balmain's Sister Line

Remember aaaages ago we rather excitedly blogged about Balmain designing a brand new, more affordable diffusion line, which would make its debut during the Spring/Summer 2012 season? Well now we can finally give you a sneaky peek at what Pierre Balmain has been cooking up these past few months. It also doesn't hurt to have a hot blonde model and her rock and roll band help you introduce your sister line to the world, so that's exactly what happened.

You can catch exclusive first looks at the collection in the video shot by Inez and Vinoodh. It features Abbey Lee and her band Our Mountain frolicking around to the tune of their song Devil's Banquet, kitted out in some of the signature looks from the collection. You can catch the collection in its entirety on Sunday during Paris Fashion Week…our appetite has been well and truly whet and we can't wait to see more! 

Balmain launches new line in September

This just in - The house of Balmain has just announced that they will be launching brand new menswear and womenswear lines for the Spring/Summer 2012 season. It's set to launch in September and will be named after Pierre Balmain himself. Cannot wait for more on this! The image is taken from the current A/W 2011 collection.

Kate Moss in bizarre Basement video

Kate Moss has been in a fair few peculiar videos to say the least.

She has previously writhed around on a couch with cartoon serpents coming at her from all angles for Balmain; now Basement have captured the supermodel in a room surrounded by an army of cuddly stuffed rabbits, dancing around for a man wearing a huge, sometimes even a little bit possessed, rabbit head. 

The only thing we can deduce is that it is Easter themed (isn't it?!) - the rest of the details are anyone's guess. Still, it's entertaining. We're not sure how it represents the Basement 'Dream Collection' though...maybe because it is surreal? Does everyone else dream of men with giant bunny heads? Are we missing something? Thoughts? (So many questions!)
