RESORT 2012: THE BIGHEADS ARE BACK!

Posted by Fashion Editor at Large

Oh, I just couldn't resist the lure of a Big Head post! What better way to celebrate my favourite looks from the Resort 2012 collections, I ask you?  It is a bit "look at me" as so many blogs and fashion editors columns are these days but Susie Lau, Lisa Armstrong, Jess Cartner Morley and Polly V have so much fun starring in their own personal fashion shoots, why not join in? This way I get to be skinny and jump around a lot in nice clothes without lifting more than a few fingers on photo-shop (well, ahem the Fashion Junior does that, so I can't lay claim to the effort). I've been confined to bed all week due to a rather unexpected turn of events so have had ample time to peruse the resort SS12 collections and formulate exactly where fashion is going. Here are my top ten personal picks.


Max Azria

The easy cotton shirt, tracksuit-ish trousers and little retro looking pumps are so SS12. Trust that sporty vibe

Celine

Phoebe is still leading the pack with her work. Love the trilogy of shirt, trouser and sporty jacket in an all over wallpaper print on black.The sporty track jacket is delicious.


Celine

Mmmmmmmmmmm.... Makes me want to break out  my copy of White Women by Helmut Newton


Gucci
I am a confirmed fan of Frida Giannini's work.Think what you like about that, as I'm not your cookie-cutter Gucci girl. This dress is proper great. I'm also in the market for a Gucci handbag. I haven't bought a designer bag for over a year because I cannot find anything I like enough.

Kors

This outfit has my name all over it, except the shoes. NO to them. I still love pink trousers, a year after first seeing them



Preen

Thea, Justin? Remember when I saw you the other night and said I loved your Resort coll? Well, this is my favourite outfit. OK?? (Mel, stop fantasising)

 
Vuitton

Marc has been doing patterned pajama's at Vuitton for a while. A lot more people are doing them now (Celine, Jonathan Saunders, Thakoon, Gucci to name a few) but his are still my favourites. I could do with a pair of these now, for looking stylish against the pillows, and enable me to pop up for yet another blood test looking cool)

Jason Wu

This guy is fast shaping up to be my second favourite New York designer


Lanvin

This is luscious

Lanvin again!

If you're going to buy a jumpsuit, this one with a matching turban has to be the ultimate. Looking at it makes me dream of the social events I might attend in it, and the things I would get up to and sod that its white.

MET BALL 2010

Posted by fashion Editor at Large


Sienna Miller wearing Emilio Pucci and Jude Law at last nights Met Ball in New York.

When I first started working at Grazia, Sienna Miller and Jude Law were in the heat of their first love affair. I think media pressure broke them up. So I got an unexpected thrill of pleasure this morning when I saw they had made their first public engagement as a couple the second time around at last nights Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit to celebrate the opening of the exhibition “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity” aka (for obvious reasons) The Met Ball. The event was sponsored by Gap, with US Vogue, so a huge night for my friend Anita at the Gap, who has been working closely with Anna Wintour for weeks to ensure the night went smoothly. ANYWAY. Back to Jude and Sienna I do hope this time it is for keeps.  And don't they make just the most gorgeous couple. For some reason, I just love these two being back together.
MY TOP TEN MET BALLERS

How impossibly cool do Sasha, Sean & Kemp look in Marni?
 
Chanel Iman in Michael Kors
Alexa in Phillip Lim tuxedo with Phillip Lim
Princess Anne Hathaway in Valentino
Lily Donaldson missed the show season, and gained some good-looking curves. She is wearing Marc Jacobs
The lovely Lauren Santo Domingo in Proenza Schouler
Carey Mulligan looking cute in Miu Miu
Kirsten Dunst with Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. KD is wearing Rodarte for Gap. Wonder when (or rather if) that dress is coming in store????
Ms Bosworth never disapppoints. The Valentino dress is ravishing.
