Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen

It's not an easy job to step into someone's shoes let alone Alexander McQueen's. After his suicide last February Sarah Burton finished his nearly done collection for AW 2010 just weeks before fashion week and then later in it was announced she was named the creative director, to continue the legacy of Alexander McQueen. He was a creative genius and can't really be replaced but she did really well with her first collection, looking through archives and keeping the basic ideas done in her own way. The show got good reviews and here's a picture from magazine editorial with some of the pieces. I love! So well done Sarah! You haven't had an easy task but did really well. I can't wait to see the future creations and what she's going to do with the label.

Vintage Sunday

My last new feature (at least for now) is Vintage Sunday. Here I'm gonna be looking through archives of magazines and bringing you covers, editorials, adverts and any odd photos I'm gonna find and love. Starting today with a portrait of Karen Mulder on cover of Vogue magazine dating back to April 1991, photographed by Tyen. I was growing up in the time of The Supers and remember she was one of my favorites. Although they were all beautiful (and still ARE!) there was something about her that I really liked. This is a very good cover, simple just concentrating on her beauty. This shows that less is more. What do you think of this?

Party feet - by Christian Louboutin

This is my other new feature, this time dedicated to shoes. Oh yeahhhh, who doesn't like them. I read that Cinderella is a proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life and it's my new motto. So every Saturday as an inspiration for Saturday night, I'm gonna pick a pair of shoes that has caught my eyes that particular week. Starting with the one and only Christian Louboutin. Women and MEN go crazy over his red-soled beauties and they are favoured all over the world. Who wouldn't like to own at least pair. I fell in love with these straight away and yes, it's no coincidence that they are pink. But what an amazing shade. Perfect to add colour to your wardrobe and give a new lease of life to any old LBD. Wearing those, you'll feel like Cinderella and who knows? You may meet your prince charming as well. Available at mytheresa.com.

Rene Gruau exhibition

Here's a reminder about this great exhibition which is finishing this Sunday I want to urge you to go and see it if you can, before it's too late, as it really is amazing. Rene Gruau was a famous artist who collaborated with Christian Dior and back in the day when ilustration was used more than photography, he did a lot of adverts for the fashion house among other work. The two got on like a house on fire and so Dior gave Gruau a free hand and it was a good decision. His illustrations were different, sometimes provoking and caused a little controversy, but that can never hurt. This collection at Somerset House shows quite a lot from Dior's and Gurau's archives, including sketches, vintage perfume bottles and haute couture dresses, is very inspiring and not to be missed. Photography is not allowed, but I was cheeky a managed to snap few pictures to give you an idea what it's like, especially if you're going to miss it.
Have a stylish day.

Nicole Richie - from geek to chic

Nicole Richie has come a long way. She covers February issue of Lucky magazine, looking better than ever. When the daughter of Lionel Richie appeared on TV starring alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life, she was quite fat (I feel bad for saying this), had a horrible taste in clothes and with all the hair extensions and too much fake tan, she couldn't been exactly described as a style icon. But that was all to change. She famously hooked up with stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe, who transformed her into a beautiful swan. Richie lost weight and even became too skinny at one point, but these days she just looks healthy, happy and glowing. Her style changed rapidly and she is famous for her boho look which suits her so much. Often seen in flowing dresses, loose tunics and pair of jeans, big hats and sunglasses, the improvement couldn't been more obvious. She turned her new found love for clothes into design and has two succesful labels Winter Kate - contemporary womenswear and House of Harlow 1960 - ethnic inspired jewellery. Both collections are easy to wear and affordable. Good business move!
Over the years she experimented with hair colour and few hair styles but now it seems she found herself and looks better than ever. Nicole recently got married and looked absolutely stunning in her Marchesa wedding dress. She has definitely become a style inspiration and I look forward to seeing her new collections, styles and what she gets up to. Good luck to her.
Have a stylish day.
