Your Fashion Fix

Tiny rock and roller Taylor Momsen is the latest star to front U.K high street store, New Look. Widely known for her role in American drama, Gossip Girl, as well as being a part time rock star, Momsen and her edgy style means she is the perfect face for New Look’s latest spunky range.

In stores now, Taylor’s range features key pieces which embrace all current trends. Lace crop tops, stripey bodycon dresses, floaty fabrics and leather jackets means this collection covers everything that’s hot in fashion at the moment : nautical come Parisian chic, grunge, and feminely fierce. Let’s have a look at some of our favourite pieces.

Check out this sheer mesh crop top at just £16. Wear over a plain black tank top with some black skinny jeans, patent heels and finish with dark, smokey eyes and you will look like a rock and roll minx.

Or how about this pearl and bead striped tunic at an impressive £20? This nautical number will set off your inner French femme, while the additional shoulder embellishments add a hint of quirky cool.

If you are a super fashionista, the Taylor range also features these Hareem trousers. Coming in blue or grey, these uber trendy pants, which have recently been embraced by the likes of Cheryl Cole, feature cute button detail down the front. Wear with a loose tank tee and gladiator sandals to pull off the ultimate laid back chic.

Finally, we love this sleeveless denim biker jacket which comes in at £25. Taylor rocks this number alone with a pair of skinnies, yet if you don’t feel that brave, you could sling it over a t shirt and still rock that rebel rebel look.

Love hit US television show Gossip Girl? Love the fashion just as much? Well, good news! High street favourite Miss Selfridge are to create a collection inspired by the show’s costume designer Eric Daman – one that’ll be based on the four female lead characters – Serena Van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Jenny Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams, which will be hitting the shops at the end of April.

The collection will feature key pieces including a leopard print boho maxi dress in the style of Vanessa, a ruffle front shift dress with a floral skirt in the style of Blair, a black body con bondage dress in the style of Serena and a nude and black lace tutu style skirt in the style of Jenny. Miss Selfridges’ creative director Yasmin Yusuf said ‘We are delighted to be working the Warner Bros television series, Gossip Girl. The dresses we’ve created based on the characters fit perfectly with our spring/summer 2010 range. Our customers love the show and the styles of the girls so the partnership is perfect.’ Consisting of eight pieces in total, the collection will retail online and in store from £39.

Warner Bros general manager of consumer products UK added ‘Fashion is intrinsic to Gossip Girl and a key ingredient in the continued popularity of the series. Miss Selfridge has created a collection that is true to the ideals of the show and one that young women will aspire to own. We’re certain it will be a commercial success, and the beginning of a long-term relationship with the retailer.’

Following from the success of their debut collaboration with Hed Kandi last year, Miss Selfridge are likely to be aiming for exactly the same success second time around. And hopefully this will be another in a long line of successful collaborations between the high street retailer and some of the biggest names in entertainment.

Supermodel Kate Moss has revealed that she has been asked to exhibit her designs in an upcoming exhibition taking place at Paris’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs next spring.

The 36 year old has been dabbling in the fashion industry for a while, even launching her Topshop collection back in 2007, bringing fashion icon style to the high street.

Kate is still modelling and will appear on March’s cover of Harper’s Bazaar and is said to be shocked about being asked to exhibit her collection.

People magazine reported Moss as saying: “I just didn’t believe it” adding “I’m not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I’ve never been to design school. I can’t sketch. I can’t cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.”

Good to know that even supermodels have fears about how their work will be received and it goes to show that an eye for design can be far more important than courses or qualifications.

Although Kate doesn’t see herself as a “proper” designer, her designs for Topshop have been extremely popular and no doubt budding fashionistas the world over will be eager to see her designs for the Paris exhibition.

We all know Miley Cyrus; the pop sensation keeps surprising everyone and keeps fans across the globe entertained. Max Azria is no stranger to fashion lovers either, since he is known to be the man behind brands like BCBG and Herve Leger. What would happen if they work together? The Miley Cyrus & Max Azria fashion line.

Miley Cyrus & Max Azria can be categorized as a pop collection, with fashion items and accessories designed to make you look chic and sporty. The fashion line is surprisingly affordable, even for those of you on a strictly tight budget. The collection works best — and mostly designed — for teens, but fashion lovers of different ages can also use the collection to mix and match with other fashion items to create different looks.

My personal favorite is the tunics. There are different models of tunics and tanks available in the Miley Cyrus & Max Azria collection. The crisscross ruffle tunic is simply amazing; combine it with a nice pair of skinny jeans and you have one solid look for the day. You can also opt for the one-shoulder fringe tunic or even the racerback tunic and combine the fashion item with blazers or jackets.

The boyfriend vest may seem a bit ordinary at first, but you can easily wear it with a nice t-shirt or western shirt to look beautiful for the day. Don’t forget to check out Miley Cyrus & Max Azria bottoms as well, since they are offering some of the best leggings and denims available.
