KATE.MOSS.FINAL COLLECTION.

.The new Kate Moss Autumn/winter collection at Topshop will be Kate Moss's FINAL collection for the brand.

.The collection is fabulous, the clothes have a 70s-inspired style with a hint of boho and a vintage-inspired jewellery range has also been created.

.What i personally enjoyed was the new Kate Moss diary available on the Topshop website,

The diary describes what Kate Moss wears each day in the run up to the launch to the autumn collection.

To celebrate the release of the collection, Kate Moss will be hosting an evening in the London Oxford Circus Topshop on the 1st of Novemeber, the night before the collection is sold, with a cocktail bar and special guest DJs the night is not one to be missed!

.FRED PERRY. PERFUME.

.A new product idea for Fred Perry that I have created is a new perfume.

.The brand has not released a new perfume since the 1970s.

.Looking and comparing perfume bottles by the brands competitors such as;

Lacoste, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger,

I began sketching a perfume bottle that I thought would be suitable for Fred Perry.

.I kept the bottle design simple and classic and used the Fred Perry Laurel to imprint on the front.

.I then edited my design on photoshop.

.The design will be included in my Brand Presentation task that i am completing with a group of people on my course this November.

.LARA.STONE. 'SEDUCE ME' .

.My favourite images of Lara Stone from Interview Magazine October 2010- photographed by Craig McDean and styled by Karl Templer.

.LARA.STONE..THE.NEW.KATE.MOSS.?.

.Lara Stone.- is .EVERYWHERE. Known for her larger size 8 figure and iconic gap-toothed pout she is becoming the next most powerful supermodel since.Kate Moss. and a poster girl for the new curvier women who are coming into fashion.

.Stone has had a remarkable year. In June she signed a triple contract with .Calvin Klein. which will see her work for its collection, CK and Jeans labels. Her previous campaigns include working with .Louis Vuitton. Givenchy. Jean Paul Gaultier. H&M. and. Prada. Stone has also appeared on catwalks for.Chanel.Prada.and.Stella McCartney.

.In 2009 British Vogue called Lara Stone 'girl of the year' and she had an entire issue of French Vogue dedicated to her. The only other model to gain a similar credibility and honour was Kate Moss who guest-edited Vogue in 2005.

.Her more recent work involves being on the cover of November issue of British Vogue and on the 90th anniversary issue of French Vogue-wearing the minimum of just a mask,a choker and a pair of gloves. Stone also appears in the November issue of Interview magazine photographed by Craig McDean wearing a Monochromatic Wardrobe, featuring the work of .Louis Vuitton. and more.

.STELLA.MCCARTNEY.

.In todays seminar, I did a presentation about Stella McCartney's new clothing range for children. After a previous collaboration with .Gap Kids. Stella McCartney is now launching her own collection for the brand in November, following the likes of .Burberry.D&G.and.Dior. who have also expanded into this market. The British designer who is pregnant with her fourth child, is designing the line on a more personal level.

.The designs draw on the designers signature style, clean cuts, subtle tones and with modern aesthetics. Intrestingly the pieces are named after children's first names for example, 'Ingrid Floral print dress dress' and 'The Sam wool and cashmere blend pea coat'. Stella McCartney has also included eco-friendly pieces for example, 'The Organice Onesies'. Items will be sold through a dedicated websites with express shipping to 200 countries. The collection will be stocked at Stella McCartney stores in .London.NY.LA.Paris.HongKong.and.Tokyo.
