Sky High Style: Birdie Prints
Birds are timeless, as demonstrated by Sienna Miller’s famous, swallow wrist-tattoo (see here) and the re-occurrence of dainty wings on the catwalks. Designs took flight at Tibi AW 2012, where designer Amy Smilovic feminised the casual attitude and masculine tailoring of her AW pieces with graphic bird silhouettes in black and navy. While Smilovic’s birdies soared elegantly over silk shirts, skirts and pants, Burberry’s countrified AW12 collection coveted woodland owls that perched on cosy knits. Actress Lizzie Olsen is a fan of the vintage-look birdie, pictured (top) in an Isabel Marant, tiny bird-adorned blouse. Stylist Joe McKenna chose to put Brit model Edie Campbell (below) in a cockerel-motif jumper for…

Happy Birthday David Bowie!
Yep, today one of our all time favourite pop stars turns 66! He has also very excitingly announced that he is soon releasing a new album – his first in 10 years! David Bowie is no stranger to fashion experimentation and along with his music, it is for this reason that we love him so (oh and also Labyrinth; 1980’s styling + Bowie in lycra + The Muppets = one of the best movies ever!) Take this image from 1973, where Bowie is showing us all how to rock the monochrome stripe – along with a handbag and bracelets. An outfit so timeless it still looks fabulous today. So grab…

Valentino: Master of Couture Exhibition
Valentino’s Pier Paolo Piccoli and Maria Grazia Chiuri never fail to produce flawless designs.

The Out-There Knit
It looks like Jil Sander’s bizarre but oh-so-desirable Picasso-themed sweater of SS12 has caught on, as more and more fashionistas are embracing the kooky sweater. A cool and quirky knit is a must-have for your wardrobe and I’m thinking, the wackier the better! Model Cara Delevingne (above left) is not one for following a trend half-heartedly, pictured showing off her Jeremy Scott Bart Simpson-ified sweater. She even has the matching skirt! Alexa Chung (above right), queen of the quirks, snapped up one of the J.W Anderson bat motif knits for Topshop. From Paul and Joe’s AW12 tropical-tiger print (below left), to Topshop Unique’s sell-out, cross-embellished sweater (below right), modeled here…
