Street style alive: blowing in the wind

A mix of studded leather and floating sheer doesn’t just join toughness and femininity together in wedded bliss, it also makes for a billowy vision against the Paris wind. Against the bustle going on outside the Dior showing at Paris fashion week, Fashionising.com’s Allan Barger snapped this outfit which you can view in animated form after the break.

Alpha60′s new chapter of refinement

There’s an expectation of something mildly alternative, of the dark and potentially edgy, that comes with the Alpha60 name. Choosing to host their LMFF (L’Oreal Melbourne fashion festival) parade in Chapter Lane, the laneway that conveniently borders both their Flinders Lane store and St Paul’s Cathedral, couldn’t have been more apt. But this wasn’t a collection marked by gothicism, even as it marched the stone …

5 to buy: the perspex heel

Delicately engraved and diamante studded in the 50s, filled with fish and bravado in the 70s, championed by strippers in the 90s – the lucite heel has a past more colourful than many of its incarnations, but the new breed will inject a bit of fun into your footwork. From crystal clear slippers for the modern Cinderella at 3.1 Phillip Lim to Stella McCartney’s raspberry …

Bat shoes at Issey Miyake

They could be the kind of footwear you’d find on the feet of Morticia Addams, or some Tim Burton heroine. There’s an inkling of the famed bat symbol that calls the world’s darkest superhero to action. Whatever they make you think of, these shoes – spotted outside Issey Miyake’s show at Paris fashion week – have an undeniably Gothic allure.

Dark beauty: Interview with McQueen’s Sarah Burton

“There’ll always be a McQueen woman. She is a strong woman and she is a powerful woman, and when she puts a McQueen jacket on, she feels different. The way she stands is different.

Black, white, and minimal: Cara Delevingne

Sleek cuts, minimal details, sharp shapes and blocks of monochrome hues: put these attributes together and you have a style synonymous with Calvin Klein circa 1990s. It’s a style that serves just as well today, a fact this shoot starring Cara Delevingne leaves no doubt of. Closely interlinked with the current incarnation of sporty fashion, the sharpest and sexiest way to wear the look now …

The Spirit of the Black Dress lives on

Say what you want about the black dress, but you can’t deny the importance it holds. It’s entry into the English language as the black dress is a dead giveaway: how many other items of clothing hold that status? The black dress is, collectively, an institution.
