Kanye West graces the cover of the winter issue of I-D magazine, shot by Fabien Montique.
I have a love hate relationship to Kanye West, and it's not due to the VMA incident. (no Taylor Swift did NOT deserve to win the VMA  Awards) 
I love his music but hate to hear him talk yet I am dying to read what he says in the magazine

Swedish brand Odeur fabulous S/S 11 collection aptly titled 'Where The Shimmer Lies' is a lesson to be learned by all in unisex clothing, and how gender can truly be styled!.
The collection triumph lies in the details of metallic copper that prevails throughout the collection either in zip details or as the thread the keeps the pieces together.

I meet co-founder Gorjan whilst I was in Stockholm for Fashion Week who told me S/S 11 was would elevate the brand to their next level and it truly has.

Shoe Porn

These puppies came to my attention as I browsed through the Selfridges & Co  website, postponing my workload.
Entitled the Fanta sandal (thank god they're not orange), and available exclusively on Selfridges, it's the modern sandal of every CHIC womans dream.

Armani seems to be a label in the midst of a major reinvention of sorts.
Mr Armani and his team seem greatly inspired by the Lady GaGa collaboration/sponsorship of the past year and has injected some much needed youth into S/S 2010.

The menswear is looking especially fabulous with some gorgeous black leather sandals for the modern metrosexual and some leggings-esque trousers that have my name all over them.
Can't wait until I have a shoot to use the menswear in.



Armani's fabulous menswear collection

The Cut reported yesterday that Vogue UK is having a redesign, set to debut in March 2011.
I have been saying for the longest time that both UK & US Vogue are in dire need of a revamp, as they are both miles behind the directional and influence of Vogue Paris and many of its Asian editions are making a strong impact world wide.
According to the Independent, Alexandra Shulman has stated that the redesign is to make the British style bible "to look less rigid,".
 Elle UK had a very successful make over a few years back, perhaps this is the chance for Vogue UK to reclaim it's position.

Have a look at some of the less inspiring covers of the magazine in the past years.
What do you think?

What a difference a month makes!, Harper's Bazaar offers a stunning cover shot of the super suuuper model / mother /woman of the year Natalia Vodianova, styled by editor of 10 magazine, Sophie Neophitou-Apostulou.
There is no comparing last months unfortunate Renee Zellwegger cover to ms Vodianova's supermodel charm.
