First Look: Patricia Field for M&S
We could hardly contain our excitement when, back in May at the height of the SATC movie fever, M&S announced that they had persuaded costume designer Patricia Field to create an exclusive collection for them. The range is set to hit stores next month, but we've been given a first look at some of the pieces - and we can share them with you.
Field, best known for creating the much lusted after wardrobe of Carrie Bradshaw and friends, has produced a range every bit as glamorous and individual as you might expect, distilling her very own brand of New York cool into something effortlessly wearable - and right on trend for the coming season. We love the classic bronze shift, guaranteed to be a wardrobe classic for seasons to come, and as the LBD is an autumn essential we predict that the black fitted dress will be flying off the shelves.
The range marks the first time that high street giant M&S have worked with a guest designer and judging from our sneak preview we're sure that shoppers will be clamouring for more. If you want to see the rest of the collection then head into your nearest M&S store or visit their online shop at the beginning of October when the clothes and accessories will be hiiting the rails.
FIRST LOOK: JONATHAN SAUNDERS FOR TARGET
Cheap clothes? Check. Great design? Check. Maybe we should write a thank you note.
Just in time to face the September runways, it's a new superhero of cheap and chic:
Meet Jonathan Saunders, the British wunderkind who's hit American shores to partner with Target next month.
The designer famous for his innovative prints and slim, hugging cuts retails for thousands in Europe and America, but thanks to his recent partnership with Tarjay, getting his looks is suddenly a much more manageable ordeal.
Our favorites include the piped blazer, the explosion of prints on a buttoned dress and blouse, and some color block tunics that revive the Mondrian obsession lived last season by Diane Von Furstenberg and inspired by old-school YSL.
The clothes hit Target stores and online in October. But that doesn't mean you can't start fantasizing now.

First Look: Rebecca Taylor's Spring '09 Collection
With Fashion Week right around the corner, excitement over what the designers have in store for spring is boiling over. Rebecca Taylor's signature romantic, ultra-femme aesthetic has made her a favorite of celebrities and fashion-lovers alike. Her Spring 2009 collection stays true to her winning formula but introduces some new concepts that fans will definitely embrace with open arms. Inspired by the global traveler, flowers from her home garden, and ethnic prints with a feminine twist, this collection brings mixed tops and dresses, light weight cashmere cardigans, and versatile bohemian beaded pieces that will transition seamlessly from day to night. "The Rebecca Taylor girl for Spring 2009 is a bohemian world traveler," Rebecca describes, "she mixes her inherited couture pieces from her French actress mother with great finds gathered from exotic locations around the globe."Saying I'm excited to see her innovative vision come to life on the runway is a MAJOR understatement!!
First Look: Kate Moss: Gold Sculpture
A first glimpse of the solid gold sculpture of Kate Moss has been revealed.The statue is bound for an exhibition at the British Museum in October, and has been designed by Marc Quinn.
Valued at £1.5m, the statue is the latest in a series by Quinn, who has also created a likeness of the supermodel in plaster. Named Siren, the gold sculpture is believed to be the largest of its kind since ancient Egyptian times.
"I thought the next thing to do would be to make a sculpture of the person who's the ideal beauty of the moment. But even Kate Moss doesn't live up to the image," said Quinn of his famous subject.
The sculpture will go on display at the British Museum from October 4th to January 25th as part of its 'Statuephilia' exhibition. It will also be the focus on a Channel 4 documentary The Sculpture Diaries to be screened in the autumn.
First Look: Kanye West: Pastelle
While Kanye West has long been considered a style icon, the fashion world eagerly anticipates Kanye’s own aesthetic in the upcoming launch of his own brand Pastelle. A preview recently surfaced in VMAN as a star studded cast including Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco model upcoming pieces from the Pastelle collection. With accomplished designer Kim Jones (formerly of Umbro by Kim Jones) at the helm, the final product should arguably be another success for Kanye West.
First Look: Dita Von Teese for Wonderbra
The limited edition 'Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese' collection will hit stores across Europe on September 23rd, and features three sets - Multi-Teese, Spot-Teese (left) and Satin-Teese(right)
Dita herself has said of the collection, "I am very proud of the lingerie that I've created for Wonderbra, because it has all the beautiful detail of sexy, sensual and glamorous lingerie, but the fit is perfect to wear under your everyday clothes. I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath. Lingerie shouldn't be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you. It's not about seducing men, it's about embracing womanhood."
That said, the 'Multi-Teese' set has a magnetic closure, meaning you can look to Dita's burlesque roots and perform a striptease with ease. Kinky!
For more info see http://www.catwalkqueen.tv/2008/08/www.wonderbra.co.uk/dita. On 15th September, that website will feature a video of Dita that apparently shows her 'as we've never seen her before'.
H&M: First Look: Comme Des Garcons
Comme des Garcons at H&M first look was on paper now we got it on models,
Try to ignore the sticky, un-showered appeal of the models to really take in the clothes. It's kind of what we expected (deconstructed jackets with Peter Pan collars anyway, the huge statement coat) and yet, not (the pleated skirt, the micro-dotted button down).
We should point out that this lookbook doesn't include the accessories - but we're betting it might be like one big black bag, and one small one.
We can already tell this line may not sell so amazingly at H&M as, say, Stella did, regardless of the Rei name. Most of the pieces can easily be worn by boys or girls, which is great.
