Lara Stone might have gotten most of the praise for this shoot, entitled “Stop Smoking”, but Jourdan Dunn smolders as well in i-D Fall 2010. Love that circle-stitched bra.

It’s Fall 2010, people! Time for me to somehow materialize a few extra $100k so I can buy Dior’s entire collection… le sigh.
I deliberately stay away from celebrity clothing lines for the simple reason that I believe that designers should gain notoriety based on actual artistic merit instead of social status. So many celebrity lines aren’t actually designed by the star(s) in question either, and such lines seem like their only focus is profit, and not breaking new ground.
Be that as it may, there are some standouts in the celebrity-cum-fashion-designer sphere, and Victoria Beckham, while not innovative per se, is one of them. The seaming on these pants is divine, and leaves me thinking ‘Damn, I wish I’d thought of that first!’

Natasha Poly in V Magazine, Fall 2010. While practical fashion is necessary, there’s something to be said for very beautiful and very unwearable clothing.

I’ve seen a lot of bad beading in my day, but the above embellishment is truly wonderful. The black pattern is simply crisp and neatly spaced on a clean ivory ground, making for an embellishment that is at once geometric and feminine. Gorgeous. Plus the lovely Laetetia Casta doesn’t hurt… She seems to be channeling Twin Peaks’ Audrey Horne in this shoot for T Magazine, Fall 2010.

This one’s been around awhile, but that fact doesn’t diminish its stop-you-in-your-tracks beauty. The styling, the model (Karlie Kloss), the hair, the clothing: it’s all perfect. Plus the whole Dior Fall/Winter 2010 collection is a marvel of apparel design and styling, using chiffon, high socks, Deco cuts, fishtail braids and leather to tell a beautiful story.

It seems rather precarious to have such delicate feathers perched atop a wardrobe element that’s worn so close to the ground. But that’s the appeal of couture, isn’t it? All practicality and reason is shunned and decadence reigns supreme.

This outfit breathes new life into the concept of the mini-crini. I’ve never seen one so sweetly pretty — I can only hope I see it on the street one day.
