Heels for a great cause
The fashion community (or rather killer heels lovers) have come together to support a great cause. Jimmy Choo and Elton John AIDS Foundation have launched a photo competition to support the launch of Project PEP, a charity collection that donates 25% of sales to the Simelela Rape Centre in South Africa.
The theme of the photo competition is ‘You, Your Shoes and 72’ and the entries have been really fresh and fashion-forward.
One of my favourite entry, a vivid sketch of a graffiti heel.
Do view more interesting entries at www.jimmychoo72.com, the entries are really diverse and unique. Collaboration of high fashion labels with welfare organizations has been fashionable of late, yet I really hope it will never go out of trend.

Black hells, mirror ball and leopard prints, an oddly beautiful combination

Vivid spiked pink shoes
Jimmy Choos... a gorgeous timepiece.

Spotlight on Israel: FOX
Many may not have heard of FOX fashion, but it is already spreading its wings of fame in many Asian and Middle Eastern countries. One glance at these pictures of Bar Rafaeli and you may think it is just another European fashion retail chain. What you may not know is that FOX is a brainchild of Israel. It may not be the first store to jump on the trendy bandwagon, instead clothes at FOX are more snug than trendy, and more fun than sophisticated. Happy clothes I would call it - with Disney hoodies, hiphop-worthy cargo pants and bright-coloured sweaters. FOX's signature style include bold patterned tanks and tube tops, and pieces with bold embellishment such as a sequinned clown and camisoles with ruffles and laces.
This Fall, FOX presents their collection in 3 key ranges- Active, Urban and Limited Edition. The Urban Fusion collection will feature vintage-syle tees ready to bring all fashion lovers into a world of nostalgic and funfilled childhood. Whereas "Limited edition" will satisfy the needs of the youthful, with quirky use of plastic prints in bright colors, shiny plastic buttons and pins, prints of cartoons and graphics. Memorable pieces include a cute flippy skirt with black heart buttons.
Be sure to check out the newest collection in stores.

Spotlight on Brit: Topshop fall 09
Topshop has brought in fresh new ideas this fall, with clothing separated into 4 themes.
Manhattan Dolls
Marianne
The collection takes inspiration from 70s groupies and has a vintage glamour feel. Luxurious fabrics are given an antique finish; together with heavily sequinned and knitted embellishment. Sequined dresses, harem trousers and high waist knickers are made high street with oversized cardigans, Extravagant mink boleros and lush velvet jackets are made a staple for winter too.
Everything here comes ragged, ripped or highly distressed. The looks make the models appear as though they just emerged from a horror mansion infested with cobwebs in a haute manner. The recurring motif of bloody red font is printed on blazers and woolly jumpers. Interesting touches include cobweb-like lace and lattice panels. Victorian nightwear is reworked and appears in ivory colored blouses, bed jackets and corsets. There are delicate pieces alongside tough denim jackets, and jeans are slashed or bleached while leather is distressed. Studs and eyelets toughen the look further adorning jeans and fitted jackets, and knits appear moth-eaten.
Manhattan Dolls
Think looks ideal for razzle-dazzle cocktail parties and discoes. Inspired by 80s power-dressing and cocktail party glamour, Manhattan Dolls emphasizes exaggerated shapes and show-stopping colours. Body con dresses are ignited by shoulder-padded glittery tuxedos, the dressy will love their sparkling minis and sequined separates.

Highland Fling
As the theme explains, the clothes boost a traditional Scottish vibe and English eccentric; classic tartans, antique fleurs and oversized checks. Luxurious knitwear has an heirloom quality, ready to be thrown on for any tea party in the jardin. There are also military-inspired coats with cute accents such as gold brass buttons. Tough leather boots top off the entire lookbook, together with bright knitted hats and scarves.

Spotlight on spain III: Bershka
Bershka is knocking on the doorstep of sunny South East Asia, with its first store at no where else but sunny Singapore! I first heard about Bershka on lookbook.nu, where nearly all the wonderful Spaniard's outfits had something Bershka in it. Not much info on Bershka's fall 09/10 collection is released on the web, and here are some sneak peeks of the catalog.
Everyone loves plaid. I don't think it is a trend, it is a style.

Spotlight on spain: PULLANDBEAR
Take flight with Pull & Bear this season.
Inspired by aviation, together with the follies of youth, the fall collection is a harmonious balance between the classical country and the hip. The campaign reveals a story of a journey through aviation and a dream to take flighy in the rustic European countryside.
Studded tanks, slouchy plaid shirts, denim shirt and jackets may sound all too familiar to the high street fashionista, yet Pull & Bear's creation make shoppers more mad about plaid and gaga over studs. Do visit their stores to see it to believe it. ( ION orchard has a new branch that isn't too crowded even on Sat evenings)
Here are my top picks from this collection:
A wordy and totally worth-it tote bag priced at S$39.90
All over studs tank, S$39.90
This tee is plain cuteness. Rabbit tee, S$17.90
This will be my favourite denim jacket this season, lightly bleached to perfection.
