Gatsby fash

Miuccia has reworked 40 dresses from the Prada and Miu Miu archived collections to create wonderful and deffo 20's esque costumes for the Summer 13 release film, the Great Gatsby. Miuccia collab'd with the films head of wardrobe Catherine Martin who is also the wife of the film's director, Baz Luhrmann - on the too cute flapper dresses worn by the actresses throughout the movie.

This news is coupled with the announcement that Tiffany & Co has provided all the jewellery!

Well, this fashion paradise only adds to my absolute NEED to see the film, and also that I wished that I was a part of it, those freebies would be absolutely o die for I must say. Anyhow, the film wi be released in July 2013 not this christmas as originally thought. It's a must see, I've read (and studied) the book, so I know that it will be absolutely faaaaabulous, darling.

clever you katie

at a recent party, Brian cox - yanno the happy smiley guy on TV who is also insanely clever and used to be in a band as well? Well apparently him and Kate were talking quantum physics at a party the other week and she was asking some really detailed questions about the universe and stuff and Brian cox said she really knew her stuff!! Wow mossy I am totes impressed by not only your face and everything but also the whacking brain she was hiding. Also apparently she was asking questions from her daughter, Lila Grace that were pretty complex too! On another note, those who follow me on twitter (@esmeejay) will have seen my continuous tweeting during the opening ceremony. It wasn't very varied, I'll give you that, because most of it was me screaming about THE FUCKING SPICE GIRLS and also TGE FUCKING SUPERMODELS ON THEIR LORRYS AAAAAAH OMG IT WAS SO SICK. Well, anyways, wasn't it awesome? Well done Britain huh. xo

mischa doesn't just do bags, she does fashion too xo

Sooo barton is opening her first boutique today! (the launch day is on the 11th) and this is all after her super successful bag label which is now running its 9th season! Woooooo. So joining these bags will be her cosmetics and her clothes. Ahh so much mischa in one place! Its all based around her own look, but she has said that its super important that it's not all top market stuff, with the prices ranging from £25 to £250 and everything is workable for any age group! It sounds pretty perf doesn't it? She's made quite certain that the clothes are not just for mischa Barton über fans yanno? With loads of stuff you may not necessarily see on we but still looks hot on other people!

In terms of affordability she said : "I don't think my fans are going out and buying £2,000 bags," she said. "It has to be accessible. I like the idea of making really cool things that are actually available to people."

Soo if you're around on the 11th then be sure to pop in to the Mischa Barton Boutique, situated in spitalfields, where you can meet the star, get 10% off and most important get a free glass of celebration champagne!

bye italy! love, miuccia

well miuccia prada has suggested that she feels Italy is loosing its title as one of the main fashion capitals. Cray? I'm not sure, but this is what she said: "With the sale of our luxury labels to foreigners, our entire system risks falling into second league," she said. "If our brands cross the borders, the credit, glamour, fame and decision-making is in the hands of others and we are abandoned, downgraded." she feels that because so many labels are selling themselves out nowadays, the historic link between fashion and Italy is fading!!!! Not only this, but you find that designers are leaving to places where they can further their careers, as Italy isn't working anymore. Just look at Raf Simons, the Belgian designer that recently left Jil Sanders to work at Dior! (although the founder of JS was German, they've been based in italia since 1985 and show at Milan fash week) but Miu Miu is one to talk! She went and showed her Miu Miu collection in Paris, not Italy as she wanted to showcase her collection somewhere glamorous, and states that Italy's government doesn't appreciate fashion, and thinks it frivolous. Which it deffo isn't!! Ooooooh well fashions just got political...
