"See her in the green dress?"

According to a source close to the Arctic Monkeys, their next album is set to a 60's vibe. Where did this musical insight come from? Alexa Chung apparently. The source says that Alexa informed lead singer Alex Turner (and also her current beau) about the upcoming fashion 60's trend.
Although fashion and music have for quite sometime been connected, is the new trend to forecast your upcoming album to the new trends? I sure hope not.
This being (allegedly) true however for the Arctic Monkeys, I think I might just have to purchase something to bask in their amazing tunes. Perhaps the T-Bags jersey mini dress, $216
Or, the T-Bags jersey maxi dress, $215

Perhaps a 60's inspration wont be all that bad...

I'M BACK!

Apologies for the past few weeks of my M.I.A blog. A huge load of studying was done, and now that midterms are over, I have plenty of time to blog.

As for fashion, F/W 2008 will be bypassed this year. However, I might do a very brief re-cap sometime this week.

As for this posts topic, let's talk about Karlie Kloss.

For the past year, she has graced Teen Vogue quite regularly, and even landing a cover on the February 2008 edition alongside Chanel Iman and Ali Michaels. This season however, has truly brought the model from a young model in Teen Vogue, into the big league.

At first glance at this photo:

I immediately thought "Wow. She was MADE to walk for Calvin Klein.

Needless to say, Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa really ruined his one and only when he threw her in a really depressingly black and blue high waisted skirt and tube top outfit:

I'll resist mentioning the horrid hairstyle, but you have eyes and can see.

However, other designers really took notice of her. It's hard to believe she is only 15 years old. When I was 15, I was still watching Teletoon and Rooney was on heavy rotation on my portable CD player.

Karlie Kloss aside, if I could have either of the following dresses from Benhaz Sarafpour's f/w 2008 collection, I think my life would be complete.

Of course, taking a cue from Proenza Schouler's f/w 2008 collection, I would pair either of the two with plum tights and the following Alexander McQueen striped pumps ($805)

And while we are at it, let's finish off the look with this gorgeous orange short trench from DKNY f/w 2008

Now THAT is an outfit suitable for f/w 2008!

For the record, as a follow-up from my last post on Reid Kastyn, she landed just one f/w 2008 runway show, with Sue Stemp.
