Billie's LV critters...

British artist Billie Achilleos has been commissioned to create sculptures made from Louis Vuitton leather goods with an Australian theme, just in time for the opening of the Sydney Maison, thus we have -  the koala, kangaroo and crocodile! This incredible young artist has her fingers in many pies - opera, theatre, film, window displays and of course LV!

Iconic fashion...

"Fashion fades, only style remains the same" Coco Chanel
These illustrations by artist Sandra Suy appeared in the Chinese publication Rouge. They depict iconic women of style wearing fall's classic designs - forever fashionable - the perfect modern makeover!

Bare essentials...

Minimal make-up appeared on the runways for SS12, which is quite a coincidence as I have been in Bali, swimming, lazing in the sun and sipping cocktails! This trend begins at its most basic with a pristine complexion, so my must haves are a tinted moisturiser with an SPF, along with a good cream concealer, a groomed brow, mascara, blusher and a gloss or matte lip - it's that easy. Here are some looks to inspire...
