Looks of the Week: Luella - Autumn/Winter 2007

Luella is one of those designers that has this signature look. I cannot describe it. I have followed what she has designed for a while now and it is quirky and refreshing. I like how her clothes have punch and attitude. My favourite is the first one: it looks like it has been blasted with glossy black paint and capped off with shiny tights.

Sugar Kane

Christopher Kane might as well be a buzz word for Google judging from how famous he has become. His Spring 2007 collection had some people salivating -- is the hype justified?

Here are some looks from the Autumn/Winter 2008 collection in the first row and the second row are my personal favourites from his much-loved Spring 2007

Which one is your favourite? The Autumn collection looks like a gorgeous mish-mash of black dipped with other almost gaudy influences. I personally would not wear them because I don't think they would suit me but the look is really captivating. The electric orange and that subtlely fantastic dark dress from the spring group would make anyone want to put CCTV surveillance in a warderobe. He is trying something different with dresses and that is what we need: dresses need to look original and different.

Apparently he is rejuvenating the London fashion week scene. I don't think it ever went anywhere but I am glad he is putting it on the map. Let's see how far he goes -- is he the new McQueen?

Christopher Kane however is not a fan of Victoria Beckham aka Posh who Christopher Kane does not want to wear his clothes! I am liking how he is going about things: he obviously has a set plan and does not curb his tongue for anyone. In that same article, Kane notes "I don't want to sound presumptuous but I've worked too hard for my stuff to be seen on the front of the Sun newspaper," . From this quotation, I think Kane wants to centre his work to be more of one-of-a-kind as opposed to being a uniform.
