You may think this sounds ludicrous, however it in fact is very true, slouching at your desk in fact causes the muscles in your neck to shorten, which will in fact cause the face to droop slightly.

The rumours of such collaboration have been flying around for sometime now but they have officially now been confirmed true and that the women’s and men’s collections will be in stores from November.

We all can’t wait to see how Lanvin’s luxury creations will interpret onto the high street; we only have a few months to wait however.

Lanvin’s artistic director, the infamous Alber Elbaz has reportedly stated that in the past he would never have dreamed of creating a mass-market collection, but the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public is what finally intrigued him to do so.

This has been an outstanding implementation, which shows how two companies at opposite ends of the spectrum can work really well together. This work relationship is said to be so strong due to the fact both names share the same philosophy of transporting both joy and beauty to men and women around the world.

The collections will initially be revealed on 2nd of November and then appear in stores on 23rd of November. You better get this date noted down in your diaries promptly as we can only imagine customers will be queuing from the early hours!

Julia Restoin Roitfield shares her style secrets and what it’s like to work with Tom Ford.

Designers left, right and centre have this season been throwing free clothes at the Art Director, Julia Restoin Roitfield, and this courtship may however have something to do with Julia being the daughter of the much-loved French fashion editor, Carine Roitfield and Christian Restoin, the former owner of the label Equipment.

Growing up in such a fashion forward environment is one of the reasons Julia is so intrigued by both creativity in the design and fashion world and possibly why she decided to begin a career in such a creative industry.

Julia spends most of her time in either Paris or New York, both places are extreme fashion capitals and also the reason why the Art Director and model has an adopted such a cultivated and signature style.
One of the art director’s and model’s proudest moments is said to be starring as Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which has been described as the ‘Ford flotilla’ of fragrance and cosmetics initiatives.

Julia appears in the full-colour campaign images, which were photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Roitfeld is showcases striking glossy long locks, dramatic red nails and matching lips.

Every now and then an existing brand introduces a new collection that creates a bit of a stir, one that we all want to shout about!  One such label this season goes under the name of Superdry.  The of the moment brand initially launched their line back in 2003, the inspiration for the label was taken from a previous trip to the exciting city of Tokyo.  The brands creator, Julian Dunkerton began selling a few individual items on a market street stall in Cheltenham, teaming up with James Holden who is the founder of the renowned skater label Bench.

In just a period of seven years, the label has grown phenomenally and is now a firm favourite of many celebs.  This is pretty impressive since Superdry started their career with a total of only three t-shirts and has now gained cult status!  The range now boasts to release a total of three thousand pieces a year.

The label is now globally recognised and pieces in the collection have recently been seen adorning the likes of the singer Pixie Lott, the actress Kate Winslet, the footballer David Beckham, the chef Jamie Oliver, the actor Leonardo Dicaprio and the suprmodel Helena Chritensen.

Current favourites in the collection include chunky belted cardigans, quilted winter boots, vintage thrift pieces, the statement infamous Superdry logo tee, the standard checked boyfriend shirt and of course the denim, available as both hotpants and distressed jeans.  One of the must have pieces for next season is the jacket, which comes in the shape of a cool leather belted biker style that will most certainly be on every fashionista Christmas wish list!
