L'art de la mode

Hi lovelies, hope you all had a spectacular Christmas and New Year. 2015 holds a lot of opportunities for me and it is very exciting indeed.
 Anyway, enough babbling on today I discovered a fantastic up and coming magazine called, Mess. A distinctive magazine, involving streamlined fashion and culture with involvement from artistic upcoming photographers, writers and stylists. All this makes the magazine not only exciting but fresh, it is bringing something new which holds something so beautiful - unzipping a whole new world of fashion.
The editorials of the magazine are brilliant, each article becomes undeniably higher quality, bringing something more quirky and fresh. I can only describe Mess magazine as progressive but i find that intriguing and is why i have taken such a liking to it.
Already the magazine has featured iconic designers such as, Alexandra McQueen, Alexandra Wang and Kenzo - showing the recognition for Mess magazine - unzipping a whole new world of fashion and culture is truly exciting for all readers. I am already hooked!

Hello my lovelies, once again it is another new month - I can't believe how quickly this year has gone it has flown by! Anyway enough rambling on; Topshop, we have all heard of Topshop how could we not. It is the biggest high street designer and it always spread across magazines.
Topshop was founded in 1964 as Peter Robinson's Top Shop, a youth fashion brand within the Sheffield branch of Peter Robinson, a new defunct British department store range. Topshop had its first opening of a stand alone store in 1970, Topman was a spin off brand created to cater for men. It was so successful that it is now run as a separate chain although you still may find some stores are co-located. Over the years Topshop has done extremely well; it is the first high street retail store to appear in London Fashion Week and their clothes has been wore by many celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Kate Moss - who in fact has her own collection called 'Kate Moss x Topshop'. Her clothing range is effortless but also makes a statement which lives up to expectations of Topshop; their clothes are simple and versatile as they can be styled into anything to suit that individual person this is one of the reasons why Topshop is so popular.

Hello all, hope everything is well; today Cornwall was surprisingly sunny which was brilliant! Recently i expressed my love for fashion, now i will be expressing my love for i-D magazine. The British magazine was found by a former Vogue (another FANTASTIC magazine) art director Terry Jones in the 1980s. Personally what i love about i-D is not only does it dedicate itself to fashion it expands and dedicates itself to everything linked to fashion such as, art, music and youth culture. I find that the magazine is so popular because it has 'a bit of everything' which people have an interest in. i-D magazine has evolved over the years into a 'mature' glossy magazine but still has retained street style which is loved by its readers.

The magazine is well known for inventing The Straight up which is a documentary style of photography pioneered by Terry Jones. The Straight up is a West country expression meaning "tell it as it is" portraying the unexpected photographs of which i-D would pick people out from the street and it would follow by a Q&A. The winky smile, as soon as we see the winky smile most people instantly think of i-D. If its not winking then a streak of the models hair or a prop is their to cover one of the eyes. It creates such a unique branch of their magazine which makes their magazine so recognizable and individual.
