Designer to watch - Alexander Wang

Taking the fashion world by storm is 25 year old Alexander Wang. Graduating from New York's prestigious Parson's the new school of design, and winning the council of fashion Designers in America as the CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award winner. Wang is known for his edgy somewhat masculine and androgynes womenswear designs. Wang is also known for using colours that reflect the city that he lives in - New York.

obsession du jour - Model Lara Stone

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GIRL!

she has been credited as the model of the moment, and has been commended for her hourglass shape. Stone is Dutch but grew up in Paris. She was discovered at the age of 12 on the Metro. She looks to me like Kate Moss - without the emancipated figure. Stone has been voted Vogue's 'Girl of the year'. I love her fashion sense, she sticks to the super models uniform of black jeans/ leggings, loose tees, blazers, boots, but looks anything but ordinary. Stone is extrodiary looking, and i believe she is the new face of a trend of models about to appear. She may be the end the the size 0 model!
