London Calling: Fashion News from Across the Pond

We are excited to include the fashion observations of Grace A. to Fashion Club Daily. Grace is an adorable high school fashionista from one of the chicest cities in the world, London! She will be writing about her favorite subject from her home town. Take it away, Grace!



I went to see an exhibit in London called SHOWstudio. It was a collection of works from the SHOWstudio fashion website created by fashion photographer Nick Knight. It included collaborations with Gareth Pugh, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and advertising campaigns for brands such as Christian Dior, Lancome, Swarovski, and Yves Saint Laurent.

The show was loaded with creative and interesting pieces and it was really interactive. In the first room, you can design clothing for a giant statue of Naomi Campbell from a computer touch screen. You can even book tickets to see a live fashion photo-shoot. I spent over 2 hours there! It was amazing and I recommend it to everyone - whether you are interested in fashion or not. --Grace

Photos from 8th Annual Fashion for the Cure

Here are some photos from the 8th Annual Los Angeles County Affiliate Susan G. Komen Fashion for the Cure Benefit featuring the Diane von Furstenberg Collection.

Many were inspired by not only the colorful and delightful dresses and bathing suits from the DVF Cruise/Pre-Spring Collection shown at Smashbox studios in West Hollywood, but they were also inspired by those models who had fought the fight against cancer... and won. Many stood to give a standing ovation to those who definitely deserved to walk that runway.

Celebrities and fashion moguls all over Los Angeles gathered to place bids on silent auction items such as Hudson Jean, and splendid hotel get-aways. The auction was successful in raising money in order to find a cure for cancer.
