Shot of the Day

Emily Baker (DNA) closing Oscar De La Renta (oh, and she opened too). I love the way the dress moves so Emily almost looks like she's running:

Best of the Show Packages

Elite Models NY Front Cover
Now that I'm officially a graduate (eeek!), I find myself focusing just a little more intently on fashion week, in particular the preliminary buzz around the new faces (which I usually picked up towards the end of NYFW). I found myself on the ever brilliant models.com and finally had time to look through the show packages, and I can't believe I left it so long! The creativity, wit and style have gone into the images - Ford Models was a particular favourite of mine - makes it worth spending some time with show packages, if for no other reason to pick out your top 10 of the season.

Karmen Pedaru @ Ford Models.

Taylor Nicole @ Next (in what will be her first full season).

My favourite model in years, Aymeline @ Women Direct

Anais @ Trump.

Blanca @Ford.

This may seem a little Ford-centric, but I'm so impressed with their showcards and their board. So here's one more:

Brenda Kranz @ Ford (spot her in Vogue Italia September.)

An Olsen megapost

How do they do it? They stand at a nose over 5ft 1 and still manage to layer perfectly without drowning in fabric. I imagine it's the years of practice, but they've got this down to a fine art. I love how their outfits seem almost coordinated, and this looks like an editorial shot to me. Mary Kate's trousers are a perfect fit, and I love the simple white shirt Ashley has on. They are by far the most interesting celebrities to to me, both in terms of style and personality.
I often browse over at my-wardrobe.com to the Elizabeth & James department because it reminds me of the the twins used to dress, whilst The Row is how they dress right now. It makes a perfect mix for fans too. My two favorites were:


Brocade James Blazer & June Silk Blouse

Although The Row remains my personal favourite, and serves as a strong point of inspiration for fall:


Celebrity aside, it's amazing to think these girls are only 24 and producing clothes like this, I can't wait for fashion week to roll round and see what they produce next.

I remember so vividly when this video came out in 2007, and being amazed at how they produced such stunning basics:


Oh, and need advice on how to get the Olsen's look? Head over to the My Wardobe Facebook page every thursday between 3 & 4pm to visit their style surgery, and get direct advice from their wonderful team of experts.

Mulberry for...Party dresses?

I've never really been a fan of Mulberry, all the bags look the same and everyone has one. They're just too British and conservative, yet I've noticed some great party dresses in the Fall 10 collection, and they've been popping up on not some conservative lovelies like Liv Tyler, Leighton Meester, Olivia Palermo & Jessica Stroup.



It still needs some refining but somehow these looks make the brand feel a little less stuffy, and of course Mulberry produced perhaps the most fun and charming campaign of the season:




This campaign has explored the more whimsical and fun side of British fashion and it makes it such a stand out campaign, shot by Steven Meisel and starring Abbey Lee and Hanne. The brand seems to be going in an interesting direction and aiming for much bigger things rather than 'just an It bag' company.

The show goes on...

I can't seem too work up too much enthusiasm about the New York shows right now, I'm not sure, but there seems to be a long shadow cast over proceedings. There has still been some beautiful shows, and I found myself with some unexpected show choices. Alexander Wang was once again such a disappointment, but there's still been some wonderful shows with such perfect layering and a beautiful dark colour palette.

Cushnie Et Ochs
I'm linking to this brand because it is such a new brand, it's a label created by two women and their Fall 10 show had such a perfect mood about it, the mixing of fabrics and the ponyskin boots are wonderful.


Doo Ri
Does this show ever let down? Such a laid back look but with polished fabrics and perfect draping.


Richard Chai Love
I really love the way this show is styled, there's a lot going on but it doesn't seem to overpower the models. The odd sequin fabric or fur thrown in really breaks it up. That strong red lip is divine too, especially for such a grungey mood in the clothes.

Here comes Fashion Week

With New York Fashion Week starting today and London Fashion Week starting in a week (!) I found myself looking through my S/S 10 Backstage pictures, and found this shot that perfectly sums up everything about the backstage madness. This was shot at Issa about half an hour before the show kicked off, and all the photographers standing on make up chairs are trying to get a shot of Ms. Naomi Campbell herself. I can't wait to be back there again, model spotting and viewing all the clothes before they hit the runway. I'm going to keep Between Every Line updated as frequently as possible as I get the best model shots and share them here. Bring on the clothes!

Kissy Kissy at Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti

I couldn't not share these closing looks from Philosophy. Can't you just imagine them in a Teen Vogue Valentines day shoot featuring the cutest new models frolicking in Central Park?

Karmen Pedaru

It's always quite something when a model you haven't previously noticed suddenly becomes the most memorable model for you thus far at NYFW.
