High Fashion on the High Street

If your life is a runway and the pavements you strut down are a catwalk here are some high street high fashion notes i have taken for ss09...

Balmain ss09
For Balmain ripped jeans go to Bershka or Zara TRF - or of course just dye and rip a pair of old jeans that need revamping (a flashback of the days of customised denim slowly comes back to me!)

Louis Vuitton ss09





Topshop Pegasus £120




For the ethnic look and style seen on the Louis Vuitton catwalk go to Topshop for prints and ethnic sandals and Zara for tailored high waisted trousers .
Gucci ss09

For Naval and Classic looks (flood length, cropped and high waisted trousers) seen on the Alberta Ferretti and Gucci catwalks ss09 head to Zara and Hennes.
For the Blue and Red colour contrast seen on the Gucci catwalk head to Hennes who have skinny trousers and jeans which pay homage to the Gucci trend.
For cropped, flood length and high waisted trousers go to Hennes (i just bought a pair in the sale for £10 - previously i bought two pairs at £25 each). Zara also have a good variety of trousers.

For vintage looks, playsuits and jumpsuits which have been seen on most catwalks this season go to Miss Selfridges, ASOS and Boohoo.com. Dorothy Perkins have a mushroom coloured jumpsuit which has been featured on numerous style pages of the glossies and is similar to those seen in Derek Lam's ss09 collection AND has just gone down from £40 to £20 (good luck finding smaller sizes - trust me - i tried!!)

Derek Lam ss09


For fluid new concept denim as seen on Louis Vuitton ss09 go to Zara or check out Kuyichi jeans at ASOS (which i would buy one size bigger just to add length and volume - don't worry about the waist line - a huge belt will do the trick and make your waist look tiny!)

For optical and animal prints without the tack go to to Zara, New Look or Topshop.


Zac Posen ss09

For body con, brights and colour blocking go to topshop.

Salvatore Ferragamo ss09

For skirts draped, bubble hemmed and lanterned shaped - Hennes, Topshop and River Island.
(Skirts must have a SHAPE).

This is just the beginning - a girl is never dressed without accessories...
