The final of Wimbledon yesterday was just as explosive as any, even though there was no Andy Murray. I was sitting with a takeway and staring at the tv, trying not to look away which resulted in rogue bean sprouts jumping on to the floor. 14-16 does equal an amazing set. But anyhoo, I'm wanting to comment about Roger Federer's personalized clothing. The fancy lettering and edges in gold, the colour of champions. It all seems a little... "look at me, I'm so amazing", to be fair, he is allowed to boast a little. And when Nike gives you stuff for free, why not?

Graduate Fashion Week
As we all know, Graduate Fashion Week 2009 was not that long ago. The shows were filled with glitter, paper-thin fabrics thats even cut like chinese paper art, tassles, and an assortment of colours. The celebs who appeared were Claudia Schiffer, Zandra Rhodes, Matthew Williamson etc. The winner of the River Island Gold Award was Myrto Samou for her elegant collection designed in neutral tones. I plucked some outfits which I find very pretty: Katie Hemingway, Stephanie Bell, Tamara Stevens.

Back to black
Since the first LBD was designed by genius madam Chanel, LBDs have been a must have garment in most designers' collections. Ever since then, black has been the most classy colour for women to wear. But I actually personally dont like wearing black much(my old school uniform annoyed me very much).
I had to do a project on LBDs lately and found that there's actually quite alot you can do with black dresses even though my dress did turn out slightly on the -there-a-safety-pin-still-sticking-out-the-back- side. If the little black dress has beautiful elements on it then it will be beautiful.
On the catwalks this season, there are many gorgeous LBDs. The main silhouettes I saw were feminine and clean. There's much light, floaty, shiny and lacy fabrics. Surface decorations are beautiful and just the right amount. There is also ruffles which of course is a bonus. The romantic goth trend seemed to have been toned down a little bit though. For modern little black dresses, check out Alexander Wang, Marios Schwab, Erin Fetherston, Stella McCartney and for drama there's Gareth Pugh! I have selected a few of my favourite LBDs: Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Erin Fetherston which are in the pictures above.
