New York based duo Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough, alias Proenza Schouler, are currently invading the net and magazines with a short film and their first advertisement campaign, both centred around their Fall/Winter 2010 collection which is a confirmation of their incredible talent. Showpieces include graffiti printed jeans, pleated skirts, baby-doll minidresses, leather, fur and amazing coats closed with frogs. The main colors are dark blue, purple, grey and of course black, many of which are mixed to create abstract patterns and edgy-sexy outfits.

This is what characterizes the first Proenza Schouler advertisement, which stars Tati Cotliar and Ann and Kirby Kenny wearing the must have pieces of the collection along with P.S.11, which is a new version of the famous...

This month's edition of the CNN show Revealed focuses on fashion demigods Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana as they mark the twentieth year of their all-conquering label. The show gives an insight into where the duo draw their inspiration from, how they spend their free time, and the dynamics of their enduring relationship as business partners and ex-lovers, as well as showing footage of the two preparing to show their Autumn/Winter 2010 collection.

Dolce & Gabbana clothing has become inextricably linked with glamour, fame and the red carpet, and the show also includes interviews with the likes of Rachel Weisz, Morgan Freeman and Claudia Schiffer, amongst other well-known figures from fashion and showbusiness.

According to the Chinese horoscope, once every 60 years Fire-Horses are born. They have all the attributes of a horse - strength, stamina, elegance, power - and these qualities are multiplied a hundred-fold by the element of fire. In ancient China, girls that were born under this sign were murdered because their ‘masculine’ attributes were considered a threat; some might well argue that is still the case today. Jez Eaton is a Fire-Horse.

After seeing the Trashion show at Brighton Fashion Week, we wanted to get to know the woman behind all those plastic bags and tampons. Jez came to talk to us about life, art, fashion, recycling and the importance of a sense of humour in the poker-faced fashion industry.

Fashion’s taken a rather unfashionable knock since the release of Sex And The City 2, arguably the most heinous film of the decade, which saw the art and soul of fashion being swallowed up by the worst kind of fashion ‘elite’, a crowd of gargoyles so repulsive as to make you want to join in with Brighton’s Naked Bike Ride just so you don’t have to wear clothes.

For us, the highlight of the entire event was, without a shadow of a doubt, the Trashion show. The location couldn’t have been more perfect; Brighton’s Corn Exchange, in the heart of the Pavilion Constituency, where the first and only Green MP, Caroline Lucas, was voted into office just weeks ago.

Now, we’ve all seen people make things out of junk and we’ve all thought ‘good for them, isn’t it great that they’re recycling.’ But have any of us actually bought much of it? Have any of us worn it? And we’re not talking about ‘vintage’, those five year old clothes from H and M with the labels cut out. No, we’re talking about crisp packets, condoms and dish cloths. The show had the air of a circus about it,...
