I loved so many of the clothes from this collection. Harriet’s Muse isn’t about trends – each collection they continue to develop their style and take it to the next level! Here are some of the looks from the show.
Craig Spellar & Cheryl Partington named this jacket the "Rebekah Jacket"! It’s the first time I’ve had something named after me how cool is that!!
Erika is also one of my favourite models – she’s just so much fun!!

This leather corset is so beautiful – I just know it’s going to be seen in a really cool editorial – what stylist could resist such a show piece!




So sexy!

These are some key looks from Karen Brost’s Spring Summer 09 collection titled Regal on the Riveria.
I think this biker inspired jacket is quite cool. Holly looks great in it and so did I, and I’m only 5′ 2". It’s always interesting to see how a garment fits, seeing it in print or on the cat walk is one thing and trying it on a real person can be totally different. Fortunately Karen designs for real women. I’ve also had my eye on the Kitty Cat dress too- it’s so cute! There is something very sexy about this collection the fabrics drape beautifully so you feel very feminine yet strong.

I love the lips. Rachel Wood used Frenched Red lipstick from Benefit and a ton of clear gloss!


Jan Przemyk headed the team from Toni & Guy. The inspiration for the hair was 1970’s Karen Carpenter – centre parting and curls from mid-length to ends maintaining straight roots for a multi-textured feel.

I’ve spent the last week in and out of fabric shops and I can’t imagine not having access to ribbon, lace and trimmings. I feel so happy when I’m in a haberdashery or lovely fabric shop! It’s a great place for a designer, stylist or fashion student to look for inspiration. You never know how much a particular piece of lace or ribbon is going to inspire or influence your work!
