Bekah Jenkins as a Sea Siren in Flare Magazine

This shoot is responsible for making me excited about my ocean fashion theme for going back to uni and has rekindled my inspiration.

The shorts and the dress in the first two images are absolutely phenomenal and I can't get over them. Designs featured in this article come from Calvin Klein, Peter Pilotto  and Marc Jacobs to name a few. Very excited by it all and very inspired

Georgia May Jagger for Elle Brazil April 2012

In a celebration of all that is British, Jacques Dequeker shot Georgia May Jagger for Elle Brazil in some of Londons finest ensembles to create that punk look that is a huge part of our heritage. Think Vivienne Westwood with leather, denim, sequins and flannel.

Charlotte Free by Eric Guillemain for Numero Tokyo.

I fell in love with this photoshoot as soon as I saw it. For starters, who better to rock the SS12 pastel looks of Prada, McQueen, Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga than Charlotte Free. She looks stunning and the candyfloss dream background of the shots against her edgy look works so well. 

Simone Rocha.

One of my new favourite designers for 2012 is Simone Rocha, daughter of John Rocha. It is fair to say that you do get to where you are in the industry through people you know, but she truly is talented and comes with her own aesthetic and creative ideas that are highly innovative. Her celebrity clientele includes Lady Gaga who wore one of her SS12 designs on the cover of Elle as well as seeing a showcase of the collection and purchasing many pieces. 

Simone Rochas SS12 collection stood out in the way that it mixed technical materials such as PVC and latex with antique lace and tulles to create these really futuristic-romantic looks fueled by her Irish background and craft . It was immediately snapped up by conceptual boutiques from the capitals of Fashion such as Londons Dover Street Market and Colette in Paris. 

Rochas roots stem back to Central St Martins where her MA graduate collection was equally as inspiring. Her collection took tailoring and injected deconstruction and innovation to produce a brand new take on classic design. Rocha stunned crowds then and has continued to grow in creativity and strength from season to season.

In AW11/12 Rocha took the high street by storm too by collaborating with Topshop on a six piece collection so her intrigued fans could still get the look on a budget. Again, her allude to tailoring was noted with a modern twist. Simone Rocha can be added to the list of those designers who truly lead and aspire to bring something new and interesting to the industry. 

The Olsen's for Elle

Love the styling. The Olsens are two of my biggest fashion icons and their Elle shoot is no exception. Embellishment is key to the looks giving a sense of edgy luxury. So buying this issue tomorrow....

Paris Fashion Week: Tuesday 6th March

The end of Fashion is today and  yesterdayfinished with some of the biggest designers in the industry. All in all, I have been fairly impressed though I don't think I have been as excited as I was when all the SS12 collections came out. With one day to go, hopefully there will be some surprises. 

CHANEL

Lagerfeld was taking inspiration from nature and this time it was all about crystal formations and rocks. This meant whole new proportions for Chanel in this collection. Inspiration from minerals came in the form of shape, embroidery and embellishments. There was a definite darker look to this collection than usual, with Lagerfeld taking us further away from Chanel tradition each time. 

 VALENTINO

Valentino incorporated a kind of folk feel from different traditional dress from various countries. There was Russia, Greece, the oriental etc. There was definitely more of a darker side here as opposed to Valentino's usual softness. Yes, I loved some pieces here but overall I wasn't as in love with this as SS12 or even Pre fall. 

 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Burton created some kind of feminine cyber army with this collection. Proportions were completely blown up and weird and wonderful structures created here. Fur has a large element to the show and all different kinds. 

 PACO RABANNE

Paco Rabanne still had the traditional metal allude and futuristic look to it, but the pieces were a lot more wearable than usual. The seventies definitely came in here at some point but perhaps a few pieces were not as youthful as the house usually is. 

Paris Fashion Week: Monday 5th March

CHLOE

Chloe took inspiration from the more casual every day look of say London or New York and mixed it with a sophisticated elegance of Paris. Pastel shades were adopted and used throughout the collection and I particularly enjoyed seeing the textures that were created for the pieces. 

 YVES ST LAURENT

A darker tone was set for YSL with structured, moderate fetish like themes running through the collection. In short, it was an over powering sexual collection with gothic undertones. Leather, chainmails and furs were adopted to create dominating looks. 

STELLA MCCARTNEY

There was a very easy and relaxed feel to Stella McCartneys collection. It was one of the most sports influenced collections of the day with vivid colour and wearable designs.
