Vogue Princesses

Society has a strange fascination with Disney characters, so much so that many of us crave to see special renditions like this Vogue Princesses series. Of course, when one considers how much of a role these characters and movies played in our childhood years, it is no wonder that we encourage the nostalgic tendencies of these projects.


Yet the Vogue Princesses art series also addresses our need for something new and exciting. Forget about innocent storylines and tired film sequels; artists like Dante Taylor give us a different perspective of these once-sweet-and-dainty damsels. The Vogue Princesses series shows them all grown up. From the naive Snow White to the the self-sacrificing Belle, these Vogue Princesses magazine covers give them all edgy looks, as though they have been seasoned by the fashion industry

How cool are these covers, They look so good although the original characters has seem to lots a lot of the innocence. The illustrations are beautiful !

Stella McCartney's sporty Team GB collection


THE June issue of Vogue (see inside the magazine here), goes behind the scenes on Stella McCartney's Adidas Olympic collection shoot - and VOGUE.COM can bring you the film itself. McCartney - who is creative director of Adidas' Team GB collection - has enlisted fashion photographer Jacob Sutton to capture the conceptual fashion film, narrated by the designer herself.


"Sport and style have always been the starting point for this collaboration," McCartney said. "We wanted to take it to another art form for this collection by making a film and capturing the athletes in movement which is at the heart of this process."

Victoria Secret's Finally Coming to the UK




VICTORIA'S SECRET is coming to the UK next summer, with a store on New Bond Street. The company, currently enjoying healthy sales in its native US, plans to open two or three new stores in the London area, before considering a nationwide expansion of "mall stores".




"The mall-based stores will be large box units with full assortments, but they're in the UK, not the US, and we have to learn," Martyn R Redgrave, executive vice president and chief administrative officer, told WWD. "That's what we're looking to do as we expand, in the U.K. in particular, and those will be company-owned and operated."




The brand is most famous for its catwalk show featuring its supermodel Angels - who have included Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman, Lily Donaldson, Lily Aldridge, Karolina Kurkova, Candice Swanepoel, Miranda Kerr, Doutzen Kroes, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley over the past few years.

It's quite exciting as I think the wait has been so long and seeing as many America brands in the past few years branching out into the UK, Victoria Secret's is jumping at the chance too as not long ago Forever 21(technically a Korean Brand though) opened in the UK and has been selling out stock easily. Where Victoria Secret is already well known as brand so the commercial interest is already there, I guess the wait just made the anticipation bigger!
