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."

Cannes Film Festival 2011

Zoe Saldana in Armani Prive, I love this dress its quite simple but still interesting with the use of stripe and draping detail! Fan Bing Bing in another Chinese inspired gown at the opening of the festival, fan wore a fire-engine red gown with traditional motifs embroidered all over it. the strapless dress had a bow on the chest and a cape which doubled as a train. i love the pearl clutch and matching lips. this dress was designed by fan’s stylist bo kewan. i like that she kept the whole look traditional by choosing the ancient tang dynasty style for her hair. way to be patriotic.(source:amaraj.wordpress.com)

Mia Wasikowska is far from Alice and wonderland in this Valentino Couture dress which is beautiful in the light nude shade and how its very 'lady -like' but still sexy in its own way!

I love the look as she still looks very feminine and adorable in tux!

Seeing this is almost the kind of aesthetic I thought my collection would be like from the beginning, I was attracted when I saw that it was trending for the up and coming spring season! I love the mixture of colours, prints and volume in the all the different designers take on oriental theme, also nice to see the east is inspiring the west more and more in the fashion.

Mao to Now Exhibition...too bad it's in Minnesota:(

Mao to Now Exhibition in Goldstein Museum of Design in Minnesota The Oriental by Wu Haiyan

'Wu Haiyan's all black and white designs use geometric shapes and diagonal lines, as well as plenty of frills and ruffles. The result is some jaw dropping pieces that harken back to early 20th century lines with 21st century pizzaz.' (blogs.citypages.com)

By Wang Yiyang

'Wang Yiyang's designs featured in the exhibit have a very urban feel, but still utilize shapes, often disarmingly so, like the t-shirt with the very large blue rectangle attached to the front, or the long pleated plaids skirt paired with a puffy printed jacket.' (blog.citypages.com )

This exhibition looks and sounds really interesting, wish I could go but too bad its half way across the world , nevertheless its nice I found out about it.


Here's a description about the exhibition from the Goldstein Museum of design website:

Chinese culture changed drastically between 1949 and the present. The evolution of Chinese fashion reflects how the culture transformed. “Mao to Now” is divided into three periods: pre Mao (1912 to 1948), the Mao era (1949 to 1977), the era of the nondescript Mao suit and the post-Mao era (1978 to present), which demonstrates how, after Mao, Chinese fashion began to exhibit an increasingly dramatic melding of Chinese and Western design expression.

The work of four top Chinese fashion designers will be included in the exhibition: Wu Haiyan, Liu Canming, Wang Yiyang, and Zhang Da. In addition to the items of dress and accessories, the exhibition will feature photographs by high-profile Chinese journalists and photographers to illustrate the differences between the periods.
