FASHION GETS INTO THE GROOVE

Posted by Fashion Junior at Large

Jigging about and getting energetic is probably the last thing on everyone's mind on Monday morning, but it seems that the fashion industry has other ideas. Having been perusing the Resort 2012 lookbook images, it couldn't escape our attention that a heck of a lot of the models seemed to be leaping around like they are hardcore members of Pineapple Studios.

Gone are the days of boring studio shots - busting a move seems to be the future. Not that we are complaining, it sure makes sorting through the new collections more fun. Now what we want to know is this: when are the images going to become GIFs? Even more enjoyable!

Here are our fave Resort 2012 shots featuring models on the move.

Max Azria

Chloe - shot on the streets on Paris, these pics reminded us of film stills, or particularly chic paparazzi shots.

Lanvin (above and below) Daphne Groenveld not only wafts around showing off the garments to their maximum potential, she's also clearly not afraid of a good 'hair swish' or three.

Missoni: slightly more sedate, but nevertheless, having a model stride through the incredible backdrop made these looks come alive.

Theysken's Theory

Giles' multi-fluro-patterned-craziness for Ungaro looks incredible in these wind-machine shots. Glamour to the max.

It's Daphne again, striding about for Versace. Can this girl not sit still?

Vionnet: showing us the best way to model a skinny flare.

And finally, Lindsay 'The Pout' Wixon turns senorita for Z-Spoke. You can just see her ruffling that skirt and salsa-ing off the page!

So there you have it: for Resort, it's all about models who move. Fashion has dictated that it's time to start throwing shapes that would make Louie Spence proud...

MY GIRL CRUSH ON CAREY MULLIGAN

Posted by the Fashion Editor at Large

Carey Mulligan in Nina Ricci chatting with Tom Ford on 17th January after the Golden Globes

I've never seen a movie that prominently features Carey Mulligan -something I plan to rectify as soon as possible by watching An Education - but I did see her at the Royal Court a few years ago in the play The Seagull and recall her from Pride & Prejudice. The relationship I am building with the 24 year old currently, though, is through her frequent red carpet outings. Her choice of designers is fascinating - she has worn copious amounts of Prada, as well as Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, Marni and two relatively unknown labels. The first being up-and-coming designer Prabal Gurung (I know, what a mouthful!) and Vionnet the french fashion house that, under new design leadership, is currently taking the fashion world by surprise at its fabulousness. I am a fan of every single outfit choice Carey has made since October, (and would like to take a moment to congratulate her stylist, Tiina Laakkonen) I can agree that she deserves the "new Audrey Hepburn" tag but more than that there is something so refreshing about her demeanour. She is cute and vulnerable and real, and looks like she is brilliantly surprised by her success. More than that she looks like she is super-connected to her emotions and feelings and is comfortable in her own skin. She allows nerves to creep in because why the heck wouldn't you be slightly bricking it in front of the world's paparazzi on a red carpet somewhere in Hollywood? I shan't say any more than that other than to show you why Carey is my girl of the moment. Bring on the BAFTA'S!
