Anja Rubik for Massimo Dutti Spring 2011

Anja Rubik looks stunning as ever in these images for Massimo Dutti Spring 2011, shot by photographer Paolo Kudacki. I love the collection as well, it's simple, but so elegant and feminine at the same time. I would sure like to own this 3rd outfit, the fabric of the skirt looks delicious and it'd be such a perfect outfit for a hot summer's day.

You can see the rest of the images on Massimo Dutti's website and here's a gorgeous video that takes you behind the scenes with Anja and David Gandy:

Alina Baikov for Vogue Australia March 2011

I ADORE this colourful Vogue Australia cover for the March 2011 issue! Shot by Nicole Bentley, the image shows model Alina Baikov dressed in a Prada ensemble from the Spring 2011 collection. I love that they used minimal text on this cover and I love the pastel coloured wall. This issue will definitely stand out on the newsstands!credit: tfs

Christian Lacroix Evening Dress (1996)

I found some pics of an exhibition I visited at the V&A museum (in London) last year and I remembered how impressed I was by this Christian Lacroix evening dress from 1996. The stunning colours first caught my eye and then the floral print, the embroidered bodice and all the beautiful detailing were what made me fall in love with it..

Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week kicked off today and John Galliano for Christian Dior  was amongst the first designers to present his Haute Couture collection for Spring 2011. It's a strong collection, inspired by illustrator Rene Gruau, with voluminous dresses, cinched waists and bold colours as well as soft pastel tones. I especially adore the second look I posted, as the colours are stunning and suit the model's pale skin so beautifully. This collection wasn't really anything new, but it's exactly what you would expect from Dior at its best - and after a few disappointing Dior collections I can honestly say I LOVE this one :) And don't these looks above just SCREAM Springtime?

You can view the entire collection HERE and check out this video of the show:

Coco Rocha for Numéro #88

These shots by Sølve Sundsbø are from a 2007 editorial in Numéro #88. This has to be my absolute favourite Coco Rocha ed ever, it's completely dreamy and I love the soft colours and the way Coco's ginger curly hairdo stands out.
