Give me wings!

Last year the owls flew their way back into our wardrobes when Marc Jacobs chose to include them in his collection, and now the wings are back– specially on accessories. Not that it’s new – we’ve seen them printed on bags and t-shirts –, but now angel, butterfly or bird wings appears as earrings, bracelets and rings amongst other. Rihanna is a big fan of the trend, look how cool she brings wing jewelry into her wardrobe. We love it!



Louis Vuitton has dressed a virtual superstar
The fashion house's unusual new project saw creative director Marc Jacobs create four funky looks for computer-generated Japanese pop sensation Hatsune Miku to wear on stage.
Hatsune is a 3D 'Volcanoid', a holographic projection with an artificial voice, who performs to sold-out stadiums. The virtual singer is starring in a new opera stage show, 'The End', and was in need of a brand new wardrobe.
Hatsune is branching out from her usual school uniform attire to don four checkerboard-inspired looks from Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2013 collection. Her look will be finished off with ultra feminine hair bows and statement handbags.


Vogue has signed a conduct code for models
The fashion bible is the first magazine to agree to a new 10-point code which protects the rights of working models, drawn up by trade union Equity.
The revolutionary document covers shoots taking place in studios and on location, and promises models will "get assurances on hours of work, breaks, food, transport, nudity and semi-nudity, temperature, changing rooms and prompt payment."
The initiative is headed by Dunja Knezevic, who approached Equity when she realised there was no body which represented the rights of models. The code also bans girls under the age of 16 from being photographed for shoots aimed at adults.
This comes after the 20 international editions of Vogue agreed on a Health Initiative in May 2012 which vowed to promote a more healthy body image.
