It's no secret: Sometimes the very best looks aren't on the runways at all. Here's some of the chicest looks recently snapped on the streets of New York Fashion Week.

 

 

 

H&M Spring-Summer by Marni

H&M already has its next designer collaboration lined up: Marni. The collection, which encompasses womenswear, menswear, jewelry, shoes, bags, and scarves, hits 260 H&M stores worldwide and online on March 8, 2012.

According to the collection's press release: "For women, the colors are vivid and the prints are bold, be they African inspired or simpler color blocks. The silhouettes are all Marni staples, with full pleated skirts, dresses, cropped trousers and jacquard knit, and fabrics range from silk to crisp cotton poplin. For men, the colors and fabrics are softened for a relaxed take on menswear staples that is truly Marni. The use of print is subtle, often as a lining or as a contrast detail for shirts, the silhouette a modern and relaxed take on masculine classics."

H&M By Night Collection 2011

H&M Fall 2011 by Night Collection is classy and seductive. The bright colors, attention grabbing combination, bold cuts and the fabric used showcases the feminine choice of style. The dress collection is simply worth of finding place in our wardrobe. Apart from fuchsia dresses, there are simple, short black dresses that never goes out of trend and can be worn on any event.  

 

Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor - Vogue September Issue

Dying for the September issues of this year? Well here is just another reason to continue counting down the minutes. The upcoming September issue of Vogue Magazine will not only showcase hundreds of pages of fabulous and fierce fashion, but this year the mag is said to be featuring a 72-page dedication to the late Elizabeth Taylor; a Hollywood icon that will forever have an influence on the world of fashion.

A style icon, a muse and a Hollywood legend, Taylor was admired worldwide. With a penchant for elegance and an indulgence for diamonds, the 8-times married starlet was used to being the centre of attention. Taking pride of place as the main inspiration for V’s ‘heroes’ themed issue, we’re expecting drama, glamour and a whole lot of luxury.

The issue's theme for September is "Heroes" and it is no suprise that Liz Taylor is one of the heroines of choice. She captivated thousands of audiences with her beauty and played muse to artists of all types.  Yet the big question is, who is the team behind such momentous dedication? Look no futher than world renowned photographer Mario Testino and the highly influential Carine Roitfeld; a match made in editorial heaven! There couldnt be a more more dynamic duo for such a project and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of issue.
