children in need!
Children in need is coming up and it's time to get fundraising!! There are so many things you can do to make money. You can do cake stalls or tombolas or raffles, but it's a good excuse to get creative and sporty too. You could do a sponsered swim or run, or make things to sell such as bracelets and other kinds of jewellery. Make a difference!

Knitwear is big new this winter, and i'm sitting here wondering why it hasn't been in past winters?! Oh well, i'm happy to wear it anyway because it's comfy, on trend, and will keep me toasty when the big chill hits. Plus, if Stella McCartney loves it, so do i!

male models dressed as girls hit the runway!
Not all was what it seemed in this years catwalk shows. Surprisingly, many of the female models displaying Marc by Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garcons and more at Paris and London fashion week this year, turned out to have not been born women at all.
This is Andrej Pejic, a 19 year old male and female model who is world famous for begining this boys dressed as girls catwalk craze. He made it into FHM's list of 100 sexiest women this summer but also No11 Models.com's Top 50 Male Models as well. Kind of a strange career choice if you ask me.
Other models like Andrej include Lea T, a transgender model who started her modeling career in January, and Valentijn de Hingh (no idea how you pronounce that!)
here are some pics of Andrej in fashion adverts:

10 most influencial fashion designers ever!
Here are what i think are the 10 most influencial fashion designers of our time! ;) It was incredibly hard to choose, and i could easily have done 100 most influencial fashion designers, but i ended up with these 10 legendary designers that i think deserve to be in my top 10!
1. Ralph Lauren
Since his debut began in the late 1960's, Ralph Lauren has become a great fashion hero. From his signature polo horse to the embroidered RL, Ralph Lauren is one of the most recognizable brands in history.The preppy style of Ralphs polo shirts, and original collection including classic tweed, and sweet feminine tailoring, to his fragrances, furniture and home accesories has made him world famous and ultimatley he is at the top of my list.
2. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
Dolce and Gabbana are powerfully known for their take on classic, glamorous collections using traditional elements. They are a perfect team when creating trendy, modern fashion with an edge that flatters men and women. Their corsets, and gangsta pinstripes are a staple peice in many of their advertisments and collections, and their ultimate success has come from determination and two great minds.
3. Vivienne Westwood
As we speak Vivienne Westwood continues to design outstanding and shocking fashion from what started as a daring decision to invent punk fashion. She has become incredibly popular throughout her career for being rebellious with her punk collections and introducing tight leather and the idea that a person should wear safety pins and dog collars as part of their fashion.
4. Gianni Versace
Gianni was commonly known for his siren dresses wore on celebrities and royalties alike, but also his innovative thinking to combine fashion and art to create stunning peices, as well as using unconventional materials such as aluminum and combined leather and rubber. After Gianni's tragic death, his sister Donatella took over the company as wished by Gianni.
5. Coco Chanel
Coco chanel is the great creator of what we all know as "little black dress". She changed the way women dressed dramatically, and her sophistication, class and independence all show in her work. After Chanel passed away, the company was handed over to Karl Lagerfeld, to keep Chanels fashion vision alive for the future.
6. Alexander Mcqueen
Alexander Mcqueen was incredibly rebellious, unique and inventive with his designs. His amazing imagination meant that he could bring creativity to whatever he wanted. His work was worn by many celebrities including Lady Gaga and Rhianna, and after his tragic death bought sadness to many, we will never know what he had in store for his unfinished collection 2010.
7. Giorgio Armarni
Giorgio Armarni started out in fashion as a window dresser and went on to become one of the most influencial fashion designers in the world. He is most commonly known in Italy for his numerous franchises including: the famous jeans to a Pat McGrath-designed makeup line, over 2000 emporia worldwide and over $1 billion sales per year. Armani truly is an incredibly succesful designer.
8.Christian Dior
in 1950 when Christian Dior's designs took off, he had established a new look of curvaceous silhouettes that made liberal use of fabrics despite post-war rations. Dior has rocketed since then and what Christian had started off has become a huge part of modern fashion today.
9. Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent's legacy as a king of fashion designers, who created a masterpiece of a brand, keeps growing. From his legendary smoking suit "le smoking", to sheer blouses, jumpsuits, and the reefer jacket, his many inventions have taken a great influence on fashion today. In October 1998 Yves Saint Laurent showed his last ready-to-wear collection for the Rive Gauche label he had founded more than 30 years before. He carried on his haute couture until 2002
10. Vera Wang
Vera Wang is especially known for her outstanding wedding collections which don't just include dresses but fine china to invitations. Vera is very romantic and glamorous and this side of her personality appears in all of her dresses with their rich embellishments, artful layers, and sumptuous jewel-tone fabrics. Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham wore her dresses on their wedding days whilst Keira Knightley and Michelle Williams have favoured her on the red carpet.
