Topshop has become a British High-Street institution and it has become so famous and popular that it’s branching out all over the world. Now, it’s the turn of Australia to benefit from Topshop’s fashion forward thinking as their very first store, in Melbourne, opened to 250 excited fashion lovers.

Alexander McQueen successor, Sarah Burton, has two dresses in particular to thank for her brilliant year at the helm of the British designer label. Yes, you’ve guessed right, those Royal Wedding dresses worn by …

It’s barely been two weeks since the Versace for H&M Collection launched on both sides of the pond, and already the High Street giant, H&M, has announced their next collaboration.

When Kate and William married in April this year, of course all eyes were on the magnificent wedding dress, but eyes briefly swayed onto Bridesmaid Pippa Middleton who was also sporting a gorgeous Alexander McQueen creation.

Alexander McQueen is a name known by everyone in the fashion industry and the designer’s legacy and vision lives on through Sarah Burton’s gorgeous designs, but it’s also being kept alive by the ‘McQ’ branch of the company, the label for a younger audience.

She’s responsible for Autumn/Winter 2011’s biggest trend…the polka dot. She showcased figure hugging, sheer polka-dot creations on her A/W catwalk shows and a flurry of celebrities have been spotted in that dress, but would you be surprised to hear that Stella McCartney has never showcased her collections at London Fashion Week? Unthinkable!

It’s a momentous occasion in fashion history as exclusive designer label, Versace, has teamed up with Highstreet giant, H&M for an exciting new collaboration. To celebrate the joining of these two fashion brands, a celeb filled event took place in New York City.

When we think of Christmas we think cosy jumpers and fat men in red suits. We don’t necessarily picture a thin blonde lady wearing an outrageous outfit, but it seems that US Department store, Barney’s, though of just that when they were coming up with wacky ideas for their countdown to Christmas.

Australian supermodel, Miranda Kerr was noticeably missing from last years popular Victoria’s Secret catwalk show due to her being pregnant with son Flynn, but this year she was back with a vengeance, ready to show the rest of the models exactly how it should be done.

As most of us are putting our Christmas wishlists together, it’s difficult to think about what we really want or what we really need from our friends and families. And it’s even harder to decide what you should get your loved ones as well. However, Topshop have decided to make things a bit easier and take some of the thinking out of present list making by putting the element of surprise back in.
