‣ In a pairing that’s made the little girls in us squeal with glee, Christian Louboutin has teamed up with Disney to design a special “Cinderella” slipper to coincide with the global release of Cinderella The Diamond Edition on Blu-ray this October. Louboutin has said of the collaboration: “Isn’t it everyone’s dream, to once in your life [be] part of a fairy tale? Walt Disney Studios gave me a wonderful opportunity to live this magical moment. I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world.” If Cinderella’s glass slippers had been red-soled Louboutins, we’re betting she wouldn’t have lost them quite so easily…
‣ Too many diffusion lines are never enough with news that Helmut Lang is now designing a collection of trusty basics. Rather aptly titled “Helmut” and the capsule collection will contain everything from tanks and tees to leggings and maxi dresses. Have a look at helmutlang.com.
‣ Judging from the number of well-dressed people congregating in Sydney, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has well and truly started. Day one saw shows by Gary Bigeni, Kirrily Johnston, Romance was Born (loving their Marvel-inspired collection), Ksubi and Ginger and Smart. Today’s shows will include SOMEWEAR favourites Zimmermann, Maticevski and Magdalena Velevska. You can start to play the celebrity spotting game as celebs such as Whitney Port, Rachel Taylor and Lara Bingle are said to be checking out the shows. If you’re more into fame of the blogger kind, Candice Lake, Bryan Boy, Rumi Neely, Elin Kling and Susie Bubble are also in attendance.
