OH FASHION MODEL

I finally got my copy of the latest Russh October/November Issue #36 yesterday! Pages & pages of off-the-beaten track style inspiration. I particularly liked this fashion editorial featuring layered swimwear. The lilac Zimmermann swimsuit is amazing - awesome back! But my fav pieces have to be the Herve Leger bandage swimwear. They are absolutely stunning and oh so flattering. I learnt the true meaning of bandage style clothing when I had a cat-nap in my bandage dress yesterday - I really did feel like my body had been tightly bandaged when I woke up!

Russh Magazine #35

Fashion Gone Rogue

I always get excited about the release of the next issue of Russh because I know it will be filled with fabulous clothes, amazing photography and interesting articles. I love it because it isn't your average fashion mag, as its more on the alternate side, combing new with old. Russh focuses on Australian designers and presents them in a way they can compete on an international stage. I was pleased to find the editorial featuring Brazilian model, Alessandra Ambrosio, while flicking through the magazine over a skinny latte last week. Alessandra looks fantastic in her role as a fashionista wondering the iconic backstreets of NY City. The pics are filled with movement, as if you can feel the wind rushing through the streets and whirling Alessandra's clothes around. As is evident from the content of my blog, I'm an enormous fan of black and white fashion photography, and this shoot is a perfect example of the beauty of photographing feminine, white, flowing clothes, against the far more harsh & rough city backstreets.

Fashion Gone Rogue

I've been buying and collecting Russh Magazine since mid 2005. The thing I love about Russh is the mixing of chain store, vintage and designer pieces  to create fashion forward, yet original looks. The eclectic, street-style  element of the magazine, sets it apart from the other designer-designer mags.  I'm looking forward to purchasing #34 and flicking through it over a skinny late. Each issue is always filled with lots of inspiring looks and ideas. I'm loving the "Rat Pack" shoot combining tough leather jackets, dreamy tulle, shaggy coats, lace and ribbon to create the ultimate bow-tastic, rock chic look.
