TOPSHOP BOUTIQUE

We got together with the buyers from Boutique to shoot some of our favourite pieces. Here are a few of the shots. Think that gold cardi is a must-have!  

YOU WILL BE MISSED

We are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of model, colleague and friend Daul Kim. Our thoughts are with her family and all those who knew this incredibly gifted young woman.

ODE TO AUDREY

At Topshop HQ we're all slightly in love with Audrey Hepburn and now the fashion world is getting breathless with anticipation as a collection of her dresses come under the hammer. Thanks to her long-standing friendship with Hubert Givenchy, Hepburn was one of the world's best-dressed women and had a sense of style and an eye for detail that is as revered today as it was when she was alive.

The beautiful collection of 30 garments is due to be auctioned off by Kerry Taylor over three days in December and we can’t wait to get a glimpse of that famous Audrey style! Expect six-figure price tags and a flurry of sartorial excitement. You can take a look at the catalogue here!

And those of us who can't quite stretch to the real thing there's a fabulous new book called Audrey Hepburn: International Cover Girl by Titan Books, that takes a peek at the style icon through the many and varied magazine covers she graced.  The perfect gift for Christmas - we'll be looking for it in our stockings!

SS10 PRESS DAY

It was our SS10 Press Day today and there was some pretty amazing stuff! Only one problem - we now all want it to be summer! Get excited and keep your eyes peeled for pics!

WHY CAN'T OUR BRIEFS BE LIKE THIS?

Saw this on Lean Mean Fighting Machine's blog and had to share it! Imagine if you got a brief like this? How cool would that be?  

SEE IT LIVE!

If you haven't been to SHOWstudio's exhibition, Fashion Revolution, then get down to Somerset House and take a look before it closes on December 20th.

As well as over twenty projects from SHOWstudio's archives and a whole load of new films and artworks, the team have devised a series of live fashion shoots.

From their Live Studio Space at the exhibition, you can see world-renowned fashion image makers shoot fashion editorial, portraits and film. Cleverly, the two-way mirror allows you to watch unseen from the exhibition space, while the action is also broadcast live on SHOWstudio.com!

One of the shoots we've been waiting to go and see is with photographer, Jez Tozer, and Storm Model's new faces wearing Kate Moss for Topshop and Antony Price for Topman. Taking place on the 18th, this is a great time to go and take a look. Tickets are £5 and can be bought on the door.  

Not only will designer, Antony Price, be on set to style his collection but Jez was Nick Knight's assistant for three years and with Arena, Dazed Japan, Japanese Vogue, i-D and many more under his belt, he's certainly one to watch!

And if you fancy a glass of fiz, seeing the shoot and walking round the exhibition, there's a preview event on tomorrow from 6.30 - 9 that Inside-Out readers can attend. Get there early - there are only 100 places reserved for us - and quote Topshop on the door! It's £10 and as well as a speedy style workshop, you'll also recieve 10% off at the gift shop.

FASHEMATICS!

The latest Fashematic from the boys at Trust Fun made us smile! We're loving this stripey sequin number from Topshop Unique, SS10.

IS YOUR NAME ON THERE?

Emma Cook’s knitwear lands tomorrow and boy are we excited! After seeing them on the rail, we had to ask her what inspired this genius name game! Here's what she said...



"My Topshop knits were inspired by a photo I found of a 1950s teenager wearing a jumper with boys' names on it. We started talking about how we would all like a jumper with either our boyfriends, or our own name on. I went for a bit more if a 80s theme, and used classic 80s names and some of my friends names too. (I have since realized I have forgotten to include some so will be in trouble once they go into store)! I thought they would make brilliant Christmas presents. They're the the kind of thing that I would have loved at school!"

IT'S A DATE!

Take note! This is your chance to shop some seriously covetable pieces, and do your bit for charity all at the same time. Head down to the Music Rooms on South Molton Lane in London and get set for Gladrags and Handbags! There are set to be heaps of goodies donated by a who’s who of the fashion world up for grabs. Go label hunting and spot some of the fabulous donations from huge names like Westwood, McQueen, Chloe, Diesel, and - of course - Topshop!  100% of proceeds go to Kids Company, who’ll be giving over 2000 children the magical Christmas day they deserve. Designer clobber and do-gooing to boot?  We think this might just be our perfect day out!  Head down at these times and have a look for yourself.
