Dale Mag 01, June 2006

I am very proud to anounce the very first cover of Dale Magazine! It is of course a fake cover, but what's a magazine without a cover? Every cover kind of introduces how I feel that the coming month will be. Fashionwise, but also personally. On the June cover of issue 01, we see our very first covergirl Marta Berzkalna! I have introduced her before to you all and I thought that she would be perfect for the first Dale Mag cover.

June will be a smokin' hot month, as the cover already provokes. Not only will it bring us Summer 2006, but it is also the time that the party season starts. Hot Mediteranian beachparties will be the talk of the town. And of course, you've got to look smokin' hot to attend one. Bring out the shades and the bathing suits!

Miss Unconventionality

Some call her ugly or scary. Some call her Kat Bespyatikh's evil twin. That last one may be right, but I think that Canadian Coco Rocha is super photogenic and above all extremely unique. She is currently in the Dolce & Gabbana pre-fall campaign and there are rumours that she will be in the Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana Fall campaigns. She is one of Marc Jacobs' favourite new girls, apparantly. Since she walked all three his shows and opened Louis Vuitton. She's been on the cover of Italian Vogue and is probably gonna do a lot of printwork in the near future. So be sure to keep your eyes wide open for this unconventional beauty.

Showstoppers F/W 06.07: Preen

Another great example of how London Fashion Week is really bursting back into the scene is the Preen show of coming Autumn. It was a minimalistic collection, with a lot of basic colours, excellent tailoring and geometric shapes.


Designer duo Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thorton took their inspiratian from an early nineties photograph by Mario Testino featuring Nadja Auermann.


Overall, their main focus was on the waist. Clever tricks of wrapping and tieing the fabrics around the waist gave a very feminine and modern silhouette on this seasons Preen runway.


Colourwise, they started of with beige and greyish tones. A bit metallic as well. As the collection developed, red pieces started to take the runway and there were also some reallt great black numbers. Such as this excellent coat above.


The coat below is my favourite piece of the collection. It is very elegant, a bit fifties and perfectly not over the top. I am hoping that Preen will amaze me again next season. I am almost sure they will, with London fashion week growing and growing.

Korean Splendor

The one of a kind looks and excellent walk of Korean Han Hye Jin immediatley caught my eye while I was watching the latest Peter Som show live online. Turns out I am not the only one liking this new girl. Later on she appeared in both the Marc Jacobs shows, the Vuitton show and also the Gucci show, among others. The latest news also has it that Han is gonna be the solo-girl in the Anna Moulinari ad campaign for next Fall. Which is definetly no nothing! Be sure to watch out for Han in the next few seasons.
