I love Springwise - the trends mailout I get every week - mainly because the items included are really clever.
Today they feature an article about a brand new fashion forecasting App called Trendstop. I love an App too, only today I downloaded one that counts all of the calories I eat in a day - yeah, its not nice!
Trend forecasters can charge a lot of money for yearly predictions (around $4000 a year for analysis) Trendstop now have a free iPhone (Android and Blackberry) App which lets you monitor the latest looks from catwalks and the like. According to Springwise:
Coverage includes daily trend reports, news and photos from fashion shows from around the world, and runway schedules and event guides.
Check out the App here Great idea!

David James - Out of Print
I'm really keen to see some more exhibitions, so when I read about the brand new David James 'Out of Print' exhibition I just had to drop it in a post. The former AnOther Man and current AnOther creative director has put together this digital exhibition - Exhibiting mixed media works by acclaimed creative director David James in chronological order, the show illustrates a considered engagement with technology within James’s design practice, particularly in relation to the fashion advertising campaigns for Prada.
From what I can gather this is an interesting look at how advertising has evolved to catch up with digital innovations - hence why the exhibition is a limited oeriod web based show:
“As digital media becomes the dominant media, I want this exhibition to mark the beginning of a new way of working for the studio. Our practice is no longer focused on two-dimensional representations, but all possible dimensions” – David James
The McQueen campaign will be featured as well as Dior and Prada work click here to take a look the show opens March 16 and closes on 1st May 2010

Viktor & Rolf at PFW
Twitter was on fire with Viktor & Rolf tweets, model Kristen McMenary walked out onto the catwalk wearing layers of clothing which were three times her body weight. Viktor & Rolf then came onstage to remove one piece of clothing at a time, dressing other models in the individual items.
Kristen was stripped down to her nude bodysuit and V&R started the process again.
Viktor & Rolf say
"This time around, we want to show that something can be both wearable and extreme at the same time. It goes beyond a mere idea; it is literally ready for production."
Style.com say
Ultimately, you can't help thinking this show will be remembered more for the spectacle than the clothes.
Off to LA
The boy and I are off to LA in a couple of weeks. I've been before but not for a while when I was a student at UCLA, let me know if you have any shopping tips or must sees!
In the meantime, I thought i'd create a montage or my favourite Los Angeles looks from lookbook.nu
The BAFTAs outfit
The BAFTAs are over, which mean I chose a dress - it was one I already owned - and I got my hair did.
I thought i'd show you the rubbish pics I took below.
Big thanks to Pimps & Pinups for the hair do, interestingly it lasted two days (I slept with it in) so I got to go to the i-D Christopher Kane Party at Shoreditch House with a hot hairdo.
Tropical plant not included!
Extremely shaky picture taken in my 5 minutes I got to dash back to the hotel and change pre- BAFTA dinner and party..
Unfortunately the Acne dress was too big so I have to send it ack - quite nervous I've left it too long now, eek.
