I love Chanel's SS 2010 colours...particularly nouvelle vague.

Indian Vogue Tackles Prejudice Against Darker Skin

The new issue of Indian Vogue contains an editorial heralding darker skin. To wit, five bikini-clad models appear on the cover. The demand for skin-lightening creams grew 18 percent last year, and is expected to rise by 25 percent this year. From the issue:

"Every generation has its share of beauty myths. Perhaps it is time to bust this one," the editorial says. "Time to say that as a magazine we love, and always have loved, the gorgeous colour of Indian skin ... dark, dusky, bronze, golden — whatever you call it, we love it."

British Vogue reports that fashion insiders in India are thrilled with the cover, and think the fashion industry is a good agent for a change in attitudes toward skin color.

Scott Schuman's spread for Vogue Pelle at the request of the lovely Giovanna Bataglia. The spread is based on the idea of the "cool, blogger girl" and that sometimes the blogger is even better dressed than the subjects of the photo.

Alexander McQueen (Fall/Winter 2010)

Alexander McQueen's collection for f/w 2010 has sort of a regal/queen-like feel to it. I like the materials and the patterns.
