Versace Internship!!!


Versace is offering a semester long Internship at their New York offices to the highest bidder.
Donatella donated the Internship to The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization that encourages working Actors, Artists and Musicians to donate their time and talent to children battling serious medical conditions.

As well as the Internship, the highest bidder will also receive two tickets for the Versace and Christopher Kane show in Milan, a meet and greet with Donatella backstage and signed Versace merchandise and perfume.

I think this is a wonderful way to give to charity as well as the opportunity of a lifetime for one lucky fashionista!!!

The highest bid is currently sitting at 1100USD-follow this link to check it out

A Military Moment!!

This morning I found this fabulous shoot featuring Giselle Bunchen in the Korean Vogue showcasing the Military trend and had to share it.

I love the clean lines and tailoring mixed with the very soft looking knit T's.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010


Alexander McQueen's last collection has been revealed in a private showing. 16 outfits from his Hells Angels+Prolific Demons themed collection were shown to a select few. Amazingly detailed fabrics were showcased on designs with drapery and tailoring-which works beautifully.


His shoes are to die for, have a look below at the details.







On 18 February 2010, Robert Polet, the president and chief executive of the Gucci Group, announced that the Alexander McQueen business would carry on without its founder and creative director-it will be interesting to see who they choose to fill the shoes of this creative and dramatic designer.



For the full collection click on the link below

We are sad to announce the death of Ayanda Langeni -one of our First Year students here at the Design Academy of Fashion.

She will be remembered as a bright young woman, brimming with potential and will be missed by all the staff and students.

Condolences to her family in this difficult time.
