Africa Fashion Week Inspired Collection

Surges of vibrant prints, beading and embroidery hit the runway and our high streets as the fashion world gains inspiration from multicultural influences.

During New York Fashion Week, Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B collection exhibited the African style – I’ve always wanted to do the tribal thing but it’s pretty hard to get right. I think we’ve got it’, Gwen said.

Today was the second day of the premier of Africa Fashion Week London 2011; African fashion is very much in the spotlight this year, which has inspired us to create our very own tribal collection.

Helena Bonham Strikes a Pose or Two for Marc Jacobs Fall 2011

We all know fashion can be a bit eccentric at times, but this is just plain strange! Despite Marc Jacobs weird approach to advertising, we kinda like it!

The new ad campaigns have been trickling out one by one over the past week, revealing the bizarre images  photographed by Juergen Teller. The first one to be released was of Helena in a pink scaly, futuristic looking dress, and a blue pillbox hat.

The second one to be realised seemed to spark a lot of interest, and after checking it out ourselves, we know why! In this image she is photographed looking rather ill, with her tongue sticking out, spots all over her face and swollen eyes – I don’t know about you but we where getting a bit bored of all the predictable ads. Who would have thought chicken pox and fashion would go so well together ey?

The latest to be released is of Helena kneeling down (again with her tongue out) but this time panting and begging like a dog. Love it or hate it, no one can deny that these latest Marc Jacobs ad campaigns have certainly caught some attention!

One think that we have been wondering though, after seeing a very ill-looking Helena, and what appears to be her panting and acting like a dog, would you really be inspired to go out and buy Marc Jacobs clothing collection?
