Jil Sander Fall 2012
Jil Sander Fall 2012 via Fashionologie
With the departure of Raf Simons from Jil Sander and the news of his move to replace Galliano at Dior, it seems appropriate to post a few of my favourite looks from the most recent Jil Sander collection. I feel like I came late to the party and was only just getting to know this designer, a man Robin Givan described as having, "established a vocabulary of bold color and provocative shapes, along with a refreshing understanding of fashion’s role in the lives of professional women". I'm excited to see what his modern aesthetic does for Dior.

Stylish to cover up sexy
So a number of you have heard me waxing lyrical about the pure sex that is my new iPad - I'm reading the Steve Jobs biography at the moment, and decided that with my love of all things Apple, design and tech I couldn't bear to be left out of this part of history. Now that I have this delicious new toy, I need something stylin' to keep it safe. (I have a penchant for scratching new, expensive toys within the first week of acquiring them.) I've been lusting after this DVF design in a laptop case for months now - lo and behold I found it also comes as an iPad cover - you can check it out/buy it for me here.

Bursting with desire

Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it.

The art glitterati
Friday night I hit the town with the gorgeous and effervescent Marissa as her plus-one for the opening of the John Kaldor Family contemporary art gallery at the Art Gallery of NSW. There, we mingled with the art glitterati, bumped into the largest number of tall men per sq feet I have ever seen (including Glenn McGrath), heard to NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell try to be cultured, were educated by gallery Director Edmund Capon ("Inspiration, as we know, is one of the great sources of optimism") and got to see the collection of a lifetime - worth $35m, John Kaldor has donated his life's collection over +50 years to the gallery in an incredible act of philanthropy. You simply must go see it! Check out his story here.
