We love us some Swedish threads over here, and of course Tiger of Sweden AW13 is no exception. Top model Frida Gustavsson tempts us in the latest ad campaign, with a multitude of cool coats, an oversized clutch, some badass mock croc ankle boots and a chic pair of leather slacks…it has to be said, I WANT IT ALL!!!
Not sure if you know this, but we love a statement lip over here at Freak Deluxe, so you can imagine our excitement when we came across JAPONESQUE Pro Performance Lip Lacquer! I don’t think I’ve ever met a lip lacquer with such a strong pigment; great colour intensity teamed with a deep vinyl shine means you get a fantastically full-bodied finish.
As well as making your lips look amazing, the enriched formula hydrates and softens lips for incredible comfort and condition with no hint of stickiness; and the unique tapered brush delivers the precise application of a true makeup professional.
The Pro Performance Lip Lacquer is available here in 8 juicy shades and is priced at just ÂŁ15! Our favourites S1 (perfect beige); S5 (popping pink); S7 (pillar box red); S8 (deep red).

Award winning designer brand Meadham Kirchhoff have partnered with Amazon.co.uk for a second season to create a limited edition collection of scarves for AW13. The collection consists of four 100% silk square scarves, each featuring an original and intricately beautiful print true to the individual Meadham Kirchhoff style.
Talking about their designs for the Amazon collection, Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff explained: âThe âBallerinaâ scarf features the signature tiny ballerina motif from our autumn/winter collection in a fresh new colourway. This artwork originates from a vintage silk scarf. Our second design, âDrawingsâ is a visual archive of Edwardâs sketches from the âCosmology of Womenâ Fall 2011 show, and âPearlâ is an ornate design of baroque gold detailing and drop pearls that we featured in our spring/summer â13 collection entitled âMeadham Kirchhoff, A Cautionary Taleâ. The final design, entitled âCurtainâ also features signature imagery from our spring/ summer â13 collection, in this case featuring opulent swagged curtains with ornate gold fringes.â
“We are extremely excited about our latest collaboration with Meadham Kirchhoff, one of the UKâs most exciting and current designersâ said Jessica Brown, Head of Fashion at Amazon.co.uk Ltd. âAfter the success of the playful sweatshirt collection we created together last year, this year we have opted for an on-trend and beautifully designed silk scarf. Being the perfect autumn/winter outfit building accessory, we are confident our customers will love the collection. Everyone wants a piece of Meadham Kirchhoff in their wardrobe, and so weâve tried to create something which is affordable and will have wide appeal amongst our customers.â
The Meadham Kirchhoff collection for Amazon is available at www.amazon.co.uk now, priced at ÂŁ75 each including free UK delivery!
It’s official people – Nicolas Ghesquiere is Louis Vuitton’s new Women’s Artistic Director! LV made the announcement that he’d be taking over from Marc Jacobs (who left the fashion house last month) on their twitter account this afternoon.
Mr. Ghiesquiere’s first Louis Vuitton show will be AW14 collection, meaning his head should be buried in sketches and fabric swatches as we speak! How exciting!!! Always one of the maje ones-to-watch at Paris Fashion Week, the heat will be on even more so next for next season, the show will take place at the Cour Carree du Louvre (the recent home of Jacobs’ Vuitton shows) Ghesquiere said the venue is symbolic of what the fashion house stands for.
âLouis Vuitton is a universe much more than a brand, a community that everyone is a part of, with values of craftsmanship, of innovation and of traveling. A very complete universe.â As well as the Artistic Director of women’s wear, he will also have accompanying control over all visuals and ad campaigns.
On his predessessor, Marc Jacobs, Ghesquiere said âI have a lot of respect and admiration for Marc Jacobs. He made Louis Vuitton relevant in fashion and will always be known as the first designer of the brand. Among the many things he did there were the artist collaborations that have become some of the fundamentals of the brand. I am very proud to succeed him.â
Having produced one of the first logo-less”It” bags over at Balenciaga – the Lariat with multiple zips and leather tassels (ugh, remember when that first dropped, so delicious!); we wait with baited breath to see what he will bring to the LV handbags/accessories collection.
âTo give my point of view, to be part of that history, I am absolutely dedicated to make a new propositionâ (Louis Vuitton) âI am so excited. And I think I will be very busy. I have my playground for a few years now.â
