Pretty Things Fashion... Gripp Jeans

{{ ALL THINGS NEW ROMANTIC }}

Designed by Dianne Grgat,  the A/W 2009 collection for Australian label Gripp Jeans is a renaissance of ‘gothic chic’.

"It's sophisticated glamour with a rock vamp edge, leaving the collection with a feel of lust and utter abandonment."

Key pieces such as the corsets in power net and lace emphasise feminine virtues such as the décolletage. Fitted body dresses in lace and draped jersey play a game of peek-a-boo on the derriere. Feminine assertiveness is expressed with strong structural lines in shoulder detailing and the use of leather and heavy metal hardware and trims.

Who said New Romantic is dead?

Pretty Things Fashion...Cirque 21

Forever 21 never seems to disappoint when it comes to fun, funky {and knock off} fashion on the cheap...and that's why we love them.

Amongst all the other new lines they have going, they have introduced Twist, a new series of monthly capsule collections inspired by themes and all things vaguely termed "Young Hollywood."

For example, the circus-themed debut range appears to be loosely based on Britney Spears's latest tour "Circus", with ringmaster jackets and bustier tops (but trading the PVC hot pants for G-rated tulle petticoats).

But, act quickly if you want any of this sweet Cirque 21 collection cuz each collection lasts only four weeks and then it will disappear forever, allowing room for 45-55 new pieces to debut around a different theme.

What FUN!

FIRST LOOK: Anna Sui for Target

The look book of designer Anna Sui's Target line has been leaked...and here are some of the new looks that will be available.

The new line consists of 19 looks inspired by the popular television show Gossip Girl. ...And to make things a bit more fun for us, they'v based the designs on the type of looks worn by the Gossip Girl characters themselves. Blair's dresses have high collars, two affixed with bows. Vanessa's dresses are strangely all orange and brown, Jenny's dresses are a confused mix of bohemian schoolgirl social climber, and Serena's outfits, while cute, could be a bit more daring.

We're not sure we're loving most of the pieces, but we did manage to pull some that we think we'd buy...You can decide for yourself.

The line will be available in stores and online September 13 through October 17.

Will YOU be buying it?
