I loved the coral nails and lips on Peter Copping's NR catwalk and I am currently trying to find out what they used, will update you when I find out.

OMG!

I'm not usually in favour of using such youthful slang abbreviations but in this case I felt it was the only words/letters I had.
My favourite collection of the new Cruise/Resort/Pre-Coll/whatever they're calling comes from Peter Copping at Nina Ricci.

I LOVE LOVE!!

I bought the third issue today and I love it!
It's fresh, fun, glossy, sexy, stylish and full of some great editorials and interviews.
The naked shots of the 8 supermodels have been available to view on various sites but the best bits were still to come.
Oscar de La Renta speaks with Rachel Zoe, Luella has a chat with Stella McCartney, Marc Jacobs gossips with Andre Walker.
Peter Copping, Calvin Klein, Guido Palau, Donatella Versace, Azzedine Alaia, Pat McGrath, the list is endless...
The issue is packed full of editorials and is an absolute delight.
So I apologise for my sniffy remarks about it not living up to expectations, whilst I am still not wholly impressed with issues 1 and 2, Katie Grand and her team have produced a blinding third issue!
I wish I could post everything up but the best thing I can say is go buy it!

Up close and personal

During Paris Fashion Week I was lucky enough to be invited to look around the Nina Ricci showroom after their SS2010 show.
Having spent 12 years as Marc Jacobs right hand man at Louis Vuitton, this is Peter Copping's first full collection after his well received resort collection (which can be seen on the Nina Ricci website and in store now).
Peter took us round each piece of the collection, showing us the fabrics, details and work that has gone into each garment. I had already seen bits on Vogue but was not expecting to be so blown away by the intricacy and beauty of the collection. It was possibly some of the most amazing clothing I have ever seen.
Lamé, lace, embossed jersey, mother of pearl poppers, bows, ruffles, chiffon, floral and neutral colours.
Unfortunately, this will probably be reflected in the prices when it hits the shops.
I didn't manage to take any photos whilst there but go to Vogue or Style to see more from the collection.
