Take a look at the new face of John Galliano’s latest perfume:

It’s Taylor Momsen. You may recognize her as the actress who plays Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl, or as the front woman for The Pretty Reckless.

Taylor is also signed to IMG, and has modeled for Madonna’s Material Girl collection and New Look. Earlier this year, she helped Victoria’s Secret launch their Love Rocks fragrance collection:

Gossip Girl started filming Season Four in Paris this week:

^Not Chuck Bass…

Note the straw hats Serena wears. They’re very “on trend.”

NEXT: What They Wore to Glastonbury

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on June 28, 2010
I thought Glastonbury was everyone’s favorite excuse to whip out the Hunter wellies…

.

Not anymore.
Apparently, leather Christian Louboutin boots and Louis Vuitton corset tops are the way to go:

NEXT: Christie’s London Rock & Pop Auction

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on June 27, 2010
“A caricature by John Lennon of the singer and his wife, Yoko Ono, drawn during their 1969 ‘bed-in’ in Montreal, Canada has sold for £37,250. The piece, part of a rock and pop sale at Christie’s in London, was created during their peace protest at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel.

.

.

.

A guitar used by Pete Townshend, of The Who, fetched a top price of £49,250. The Gibson SG guitar- part of the largest collection of Who memorabilia ever auctioned- was used on The Who’s 1971 tour.
.
^Same guitar, in an earlier Sotheby’s auction catalogue. Notice the estimated value for the 1997 auction was £12,000-15,000.
The recent estimated value for the 2010 Christie’s auction was £20,000-30,000.
The actual hammer price was just over £49,000.
Jealous.

.

.

A  jacket worn by Michael Jackson also fetched £22,500 on the eve of the first anniversary of his death. Jackson’s black sequin stage jacket had a pre-sale estimate of just £2,000.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, a Les Paul guitar smashed by Steve Jones, of the Sex Pistols, at a gig at London’s 100 Club, sold for £16,250.”

NEXT: Alexander Wang Resort 2011 Inspired by Kate Moss

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on June 5, 2010
I looked over the new Alexander Wang Resort 2011 collection earlier today, and thought there was something vaguely Kate Moss about it:

Same top:

.

.

Similar top:

.

.

Similar top:

.

.

Long sheer dress:

.

.

Similar shoes:

.

And to prove I’m not grasping at straws…
All the Alexander Wang models have the exact same hair style Kate Moss had in a 1990 Corinne Day photoshoot. It’s easier to see the braids on the brunette model:

.

It’s just too weird to be a coincidence.

NEXT: Kristen Stewart’s ELLE UK Shoot

Posted in By Em, NEXT by styleinspades on June 2, 2010
Because you asked so nicely…
My opinion of the latest ELLE Magazine UK photoshoot:
Wool & silk dress by Prada”
.
The dress is alright. I can see how Anne-Marie Curtis may have been trying to create an interesting contrast between Kristen’s tomboy mannerisms and the super girly ruffle dress. Actually, most of the looks in this shoot are soft and feminine.

.

“Beaded cashmere cardigan by Clements Ribeiro. Suede and metal shorts by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Wool socks by Prada.”

.

Suede and metal 3.1 Phillip Lim shorts sound like a good idea, but as you can see from the photo, they’re a little awkward.  Both the most interesting and least flattering photo of the bunch.

.

“Wool playsuit by Vanessa Bruno. Wool socks by Prada.”

.

Love all the Prada socks.

.

Silk top and tweed skirt, both Dolce & Gabbana. Wool socks by Vanessa Bruno.
.
The prints and textures don’t exactly go together, but they work for a photoshoot. If this was printed in color I think it would have been too busy.
.
Wool jumper, leather and wool shorts and leather belt, all by D&G. Wool socks by Vanessa Bruno.
.
I love this jewel tone look. The shorts are a bit strange (and I have a feeling that if she was posed in any other way, they would like like a diaper), but the outfit as a whole is very interesting and the materials look luxe.
