Best buy: Gap’s soft, fairytale-print bra by Sasha Pivovarova

More on Models Who Paint, Sasha Pivovarova has waved her watercolour brush over a capsule collection of undies and loungewear for Gap. I’m always on the hunt for pretty soft-cup bras in teeny sizes to wear under my growing collection of cream Equipment blouses and white Cos shirts. So far I’ve had a bit of success with Cos and Myla and I have my eye on some eye-popping Deborah Marquit. I’ll definitely be giving Pivovarova’s fairytale print bra a whirl – it’s 100% silk, comes with matching bottoms and is available in Gap stores.

Here’s Pivovarova in another piece from the collection, photographed by husband Igor Vishnyakov ‘while they relaxed in Bali’. As you do…

SS12 trend report: Harvey Nichols gets Kirchhoffed

I’ve been on a bit of a press days sabbatical this season. PRs have not only spread SS12 press days across October, November and December (back in the day, it was just October), but generally had more events and launches than ever before. I guess competition for press and bloggers’ attention is fiercer than ever but it’s had the opposite effect; instead of ramping up my attendance and coverage, I’ve bailed out altogether. (more…)

Quote of the day

“Kim Kardashian is real. That’s what girls look like today. It’s a very huge, cultural part of what is going on, and the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, it’s a very big part of what we’re seeing…as important as Lady Gaga is to a 15-year-old. So all of these things, I take in. I’m not a snob going, ‘What’s that?’ because that is real. And that is how women want to look. It’s a very important style statement, and that will go into my library of style and I will take that somewhere.”
