Kids Playing Fashionistas

Don't get confused. This is not about the Beckham, Brangelina or Cruise's offspring who have

gained a spot on the hungry-for-icons press and the uncertain "little fashionistas" title. This is better.

The Coveteur relaunches and, as any relaunchment, they needed a video to go viral and spread the news. What came from that is this funny video where the most actual fashionistas are played by adorable little counterparts. In the video you can sneak into a young A-list party attended by everyone who is everyone in the fashion industry. 

The always needed it-editors Taylor Tomasi Hill and Anna Dello Russo strike a pose with their ellaborated outfits with Tommy Tom taking their pictures while Leigh Lezark djs and bloggers such as Susie Bubble or The Man Repeller compete to see who reports the party faster on their social media. No need to say, mini Karl Lagerleld had to attend with his inseparable Choupette.

I'll Make It Clear

2007 Collections, image from Kingdom of Style

Clear plastic is a material that has been used during several years -probably since 2007-

in collections by many designers to add an audacious detail to collections. It started just being

used in bags -Karl Lagerfeld was one of the precursors with his vinyl bags for Fendi and Chanel-.

But slowly, despite of being a material more relevant for raincoats and umbrellas,

plastic has started taking over shoes and many other pieces of clothing.

Plastic details and pieces are being more and more present in recent collections. Prada's Spring

2010 shoes and bags, Hussein Chalayan's bubbles dress, Céline's cloudy trench and 3.1

Phillip Lim's Spring 2012, just to name some. Latex, perspex, PVC, vinyl... almost every

designer has had an affair with plastic transparency, and now it is getting to the street style.

Susie Bubble, regular blogger of this trend

The boldest style stars like The Man Repeller, Susie Bubble or Vika Gazinskaya -let alone

Lady Gaga- have dared to accomodate this risky trend to their daily outfits with success.

So if you want to try how life in plastic is like too, you have a wide range of choices.

From watches and jewelry to flats, and even a clear Bitching and Junk Food skirt,

just like the one London's singer Lianne La Havas wore in one of her videos.

From top to bottom, from left to right:

Schurich small wallet, Topshop's rain coat, Deborah Lippmann nail polish,

Valentino clutch, Walmart's backpack, Miriam Salat ring, Maison Martin Margiela

ankle boots, Chanel clutch, Cutler & Gross optical glasses, NYC lip gloss, Topshop

VAST point shoes, Marni hat, Debenham's glitter sandals, Charlotte Olympia

box clutch, Prada slides, Macy's ballet flats, Debenham's bangle, Kenzo

bucket bag, Totes umbrella, Timex watch,  Modcloth sunglasses.

The Man Repeller

She's one of my favourite personal style bloggers so far. Not only she has a fresh and singular taste for clothes and outfits, but it's mainly for that funny and quirky thing she has.

A smile is always welcome, and not taking yourself extremely seriously as well, which in my opinion a mistake many egobloggers make. Leandra Medine doesn't have just a great and edgy fashion sense - and an impressive closet! - she has an even better sense of humour.

You can notice it all over her blog, tumblr or twitter.
