Don't blame the economy.

It's funny how the economy has 'changed' how people dress and how people intend on spending. Frankly, it might sound shallow but unless you are one of those financiers or financial wives/girlfriends in the gutters (which I'm hoping you aren't), you should really continue to sip that Moet and Perrier with pride. For once, forget about conservative fashion and throw on a sequinned Sonia Rykiel beret, a hand printed silk beaded Balmain or Erdem dress and a pair of outrageous heels, preferably by Louboutin or Miu Miu. Extra kudos to you if you can get your hands onto a pair by Charlotte Olympia.
Fashion is about expression and its time to rebute against the tragic economy and more tragic wardrobe choices. Fashion is just too fun for moments like those.

Celebrity trend: Tailored dress, updo and cape combo.

A Modern day Holly Golightly look. Just add some Tiffany silver.

New designers at Net-a-porter.

Here are some of our favourite designers that have just arrived onto Net-a-porter.

VICTORIA BECKHAM:
Stop swooning and start saving for a piece of Victoria Beckham, now online at Net-a-porter. I honestly cannot stop staring at the fabulous tailoring and luxe fabrics. Vicky Beckham has just made it into my list of "favourite celebrities turned designers". Any thoughts?

JASON WU:
After Michelle Obama wore a dazzling white one shoulder gown by Jason Wu at the official Inaugural party, there were many positive and negative comments about the dress. Oh well, Net-a-porter has picked up Wu and this has just proven that all publicity is good publicity.

DESIGNERS REMIX:
I love, love, love this label! The designs have elements of chic, runway and haute couture at a surprisingly affordable (but still slightly expensive) price. Inspired by fabric textures and the creation of origami pieces for the garment designs, this label has got to be one of my top favourites right now.

BALMAIN:
After the success of the Spring/Summer 08 show, who wouldn't fall in love with the luxe eighties inspired pieces by Balmain? Expect fitted blazers and edgy ripped denim complete with diamantes and intricate beading. A win-win combination, any day.

Naturally there is more wonderful designers who have just been picked up but we promise to get back to it soon...I mean, it's now officially obvious that we have some serious online shopping to do right now.
