Kate Moss is continuing her relationship with Topshop and debuted her Holiday collection at a runway show recently. Here’s my preview:

trend - yikes?

Overall, it’s a professional, in-step collection. And for the prices I hear of (Topshop is British, alas), $70 to $500, it’s not to miss! The clothes hit stores October 25th. Just a few days away!

Wherever you live, the trench coat is so seasonal, now or soon. If you want the best in style and class, Burberry’s a no-brainer. I love their subtler Metallic Trench Coat with black on metallic black jacquard check. Something this chic doesn’t come cheap, though, at $995.

There’s some serious worse news though, because it seems all of the rich northern hemisphere has spoken on this coat. I say if you’ve got some credit, and are the lone size 10, you must make this your fall season charge.

There’s more cuteness for Autumn from Burberry, too. If the British range is out of yours, don’t worry, practically any trench is flattering, just don’t squeeze or swim in a wrong size.

There’s no crime in copying Marc Jacobs when his Marc by Marc Jacobs line uses LEGO brand brick toys!

Find LEGO-made accessories on Etsy.com, like from new seller, Kasi Made This.

Or you can make your own! Get creative.

 What happened to Vera Wang’s skills as a top wedding gown designer? Her entire collection for Spring/Summer 2008 is a bunch of *Sad Sacks*! It’s like “burlap chic” with better fabrics but equally bad colours, oh and sans chic. *Snort* Puh-leaze! Next!

Um, since when does NY Fashion Week start on a Wednesday? My bad, I didn’t even know what today’s date was. I’m so out of it since I got out of school, but luckily now I have plenty of time for reporting the catwalk!

OK so I honestly didn’t GET why Gwen Stefani has been respected for fashion design - I didn’t see her as more than a celebresigner. That was until I saw her Spring 2008 collection for L.A.M.B.

Now since when is Gwen Stefani, miss Harijuku-ex No Doubt-Mrs. Rossdale - preppy? (Unfortunately I see Autumn as the preppy season, not Spring. But it’s my fave look, so I won’t complain too much.) Well, her collection was delightfully preppy-youth-hip and her models still looked sexy, funky and cool. Hats off! (Seriously, take that hat off!)

Now one may still see the clothes as still on the teen-music-scene side, but when you see the dresses, it’s all over—you give in. Gwen’s a good designer, and this collection is fantastic. I may even already have my favorite of high fashion Spring 2008. Oh Gwen, come over to H&M real quick, okay?

By the way, it wouldn’t do to tell you how those dresses rock with class, so here are a couple photos!
