Fashion and Music

Fashion and music have always had a close connection, from the iconic moment when Kate Moss joined former lover Pete Doherty on stage to sing ‘La belle et la bête’ during a Babyshambles gig, to Carla Bruni hanging up her supermodel stilettos to take to the folk stage. Many brands have capitalised in the natural collaboration between music and fashion, by designing stage outfits. Roberto Cavalli was the designer behind the Spice Girls comeback tour creations, and Frida Giannini, of Gucci, designed the beautiful ethereal dresses for Florence and the Machine’s latest US tour.

Paco Rabanne Black XS are the most recent brand to jump on the bandwagon by teaming up with Universal Music to bring us 'Be A Rockstar'. This unique music platform, www.be-a-rockstar.com, is packed with exclusive music content and one of the largest catalogues of artisits in the world. Have you ever wanted to live like a rockstar? The fame, the parties, travelling around the world - well, upload your picture on www.be-a-rockstar.com/uk/experience and make your rock 'n roll dreams come true!

Black XS are giving fans the opportunity to 'go backstage' with bands like Cold War Kids, Two Door Cinema Club and Kaiser Chiefs with the Black XS Off Shows, a series of nine episodes which will be airing towards the end of the year on www.be-a-rockstar.com and the Black XS YouTube channel. You'll be able to see what being a rockstar is really like - the good and the bad all in one.

I haven’t smelt the fragrance but to be honest - most of the gigs that I have been to have been full of sweaty adolescents; so any fragrance that improves the smell of these ‘too cool to wash’ kids gets my vote.

Gucci and Fiat 500 Collaboration

Happy birthday to Gucci and Italy! Gucci celebrates its astonishing 90^th year, and Italy, its relatively young landmark, 150^th year of its unification! Both Gucci and Italy are close to my heart as my mother is Milanese, and I have always admired the Italian fashion house.

What better way to celebrate than the collaboration between two iconic Italian brands, which are renowned both for their style, and being quintessentially Italian. (Yes, I too was shocked to hear about a collaboration that didn’t include either Karl Lagerfeld or Henry Holland!)

The celebration comes in the form of a special edition Fiat 500 that Gucci’s Creative Director, Frida Giannini designed herself. This meeting of minds ultimately makes the Fiat 500 a product of the perfect Italian design DNA.

The car is very classic and chic, and is designed with the modern motorist in mind. The Fiat 500 isa stylish and minimalist just like the Gucci S/S 11 catwalk collection (below). It’s a combination of clean lines, and both a neutral palette, and this summer’s hottest trend: colour blocking.

I’d love to have this on a driving tour around the Italian Lakes!
