Style Icon: Florence Broadhurst

You might not have heard of Florence Broadhurst, but chances are you will have seen her maximalist patterns gracing everything from wallpaper and cushions to dresses and Vespas. The story of the Australian design doyenne's life - and death - is fascinating (read more here) and thanks to the people at Signature Prints her legacy has been kept alive. New York label Kate Spade are bringing a whole host of products featuring Broadhurst's patterns in 2012 too, so we'll be seeing a whole lot more of Florence in the coming months.

Hermes Bleaus D'Allieurs Tableware

I don't have the sort of lifestyle that requires a Porcelain dinner set - especially one with an Hermes pricetag - but the new Bleus D'Allieurs range is at the top of my lust list right now. I'm also loving the window displays by talented set designer Sarah Illenberger at Hermes' Berlin store see below). They're entirely made of paper. You can view more of her work here.

Rick Genest for Dermablend - Go Beyond the Cover

Prada Menswear Autumn 11 - Loving the Lurex!!

Who says that men shouldn't sparkle too? Ok, so admittedly not many guys will be able to able to carry off these Prada pullovers, but, as the saying goes a little goes a long way. I've slurged on a subtly sparkly sapphire blue tie which looks precious, intriguing and just eye-catching enough.

Rhianna We Found Love Video by Milena Matsoukas

I'm OBSESSED with the video to accompany RiRi's We Found Love. It elevates a so-so pop song to another level. The promo was directed by the super talented Milena Matsoukas, who also created the iconic video for Rude Boy. Matsoukas is a graduate of the American Film Institute and New York University and has worked with everyone from Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez to Snoop Dog and Jay Z. That's not to say that her videos cost mega-bucks or necessarily use expensive equipment. What they have in common is a strong, compelling narrative and juicy images that ping off the screen. I'll let the lady herself have the final say: "A good video has the right visuals, a well conceptualised story and should be exciting and elicit reaction." watch the video below:
