I have a new favourite brand at the moment: Gio Goi clothes. This brand is setting trends all around the world with their bold, funky and striking designs. If you’ve never heard of Gio Goi clothes before, you really should check them out. They design men’s and ladies clothing and there is something for everyone in their fashionable designer clothing ranges.
When you stumble across a new brand, you don’t often know its going to be on-trend enough for that particular season. What i love about Gio Goi clothes though is that they transcend and push the fashion boundaries every season, making sure that their ranges are super-hot and super stylish. Here in the UK, there are many Gio Goi clothing fans, and it really is an demand brand.
Gio Goi is only available in select retailers, but i found a really great UK online retailer stocking this brand – check them out here: GIO GOI
So, the word on the street is that Gucci is going to be the name on everyone’s lips this year. I have my trusted sources telling me that the Gucci range this year is going to be streets ahead of other names, and it is definitely the designer brand to be buying.
From the clothes to the bags, Gucci is going to be everywhere in 2009. The celebrities will be dripping in the finest couture and making us mere mortals positively drool at the sight of the Gucci branding. My suggestion is to start saving now; maybe treat yourself to one of those gorgeous bags or a purse to replace the one that is looking just that little bit tired – the choice is yours, but the designer name is a given.
The best thing about Gucci is that it is perfect for so many different age groups – from the discerning lady to the young gent, Gucci is classic elegance that reflects timeless designs and quirky styling.
If you’ve always fancied indulging in a piece of couture, then why wait? Check out the new Spring / Summer 09 collection online at Gucci now.
Okay, so when i saw that picture of Coleen Rooney in that stunning Lanvin ruffle top, i thought “wow – this is hot!”.
Lanvin is a clothing company founded by Jeanne Lanvin in 1909.
Jeanne Lanvin’s successors include Antonio del Castillo, Dominique Morlotti, Jules-Francois Crahay, Maryll Lanvin, Claude Montana and Patrick Lavoix. Their work has successfully immortalised a very Parisian, elegant couture style. (Source: http://www.infomat.com/whoswho/jeannelanvin.html)
Today, Lanvin’s designs are chic and elegant. It is almost hard to believe that a once velour tracksuit loving chav like Coleen Rooney has managed to turn this all around and become a force to be reckoned with in the fashionista stakes. When i saw her wearing that lush burnt orange Lanvin ruffle top, i thought it looked stunning on her tanned complexion.
The same top in a different colour also appeared on fellow WAG Alex Curran (now Gerard). So which WAG pulled it off better? Well, personally, i think Coleen did. However, normally i would say Alex is better dressed.

And celebrities in Lanvin doesn’t stop here my fashionista friends! Kate Hudson was also pictured in a gorgeous blue Lanvin dress. Was it the right colour for her? Well, many will say yes, but i think it was a little too heavy on her pale skin. A lighter blue would have looked much less “bulky” on her. Still a gorgeous dress though!
As for my favourite Lanvin piece, i think Natalie Portman has found it! This season, purple is the hottest colour to be seen in and she looks simply stunning in this unusual Lanvin creation.
I remember when Coleen Rooney was younger and she was just getting into her designer clothes. I remember seeing her parade around in her bright fluorescent Juicy Couture tracksuits and Ugg Boots, and she thought she was the height of fashion.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long until she saw the light and she started dressing like a WAG dripping in proper Couture. Gone were the Juicy Couture tracksuits, replaced with stylish fitted dresses and designs hot off the catwalk. It was then that we started to respect her (and became a little bit envious…).

Here she is in her wine coloured Juicy Couture tracksuit and white Mukluk boots, made from innocent bunnies. Regret this photo, Coleen?
Despite Coleen rapidly realising that the bright tracksuit look is soooo not “on trend”, many people still love Juicy Couture and all it offers. In fact, in America, the Juicy Couture tracksuit doesn’t have the same connotation that it does over here. In Britain, if you are seen sporting one of these velour tracksuits, you are inevitably tarnished with the “chav” name, because there are so many cheap imitations available these days, and who can tell the difference? Well, if you are a hardcore Juicy Couture fan, then there is no doubt that you will be able to spot the trademark “J” zipper, which is unique to Juicy and should indicate it is the real deal.
So, as far as Juicy Couture is concerned, i am sure we will continue seeing the hype, but I am curious to know if that will still apply to the novelty tracksuits that people seem to love.

Right now, there is nothing ‘hotter’ than being seen in the latest designer clothes. The magazines litter their pages with the latest must haves, whether it be designer shoes, designer bags or that wonderful piece of designer clothing. But why pay the prices? It is becoming ever more apparent that the high street stores can beat the designer prices and create rather good replicas of our favourite designer brands.
Magazines are promoting this, just looking at the back of the Daily Mail Weekend magazine will show any clothing addict how to dress to impress for a reasonable price. £1500 for a designer dress? Why pay that when you can have an imitation from Topshop. It’s personal preference at the end of the day, but with the credit crunch hitting us hard, maybe more of us will be heading down the high street store route.
Primark are also offering the latest designer clothing trends at affordable prices. But then one must question whether we have to compromise on the quality as a result. For Fast Fashion though, Primark and Topshop deliver the goods. Maybe you want designer shoes? From past experiences, Primark don’t tend to keep their shoe ranges as ‘on trend’ as their clothing ranges, but then you can’t have everything! If you are paying less for a dress maybe you can afford to invest a little of your hard earned cash on some expensive designer shoes. Or a rather ’snazzy’ designer handbag. The choice is yours. Fashion at affordable prices is everywhere.
As long as there are celebrities to aspire to, women will want what they have, so for some ladies – and equally some rather fastidious men – designer clothes are a must have. People want to feel good, and sometimes a designer label can help lift the spirits and boost the profile.
It’s easy to find where to buy the latest designer clothes. If you don’t want to pay the hefty price tags but still want to look like a designer goddess, then you can find some great options for star style at a cheaper price.
