The ALDO Rise fashion programme invests in emerging designers, assisting them with producing their shows and creating the perfect shoes for their collections.

Irish designer J.W. Anderson’s collection is a particular favourite, as there’s something a little bit ‘Manolo meets Cote d’Azur’ about these slim, elegant and slightly eccentric heels.

The contrasting textures of leather, cotton and eyelet detailing are inspired by J.W. Anderson’s Spring Summer 2012 collection.  Many of the shoes reflect the designs of the garments very closely, so they’re a great, affordable way to get a piece of the collection.

The colourful, tribal cocktail hour sandals are real future classics and the fringed heel of synthetic swan feathers make them even more covetable.  They are set to be a party staple for the summer, although we might spot them even earlier on some freezing fashionista feet at London Fashion Week next week!

J.W. Anderson for ALDO Rise is available now at Young British Designers and Selfridges, and at ALDO from 8 March.

These opulent pieces of ‘bottle jewellery’ comes in either rose gold or yellow gold metal.  The decorative bottle sleeves are detachable, so you can reuse them as part of your ‘out to impress’ tableware.

Lara Bohinc says: “It’s really exciting to team up with a wine brand that has allowed me such creative freedom. We’re designing a range of products that will bring theatre to the dinner table, allowing me to take my work into a completely new area.”

Galliano’s stunning graffiti reflects London’s quintessentially cool style and pays tribute to a long, supportive relationship with magazine.

To avoid the wrath of Boris, Galliano has used ‘reversed graffiti’, an effect achieved by creating a stencil, then pressure washing the surface beneath it.  The graffiti will soon fade away with the London grime and weather, so to catch a glimpse of this unique ‘fashion moment’, you’ll have to act quick.

ELLE challenges readers to hunt down all 10 graffiti venues and clues can be found on the ELLE website, www.elleuk.com/25thbirthday.  The first person to spot all of the graffiti will win a once in a lifetime prize – a handmade piece of artwork made by Galliano himself, which was the inspiration for an ELLE cover in 2009.

The extremely covetable artwork is typically flamboyant and uses feather, leather and more fabulous textures.

Here is a list of clues to help you discover the graffiti locations and get closer to the unique Galliano gift…

1. Contemporary art locale and address of ELLE’s exclusive 25^th birthday party
2. The hottest street in London to head for a curry
3. The home of London Fashion Week and a place to get your skates on in winter
4. Where Napoleon did surrender (and catch a train to Portsmouth)
5. London’s riverside cultural mecca
6. Dedicated followers of fashion still flock to this birthplace of 1960s chic
7. A street performer-packed piazza in the heart of theatre land
8. Escape the pandemonium of Oxford Street in this quiet boutique-filled oasis
9. Where Jimmy Choo and Harold Tillman cut their teeth
10. ELLE lives here

If you’re the lucky winner, take a snap of your Galliano artwork and send it to cheriecity@hotmail.com

Opening the first day at London Fashion Week with his SS11 Incendiata show, in association with Barclays, Jean-Pierre Braganza pays tribute to the partnership by designing a limited edition print to feature on a select fleet of cycles.

Known for their uniform blue frames, Jean-Pierre Braganza has injected some cool London style into the Barclays Cycle Hire bikes and no doubt there will be queues to ride a Braganza bike up and down Kingsway, come fashion week.

Jean-Pierre Braganza says: “I’m genuinely excited to be part of this initiative.  As a very keen cyclist in London, Barclays Cycle Hire offers the freedom to explore the city worry-free.”

He adds: “By customising a bike for London Fashion Week I hope to indicate the inspiration travel has provided in my work, and highlights that everyone can, and should, explore and discover our city.”

Jean-Pierre Braganza has even cited “mystical bikes” as inspiration for his upcoming collection, alongside “legends of ravens and Heavy Metal whispered softly by faeries.”

I’m curious to see how the collection will connect with the free-spirited idea of voyaging and exploring that is made possible through cycling.  With such an innovative collaboration, Jean-Pierre Braganza’s opening show at ON/OFF is set to be one of the highlights of the schedule.

But as if that wasn’t enough, starting from tomorrow, Liberty will be unveiling their next capsule collection with affordable American label, Target.  Fashion mag addicts will already be aware of Target’s long-time designer collaborations (currently Jean-Paul Gaultier, followed by Zac Posen) at high street prices.  How many of us have actually considered reconnecting with long-lost American pals to try and bag a limited edition Thakoon dress or Anya Hindmarch tote…hmmm?

The partnership with Liberty sees Target’s most diverse collection yet, as their past designer ranges have focused mostly on fashion and accessories.

The Liberty for Target range is set to include floral printed lifestyle and outdoor items such as watering cans, girly gardening accessories, stationery and THE coolest bicycle (although on the sample picture it appears to have no brakes…yikes)!

Bicycle £175

The adorable homeware collection includes everything you need for a Mad Hatter’s tea party such as picnic plates, cake stands, tumblers and tea pots, as well as piggy banks, storage boxes, trays and picture frames.

There is also a covetable range of fashion accessories such as wellie boots, skinny hair bands, flip flops and vinyl tote bags – perfect f0r zapping some Springtime cheer into your wardrobe!

Cake Stand £25

Liberty and Target have worked with renowned British fashion photographer Tim Walker on the international print ad campaign. The advert has a vivid, bohemian, Indian summer feel and really expresses Liberty’s fusion of Far Eastern and English Eccentric style.

Melamine Dinner Plate £6, Salad Plate £5 & Cereal Bowl £5

The flora and fauna prints have been sourced from Liberty’s extensive art print archive and they work extremely well emblazoned over Target’s contemporary designs.

Flower Power is as uplifting today as it was in 1960s Carnaby Street (Liberty’s all-time home) and the collaboration celebrates Liberty’s 50 years as London’s most creative and well-loved department store.

Gloves £10, Gardening Tools £28 & Piggy Bank £15

The Target range offers an amazing opportunity to get your hands on limited edition pieces made from your favourite Liberty of London prints at a lower price.  The only problem is, it’s going to be hard not to walk away with the whole collection!

The Liberty for Target range is available at online from 12 March and in store from 29 March.

The body lotion has been tipped as the perfect Mother’s Day and you can also feel a bit smug that it’s so exclusive, that it’s only available in the UK.

You may recognise Kate Moross’ work from her t-shirt collaboration with Topshop, her apocalyptic East London club night posters or if you’re a proper muso, the Young Turks skeleton in a Fez hat logo.

At just 23, Kate has an enviably diverse portfolio and has even worked with major clients like Dairy Milk, Nike Dunks and Sony Walkman.  Her illustrations have also featured in NYLON, Dazed & Confused, FACT magazine and on Oyster Card holders for Guardian Jobs.

If you missed out on Kate Moross for TOPSHOP, you can buy printed tees, tote bags, necklaces and records from her Isomorph label at her Big Cartel shop.

Kate Moross for Kiehls Creme de Corps body lotion is available now, only in the UK.   Shop online at Space NK

Handcrafted by rehabstudio, NataschaStolle.com is more than just an online lookbook, it is a reflection of her cool, kooky design philosophy, with a nod to her awkward teen muses.

Natascha Stolle won the inaugural rehabstudio Design Award in collaboration with Fashion East and her prize was to have a bespoke website created by rehabstudio.

The homepage opens with on an Americana-style prom scene, but the smooching couples and sea of meringue ball gowns have been replaced with Natascha’s troupe of unamused geek chic girls.  The scene is dimmed and you can move the spotlight over each of the girls, who then pose, shrug their shoulders or check their watch.  The models were sketched in 2D, dressed in key pieces from Natascha’s past collections10 collection and shot on video.

The black and white sketches were produced by renowned illustrator Charlotte Mann and brought to life by rehabstudio’s digital creatives, bringing animation with the user’s mouse movements.

Natascha said: “By combining the cut and paste approach of Charlotte Mann’s signature black line illustrations of girls wearing my clothes, with the humorous and highly personal environment that rehabstudio have creatively animated for the girls to inhabit, they have engineered a website unlike any I have ever seen before and I can’t wait for everyone else to see it!”

Although the design is really sophisticated, the website is easy to navigate, with everything you could hope to find – past and present collections, press coverage, latest news, international stockists, a bio and contact info.

American designer Natascha Stolle studied English Literature at university before moving to London and gaining a placement with Peter Jensen, with whom she stayed for 10 years.  After graduating from Central St Martin’s Fashion Design M.A course in 2008, she was snapped up by Fashion East founder Lulu Kennedy and in September 2008 her debut SS09 collection was showcased at London Fashion Week.

Natascha has worked with Asos on an exclusive collection of luxe jersey, chiffon wide-leg trousers and bangle detail leather gloves, and has consulted for b Store.  She also exhibited as part of NEWGEN at London Fashion Week, in Somerset House’s East Wing.

Her Autumn/Winter 10-11 grey marl, jersey, twisted chiffon leggings, knotted jersey, slouchy tailoring, rainbow smudge prints, and funnily enough, studded mules – perhap’s they’ll be next season’s clogs!

So, for Spring/Summer 10, Daisy was invited to bring her ideas and design skills to create a limited edition, three-piece collection for Swarovski Crystallized.   The rather mystical pieces incorporate star and moon charms in jet black, midnight blue and emerald shades.

Daisy took inspired from the elements and the result is a collection of seductive and pretty pieces that can be worn day or night.

Last night, Daisy celebrated the collection at her launch party at Swarovski Crystallized on Great Marlborough Street, in partnership with Ponystep.  Toasting the collection were fellow model friends Tolula Adeyemi and Ben Grimes, the Weller kids and lots of fashion folk.

Prices range from £52 to £90 and very appropriately, 20% of the proceeds will go to Climate Concern.  The collection is so hotly anticipated that there’s actually a waiting list!  Hopefully it will be a bit easier to get your hands on than Daisy’s mate Alexa Chung’s metal skull necklace for MADE that sold out quicker than a flash…it’s still a sore point for me!

Daisy Lowe for Swarovski Crystallized is available in stores from 19 January.

The Azzaro collection, designed by Vanessa Seward, is full of bold, simple and sparkly pieces in silver and gold.  One of the main pieces is a vintage-style black and silver shell locket necklace with a chain tassel.  It reminds me of something from Titanic and it would look amazing with a silk, drop-waist evening dress.

My personal favourites from the Azzaro collection are a blingtastic crystal encrusted wave cuff and slim bangles with rows of tiny crystals.

I was blown away by the new collection by French jewellery designer Philippe Ferrandis and would put every single piece on my wish list (mysterious benefactor, take note please).

I’m not sure what most of the stones are, to be honest, so I’ll let you judge the pictures for yourself….

I love the contrast between the iridescent white flower and the spiky crystals on the ring and earrings.  They look quite Japanese and futuristic – perfect for the winter snow queen look.

The pearl and emerald necklace and earrings have a vintage, Jazz Age feel and are priced between around £250 and £500.

The new ready-to-wear collection is inspired by the fresh, clear light of a Scandinavian summer.  Pieces incorporate oval spheres and interchangeable pendants in subtle, neutral colours.  The silk cord necklaces reflect the beach element and they will go perfectly with next season’s nudes.

The mainline collection featured some pretty affordable pearls for under £20 and everyone was fawning over the stretchy crystal bracelets that you can stack up, costing just £10!

We were also treated to a sneak peak at the exclusive Daisy Lowe collection that she designed with the Creative Director.  The pieces are typical Daisy with black, green and silver stars and moons – flirty but a little bit dark and mystical.

All collections are available from January at the Swarovski Crystallized store.

Swarovski Crystallized 25 Great Marlborough Street, London, W1F 7HU.
