Fashion at the Oscars.

British film Slumdog Millionaire made a huge impression at the Oscars last night, winning 8 golden gongs. Kate Winslet got the recognition she deserves after winning 'best actress' for her role in as Hanna Schmitz in 'The Reader', but it was Kates outfit that made a huge impression on all fashion lovers out there!

Kate attended The Oscars in a gorgeous grey silk, Yves Saint Laurent gown, complimented by silver diamante jewellery. The dress was perfect for her figure, and the one shoulder proved very this season. The gorgeous grey colour is certainly one i'll be looking out for in the next party outfit i buy.
Winslet wasn't the only one who stunned on the red carpet. Accompanying her was Meryl Streep (nominated for Doubt) who opted for a complimenting light grey satin Alberta Ferretti piece.

'Rachel Getting Married' nominee Anne Hathaway shone in Armani Privé. While Angelina Jolie wore a black Elie Saab frock. Jolie went for the classic strapless floorlengh style, which never fails to flatter.

The celebs definitely impressed on the red carpet this year! The biggest trend being, strapless dresses among the women. Nude hues were a popular choice, but jewel tones of ruby, amethyst and sapphire were the night's biggest winners.

As for the men, they also made the usual effort to handsomely dress up. Both Daniel Craig, and Brad Pitt chose to style themselves in Tom Ford. While ‘Best Actor Winner’ Sean Penn, wore gorgeous Armani.

Oxfam making it big!

It has been revealed that charity shop Oxfam are wanting to follow in the footsteps of big fashion names like, Stella McCartney and Armani.
Wanting to put themselves on the fashion map, Oxfam are looking for an edgy, stylish new upcoming model to promote their campaign, and it could be any of us!
It has been advertised in British Vouge, and on the Vouge website, that they are looking for an upcoming model to be the face of thier new campaign.
Now, it's obvious to all of us thier are alot of upcoming models out there who have their sights set on modelling for big brands. Are they going to settle for charity shops?
Oxfam are appealing to upcoming models across the country to come to the casting at a secret London location, on February 20th. To be considered you have to first apply via email to the Oxfam team. (The link can be found on vouge.co.uk).
The new campaign will be styled by internationally acclaimed stylist Mrs Jones, creator of looks for The Killers, Scissor Sisters, Kylie and Goldfrapp.
'Every artist I have worked with has had an Oxfam reworked piece. I don't think there's one good fashion designer that hasn't been to Oxfam and been inspired by one thing or another,' reveals Mrs Jones.
Sounding more appealing ey? Jourdan Dunn, Jamie Winstone and Cat Deely fronted a new look Oxfam campaign last week, and as you'd be being styled by a major designer, it really is a once in a lifetime oppotunity. I think it'd be a huge for any aspiring model out there. My mum always told me, keep your foot in many doors, and take all the chances you can get. So get yourself out their girls! What have you got to lose?
