      New York Fashion Week's front row seat

      The hardcore fashion fans among you will know that New York Fashion Week, showing the first of the new spring/summer 2012 collections, kicks off tomorrow (September 8). And now Youtube is live-streaming the catwalk action via it’s Liverunway website, there’s no excuse for any of us not to be ahead of the fashion curve come summer. Our personal not-to-be-missed tip is the return of Helmut Lang to the catwalk. But if, like us, you’d prefer to be sleeping than staying up to catch your favourite designers in real time, there’s also plenty of post-show features, and behind-the-scenes details, including round-ups of the new season trends. What's not to love?

      Dance into the week... with Charlotte and Alber

      We’re loving the new dance-themed films coming our way right now. One of our favourite French film stars, the effortlessly cool Charlotte Gainsbourg, isn’t afraid to shake her groove thing in the music video for her debut single, Terrible Angels on what will be her fourth album, Stage Whisper out this November. 

      And while there’s been plenty of acclaim around the new film Pina by director Wim Wenders on the late dance choreographer Pina Bausch, the prize for the most entertaining cinematic moves this month arrives care of legendary Lanvin designer, Alber Elbaz.

      In what must be a first for a luxury brand, Elbaz and models including Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann, dispense of the usual seductive posing of designer campaigns for an informal, tongue-in-cheek dance routine. We hope it makes you smile as much as we did.

      Something for the weekend...Tracey Emin

      We love that Tracey Emin's neon artwork More Passion is now hanging in 10 Downing Street. If you've just missed her latest work at London's Hayward Gallery, and like us, don't mind mixing culture with a little retail therapy, pop into Louis Vuitton Maison on New Bond St if you're in town to see the Brit artist's new works and maybe even buy one Tracey's limited edition silk scarves she's made especially for them, appropriately titled (given our location and love of the city), Sex 21 Sydney (2011).

      The stylists' edit

      Here at Tluxe HQ we’ve had the nation’s top stylists combing through our new season collection, choosing their favourite pieces to shoot for the up-coming summer fashion pages of the country’s leading style mags. From Grazia and Shop til You Drop to our pals over at Russh, their favourite pieces right now include anything in a nude tone, our streamlined Coco C pant, the boldly striped Tori B maxi skirt, and our super slouchy Nicole F top.  

      Sign up here to get spring/summer’s sell-out pieces first.

      On trend... summer stripes

      This season it’s all about stripes. Strong, graphic engineered stripes in bright summery colours are a great way to inject some on-trend zing into your spring wardrobe. The key to keeping the look up-to-date is to  mix the new season's bold brights with black and white, and keep your silhouette simple. We’ve made it easy for you with our new Rebecca P maxi dress in cheery sunshine yellow and super strong graphite. Wear it with a huge fluoro tote, or if like us, you can’t wait for summer, layer it up with a mis-matched striped T-shirt for a cool spring day.
