GFW Best Womenswear

The award for best Womenswear collection goes to Northbrook student Rhea Fields. Rhea was inspired by silhouettes from men's tailoring and mixed it with feminine fabrics for an altogether androgynous look.

With subtle shades of peach and beige, and added effect from sequins and polka dots, the collection shows an innovative approach to tailoring. A slick sophisticated look from Fields who said she had 'never expected to get in, let alone to win anything' .

Alejandro.

A rather compelling 8 minutes and 43 seconds. You have to watch it to see. It's Icy, Fiery and of course dramatic from start to finish in that individual Gaga fashion.

I can't help but notice Lady G is drawing on her inspirations by adopting a Madonna-esque bob and even adapting the infamous cone bra into what can only be described as...Machine gun bra?! Well all that combined with dance routines, naked men and writhing makes for a must watch music video.
