Galliano brought us ready to wear Napoleonic War fashion for Spring 09. Early 2010, Tennessee based Prophetik channeled the American civil war and all things Gone With The Wind in their AW10 collection. But Nom de Guerre, with their collaboration with street wear shoe giant Converse, have done it a little differently.

Italian fashion giants Missoni have enlisted revered and highly influential American underground experimental filmmaker, actor and author Kenneth Anger to create a short film that represents Missoni’s Fall/Winter collection for 2010/11. Anger’s aesthetic is surreal, fantastical and textural expressing themes of the occult, and have been described as containing “elements of erotica, documentary, psychodrama, and spectacle”.

If you’re anything like me, then it’s possible that you’ve got nothing on the cards for the next 17 months and have been considering making a reconstruction of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo’s Daft Punk helmet. Well, you may as well give up now, guy, because someone has beaten us to it.

The Spring/Summer Menswear Lookbook from Marni takes all our favourite elements of fashion videos and smooshes them together into a slow five-minute piece.

After multiple viewings of Joie De Vivre – the latest addition to SHOWstudio’s Autumn/Winter 2010 fashion film editorial – we feel like we know what the lovechild of Tim Burton and Lady Gaga would look like.

Accessories and footwear designer Melody Ehsani is a woman with a conscience. As well as designing some accessories with attitude, Ehsani’s focus is on empowering not only women, but those from disadvantaged or low socio-economic backgrounds. From a Persian background, Ehsani went to college as was expected, but soon decided to break the barriers put up by her heritage and follow her design dreams instead of falling into the corporate world.

Lindsay Lohan began a 90-day stint in prison yesterday, after violating the terms of a 2007 drunk-driving conviction. A few months prior to the “shit hitting the fan,” Lohan posed for a Complex Magazine cover story, with art direction by controversial New York artist, KAWS. The editors of the magazine chose to secure an interview with Lohan at a later date, which, in retrospect, was probably an oversight.

With the exception of episodes of America’s Next Top Model and tabloid stories, it’s rare to see models looking anything but perfect. While the beauties in Prada’s Fall/Winter 2010 Ready to Wear campaign are far from scruffy, it’s refreshing to see them playfully auditioning for the soul-inspired shoot.

Lifetime Collective is a label that’s grown from a DIY t-shirt company in a basement, to a hugely popular lifestyle clothing brand based out of Vancouver and Seattle. As well as creating beautifully relaxed mens- and womenswear collections every season, they’re now responsible for creating one of the best lookbooks in recent memory.

The ubiquitous Dr. Marten boot is worn by schoolteachers and students, train drivers and the girl you spend your morning commute staring at. Your dad wore it and your kids probably will too. The shoe has become so a part of our culture that it’s hard to imagine a time when it was only worn by workmen or the working class, and not hipsters in street style pictures the world over. Since its inception 50 years ago, the Doc has formed the base of uniforms for punks, skinheads and, most recently, the flannel-wearing grunge kids of the 90s.
