Yacamim’s bohemian goddess

If your goal is to ride into summer as an unambiguously sexy bohemian Goddess, Yacamim's latest campaign could easily serve as your bible (and your shopping list). Macrame weaves its way into both clothes and accessories. Fringed suede on skirts and boots gives off a Pocahontas vibe that traces back to the brand's American Indian inspirations. The same can be said of feathers and tribal-inspired jewellery - just don't forget to fearlessly layer it up.

A regal white stallion isn't a mandatory mode of transport - but then again, it does have more impact than a pushbike.

How to a keep a vintage look fresh

Sometimes there's nothing more striking than an outfit that could have time travelled straight out of another era. But there's a challenge: keeping it fresh. If the pieces are all original vintage they can be too worn out; you can end up looking like you've just stepped haphazardly out of a Salvation Army bin rather than through a time portal. This outfit worn by Natalie Joos in Paris is one that stays true to the ladylike aesthetic of the '50s and '60s and yet has all the vibrancy of the modern day. From the cat eye glasses and dainty kitten heels to the Prada bag - it all works in harmony.

So, how to achieve a look that's both vintage and fresh at the same time?

Chanel Cabas Ete

Is there ever a summer where a canvas tote isn't so much as a desire as a downright requirement? The association with beachside pleasure is almost Pavlovian; and that's the beauty of it. You can put a canvas tote into any environment, and the effortless association of summer comes right along with it.

Chanel's Cabas Ete (canvas tote) for the summer 2012 season weaves jacquard onto cotton canvas, weaves ribbon into chain, and more importantly weaves luxury with effortless summer style. The five gently faded colours on offer may have a sun-drenched effect, but that doesn't preclude them from being taken indoors as well as out.

A stylish menage a trois

Irrespective of what your stand on a threesome is, the version dictated by SnC magazine might let you reconsider - for better or for worse. Not about the obvious nudity, but this household arrangement of a liaison has taken a sultry and tasteful turn. It has steered towards the menage a trois of clothes.

Despite the presence of all three in one frame for reasons known to us, each of their personalities is screaming out. Be it with clothes or with their stance, models Agness, Blandline and Andre want to be seen, metaphorically and literally, as the most intrepid and mysterious.

Sexually they're standing only a few feet away from each other, but fashion-wise it's a tough competition. Sharp overcoats, elbow-high gloves and liquid leather pants: the seductiveness rests with the clothes and accessories rather than the naked body.

H&M meets The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Films have always left imprints on the world of fashion. A great story comes to life on the screen and before long we're wishing we were in it: the viewer wants to be Holly Golightly in black Givenchy, or Annie Hall in a Ralph Lauren tie, or Carrie Bradshaw in Manolo Blahniks. And while the influence is often strong enough to spawn fashion trends and copycat looks, it's not every day the impact is this direct. Or this authorized. Straight from the horse's mouth, costume designer Trish Summerville has created a Girl with the Dragon Tattoo collection for H&M. In a press release from the high street giant, it was announced that the collection would debut at Paris' purveyor of all things cool, Collette. That's one way to add street cred to your collection, if basing it off a tough-as-nails female lead wasn't enough. More details after the break. h&m girl with the dragon tattoo

Beauty how to: a futuristic flash of aqua

David Koma's spring 2012 collection was based on the idea of a futuristic tribe. Fortunately, makeup took on the futuristic element as opposed to taking the tribal route. Combining finishes such as matte vs gloss, mirroring the finish on the garments created with the use of reflective perspex. A flash of bold colour under the eyes complimented the use of bold colour across the collection.

As well as being perfect for spring beauty, fresh luminous skin is a great winter look too. Products such as MAC Strobe or Clarins Beauty Flash Balm keep skin nourished and protected from the effects of the cold climate combined with indoor heating. Be sure to invest in a good moisturiser for the colder months. A flash of colour on the lower eye lid is a great, quick and easy update to your look and it's always nice to add some colour when the skies are grey!

Mel Arter and the MAC Pro Team created the fabulous look at David Koma. Backstage, she talked us through exactly what you need to recreate it.

Beauty trend: the London Look

Winged eyeliner, fluttery eyelashes, nude lipsticks, divisive hair-dos and Twiggy; it was called Swinging Sixties for a reason.

Fashion's obsession with the past decades is not a new concept. Drawing inspiration from former years is a must and this trend isn't anticipating abatement just yet. As a result of which, the flirtatious graphics and feminine silhouettes of the sixties have baited numerous designers' upcoming collections for spring 2012.

Minimalistic classicism is now being served with an innovative and modern twist. If you haven't checked out our detailed trend report about 1960s fashion, then follow that link to read it all. But this month, Fashionising.com is celebrating make-up in all its glory, so it's only fair to put the overstated eyelashes back in the limelight for maximum admiration from you.

After the break, continue reading to find out why this era's look gained fame, how certain British brands are interpreting it, and golden how-to tips for now and into 2012.

5 secrets of Scandinavian design

Who knew simplicity could be so complex? Turning a complicated craft into an elegantly simple product may be all in a days work for the likes of Apple, but more often than not, it's an art dominated by the Scandinavians. In our recent report on the future of Scandinavian design we looked at the principles behind the movement, the complexities of creating something that straddles the divide between timelessness and trends, and the way technology helps to re-imagine everyday objects into pieces of art.

But as we spoke to brand leaders of the Nordic world - from ECCO shoes to Georg Jensen - there were common factors influencing the success of the brands. We left Copenhagen airport with our pockets full of philosophical gems. Luckily, they made it through customs.

Here are five of those lessons.
