New designers at Net-a-porter.

Here are some of our favourite designers that have just arrived onto Net-a-porter.

VICTORIA BECKHAM:
Stop swooning and start saving for a piece of Victoria Beckham, now online at Net-a-porter. I honestly cannot stop staring at the fabulous tailoring and luxe fabrics. Vicky Beckham has just made it into my list of "favourite celebrities turned designers". Any thoughts?

JASON WU:
After Michelle Obama wore a dazzling white one shoulder gown by Jason Wu at the official Inaugural party, there were many positive and negative comments about the dress. Oh well, Net-a-porter has picked up Wu and this has just proven that all publicity is good publicity.

DESIGNERS REMIX:
I love, love, love this label! The designs have elements of chic, runway and haute couture at a surprisingly affordable (but still slightly expensive) price. Inspired by fabric textures and the creation of origami pieces for the garment designs, this label has got to be one of my top favourites right now.

BALMAIN:
After the success of the Spring/Summer 08 show, who wouldn't fall in love with the luxe eighties inspired pieces by Balmain? Expect fitted blazers and edgy ripped denim complete with diamantes and intricate beading. A win-win combination, any day.

Naturally there is more wonderful designers who have just been picked up but we promise to get back to it soon...I mean, it's now officially obvious that we have some serious online shopping to do right now.

We're Loving the Luella.

It's cute, it's chic, and it's runway fresh. The Iconic team are loving the new Luella dresses available on net-a-porter. The dresses are so sweet and tea party friendly, not to say that they are super cute pieces to add whimsicality to any wardrobe. There is a clear playful essence which makes them seem perfect with a cute oversized feathery headpiece, a pair of satin ballet flats (screw Gladiator heels-we're so over them), and a pair of Chanel pearls to make the look complete for whimsical romance looks. Wear with a sense of humour for that added personality and its good to go.

On a Final Note

As some of you may have noticed, we haven’t been blogging much lately.

We started blogging back in 2004, when we began college. We wanted a simple girly website where we can share our thoughts on fashion with other fashion lovers. We finally settled on blogspot, because we were both technically challenged and it was easy. It was really exciting at first. We religiously stalked our blog and our heart would skip a beat whenever we get a comment. It gave us a warm and fuzzy feeling each time.

We just graduated last summer and since then, we’ve been struggling to carry our blog into the ‘real world’ with us. When you’re a student, you’re surrounded by inspirations and you have all the time in the world to take it in and read up on the latest styles and celebrity trends. In the real world, you get so caught up with life that you barely have time to stop and admire your surroundings and be inspired and excited by it. Now don’t get us wrong, we still love to drool over gorgeous dresses and new bags and debate over the merits of the latest trends- just not as often anymore. Blogging started to become a chore instead of something we loved doing. That was when we knew that it was time to move on, even though it took us a few months of thinking and debating with ourselves and each other to realize it, and another few months overcoming self denial to act on it. It’s not easy to give up something we’ve been doing for the last four years, knowing that once we stop, there is no going back.

A little over 4 years ago, we had no idea what blogs were, and we certainly didn’t know fashion blogs will become such a big phenomenon. We didn’t really know where we were heading when we started I am Fashion, but it became something we loved. We considered taking I am Fashion further, developing it into something bigger as so many other fashion blogs have done. But alas, as hard as we racked our brains, we couldn’t come up with a vision of where it can go. And so, we've decided that it was time to make a graceful exit and let I am Fashion go.

We’d like to thank all the readers who have stuck with us throughout the last four years. It was your comments, emails and continued presence that have kept us going for so long. We’d also like to thank our guest blogger E, who has helped us immensely in the last few months through this difficult transition period. It’s been an unexpectedly rewarding experience, which will always have a special place in our hearts.
