adidas have cool collaborations coming out of their ears right now, teaming up with everyone from Stella McCartney to Selena Gomez to the uber stylish Porsche Design. After the success of the menswear series, Porscge Design has released a womens sportswear range, the first ever collection for women since adidas and Porsche Design’s debut in 2006.

The women’s collection embodies the brands performance meets luxury ideology, with minimalistic and contemporary designs in innovative materials. There is a full range of clothing, footwear and accessories which includes these key pieces;

The Easy Trainer, a lightweight and flexible sports shoe with a dance inspired sole construction and supporting cushioning. It comes in three colour combinations, ideal to match your look at the gym or on the street. The Gym Hoodie is a modernised edition of the original hooded style, while the chic Gym Tee is engineered with moisture wicking Coolbest II yarn to keep you cool and dry. To carry all those clothing delights there is the elegant but durable water-resistant Gym Teambag, which holds everything a bring-home-the-bacon modern woman needs, from clothes to laptops to yoga mats (oh my!)

Porsche Design Sport for Women is good news for ladies everywhere wanting elegant yet comfortable sportswear; contemporary, minimally chic and above all allows for maximum performance in elegant style this winter.

If you’ve been wanting to look more stylish when hitting the gym or you fancy adding a sporty piece to your everyday attire this winter then look no more; the Y-3 AW13 campaign has arrived. From its recent Covent Garden store opening, the adidas hybrid continues the 10 years of futuristic sport with the “future thrift” collection, which is about imagining “how coming generations might mix elements of technology and tradition.”

Designed by the iconic Yohji Yamamoto, who describes it as “walking backward into the future”, the Y-3 collection echoes this future looking back at its past vision; Yamamoto’s avant-garde layered tailoring in conventional woven fabrics combines with athletic elements and futuristic synthetic materials. Graphic prints and pops of vibrant orange and green contrast against a dark colour palette of black, khaki and grey, with the signature three stripes peeping through in subtle appearances.

Shot in a creepy abandoned warehouse on Manhattan’s Lower East Side by Robbie Fimmano, dark, negative spaces allow the vivid elements of the collection to take prominence against the unadorned backdrop. The accompanying campaign video is a rather sinister affair with industrial imagery and mechanical dentist drill-like sound effects, and a digital clock reminding us time’s a ticking.

The original aim of Y-3 was to “elevate sportswear into something elegant and chic.” The AW13 collection does that, building a connection between the practical elements of sportswear and the sophistication and desirability of fashion pieces — basically,ridding the WAG in favour of the fashion diva. Check out the video below.

The collaboration between the award-winning Japanese designer and Adidas began in 2003 – and ten years on, the brand has become a favourite amongst celebs, including the likes of A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith and David Beckham. So if you’re rocking the balaclava-chic like A$AP or taking tips from a very cool 12-year-old, then Y-3 is the brand for you.

Inhabiting a renovated building originally built in 1838, the street-chic sanctuary is all futuristic, monochrome, mirror effects and mood lighting — pretty much how we picture Yamamoto’s bedroom to look like. It’s the brand’s second London store in collaboration with partner brand Hervia, alongside their flagship Central London store. The new branch will house the AW13 collection, carrying the full range of menswear, womenswear, footwear and accessories.

In keeping with Y-3’s approach, the store merges minimalist chic and techno-bling with a new lighting system that changes settings depending on the display — perfect for moody trend-setters and fickle fashionistas. But without getting too sci-fi, the store also keeps intact the building’s distinguishing Victorian features, such as its arch windows and steel pillars.

So why not head down to Covent Garden and hip hop into the new Y-3 store — if you fancy feeling like you’re in a sci-fi remake of American Psycho.

What’s that in the corner? Oh, a Siamese cat. Wait, don’t pick up the phone! Oh, too late. And who’s that looking through the window?

Prada takes a very domestic tack to their latest noir-influenced campaign video. Shot by AMO, the models slide in and out of a graphic cut-out background, performing mundane household tasks that nonetheless have a slightly, well, sinister feel (best use of suspenseful jazz music ever?). Prada describes it as a “world of distorted normality” of “sophisticated domestic imagery”, and it serves up a brilliant reminder of Miuccia Prada‘s AW13 presentation, which saw the collection staged with spinning ceiling fans, lingering black cats and mysterious silhouettes in the doorway.

It’s also the first time that the label’s menswear and womenswear collections have been showcased in the same campaign film, which makes perfect sense – there’s nothing that adds to that edge of domestic tension than a mysterious phone call or two.

Amidst piles of leaves and smokestacks comes an Autumn babe that’s smokin’ in her own right. The Autumn ’13 collection lookbook from Lazy Oaf shows the seasonal Nineties nostalgia trends with zany prints and sporty silhouettes, but with a signature brand twist. For Lazy Oaf, it’s all about the hip, lollipop-licking rude gals, equipped with long, bedazzled nails, enormous hoop earrings and brains to match. In line with this rude gal’s more vampy autumn attitude, the colour palette of the collection consists of deep blacks, bright reds and antique golds.

Referencing this hip chick’s smartpants ways, the collection deviates from the brand’s usual ironic fast food prints, instead embracing prints with more historical significance, such as the Caesar bear motif of Roman mythology or psychedelic Aztec patterns that cascade down cropped sweats, leggings and figure-hugging jersey dresses. But if there is one statement piece, it’s the  fluff-to-the-touch “In Da Hood” cropped hooded jackets, that truly brings this hypnotic street beats collection full circle.

See the complete Lazy Oaf Autumn ’13 Lookbook, available to view from Lazyoaf.co.uk,  and check out the complete Autumn ’13 collection, dropping July 25.

Other than that brief season Skrillex was a G-Star spokesperson (yep, it happened), fashion has never exactly been au fait with dubstep. But given the rising popularity of the genre in the States, it makes sense that DKNY’s chosen to soundtrack its latest ad with a particularly abrasive EDM track. (Plus, the face of DKNY, a certain party-hardy Cara Delevingne, has most definitely been to an illegal rave or two in her time.)

The Mikael Jansson-directed ad follows Delevingne as she leaps onto cars, pulls pretzels apart and raves it up in the city alongside model Ollie Edwards and New York-based artist Curtis Kulig, who can be seen tagging the city with a custom DKNY signature.

“You’re overreacting.” “Will you keep your voice down?” “Do it again.” According to Prada, its new campaign film all takes place “under the glare of the spotlight and the watchful gaze of the casting director”.

Nine hopeful actresses – played by Amanda Murphy, Cameron Russell, Caroline De Maigret, Catherine McNeil, Fei Fei Sun, Freja Beha, Kristine Froseth, Malaika Firth and Sophia Ahrens – stalk in and out of the lens, reciting lines that sound more like foreboding preludes to the climax of a Hitchcock film.

Call it creepy, call it sinister – either way it’s the most dramatic campaign film we’ve seen this season. We just hope these models made the cut.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Naomi Campbell kicked off the autumn/winter 2013 haute couture collections in Paris last night by opening Versace. This is kind of amazing.

Campbell shot to superstardom as one of Gianni’s favorite models (she still describes him as a “brother”). But she hasn’t worked with the label for 15 years since she fell out with Donatella – Campbell announced at an impromptu press conference that the latter had been “treating [her] like a stranger for months“.

Happily, it seems that the two have patched up just in time for AW13. As Donatella puts it: “I started this Atelier Versace collection by dreaming about the perfect aesthetic of the black-and-white era. I wanted to make it new, and pictured a sexy and sophisticated woman with a strong attitude. Only a true icon like Naomi Campbell could open this show.”

After all, nothing screams Naomi Campbell more than a plunging, bejeweled basque. So in honour of Campbell’s return to the runway, we thought we’d list 12 more of our favourite Naomi moments.

1. That time she raced a cheetah

Jean-Paul Goude’s spin on Richard Avedon’s 50s photographs saw Campbell run with a cheetah for Harper’s Bazaar. Obviously, the cheetah lost.

2. That time she wore a crotchtastic Chanel bikini

Not everyone can get away with a Chanel-branded crotch logo. Unless you’re Naomi Campbell, that is.

3. That time she fell over at a Vivienne Westwood show and just styled it out

Most models look terrified when they slip on the runway. In 1993, Naomi made it look fun.

4. That time she appeared on Absolutely Fabulous

Joanna Lumley and Naomi Campbell are a match made in heaven.

5. That time she wrote a novel

Yes, Naomi Campbell has written a book. That would be 1997’s Swan. (Make that ghostwritten. Campbell explained that she “just did not have the time to sit down and write a book”).

6. That time she tried to launch a singing career

In 1995, she released her album babywoman. This single reached No. 40 on the UK charts. For some inexplicable reason, the video features Naomi as a Bollywood circus dancer.

7. That time she appeared on Cribs

She bought the house in Jamaica where Ian Fleming wrote all the James Bond novels, because she could.

8. All the times she went clubbing with Kate Moss

If we could somehow live inside a photo, it would be this one.

9. This exchange between Coco Rocha and Naomi on The Face

Why are we so excited about this show coming to the UK? This is why.

10. That time she appeared in a Michael Jackson video

Before Michael Jackson’s plastic surgery exploits took a turn for the worst, he made this video. And it’s still fucking amazing.

11. Every time she walks a runway, period

There’s a reason she’s an OG supermodel. If you need any more convincing, check out the video Susie Bubble shot at Versace yesterday. There’s Naomi walking… and then there’s all the other lesser models.
