Label Watch: KOKONTOZAI

This is the eccentric and downright exciting new brand causing a ruckus on the celebrity scene right now. R&B divas Rihanna and Lady Gaga are already huge fans, having worn plenty of Kokontozai (KTZ) pieces on tour. The website is still under construction and the online boutique will be launching come September, but in the meantime, the AW09 look book is available to download. The label presents a tirade of vibrant colour and textures with futuristic tribal designs. I think the looks are so, so hot. KTZ is fast becoming my new designer crush. Are you feeling the love bug too? Here's a sneak peak at the collection to help you decide:

Label Watch: Cleo B Footwear

Exciting news! Cleo Barbour, the footwear designer who has created shoes for the likes of Georgina Goodman and Nicholas Kirkwood is launching her debut collection entitled Cleo B.

How amazing are these designs? Majestic colours, stylish adornment and fabulous shape. Her collection already features 20 different styles that are bang on trend for next season and the uber sexy Blue Bird is at the top of my Autumn/Winter wish list.

Ms. Barbour promises her collection will balance comfort and practicality with a fashion forward edge and distinctive style. Looking at these beauties, she's certainly got the style part down, only time will tell whether she pulls off practicality too. Stockists will be unveiled at the official launch date in June, everything else is a bit hush-hush at the moment, but I'll keep you posted.

It was so hard to choose my favourites, but I've managed to narrow it down to my top three.
Below is my pick of the best:
1. Blue Bird
2. Paradise
3. Saxony
