Following on from my post earlier this month, Britney continues the military theme during her Circus tour, with this airforce-inspired jacket worn in Pittsburgh last night.
Just found this pic of hot new Aussie band 'Empire of the Sun', of whom NME recently said 'world domination awaits' and Radio 1's Zane Lowe currently has their track 'We Are The People (That Rule The World)' as his 'hottest record in the world right now'. Anyway, on the Status Symbols front, they are wearing some brilliantly military and royal get-up and their logo appears to be a crown. So well done for entering into the spirit lads.
You can still get involved with Status Symbols by sending in projects along royal and military styles. We welcome anything - photos, text or videos...so check out our Get Involved section on the website and see the gallery of projects we've already had submitted. If you want to get involved, email us your projects at fht.csm@gmail.com and we will get them up online.
Paige even dressing up in a Disney Princess dress to set off her crown. Thank you to mummy Helen for helping with cutting and sticking!
Loving today's Balkan-inspired Galliano collection! As well as the panniers, pompom boots, peasant blouses and embroidery, Galliano also threw in a little bit of military frogging.
Check out these Tim Walker photgraphs, im loving the fairy tale theme. It reaches all elements of fashion and is clearly an adaptable theme!! Sophie 
Continuing with the idea of the Status Symbols exhibition using a fairytale narrative and following on from my recent blog about celebrities being photographed in fairytale tableaux for a recent Disney series, I thought I would share the rest of the images with you. So, here is Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie from Aladdin, Julie Andrews as the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio, Jessica Biel as Pocahontas and Roger Federer as King Arthur. I'll keep you posted if I come across anymore.
Glossies scrutinize celebrity dress in the same way that Court journals of the past criticized the dress of aristocrats at Court. Diaries and letters between Court ladies reveal the pressure and judgement placed on dress. During the reign of Charles II in the 1660's, the Duchess of Newcastle was notorious for her bizarre fashion choices, and was the author of Poems and Fancies. Dorothy Osbourne unsympathetically wrote of her in a correspondence, "First let me ask you if you have seen a book newly come out made by my Lady Newcastle; For God's sake if you meet with it, send it to me; they say 'tis ten times more extravagant than her dress." This is almost the same level of bitchiness found in Vice and Glamour's do's and don't's these days.
"Wow. Carrying around a jambox is one thing, but how into yourself have you got to be to set up an entire throne for your personality and read A Clockwork Orange while smoking cigarettes (he even brought his own little pocket ashtray with lid) like you're living out some 8th-grader in detention's fantasy of what living in New York is going to be like? The bottom half of his mi
rror must be permanently frosted in jizz."-Vice
These sorts of criticisms have remained unchanged as this copy of Heat magazine confirms. Like Heat claims of these celebrities, Samuel Pepys' wrote in his infamous diary in the 17th century when his cousin began wearing rouge on her cheeks, "Still very pretty, but paints red on her face, which makes me hate her."

I think Jamie Reid would be the first to agree that the greatest ideas endure the test of time . . .
After seeing the design proposals for the Status Symbols exhibition, it is clear that the fairytale theme is going to be a major part of the display, so bearing that in 
mind, I found these photos commissioned by Disney and taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Alice in Wonderland, Gisele Bundchen as Wendy & Tina Fey as Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, David Beckham as Prince Charming from Sleeping Beauty, Jennifer Lopez as Jasmine from Aladdin and Julianne Moore as The Little Mermaid.
He may still be the Prince of Wales, but today Charles was crowned best dressed man in the world, by Esquire Magazine.
As a purely sartorial observation, was Victoria Beckham taking inspiration from Adolf Hitler when she arrived at LAX yesterday in this Nazi-themed grey outfit??_14.jpg)
Let me share with you one of my favourite blogs Kingdom of Style. This cleverly written blog was founded by Queen Michelle and Queen Mary, who cover everything from catwalk reports to snaps of their personal style and anything that is in their opinion worth writing about. 
I was thinking back to Claire's blog on Taylor Swift wearing a military-styled jacket at the Echo awards when I saw a huge billboard advertising her latest album in Shoreditch (I know, I was pretty confused as to how a country star ended up on a wall in east London). I realized that as someone who was born and bred on country music, I cannot help myself from making a further link. In my eyes, Dolly Parton is bigger than the Queen.So, unable to pass up the opportunity to force country music upon people, here they are (And it can't be that bad--this was the first country song to top Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart):
And even better yet, she’s recently been to London and made a bit of a video blog about it, which includes her and one of her label executives dressing up as they imagine the English—a royal guard and the Queen!
haha, yes.
