Today, Gucci unveiled the 'Artisan Corner' at their flagship store in Sydney. For a limited time,  five of the brands most respected Italian craftsmen will set up shop within the store to work on iconic styles from the handbag range. Customers will watch the artisans handcraft the pieces using the same tools that are available in their Florentine workshops. Customers will also have the chance to get their initials embossed on their special edition purchase. On site there is also the chance to see the original sketches from the brands most iconic designs. The craftsmen can also be seen at The Star and Chadstone later this month.  A definite must see for any Gucci lover!

Kate Bosworth in Prada


It has been a few days now since the Met Ball yet I am still dreaming about the amazing Prada bordeaux and navy ostrich feather mini dress that was worn by Kate Bosworth. The actress oozed sophistication and sex appeal in the backless number which stood out amongst the many full-lengthed dresses of the night.With such a stand out dress, Kate kept her accessories simple with Repossi earrings, a few Fred Leighton art deco diamond and platinum bracelet and some strappy, Prada heels and the deep hue of her lipstick complimented the dress perfectly.  Speaking of the dress to JustJared.com, Kate said :" This is the first custom dress that has ever been made for me," " I feel really lucky and special today."
