The Sound of Pre-Fall

I have a weird fixation with music videos I can't really explain. When I like a video I go in a kind of trance, as if I were hypnotised. Needless to say, this phenomenon is strengthened if the styling in the video is particularly good. Well, that was exactly what happened when I watched 'Just be Good to Green' the new Professor Green single featuring Lily Allen. The track is a cover of the 1983 S.O.S. band 'Just be Good to Me' song and it's not very good but quite intoxicating and catchy. The video seems overly chic for someone like Professor Green (who is, essentially, a chav) but it all works mixed with Lily's flair.

You can watch the video in higher quality here.

Lily looks absolutely beautiful in the video. The short hair and the dar eye-shadow look stunning on her. And the fashion is quite remarkable as well. She first wears the super cool Pre-Fall Louis Vuitton cape Kate Hudson wore a while ago. It looks much much better on Lily (like so many things) because she wears it a casual way instead of dressing it up too much like Kate did. The she changes into one of my favourite sheer Chanel dresses from the Pre-Fall collection. The dress looks so much more flirty on Lily than it did on the catwalk and she combined it with lime green platform shoes very similar to the sculpted 'Imperiale' YSL pumps she wore last year to the V festival. She just keeps getting it right.

just one of those things

This time I will not speak ill of pre-collections. I have come to terms with the fact that is is thanks to them and cruise collections that we get a fashion kick in between seasons. They might not be creatively challenging but they are cool designs from some our favourite people. And they make you look good during the holidays or on your annual yacht tour around the Greek islands. These are soVIPzone's picks from our preferred Pre-Fall 2010 collections.
