Throughout summer it has been difficult to ignore the recent Chinoiserie trend in stores and magazines, kick-started by the opulent Louis Vuitton show in Paris and merged effortlessly into autumn by Paul Smith. Cheongsam collars and qipao slits aside, this new-found interest in the East may have been partly triggered by China’s growing appetite for high-end goods, which despite recent economic setbacks, has left Western luxury brands competing for a share of this very sizable market.
This obsession with the ‘Orient’ has also seen a proliferation of Asian models on catwalks and throughout editorial spreads, which has courted controversy for some publications and raises all manner of questions regarding ethnicity and standards of beauty. Whilst researching this trend it becomes impossible not to contemplate the...

Model Heidi Mount called police to her New York apartment on Tuesday following a nasty argument with her estranged husband.
The 25 year old, who has fronted campaigns for Calvin Klein and Givenchy, is living apart from her hairstylist partner Shawn and a discussion between the pair about custody arrangements for their four-year-old son became heated.
Mount dialled 911 and alleged her husband had threatened her. He has claimed she told police he had a knife, but Mount is adamant she never made such an allegation.
She tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "Shawn said something that made me feel threatened. But I didn't tell the police he had a knife. They asked me if there was anything in the apartment that could be used as a weapon, and I responded. 'He has a pocket knife, and there are kitchen knives on a magnet in the kitchen'... I am trying to do the right thing for my son. I hope we can reach a peaceful agreement. I never wanted my son to not have his father in his life."...

Model Heidi Mount and her husband Shawn have told of their relief after allegations he raped a model during London Fashion Week were dropped.
The hairstylist was arrested on suspicion of a serious sexual assault in September after an unnamed catwalk model, 24, claimed she was attacked at a hotel in the U.K. capital.
New York-based Mount was not charged and was released on bail pending further inquiries - but the investigation has since been dropped.
He tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "I am so relieved that this is over. I have always maintained my innocence."
And Chanel model Heidi says she is standing by her man, adding: "We are still together. Nothing about these false accusations has changed our relationship."
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman confirmed to WENN that Mount is no longer under investigation.

Kate Bosworth and Margherita Missoni. By PatrickMcMullan.com. “Chanel parties always have the nicest people,” said model Heidi Mount last night at the Mark Hotel in New York City while sipping pink champagne before sitting down to an intimate dinner hosted by the iconic fashion house to celebrate its new lipstick line, Rouge Coco. The model certainly knows a thing or two about the brand as she has appeared in several of its ad campaigns, opened the Chanel spring show last October, and also recently walked in the Chanel couture show this past January. However, the evening was all about celebrating a different beauty, French singer and actress Vanessa Paradis, who is the face for the new makeup line and was fittingly dressed in head-to-toe Chanel couture for the occasion. As attendees continued to file in, including models such as Edita Vilkeviciete and Anouk Lepere, editrixes Lauren Santo Domingo and Nina Garcia,...
