The Kate Moss Film KM3D-1

_Kate Moss stars as Kali, an all-powerful Hindu goddess in a new 3D film "KM3D-1", directed by Ballie Walsh. The film is set to premiere this Thursday at Haunch of Venison London in partnership with AnOther Magazine. The release date directly follows Vogue Italia's September Issue 3D cover and spread of Miranda Kerr (see it again here). Technology advances fast.

_Subject noteworthy, Kate Moss: The model's last full "seasonal collection" with Topshop goes on sale October 28th. As of 2011, Kate and the Topshop design team will only focus on creating Limited Edition drop-in collections.

Manolo Blahnik for Liberty London launching Fashion Night Out

My shoes are special shoes for discerning feet. _Manolo Blahnik

I really try my best not to turn Au Courant into a fashion blog. What I often choose to publish in the world of fashion are ad campaigns and collaborations. To see distinctive talent come together and form something unique is always impressive and cutting-edge. That being said, I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the collaborations between H&M and Karl Lagerfeld, Jimmy Choo and I'm not excited about Lanvin. Haute couture is haute couture for a reason. I don't think it should be mixed with a regular clothing brand and launched into the mass market...

_Now for collaborations that DO make sense. Manolo Blahnik for the iconic Liberty of London. Their collaboration was announced months ago but the collection is finally becoming available on Thursday in London for Fashion Night Out. Here are two prestigious brands that know their worth. Blahnik sourced through the famous Liberty fabric print archives to create an exclusive collection for the store. The collaboration also features candles, notecards, pillows and scarves.
