The British version of InStyle magazine features a gorgeous Mischa Barton with some fun conversation about fashion and style. The InStyle site also has a great behind-the-scenes video right here – I think getting to see these videos is one of my favorite things about fashion magazines moving online. It’s just so much fun to see what goes on to get the perfect shoot down.

Talk with Mischa:

Before taking a well earned break from her recent roles on the big screen, Mischa is spending a day with In Style modelling the new season’s catwalk trends, from futuristic tailoring to feathers. She tells us that her own wardrobe collection is just as eclectic: “I live in vintage shift dresses or jeans, but there’s also a bit of everything, from designer to H&M, and, like, 50 pairs of shoes – that’s not so bad, right?”

Bags, though, are her weakness: in fact she’s just designed her own mid-priced range. “It was so fun and creative – you sketch them and they send back a computer image,” she says. “And I loved the idea behind Kate Moss for Topshop – that your fans can afford to buy your designs.”

So are there any plans for her own fashion line? “That would be cool,” she nods, before adding endearingly, “but you have to really know what you are doing.”
