Now I can think of a million and six Dior obsessed people who will go to this exhibition at the ever popular Somerset House. It’s a great place to escape to for a culture hit if you’re feeling a bit dopey. Christian Dior, the man who sent shockwaves through the fashion starved post second world […]
The words Marilyn followed by Monroe conjure iconic images of the Hollywood legend – blonde locks on a care-free tilted head or caught off-guard by photographers with a startled look of innocence but with the ability to switch on that innate sensuality in the blink of an eye. And with sensuality comes vulnerability. From August […]
The Fisheye 2 X Rip Curl Special Edition Camera If, like me, you’re bamboozled by the Argos catalogue’s camera section but are in deep need of a snapper perhaps this special edition son of a gun is the answer! I mean just look at it – those kiddish primary colours – reminiscent of the Fisher Price kitchen I […]
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I caught Eva Hughes perched beneath a VOGUE cut-out dangling from the ceiling. Everyone had been trying to get an interview with her at Colombiamoda and here was my chance. But Spanish is not my language. Where better to star than ‘Ola!!’ – with my hand accidentally on Hughes’ […]
What if fashion designers were all size zero? Then there’d be room for the likes of Ashish, Henry Holland and 26 year old Esteban Cortazar all on one runway, as the latter, a prodigal yet jaw-droppingly polite designer from Bogota, fits in your palm as comfortably as a wallet. Three weeks ago I received an […]
Imagine 250grams of packeted minced beef courtesy of the local supermarche with a raw egg plonked on top. Well, simple or not, it was delicious, but really, I could make that.
On May 27th, women whose eyes have for weeks been monitoring the length and width of Samantha Cameron’s baby bump on the BBC news homepage will simultaneously redirect their focus towards the release of Sex & The City 2. Cinemas are preparing to lose their automatic doors as, once again, hordes of excitable city girls shove, […]
I’ve not made a fashion faux pas in a long time. I feel like I have experimented much more over the past twelve months, giving the rag bag rejects one last airing and matching them with newer items of clothing in a bid to create something …acceptable. Far from being a slave to the vintage rails and charity shops which, if you hadn’t noticed, aren’t cheap anymore, I’m doing a great job of making do wiv what uv’ got! Until this morning.
Juliana Cassandro, the name synonymous with bangles so-delicious-you-could-eat-them, is receiving more enquiries for bespoke wedding jewellery since the public launch of her increasingly well-known collection. Since 1994, only a privileged few adorned the bespoke silver bracelets; each one uniquely engraved with a message and finished with a charm or two, but the order book […]
Anyway, if you want to meet Lulu, cos' she's pretty darn cool, I got the head's up last week on this rather cool POP UP shop off Carnaby Street (65 - 67 Broadwick St, to be precise) on February 8th. She's getting some celeb mates down too so it could be quite a memorable, girly girl toys-tastic day! I'm coining that, Lulu.
