Chanel Ink: Les trompe-l’oeil de Chanel
What comes to your mind when you think barn, hay and straw – Chanel by any chance? No, I haven’t gone all cuckoo.

Backstage at Giles Deacon Paris Fashion Week A/W 2010
Backstage at the Giles Deacon show in Paris it was mayhem, hair and and makeup had to be done before show time and looking the hair in post show time, it was going to take some time. The head hairdresser yelled “start putting on the mouse!” Of course not all the models... »
Orla Kiely – A/W 2010
There’s always something very sweetly retro about Orla Kiely. For autumn/winter 2010, her life-sized dollhouse was full of 60s glamour, with twinsets galore, short coats and bold details. Above the knee lengths and pieces with multiple uses, this collection has very much a graceful Swinging Sixties vibe. The models wandered in and out of the... »

Madewell by Alexa Chung
Ever looked at a collection and thought “I could wear everything in that range” well I thought just that when I saw what the lovely Alexa has created for Madewell for AW10. It may seem that she has re-created the outfits she usually wears, in her own line, but she has managed to create... »

With the craze of fashion weeks starting today (weather permitting; word on the twitter-vine is that shows are getting post-poned because of the anticipated snow storms in the States. I wonder if that means shows will get pushed back delaying London, Milan and Paris shows in turn? I guess that’ll be great for us,... »
