Plus Size Continues to Lead the Way in London

Knitwear designer Mark Fast has ridden over the storm of controversy he caused at last year’s London Fashion Week by sending out plus size models onto his catwalk yet again.

His show last season led to a storm of protests, after his stylist was rumoured to have walked out days before his show due [...]

Brit Awards Fashion – the Winners and Losers

In theory, the Brit Awards is the complete antithesis to the likes of the Oscars and the Baftas.  You don’t have to show up in some generic, floor-sweeping gown, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Carolina Herrera.  The Brit Awards are the perfect opportunity to rock up in a dazzling, avant-garde designer creation and [...]

Shop from the Front Row At Henry Holland

As the worlds of fashion and social media mesh ever closer, Twitter fanatic Henry Holland has announced plans to sell his newest t-shirt collection to his front-row spectators via an application on Blackberry.

The designer also previewed the range on his blog, with Alexa, Agyness and Pixie modelling his wares.  Known for his love of slogans, [...]

Alexander McQueen Passes Away

The fashion world was shocked yesterday at the news of Alexander McQueen’s untimely death, after he committed suicide at the age of just 40. 
I know it’s already been said everywhere else, but the industry really has lost a huge creative talent.  He was a revolutionary in modern fashion with his influences being seen on the [...]

M&S Go for the Cool Factor

Marks and Spencer are continuing with their quest to appeal to the younger market with the announcement of their new models.
They’ve just revealed that their next campaigns will feature X-Factor judge Dannii Minogue, alongside singer VV Brown and model Lisa Snowdon will be joining up with old favourite Twiggy to launch their Spring/Summer collections for [...]

Here Come the Boys!

I’m absolutely loving the fact that Vogue.com has taken a leaf out of its younger sister Teen Vogue’s book with a whole section of the site dedicated to hot boys.  Yet instead of lusting after Zac Efron and the Twilight boys, they’ve mixed hot men with even sexier fashion with a swooningly hip parade of the 2010 menswear [...]

Armani Goes Gaga

I have to say, out of all the stars hitting the Grammy Awards red carpet, I never thought Lady Gaga would be hte one to be dressed in Armani Prive.  The designer’s reputation for classic, demure cuts doesn’t really match too well with Lady Gaga’s outlandish personality and wacky costume choices.  Yet clearly Armani decided [...]

Victoria Courts Controversy

Rumours are abound that Victoria Beckham’s latest venture is to be a fur collection, something that has already sparked a flurry of controversy and angry bloggers.  She’s currently in talks with none other than Mr Marc Jacobs to collaborate on the range, and she’s made no secret of her love for fur in the past, [...]

More Gaga Outfits from the Lady Herself

gaga 1
When Lady Gaga first appeared on the scene I thought she was fabulous.  Her structural outfits, OTT eye make-up and high-leg leotards had me applauding in the backlash against all those bog standard girl-band outfits. 
However I think that sadly, the tide is beginning to turn and people (myself included) are tiring of increasingly outlandish [...]

Yet another round of celebs turning their hand to fashion

I have to say, I’m beginning to get a bit sick of celebrities thinking that, because they have a fantastic wardrobe of fabulous clothes, this automatically qualifies them as fashion designers.  Yes, you know who you are, Hilary Duff, J-Lo, Mary-Kate and Ashley, and the rest of you – stick to your own game!
And now, [...]

New Moon Mania Hits the Fashion World Too…

I’m glad to see that Kirsten Stewart has finally upped her game in the style stakes, just in time for the premiere of New Moon, the next installation of the Twilight Saga.  After her slightly disastrous appearance at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, where she teamed her dress with a scruffy pair of Converse, she’s [...]

Everyone’s Talking About Betty…

As if we don’t all already spend enough time gossiping and bitching about celebrities and their outfits and makeovers, it seems now we’ve moved on to fictional characters too.  And Miss Betty Suarez is right up there in the firing line…
There’s been massive debate about the decision by TV execs to finally give Betty that [...]

Counting down the days to Jimmy Choo Mania!

Jimmy Choo launches on 14th November, and fashionistas (myself included) are literally counting the days until they can get their hands on a piece of cut-price designer magic.  Last night’s launch saw some of the industry’s hottest talent out for a slice of the action, and there was plenty of fine footwear on display.  For [...]

Braving the weather in style…

Having enjoyed the last two weeks of fine Autumn weather, complete with chilly sunshine days and copious amounts of leaf-kicking, the rain has now set in, much to my disappointment. 
I hate the rain – it ruins my shoes and hair, it makes everyone miserable and all I want to do is curl up on the [...]

Lily’s Got Talent

I went to see the hotly-anticipated Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the cinema this weekend.  It’s not the kind of film I normally go for, but given the hype surrounding it, I really wanted to see it.  It’s slightly surreal watching Heath Ledger on screen, particularly as his first appearance on screen has him hanging [...]
