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 [...]

Fashion meets Politics – With a Heart

The Prime Minister’s wife Sarah Brown is fast proving herself to be something of a mover and a shaker in the fashion world.  Pictured just last week schmoozing with Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue at the National Televison Awards, she yesterday had another very glamorous sidekick – Naomi Campbell.

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 [...]

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 [...]

More ways to beat the credit crunch in style

There comes a time when every shopping addict has to defend her wardrobe size and choices.  On many occasion I have found myself justifying why I couldn’t possibly throw out that dress – even though I’ve not worn it for two years and it’s a bit dusty now and it isn’t really in fashion any [...]

A belated style icon

Sometimes it takes a bit of a midlife-crisis to turn a run of the mill, black-dress-follower into a style icon.  Whether it’s a divorce, a new younger man or a career boost, sometimes it takes the celebs a while to realise that actually, they are pretty hot and they should make the most of it.  [...]

A new fashion icon – In praise of Lady GaGa

There has been a trend of late for a look I like to call “I-just-picked-this-up-off-my-bedroom-floor-and-threw-it-on.”  Alexa Chung, Peaches Geldof et al excel in that messy hair, slightly crumpled and layered style, carried off with an certain air of nonchalance. 
And that’s all very well – a girl needs her scruffy days.  But i think there’s a lot to [...]

The Rise of the Recessionista

What do you get when you mix fashion with the credit crunch?  Those clever word boffins have come up with the “recessionista” – someone who manages to dress stylishly on a tight budget. 
According to Grazia magazine’s recent survey, 83% of women are still shopping for clothes, accessories and beauty products at least once a week.  [...]
