Undoubtedly, like the rest of us, you are still recovering from the frolics of the festive season, and your wallet may be somewhat lighter after a serious sales session. (Harrods, in particular, has made some serious dentage in my own bank balance and let’s not get started on the bargains I have picked up from Reiss). However, it will be worth foregoing that bottle of wine or a night out or skimping on the Pret salads this week to treat yourself to a ticket to London Fashion Weekend. Unless, that is, you know someone kind enough to forego their own sins on your part, so that you may indeed enjoy that Pinot Grigio after all. Continue reading “London Fashion Weekend”

After three weeks of wonder - Paris always has the tough task of ending the season in style. But with a line up of some of the best and most experienced in the business, it was a walk in the park. Continue reading “Trend Report: Paris SS08″

The five month wait, since the Fall 2007 collections were shown in all their finery, is finally over.

I am struggling to fathom the new found love of the British woman - the Maxi dress. Why on earth would any woman with an ounce of style be attracted to the next worst thing since the Croc? Continue reading “All Maxed Out”

Autumn/Winter’06 saw us wearing lots of chunky knits - hooded, high necked and showing a discreet amount of flesh. Hermès showed us how to keep shape in our outfits by adding a waistbelt and Valentino gave us lashings of red to cut through the sea of grey that was last seasons new ‘black’. Fur, inspired no doubt by the incredible works of McQueen, entered our lives once more and the faithful leggings remained. Continue reading “This Season Must Haves: Part I”
