As if knowing what to wear to fashion week isn’t hard enough, there’s the added curse of an Indian summer. At times like these there is only one thing to do – reach for your Breton. You know it makes sense. At Margaret Howell yesterday, the Breton count in the audience exceeded 10 (excluding the [...]

A Grey Matter
September 20th, 2009 · No Comments
Thanks to Joanna Sykes who cast grey-haired models for her show (older women buy fashion too, you know) one of my seasonal stresses has been alleviated. Along with the pressure of what to wear during LFW, for a beauty journalist there’s the added burden of presenting a well-groomed front. A mani, pedi and blow dry [...]

Quick! If you haven’t already joined the local WI [the Shoreditch one is packed full of the young and the stylisth], get a wiggle on as crochet is emerging as a big story for next season.

My earliest memory of food is from when my parents got divorced: my dad threw a cabbage out of the kitchen window in frustration at me and my sister’s behaviour. It’s become a running family joke ever since to watch out for flying cabbage.

Magical Mulberry Tour
September 19th, 2009 · No Comments
“I’m perennially inspired by Alice in Wonderland,” says Mulberry’s Emma Hill of her new collection. “You know, that dreamy, but dark and druggy vision of everything being the wrong size and not quite what it seems.” As such, the new collection is full of the oddly sized details, and unexpected fabrications that are fast becoming [...]
