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 [...]

September 20th, 2009 · No Comments

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.

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 [...]
