I <3 : La Petite Salope

I have always loved La Petite Salope aka The little strumpet. Their designs are always sophisticated, sleek and fluid but teamed with the right accessories are very modern. Here are two of my favourite looks from Nicola Helgesen's brand. A/W 09S/S 09 Photo:www.lapetitesalope.com

Mini Hazelnut & Blueberry Cakes

So after a long night of dancing and photographs with my fellow beauty pageant girls I got in at around 4:30am. Then me and Mum decided to go to the supermarket as it would be 'empty' to get some bits and also where I picked up the ingredients for the below recipe... Very mad I know. After the trip to the shop we got home at around 7am... still sleep deprived, then I had a longish sleep and woke

Anna Wintour... Interview

The queen bee of the fashion industry Anna Wintour, doesn't often say much which I guess adds to her 'ice queen' alter ego and probably why so many of us love her. But she was on the David Letterman show in America and she did make a few jokes although she didn't do much to change everyones stereotypical view of her. But I guess we'll have to wait till The September Issue is out on September 11th

My Barbie by Patricia Field arrivals!

I have been lusting after the Barbie by Patricia Field range for the longest while now, as a massive Barbie fan I couldn't contain my excitement when I found out that the legendary Patricia Field had made a range for Barbie's 50th anniversary! That was quite a while ago and after searching high and low the items were not available in the UK (surprise, surprise)... So I decided to get them shipped

Anna Wintour, saving the world for fashion.

She was once so mysterious that "The Devil Wears Prada" resorted to thinly disguised fiction to betray her secrets — but suddenly Anna Wintour is everywhere: in the new documentary "The September Issue"; being interviewed on David Letterman; in this new commercial for her latest pet project, Fashion's Night Out; and even, on the big night itself, in Brooklyn and Queens. Shortly after, she'll make the hop across the pond to London, whose much-ignored Fashion Week she hasn't attended in two years — even though she was born and raised there!But the big question remains: Can Anna Wintour save the

NYC print shows: an MBF exclusive report

Last week, MBF visited Direction by Indigo and PrintSource, where we spoke to a lively mix of established and up-and-coming print designers about their hottest trends for fall 2010. While individual styles varied, the recurring themes were clear-cut: an overall move towards abstraction and textural prints, as painterly florals move into blurrier, barely-recognizable territory; nature motifs of fe

Designers to watch: Rodarte

Many high-end designers seem to be on the same invisible wavelength, spontaneously creating nearly identical versions of a mutton-sleeve blazer or drape-front pants for the very same season's runway shows. Not so with Rodarte, designed by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, which marches to a beat all its own — inspired not by other designers, but by a fantasy world of fairies, Frankenstein, and Jap

Wool and the Gang (Paris)

For designers and retailers, the inherent problem with the do-it-yourself trend is, what do you sell? Well, Paris-based Wool and the Gang has come up with an ingenious solution: these ultramodern knit-it-yourself kits, which come with needles, instructions, and luscious Peruvian wool yarns to be made into scarves, hats, or legwarmers in the season's hottest colors: for this fall, that's gray, tea
