Paris Fashion Week S/S 10: Gareth Pugh

Gareth Pugh brought a dark and dramatic edge to the start of Paris. The colour palette consisted of grey, navy, black and subtle nudes. The pale faces added a gothic and romantic element to the show. Leather featured heavily in biker jackets, trousers and zipped corsets. Belted macs with long and flowing edges looked beautiful in this moody show.

Wild Things, you make our hearts sing

So everyone and their mother has been presenting their lines via film lately, as we've been covering... but promoting a film by creating fashion lines — that's a new one for us! This month sees the premiere of Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book, Where the Wild Things Are. But with the film yet to hit theatres, at least two — count 'em, two — clothing lines inspir

TheGreenShows at NY Fashion Week

While the big names at the Bryant Park tents and MAC at Milk were busily hogging most of the attention at NYFW, a small, green revolution was going on in Soho... on Greene Street, naturally! With EarthPledge's usual high-profile FutureFashion show on hiatus, a new player stepped into the mix: TheGreenShows, featuring our longtime fave Bodkin along with pieces from Ekovaruhuset (above), a boutique

The future of fashion is virtual.

As Fashion Week evolves from industry event to public phenomenon, designers have been contemplating how to keep their shows exclusive while making all of their customers feel included. Fashion's Night Out, while not a financial success, was a big step toward the democratization of Fashion Week, letting the public meet (or at least gape at) influential designers and buy in by, well, buying in. Twi

Milan Fashion Week S/S 10: Just Cavalli

I loved the humour in this show, I'm not sure if this was intentional or not but I thought the slogan t-shirts were hilarious, I love a bit of shameless vanity in the collection and the slogan t-shirts provided this. I can just imagine them being a hit already. 'Bobby', 'I've been touched by Cavalli', 'I love JC' and 'It's just Cavalli' all popped out along the catwalk. In the end I realised I wa

Milan Fashion Week S/S 10: Prada

Miuccia Prada has always been one of my favourite designers, so I was anticipating this show as well as Miu Miu. This collection excited me throughout and had some very inspirational pieces. The slate almost metallic greys were a bold and strong colour and were excellently tailored, these were reworked as they were cut in the shorts and jackets. This had a good effect as they were just starting t

Milan Fashion Week: Moschino Cheap & Chic

Moschino Cheap & Chic showed the epitome of a fun and stylish Spring show. Sleeveless white shirts, ruffled black minidresses and the cutest sunflower sunglasses came along first. Oh and how could I forget the 'Amore' necklace, a must have. A pink one shoulder dress in the most beautiful embroidery followed which was the essential summer dress. I also loved the slogans such as the 'Shock

Milan Fashion Week S/S 2010: D&G

Cowgirls came one after the other in this great collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The denim and leather collection wasn't just the typical cowboy inspired show but the theme was made more feminine and very sexy. The denim was distressed, bleached and ripped and included high waisted shorts, barely there ruffled skirts and fitted shirts. Brown leathers came in buckled belts, bustie

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2010: Giorgio Armani

This collection showed that Giorgio Armani has definately recovered from his illness earlier this year. The collection was a step away from his usual classic pieces and into pieces that were fun and sophisticated. The collection started off with a houndstooth blazer in red, white and black which was a good reinvention. There were quite a lot of exceptional jackets on show which were fitted and st

Cappucino Cake

Heavenly Cappucino CakeThis cake is perfect as a tea-time treat or made for someone special. The coffee flavour is delightful and if you're a coffee lover, make the coffee stronger. I halfed this recipe and cut the cake into two parts to make it a bit smaller but I would recommend using the full recipe if this is a gift or made to sell. I used the mascarpone frostingbut cream cheese fro

London Fashion Week Spring 2010: Burberry Prorsum, Jeremy Scott, Roksanda Illincic

Burberry Prorsum: Christopher Bailey always delivers he has revamped Burberry since his arrival and continues to shine. This collection was no exception and for me it is one of my favourite collections by Bailey so far. I love Burberry trench coats and their new makeover for S/S 10 made me love them even more. They were worn at mid-thigh length with exaggerated shoulders and ruched sleeves. Some

London Fashion Week Spring 2010: Luella, House of Holland & Christopher Kane

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to do each show individually for LFW as I've been preparing for my imminent return to uni (as I'm a fashion student said preparation means shopping). But fear not I shall be doing the stand out shows of LFW so far in bitesize chunks of three. Luella: I heart Luella, this collection truly indulged me in my love for anything and everything girly. Let

A modern and delicate collection for stylish and classy women. This is exactly what Morena captured for Spring. Belted peplums stood side by side with draped and sheer skirts. Sheer panelling and skin tight trousers were also worn here One of my favourite pieces was the fan effect dress which looked like a sea-shell. The highlight of the collection was the colour palette of whites, nudes, lilacs,

A warm welcome to LFW Sass & Bide who showed their collection in London for the first time. The collection kicked off with monochrome and included skirtsuits, jackets and harem pants. It then took a grecian, rock-chick/gladiator turn with gold embellishments and flowing fabrics. The black came next with body con dresses, gold and cropped harem pants and those killer embellished leggings. The

London S/S 10: Aminaka Wilmont

Some very earthy tones at Aminaka Wilmont. The collection started with neutral colours such as browns, sands and had a dusky effect, these were shown in draped mini dresses, sprayed on trousers and one shoulder dresses. There were blues next which followed the same print and lookesd very fresh and natural. I loved the hotpants here. The contrast in the collection came from the black leather which

London S/S 10: Mary Katrantzou

The Mary Katrantzou collection was a colour and print explosion. The clash of prints merged together effortlessly, while they combined stripes, waves, textural prints and a variety of colours they looked stunning. It was so nice to see such a colourful and bright collection after the neutral tones in NY. The pieces were still very wearable especially the dresses. The waved and fan necklines in so

London S/S 10: Mark Fast

Knitted Minis. I like. I also liked the use of plus-sized models who were used simply as models and not gimmicks or publicity and the knitted, body-con minis looked amazing. The other pieces to note were the glorious feather skirts, and ruffle skirts. The long strands of bead detailing looked great especially in the colour palette for the show of fuschia and lilac. The show was a tatch repetitive

London Fashion Week S/S 10: Danielle Scutt

Happy 25th Anniversary London Fashion Week. Danielle Scutt's show was definately something to celebrate. The models with their Mr Whippy hair, (yes, they remind me of ice-crem) immediately caught my eye. The collection was very feminine and reminded me of clothes that I used to dress my dolls in when I was little. It also reminded me of characters in story books too. The pieces included graphic d

This is a new tinted lip conditioner which is also SPF 15 by Sleek MakeUp. I bought two of them at Superdrug today as I wanted a brighter shade and a nude one also. They were priced at 2 for £6.99 or £3.91 for one. I normally only when clear lip glosses but thought I would go for a change. I got the Pink Cadillac 947 and Chocolate Kiss 948.
