I was hit with a really bad case of the flu last week, which meant updates were slow due to an unusually long recovery which I think was due to exhaustion more than anything. Anyway I’m back and fighting fit! I haven’t posted much music in a while so here’s one of my favourites…. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

Modelling tends to be perceived by many as an easy occupation with great rewards - free designer clothes, lucrative campaigns and a glamorous lifestyle - that sometimes it’s easy to forget that it’s a profession that is not without its pressures. I wanted to get an honest and open insight into the modelling industry and caught up with the gorgeous model and dancer, Nina Malone. A previous contestant of Britain’s Next Top model, Nina has since gone on to carve out a successful career for herself and has travelled to some of the worlds most beautiful destinations as part of her job. I was lucky enough to grab some of Nina’s time to talk about her experiences. I hope you enjoy the interview and for those who write in asking for modelling tips/advice….this one is for you.

The smock shape has dominated trends for a couple of seasons now, with loose cuts and a ‘fluid’ silhouette being summer favourites. However fashion week provided a sneak peek into the Autumn/Winter 2007/08 trends and tight fit appears to have established itself as the shape for autumn.

This creation by Alessandro Dell’Acqua is perhaps a bit too daring for most but it should give you a sense of what’s to come. For some, to whom the loose fit was a saviour, don’t let this trend plunge you in to a state of despair, there is always a way to suit every style to your physical shape, so if you don’t feel that the slim cut mini is for you then go with a tightly fitted top and high waist tailored slacks.
