  • Today is Burberry Day!
    I knew it was a good day when I woke up this morning, and you want to know why it’s so good? Well because Mayor Bloomberg has declared it Burberry Day. Ok, so it’s technically only Burberry Day in New York but I can get in the spirit. To celebrate the brands move to a new headquarters on Madison Avenue they are having an exclusive party and will be switching on the...

She has of course recently appeared in the Star Trek movie, but she did play Spock’s mother and died, so it wasn’t exactly a starring role. But perhaps it is a steady return to the limelight. The cover has been shot by...

  • Mixed signals from the Cavalli camp
    He’s selling, no he isn’t, yes he is, no he isn’t. So what is Roberto Cavalli doing with his company? I’m not sure he even knows. He told WWD: “I’m not sure I want to sell in the end, it’s more logical to buy rather than to sell now.” Cavalli had planned to sell a stake in his company, and a number of bidders came forward.

  • Nicola Roberts works Blitz style
    We’ve been hearing for a while that Blitz style is due for a comeback. In this time of recession we will apparently be taking notes from our sisters of the 40s. Landgirl chic remains one of the coolest trends, but it is a style that is notoriously hard to pull off. Due to it’s carefree look which actually requires hours of hair rollering and pout painting. But one...

  • Amy Winehouse to become a fashion designer
    Amy Winehouse seems an odd choice for the fashion world to love. Ok, so she has a crazy beehive and some interesting eye make up. But let’s face it, it’s been a long time since anyone saw her fully clothed. That hasn’t stopped the fash pack from declaring her a muse and thus creating a style icon. And now she is set to turn her hand to fashion design. She is loved...
