  • Fashion Week: What on earth do I wear?
    Okay, so the words “Agyness Deyn buying coffee at some ungodly early hour, presumably on her way to be made up, coiffed and dressed for her bookings that day. This year, I will see models galore. But when faced with the biggest faces and names in fashion … what on earth do I wear?

  • Pre-Fall 2008: A taste of what’s to come
    The pre-fall shows are almost unfair – they hint at what our favourite fashion names are going to offer, but make us wait until Fashion Week arrives several weeks later to provide us with a complete and satisfying picture. That said, the pre-fall collections get me through many a dreary January day. The bright colours at Chloé piqued my interest (especially after...

  • Menswear AW08: Clueless or Clued up?
    Remember the sequence in Clueless where Alicia Silverstone’s character bemoans the fashion choices of the males of her generation? As she decries their “baggy jeans and backward caps”, an image of guys walking down the sidewalk wearing said jeans and caps flashes across the screen. Fortunately, fashion for men has come a long way. No longer exclusively...

  • Models: Not just a pretty face.
    It’s easy to dismiss models as a pretty face and nothing more. Their job is to look good. And though Tyra may try to convince the general public that good models have an A+ personality to go along with their A+ looks, it’s easy to forget when faced with Daria’s striking cheekbones, Jessica’s stunning eyes and Chanel Iman’s perfect lips peering up at you from...

  • Shwopping: The way of the future?
    Shop without leaving the house or spending a cent? Trade in those old Manolo Blahniks for a Chanel bag? Are the fashion gods finally thanking us for our voracious shopping habits or are they playing a ‘too good to be true’ trick on us? The concept of ‘shwopping’ is just starting to hit the web by storm. Similar to those clothing swap parties that have been going...

  • A brief look at the Pre-Fall collections.
    After sifting through the pictures of the pre-fall 08 collections we can’t help but feel excited at the prospect of fashion week. And If Zac Posen’s presentation is an indication of what’s to come then we literally can’t wait. His remarkable attention to detail is visible throughout! If you like your clothing pretty and cute then Posen’s collection...

  • Opinions: Anything goes…
    The world of fashion was an exciting escape from my humdrum reality of being a nerdy kid growing up in the suburbs. I remember when I was a teenager I would hole up in my bedroom for hours and ardently flip through stacks of fashion magazines and read them cover to cover. Not one article, caption, or even advertisement was passed over. I studied the latest styles...

  • Victoria’s Secrets In-Flight Show: Fun and Frolics!
    So…I’ve arrived at the Hotel Roosevelt in L.A (where Victoria’s Secrets are putting us up for the night) after what has got to be the most surreal flight ever, only to see Paris Hilton in the lobby (even more surreal…by the way her skin is unbelievably flawless) and I am tired! Not too tired to dish though. The fun and frolicking kicked off in the departure...
