  • Exciting Times
    I know I’m probably aligning myself with the minority when I say this, but not only am I looking forward to Roberto Cavalli for H&M but I believe the line will be a success. Let’s hope I’m not forced to eat my words when the collection hits the stores in November! But seriously… judging from these preview pics I do think we’re in for a treat. In fact...

  • 5 tips for surviving fashion week
    I for one am looking forward to fashion week especially London Fashion week. (Yes I know I am biased) Although Preen have sold us out for New York and Gharani Strok is MIA this season, we do have the return of Matthew Williamson and Luella Bartley to look forward to!

  • On Off preview: Spring/Summer 08
    Going to a fashion show, especially one held in a club- is like starring in a show yourself. Everyone is immaculately dressed and as guests wait patiently for the show start they too make their own judgements on the outfit choices of others. As I waited for the ON|OFF Preview Spring/Summer 08 show - held on Aug 1 at the CC Club in London - to start, two guys behind me...

  • Has it been 10 years already?
    It’s been 10 years since the fashion industry was rocked by the senseless murder of Gianni Versace and 10 years since Matthew Williamson emerged.

When I started to become fashionably self aware - which coincided with my first experience of pocket money - my love for hip hop had me parading around in baggy clothing and big earrings....

  • The suit that reads minds
    If fashion is obsessed with the past what would it take for it to truly embrace the future? Designer Hussein Chalayan continues to toy with the idea that fashion’s future lies in the hands of function as well as style and if this is correct then it could be possible that the future is nigh.

  • Perfect pair of trainers
    Help! I’ve been a complete gym freak these past couple of months but my laid-back attitude towards investing in a decent pair of training shoes has come at a price and my ankles are crying out for more support. I’m thinking of investing in these pair of Puma’s – The Complete Tenos IV to be precise. I’m not the best at cutting through the technical jargon...

  • All in a day’s work….
    If you’ve been cut off from civilization for a week you’d be forgiven for thinking that the image above is of supermodel Naomi Campbell attending a premiere or a high profile event of some sort. It is in fact Naomi leaving New York’s Department of Sanitation after completing her five days of community service for throwing a mobile phone at her former housekeeper....
