  • Milan Fashion Week: Versace AW09
    Versace brought full throttle colour to Milan Fashion Week. If you were fearing AW09 was going to be all black and grey then Versace is the designer for you. There was of course black and shades of silver, but hot pink, post box red and aqua blues made up a glorious palette. You can always rely on Donatella Versace to create ultra sexy, super skimpy gowns and this was...

  • Milan Fashion Week: Fendi AW09
    Watch out boys, Karl Lagerfeld has created the ultimate collection for the urban warrior. This collection was sexy, subtle, feminine and tough. It was one of those catwalks where you look at the clothes once and think nice, and then you look again and think wow.

  • Milan Fashion Week: Dolce & Gabbana AW09
    What a star studded event, you can always rely on the Dolce & Gabbana boys for drama and they delivered both on and off the runway. It was the most starry of front rows, there was the face of the new Dolce & Gabbana make up line; Scarlett Johansson, actress Freida Pinto, actress Kate Hudson not forgetting Naomi Watts, Eva Mendez, Lauren Hutton, Elsa Pataki, Claudia...

  • Milan Fashion Week: Marni AW09
    What can you not live without? Well it has to be a pair of yeti gloves. And thanks to Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni you will be lusting over a pair of these bizarre creations. Who would have ever thought yeti accessories; heavy gold necklaces and bug eye sunglasses could work so well?!

  • Milan Fashion Week: Prada AW09
    Miuccia Prada is the designer everyone looks to each Fashion Week because you know what she sends down the catwalk will be reproduced a million times the following season. She is a trendsetter, a revolutionary and a damn good designer. This season was no exception. Imagine that a character from Gosford Park ran off with a fisherman and you’ll understand the feel to...

  • Milan Fashion Week: Missoni AW09
    If you’ve ever wondered about how to layer successfully, take a note from this show. Missoni took layering to the limit and pulled it off brilliantly. The best way to describe the look is, if you told a group of fashionistas that they were going trekking across the Sahara, this is probably what they would turn up wearing.

  • London Fashion Week: PPQ AW09
    You can always rely on PPQ to bring colour to Fashion Week. Their Autumn/Winter 09 palette is full of pistachios, oranges, royal blue and very bright reds. I think the best way to describe the collection is Park Lane Princess meets 60s style. The PPQ show is always a star-studded event and sure enough Alexa and Peaches were there, with Daisy, Alice and Pixie strutting...

  • London Fashion Week: Luella AW09
    Luella is one of those brands that are loved by all. With her wearable designs, that make everyone look stylish she is a fashion lover’s dream. She was therefore going to face a tough crowd. Her past few seasons have been so good, so inspiring that she was likely to face criticism no matter what she did. But for me, this was a very good collection. I liked the style,...

  • London Fashion Week: Christopher Kane AW09
    For the Spring/Summer 09 shows, I appeared to be one of the only people who wasn’t in awe of Kane’s offering. Yes I love those acid brights, and I am rather partial to a bit of leopard print. But I really didn’t take to the scalloped almost stegosaurus like edging and those monkey motifs frightened me. But this Autumn/Winter 09 collection, I really get the hype.

  • London Fashion Week: Eley Kishimoto AW09
    “Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away” this was the Eley Kishimoto theme. After handing over my invite which looked like a boarding pass, I was swept to my seat all to the sound of airport lounge chatter which came over the speakers. The show then began, and an air stewardess inspired collection strutted down the runway.
