High-end fashion label, Marchesa are famous for creating show stopping gowns for the red carpet, so it’s only natural that they’ve decided to create show stopping wedding gowns too. Georgina Chapman (one half of Marchesa) must have had lots of fun designing her own dress for her wedding to mogul, Harvey Weinstein because the designer has created a capsule bridal collection scheduled to launch next month!

I may have mentioned Calypso by Christiane Celle before, but it was only in passing and this stylist-cum-designer-cum-boutique owner definitely deserves to be in the spotlight! Born in France and inspired by the traditional clothing of Nepal and India, Celle lived in Manhattan and worked as a stylist for several years before opening the first of her many boutiques.

Anya Hindmarch (handbag designer, famous for the “I’m not a plastic bag” tote) has been targeted for the fourth time in just six months by the infamous smash-and-grab gang. Understandably she is not a happy bunny, sending out a warning to the thieves Anya said,
“Just you wait, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve and next time you won’t be so lucky.”
Donatella Versace took her dog along for the ride, as she made her way to appear on the Today show yesterday. We are lost for words.
The designer is in N.Y to promote the Versace Menswear launch at Barneys which also took place yesterday.
“It’s very difficult to explain en anglais, but for me, chic is really a question of attitude. And because of that, chic is an expression of the individual. She might be sensuous or mysterious, boyish or feminine. It’s the way you walk, the way you speak and the way you play with your body and what it can do.” - Designer, Sonia Rykiel on being chic
Call me crazy, but I periodically like to go onto the net-a-porter/Barneys/shopbop etc designer lists and click on unfamiliar names. I am forever getting emails declaiming the latest DVF, Louboutin, Balenciaga etc must-have, so I like to have minor excursions into the territory of a new name. I just noticed a new addition to the Net-A-Porter website called Alldressedup.
Designer Henry Holland took time out from designing clothes to stamp his signature on a special Easter Egg for the chocolate heaven that is, Thorntons.
Holland decorated the 1kg milk chocolate egg with his motto “Passion Factionis” (passion for fashion) along with the Holland family coat-of-arms making it the most sought after “Fashion Easter Egg”.
The customised egg will be auctioned on eBay next week with all proceeds going to the children’s charity Barnardo’s.
