  • Armani unveils his most dramatic store yet
    There are time stopping moments in life, they are nothing out of the ordinary but they are moments we hold close to our hearts. One of mine is sitting in the Armani Café with one of my closest friends, soaking in the Milan summertime, as I tucked into my overpriced prawn and piece of mango, and her into a single scallop and mushroom. Although this doesn’t sound ideal,...

  • New York Fashion Week: William Rast AW09
    Last night, William Rast not only brought in the celebrities (naturally Jessica Biel was there to support her man, she is stunning!) but also pulled in fashions heavyweights – Anna Wintour (she is tiny!) and Carine Roitfeld (she is amazing!). It was obvious not just from Wintour and Roitfeld’s presence but also from the collection that Justin Timberlake, his...

  • Victoria Beckham unveils her latest collection for AW09
    Shoot me now. I’m actually considering buying a dress or two from Victoria Beckham’s AW09 collection. Thumbs up to the Posh one. I personally think in these economic times her collection might actually thrive, and I’m saying this despite the fact that Victoria’s collection goes against everything Anna Wintour

  • Don’t worry New York Topshop is on its’ way
    Topshop; the fabulous, wonderful, loved by all store has been promising a US move for a long time. A New York launch was all set for October last year, then it was put back until November and then put off until further notice. Well that notice has come and the launch date is: 2nd April 2009. The enormous 40,000 sq ft store is positioned on Broadway in trendy SoHo. The...

  • New York Fashion Week: Lela Rose AW09
    With not a trouser in sight, Lela Rose was an orgasmic explosion of colour and romance. The collection began with tweed skirts paired with ribbed cashmere sleeved tops and finished with sleeveless cropped jackets cinched at the waist. Now, I’m not a fan of tweed at the best of times but I must admit the overall look was gorgeous and well styled. This was followed...

  • New York Fashion Week: BCBGMAXAZRIA AW09
    2009 marks the 20th anniversary of BCBGMAXAZRIA and I was really looking forward to the show. Sadly, I was disappointed. For me, knowing what your client wants is the most important ingredient in a collection. Right now, the BCBG woman most likely has a desire to feel sexy and powerful and she needs functional clothing. BCBGMAXAZRIA, did well with the latter – we were...

  • New York Fashion Week: Charlotte Ronson AW09
    Of course, it was a family affair at Charlotte Ronson. Mum, brother and sister turned up to show their support with Lindsay Lohan in tow who posed for the paps in the DJ booth with Sam. On a side note someone needs to feed Lohan a burger or two.

  • NY Fashion Week AW08: Tuleh
    Tuleh’s Fall 2008 line was in keeping with what critics have been saying about the rest of the Fall 2008 collections (

  • NY Fashion Week AW08: Twinkle by Wenlan
    Even the name Twinkle by Wenlan makes you smile, so it is difficult to be displeased with the designer’s latest outing. True, it wasn’t groundbreaking, but the label is known for its fun, youthful designs as opposed to plowing into new fashion territory. Simply put, you won’t find a power suit here, or a high-fashion gown. Instead, Wenlan hits a sweet note in...

  • NY Fashion Week AW08: The Academy of Art University
    Ahh, Fashion Week. While many designers are familiar faces in the tents at Bryant Park, there are some who have never before displayed their work in such a high-profile setting. This is especially true of the Academy of Art University show, which showcases the creations of select recent graduates (a distinction that no other fashion school can claim). The excitement...
