After Williamson’s grand return to London Fashion Week this season. I was given the privilege of interviewing the man himself post show. But one thing to note is when I say five minutes I actually mean one minute thirty seconds. He is of course a very busy man, and in […]

London Fashion Week SS10: William Tempest
Hands up right now, I love William Tempest, and after being slightly disappointed with his ill fitting collection last season I was very excited to see his Spring/Summer 2010 offering. The catwalk was suitably packed but sadly started an hour late, however, it was worth the wait. Gorgeous structured dresses […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Jaeger London
This show had a very starry front row. Not only was Peaches Geldof, Jade Parfitt, Erin O’Connor and Tamsin Egerton there but David Walliams also put in an appearance. However it wasn’t any of these who caused the catwalk to fall into mass excitement, but instead it was the presence […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Matthew Williamson
Matthew Williamson made a much anticipated return to the London catwalks. And his Spring Summer look was clean, sexy and somewhat futuristic. Again shoulders were key and the colours were purples, hot pink, silver and flash of lime. The shoes very nearly stole the show, but then the dresses, the […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Nicole Farhi
This show made me nervous, last season Nicole Farhi suddenly and dramatically reworked her standard style into something fresher, more cutting edge. It was exciting, and I wondered if she would continue this feel through into Spring Summer. Was it as strong as Autumn Winter? No. Was it a let […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Betty Jackson
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but shoulders are in. And they will remain ‘in’ right through Spring Summer 2010 as well, Betty Jackson will make sure of it. Betty Jackson’s clothes always have her fingerprint clearly marked. You would know you were at a Betty Jackson show, but this […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Ashish
Ashish can be a bit hit or miss. You see dresses you love and then they’re mixed in with strange jersey pieces or like last season crazy pom poms. This season was coherent, funky, and packed full of pieces you’d want in your wardrobe. Yes, the king of sequins pulled […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Kinder Aggugini
If Alice from Alice in Wonderland were ever to meet Coco Chanel then she may have ended up looking somewhat like Kinder’s creations. An unusual snakeskin print took centre stage alongside monochrome and ladylike tweeds. This was both sleek and girly with an air of eccentricity. Kinder is without doubt […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Aminaka Wilmont
Tight, tight and super tight. Aminaka Wilmont went beyond body con and created a whole new level of cling. Yes there was Lycra, yet the cuts were short and tight but no it wasn’t slutty, instead it was beautiful and feminine. In a collection inspired by dancers and industrial spaces, […]
Read MoreLondon Fashion Week SS10: Bora Aksu
This collection was inspired by the Oscar Wilde story ‘The Happy Prince’ and like the story I loved it. I agree that Bora Aksu is not for everyone, his designs are whimsical, incredibly girly and at times a little over the top. But this collection was more grown up, paired […]
Read MoreHow Darphin saved my skin
So a luxury beauty brand, gets in touch and offers you a skin scanning treatment, what do you say? “When, where, can I come today?” Of course. This is exactly what I did and ended up at Darphin headquarters to have my skin scanned. Now I have always been fairly […]
