The pre-fall shows are almost unfair , they hint at what our favourite fashion names are going to offer, but make us wait until Fashion Week arrives several weeks later to provide us with a complete and satisfying picture. That said, the pre-fall collections get me through many a dreary […]

Upon first glance of the title, “Wife Dressing: The Fine Art of Being a Well-Dressed Wife, which was first penned in 1959 by model and designer, Anne Fogarty, I instantly thought that this recently re-released “how-to book would be outdated or even degrading for on-the-go, modern day women like ourselves.

Read MoreMenswear AW08: Clueless or Clued up?
Remember the sequence in Clueless where Alicia Silverstone’s character bemoans the fashion choices of the males of her generation? As she decries their “baggy jeans and backward caps”, an image of guys walking down the sidewalk wearing said jeans and caps flashes across the screen. Fortunately, fashion for men has […]

High street fashion has done it again, using designer duds as inspiration for their own more affordable, yet no less fashion-forward, lines. This time our beloved Topshop has created the Yves St Laurent Paint Splattered Tank. Although my budget dictates that I nearly always go High Street instead of high-end, […]

Front row glamour at its finest!

Pretty florals for Spring. Predictable, right? Not, so much.

Read MoreModels: Not just a pretty face.
It’s easy to dismiss models as a pretty face and nothing more. Their job is to look good. And though Tyra may try to convince the general public that good models have an A+ personality to go along with their A+ looks, it’s easy to forget when faced with Daria’s […]

Read MoreProject Runway Season 4: Episode 8 Rundown
This week’s show was definitely my favourite so far. Throughout this season, we’ve seen a lot of pretty dresses and immaculate pieces, but we haven’t witnessed anyone push the envelope (a la Santino Rice from a couple seasons ago). The challenge itself, creating an avant-garde look and a related, prêt-a-porter […]
