Emma Ferrer, Harper’s Bazaar
Wow. Stunning cover by US Harper’s Bazaar, September 2015, of Emma Ferrer, Audrey Hepburn’s granddaughter. Read more on the Bazaar website: Emma Ferrer Opens Up and click across from there to the photo shoot by Michael Avedon, grandson of Richard Avedon. Will need to buy the magazine to check but I’m guessing the outfit is […]
MoreToo Thin …?
Reluctant as I am to wade into any debate about size-ism, I have to say that I did look at the beautiful model, above in Zac Posen, and felt an instinctive “oh no, that’s just too thin …” vibe wash over me. It may be, and I really do hope, that this young woman is […]
MoreLena Dunham at the Emmy’s
I loved Lena Dunham in her Giambattista at the Emmy’s. Sure, she doesn’t look like a catwalk model but that’s because – newsflash – she isn’t.

[Douglas Hall described Pat Douthwaite as] ”a modern representative of the peintres maudits, [one of the] unfortunate […]

MoreInspirational Women: Maya Angelou RIP
Hearing the news of her death, it is impossible, today, to get past memories of the great Maya Angelou. Her thoughts, writing, poetry and prose, have so enriched the lives of those in her time and will, I’m sure, continue to do so for all future generations. Hard to say more as I actually feel […]
