I’m definitely feeling the pressure … Christmas is looming like a fluffy white snow cloud ready to consume my brain. Subliminal triggers from months of advertising plus decades of ingrained habit – that’s the problem, I’m sure. However, rather than fight it, I succumb. No fight. No hassle. Colour me Christmas happy. And, here’s my […]
MoreAmidst the descending mass of Christmas promotions cascading down on me, I saw a lovely room-spray – of all the things to catch my eye! – with an illustration by Kuntzel and Deygas on the bottle. Fashion illustrator antennae twitching, I looked them up. Amidst a fine body of their work, I loved this Youtube […]
MoreFinally got a chance to catch up on my emails and read this piece from Blouin ArtInfo on the Rick Owens S/S 2014 Show: Dance Transcends Fashion At Rick Owens. I’d seen some of the PR on it – unconventional sizes, dancers not models, multi-racial, kicking against the form – but, as reported, it all […]
MoreSpring/Summer is over (fashion weeks’ timeline) and I’m back in the real world but, again, looking at pom-poms (twice in one week?!) … on slippers today. Mary Ching cashmere slippers to be precise. These look so warm and toasty for my toes and they come in black. Buy from La Maison Couture. Winter is coming […]
MoreAlong with individual designers whose generic looks I love, there are always specific outfits/looks from a diverse collection of designers that I see and admire across the entire span of multiple fashion weeks as they occur. Like most of us, I’m really looking for the inspirational, something I might be able to adapt for my […]
MoreOk, I think I’ve gone mad. Have just seen these Jimmy Choo Pom Pom Bags and think they’re too cute … Buy me something pink and call me a girl … Or just put me out of my misery. Cute or not cute?
MoreOoh, just read that there will be Kara Walker exhibition on at The Camden Arts Centre from 11 October 2013 to 5 January 2014. I will definitely be going to that as have loved her work since seeing it in a huge exhibition at The Whitney in New York almost two decades ago. If you […]
MoreWe all have a favourite look, don’t we? With all the spring fashion shows over, for Spring/Summer 2014, my personal pick for star designer is Uma Wang. Love, love, love is oozing from me for her. I would buy and wear nothing else but this whole collection for the entire summer and beyond if I […]
MoreWith seasonal fashion in the news, I figure it’s an ideal time to take a more in-depth look at Daniela Gregis whose collection I’ve made note of previously. As you know, I’m always looking for style that might work for those of us who are less than Paris-thin, way past puberty, maybe somewhat unconventionally shaped, […]
MoreIn a reflective mood today, thinking about style and beauty and how extraordinarily difficult it is to inject them into a life-less-able … though maybe it’s life that is the problem rather than the less-able. Who knows? Seems like just the moment to flash up one of Hannah Ensor’s latest illustrations for +Black – based […]
