For many years, Alberta Ferretti has been producing insanely exquisite clothes and her Fall/Winter 2014 Collection was just beautiful. Glorious fabrics, colours and styling throughout the whole range. I love the chunky fake pearl necklaces, fringes, lace, socks, shoes and boots as much as the ethereal delicacy of shimmer, shine and hue – all so […]
MoreI love this knitwear by RCA graduate, Xiao Li whom I read about this weekend in I-D Magazine: Knitwear Extraordinaire Xiao Li. From an internet search, there are many more stunning images available, showing work from her graduation collection in 2013, some of which I include here, as well as much editorial on her future prospects. […]
MoreI looked up the Ivan Grundahl Fall/Winter 2014 Collection, on the Copenhagen Fashion Week site, today – another of my favourite designer brands. And, it’s just fab-u-lous. All the images I’ve used here are to be found in the CFC Ivan Grundahl Runway Images section and there are many more besides. I encourage you to […]
MoreCatching up on my emails, I realised that I hadn’t looked at the most recent Haute Couture Collection of one of my favourite inspirational designers: Yiqing Yin. And, as always, the collection is beautiful. The images speak for themselves. Truly, fashion as art. Go across to Fashionising.com to see more of the Spring/Summer 2014, and […]
MoreWith New York Fashion Week winding up, it has to be time to look at my favourite collection: The Row A/W 2014 (via Fashionising.com) Yes, there’s lots of other collections that have been pretty and colourful and zany … yada, yada … but, me? Seems I love me some Olsen Twins – who’d have thought […]
MoreContinuing with my theme from yesterday, another Spring Collection is available online from one of my favourite stores for ‘differently-normal’ shapes and sizes: Wall London Spring 2014 Collection. As well as being easy fit, Wall sizes routinely go to UK 18-20 and up to UK 24 for their, more limited, OS range.. Along with sleek […]
MoreI’ve never been a huge fan of January Sales – oh, okay, they serve a purpose if there’s something specific you want to buy but, generally, I’m totally shopped out post Christmas. It’s really only as new seasons’ stock begins to trickle online that my aesthetic sense reawakens and doesn’t that date get earlier and […]
MoreI thought Melissa McCarthy looked fab in her – apparently self-designed – dress at the Golden Globes last night. Always tricky for plus-sizes who are so cruelly scrutinised at such events, she managed both glamourous and comfortable, in my opinion. Slightly sad that Chewetel Ejiofor didn’t win Best Actor as I’d been blown away by […]
MoreCelebrations over and it’s ‘Hello 2014’. Jan and Feb are generally the two worst months of the year for me so, no surprise that it’s wet, grey and miserable outside. All I am wanting to do is snuggle up and get warm, preferably swaddled in soft, stylish cashmere in as many forms as I am […]
