With another fab new Stickman illustration included for kicks (don’t ya love this one – pretty colours …). above, just thought I’d mention that lots of people seem to be refreshing and updating their websites over the summer months and some have even begun to feature new season stock – I know, it’s a bit […]

Anna Scholz Sale

Quick heads-up to say that Anna Scholz – big bold plus size designs – have reduced their entire stock by lots of £££ in a last summer push to entice you. With the psycho babble in my head re being overweight, medication, body dissonance et al., Anna Scholz’ prints are just way too out there […]

Like My Bra? Hold The Applause …

I’m a huge supporter of stylish adaptive clothing but I’m not sure this ‘Clap-Off’ Bra quite hits the mark? Supposedly for arthritis sufferers, and anyone else struggling with clasps, the front fastening springs open if you clap – not something to wear to the theatre then or, indeed, any event where applause is the order […]

Conceptual Couture: Viktor and Rolf

Celebrating two decades of their own label, Viktor and Rolf made a return to couture after thirteen years of absence with a cerebral, beautiful, collection of garments, all in black, all in the same fabric, with reference to the Japanese art of zen in theme. They showed some gloriously wearable draping and styling along with […]

More Dior …

Have spent most of today watching Wimbledon – go, Murray – but have found time to take a fuller look at the Dior show from Paris and, oh my, if I loved yesterday’s black dress by Dior, this one, above, blows my mind! Tiger stripes! It is the perfect party dress … damn, wish I […]

Fashion Illustration: Raf Simons, Dior

Love it when designers are into fashion illustration and even more so when they reference it in their work, as seen from Raf Simons for Dior in the F/W 2013/14 Collection. Nice comment and slideshow on Blouin Art Info – Raf Simons Reclaims Christian Dior’s Artistic Past – about this a few days ago. Do […]

Simone Rocha Coat

Beautiful Simone Rocha Coat seen in the FT’s How To Spend It App this weekend. Silk-mix and not cheap, £896, but a design that would suit lots of shapes and plus-sizes. So pretty.

Pola Thomson on Not Just A Label

Really pleased to see that one of my favourite New York based designers, Pola Thomson, is being sold on Not Just A Label (NJAL). If you don’t know her, take a look at the NJAL Editorial on her as well as her NJAL product page. Her designs are often strikingly architectural and very forgiving to […]
