+ individual style for inspiring women +
I’ve been reading a little about Israeli designer, Kedem Sassoon, this past week and, looking him up on Google, I like his style. With a plus-size wife, he apparently designs with her in mind and what’s not for the rest of us plus-size peeps to like about that? Sadly, his own website seems a little […]
MoreLocked in my bedroom by lift malfunction for the past couple of days, frozen by the persistent cold weather we are having, I have blown off some frustration looking at lots of Fall 2013 Youtube videos. Love the collection by Mary Katrantzou for its’ synchronicity of fashion and art. The shapes are architectural and the […]
MoreLooking through fashion illustrator Gladys Perint Palmer‘s book, Fashion People, I came across an illustration titled ‘We Three Kings …’ done in 1994, referring to Miyake, Yahamoto and Rei Kawakubo – photo by me attached here: Having huge amounts of Miyake in my own wardrobe from a couple of decades ago, I was driven to […]
MoreQuick newsflash if you’re anywhere near The Business Design Centre, Islington, London, over 20-24 March 2013 – that’s this weekend.

Looking around the website, there are some lovely relaxed styles and a whole section devoted to SHOP BLACK – marvellous to see … finally someone is getting the concept most dear to me. From their Style Agenda section, they […]
MoreI absolutely adore the 2013 A/W RTW collection by Gareth Pugh. Moody. Gothic. Stunning. So much to admire and inspire in look, fabric, ideas. Okay, clearly not entirely appropriate in terms of rushing out and buying off-the-shelf for this plus-size, wheelchair user but the line, fabric, colour and collars are features which all of us […]
MoreI was reading an article in the Intelligent Life series on Inspiring Women this weekend which turned my mind to women who have Inspirational Style. For me, inspirational style is about that which expresses the internal aspects of personality – humour, intelligence, awareness, reference – externally and then, I guess, it becomes about appreciating a […]
MoreI absolutely hate Spring and Summer. Oh, not actual Spring/Summer of course, just the annual need to replenish my everyday wardrobe with basic 100% cotton tops, in black, in my (plus) size. Quality design and manufacture of basics in plus sizes – always tricky. Black in spring/summer – always problematic. Now, in a new and […]
