Too 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 […]
MoreLFW is underway …
London Fashion week (LFW) kicked off last week and here are just a few of my initial favourites from the – slightly more funky than NY – London designers. More to come later in the week …
MoreNYFW 2015: Looks To Love
With NYFW ended and London FW starting today, I thought I’d have a quick look back over the collections to date – mostly NYFW but with one or two from Sao Paulo, Copenhagan, Berlin etc. – and pick out some of my favourite looks, remembering always that this is about beautiful inspiration rather than day-to-day […]
MoreThe Row S/S 2015
Ensconced as I am in front of my TV, watching the entirety of Sons of Anarchy season 6, I have taken time to check out The Row at NYFW. No apologies for featuring The Row yet again as S/S 2015 is another fabulous collection for grown up fashionista’s to lust after. Vogue’s comments on The Row for […]
MoreAnticipating … Iris Van Herpen
With Fashion Week season kicking off, a timely reminder from Crane TV of the craft behind one of the individual shows: click across to see images and video on the work of Iris Van Herpen. Fabulous. Anticipating Spring/Summer 2015 …
MoreDolce and Gabbana Coat
So, if you were thinking to spend £3,770 on a winter coat, this beautiful D&G number would be just the thing, no?
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. She’s a normal looking female rocking her designer glad-rags and rock-chic bleached blonde hair. Way to bring Haute Couture to real(ish) life. Let the fashion police rot in designer […]
MoreBook: Dior Couture
How stunning is this photo, above? Just too beautiful. From the coffee table book, Dior Couture by Patrick Demarchelier, it makes me want to see more. Frustratingly, I think I have this book but am I able to find it right now, when I want it? No. Grrr. How annoying is that? For the same […]
MoreIconic Photography: Alek Wek by Herb Ritts
I’ve always loved this iconic photo, above, of Alek Wek by Herb Ritts so it was interesting to listen to Alek Wek speak about the shooting of it on ShowStudio: Alek Wek by Herb Ritts. The Alek Wek interview is one of a series, Subjective, where: Nick Knight and SHOWstudio present the history of contemporary […]
