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 […]

They say: Discover the incredible fictions of Joan Fontcuberta in his first […]
MoreFall at The Row
From catwalk to editorial – The Row, pictured, above, in Vogue UK September 2014 and, below, at NYFW: The Row earlier this year: The Olsen twins are opening their first The Row retail outlet in Los Angeles later this year. Would love to go but doubt I shall find myself in LA anytime soon … […]
