LFW, SS13- Roksanda Ilincic
Roksanda Illincic is a fabulous designer who will go on to do even more fabulously wonderful things and have a career that will be so overly fabulous, fashion won’t know what hit it in its fabulously perky behind. Just so freaking fabulous. God I hate that word, and I will get into trouble with the…

LFW, SS13- Michael van der Ham
One of the most exciting things about London Fashion Week is the burst of new designers. That is the edge London holds over the rest, for all its quirk, it is the home for the young and fresh. Sorry I couldn’t help myself from a little ditty. Michael van der Ham is one such young,…

LFW SS13- ISSA
Daniella Issa Helayel obviously loves to make women beautiful. Glad to see she isn’t just sticking to the duchess-y type gowns in the wake of that engagement announcement that led to all kinds of Issa-like situations…no, this collection was bold and fun and flirty, it was the seventies babe meets the tropical chick and in…

LFW SS13- Vivienne Westwood Red Label
Dame Viv has a bee in her bonnet about climate-y type things and some very fashion-y things which she expressed subliminally in her very ladylike collection. The look was granny meets street meets first lady meets lunch ladies. It was a bit of everything really, and if you overlook the very crazy make-up, most looks…

Lace, leather, florals, pretty things and a poodle in a pea coat, were sent down the runway. And not to forget all those lovely Mulberry bags jollying down the runway.…

LFW- Emilia Wickstead
I fell in love with Emilia Wickstead on her first showing at London Fashion Week, and it won’t stop quite simply because, Emilia Wickstead is a supremely talented designer, one with a supremely beautiful future ahead of her. Her offer for SS13 was so prim and proper and so exquisitely made. In her second season…

NYFW; Victoria Beckham.
The evolution of Victoria Beckham as a designer is one that is closely watched by sceptics and greatly lauded by the fashion cognoscenti. Either way, whether you are for or against, whether you call her a “celebrity” designer (goodness I loathe that word) or a bonafide fashion designer, there is one thing you cannot deny;…

NYFW; Marc Jacobs.
Marc Jacobs will be remembered for being a definitive designer for many generations to come, certainly of our time. Whether he’s being loud and grunge or subtle and cool, in a time where fashion can often feel forced and same-y, he throws a spanner in the works and delivers the unexpected. As a designer, he…

NYFW-Look to Love; The School Run
Moms walk a majestic road and I have unparalleled respect for all mothers, because they do the damn thing and then some more. The school gate has become the new battlefield thanks to the likes of Elle McPherson and her model mum, school run outfits and the fact that the tabs have used this as…
