Black and red appeared to be the popular colour of choice last night at the Oscars, which made for a lack lustre red carpet. But rather than focus on what the majority were wearing, let’s throw the spotlight on the outfits that, for better or worse, did make an impact.
The award for the most unusual outfit of the evening went to Marion Cotillard (pictured above), who sparkled in a figure hugging mermaid like, Jean Paul Gaultier frock.

Like many a trend, soft florals were guaranteed to make a comeback. We’re loving the revival of the summery prints, not just because it gets us in the mood for the warmer months ahead (anyone else excited that Spring is just round the corner?) but it also gives us the chance to dust off and breathe new life into our floral dresses.
If you don’t happen to have a flowery dress tucked away behind the chunky knits and the cashmere ...
It could possibly have been the fact that Valentines day occured during London fashion week….who knows? But its safe to say that the majority of collections at fell into two camps:
Decidely romantic, (lots of ruffles, chiffon, jewel tones, delicate shapes and sheer fabrics)….
and eerily dark, (black, black and more black…sharp tailoring and strong shoulders).

The most common question asked while waiting for shows to start has got to be, “So…which has been your favourite show so far?” Now that all the chaos is over and I’ve had a chance to reflect on the week that was London Fashion Week, I must admit I have two favourites " Aganovich and Deryck Walker (although it could well have been three as word is that Avsh Lom Gur’s collection was amazing!). Others that came close - ...
With the Oscar’s confirmed we’re almost certain the red carpet will be hot, hot, hot! Celebrities are certain to take fashion risks in a bid to make the headlines and goody bag gifts are likely to be more extravagant than ever. According to our sources nominees in the running for an Oscar for best actress will each receive a sexy Victoria’s Secret lingerie set featuring a diamond pendant designed by Heidi Klum for Mouawad. How much is it worth? ...

Go Red for Women is a movement passionately dedicated to fighting back against heart disease, by educating women and helping them find their own personal path to better health for life.

The show began with the Ashish we’ve come to know and love - sequins and colour! This wasn’t a collection for the career woman that works long hours, instead it was made for the lady “taking time out….from a life which didnt deliver the glamour she’d once anticipated”.
I didn’t actually pick up on that… instead I felt it was more parisian city girl chic - glam shift dresses came in sequinned houndstooth, or with big cut out ...
After a couple of days of running from show to show and spotting similarities in each collection, you tend to think you have a fair idea of what to expect from the rest of the week however the collection at Armand Basi today totally threw me off. While many other designers so far have opted to cinch waists with skinny or big belts, designer Markus Lupfer went with volume and lots of it!
The collection was rich in colour ...
After being away from LFW for two seasons in a row, Emma Cook made a comeback that was much anticipated. Champagne and canapés were served prior to the show courtesy of Topshop and everyone was feeling bubbly and excited to see what Emma had cooked up (no pun intended).
Just as it was all about to kick off a photographer screamed “Get your bag off the catwalk”, everyone turned, only to discover the culprit was an embarrassed Philip Green ...
If it wasn’t for the outerwear and infrequent use of heavier fabrics one would have thought the AW08 collection from Eley Kishimoto was for Spring/Summer. It was colourful delight! The collection was titled “Bonnie Bunny” and was intended to “twist the quintessential class of British country living into a showy comical cartoon world”, I guess that explained the combination of tweed shorts with white tights.
It was a cute collection filled with lots of shift dresses in a range of ...
Remember how we raved about Felder Felder after attending their debut show last season? Well judging by the turn out for their AW08 presentation, everyone else is raving about them too! And rightly so.
After teasing us with a soft feminine collection for Spring/Summer 08, twin sister duo Daniela and Annette, did a complete u-turn with this collection by referencing the grunge era of the nineties. The result? A collection that was powerful with lots of attitude.

Presenting his AW08 collection at the Royal Opera House, Ashley Isham upped the glam factor and urged us ladies to channel our inner sex kitten next season. The collections palette ranged from cobalt blue, and bright orange to purple and caramel.
Snakeskin waistcoats complimented long evening dresses with plunging necklines. Edgier looks came in the form of patent leather biker jackets paired with body con dresses. Jewel brooches embellished various pieces and added a lovely final touch to some ...
Inspiration for Ann-Sofie Backs collection came from today’s self obsessed celebrities and their constant need to stay in the limelight, in particular all the knicker flashing that’s been inflicted on us. It was unarguably an interesting concept.
With cartoon themes blaring through the speakers, models paraded down the catwalk in g-strings that were worn as garters. G-strings were also worked into silk lace dresses, jeans and tops. Prints were created from pixellated images of Britney Spear’s crotch and used on t-shirts, ...
How would your friends describe you?
Honest ,Gentle, positive, optimistic, passionate & a visionary (although it’s hard to see myself that way!!)
What can we expect from your Autumn/Winter 08 collection?
