It’s not often that the fashion crowd gets so excited that their facial muscles start to twitch at the sight of a catwalk show. So it can only be a testament to how utterly, gob-smackingly and outrageously beautiful Viktor & Rolf’s Paris show was that there were more oooh’s and aaah’s going on than in... Read more
Now here’s something to raise your eyebrows at on this sunny Monday morning, here in London. For those of you not yet in the know, (and we’ll admit that neither were we), Andrew Heather was named Artistic Director of Revillon in October of 2011. To mark this strategic assignment, a new Revillon flagship boutique will... Read more
On Wednesday night we headed to the très cool concept store, Colette, in Paris to celebrate its 15th birthday. The in-store bash also coincided with the launch of an exhibition of 150 portraits created by Darcel.

If you’ve already fallen off the no-alcohol-January bandwagon, or let the gym lapse after only the third week, then you need to... Read more
Our favourite council has commissioned some of its local talent to design limited edition cotton shopping totes to promote its Love Hackney, Shop local campaign. The impressive roster of designers: Canadian knitwear designer Mark Fast, designer of the moment Simone Rocha, luxury shoe designer Atalanta Weller and menswear designer William Richard Green, also just so...

We have to admit, when this dropped into our inbox just before Christmas, we were a little sceptical to say the least. Psychic T-shirts? Pah. But that was before the January blues hit, post New Year’s highs. And needing a little pick-me-up that wasn’t alcohol-fuelled, we thought it couldn’t harm to take another look at... Read more
Feeling the Christmas cheer yet? No? Us neither. Despite stuffing ourselves silly with mini mince pies last week to try and warm our cockles, the festive feeling just hasn’t quite reached our blood stream. Perhaps we haven’t had enough mulled wine yet? So, if you, like us are not quite ready for all things Christmas,... Read more
When one receives an email pitching a possible collaboration just two days before the proposed shoot on foreign shores, the majority of people would probably shy away, claim they’re too busy and park the idea completely.
