It’s safe to say that J.W. Anderson is something of an enfant terrible in the fashion world. Not yet 30 the Belfast born, London based designer has won huge acclaim in the fashion world for his fresh and quirky designs. He won the 2012 British Fashion Award for Emerging Talent: Ready to Wear and in a huge nod to his abilities he was appointed as the successor to Christopher Kane at Versace’s … [Read more...]
It’s not just hype, Tom Ford is the pinnacle of men’s style. In fact, everything he touches turns to gold – metaphorically speaking of course! Here are Mr Ford’s golden rules for style, grooming and everyday living. 1. I don’t believe in playing around much with suit cuts. I like a fairly classic shape that gives a man strong shoulders, a fitted waist, and long legs. Classic … [Read more...]
DSquared’s winter 2012 campaign is as fresh and super-trendy as ever, with the welcome addition of colour for those colder months ahead. The theme of the campaign is ‘Homecoming Queen’, which was shot by Mert & Marcus and features top models Daphne Groeneveld, Liuk Bass, Bette Franke, Frida Aisen and Simon van Meervenne. The year is 1963 and the boys have a bad attitude and the … [Read more...]
We’ve all had that awkward moment when we hear ourselves on tape for the first time and thought, “that’s not what I sound like”!

This season, D&G menswear is enjoying a spot of vintage Gianni Versace influence, with brightly coloured foulard prints appearing on shirts, scarves, shorts and trousers. Relaxed pyjama shapes, in trousers and jackets … [Read more...]

I’ve never been the type of girl who fantasised about their wedding day. I never wanted Prince Charming to come and save me; I never thought about the kind of dress I would wear as I walked down the aisle. Delphine Grandjouan has changed that – well, the dress bit at least. For those who regularly read my fashion features, I’ve never made secret of my love of Paris, 1920s glamour and … [Read more...]
I’m a big fan of designer men’s fragrances (quelle surprise!) and one of my firsts was Chanel’s Allure Homme several years ago. Then along came Allure Homme Sport and I was hooked. A few years ago the design house released Allure Homme Edition Blanche, which if I’m being totally honest wasn’t great and was too similar to many of the other men’s fragrances on the market at the … [Read more...]

At a special celeb-packed event in New York recently, Miu Miu unveiled ‘The Woman Dress’, the third in a series of short films by distinctive female filmmakers exploring women’s love affair with Miu Miu.
