Fashion royalty Anna Dello Russo was one of the first to fall for Katrantzou’s...

They manage to play the game while constantly rearranging the field of play and changing the rules… All with human grace, attitude and style.

On thursday night, I visited the Christmas showrooms of online retail site my-wardrobe.com in Camden. It was  definitely a festive evening, despite the torrential London rain; between thumbing through the stylist’s Christmas pickings with the other bloggers, munching on adorable Christmas themed cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery and sipping on champagne along to the dulcet tones of Bing Crosby, I somehow started to feel christmassy… To... 

The ‘Crombie’ coat takes its name from J & J Crombie limited, a British fashion company famous for their luxury, three quarter length wool overcoat. A key statement piece, this quintessentially British style is a clear nod to the late sixties and early seventies, when the skinhead youth culture adopted vintage versions, and when mods often wore it as an alternative to the trench coat or fishtail parka, to add to their clean-cut image. While...

I’ve been reluctant to acknowledge the fact that no, I’m not in New York any more, and as nice as it is to be able to walk down the street without having to make regular stops for air con, to get the tube (note: not the subway) without making any mistakes, and to have waitresses understand me the first time when I ask for ‘a glass of water’, I have to admit that I do miss the big apple a little. I finally got my film back today,...
