Baftas – style highs and lows.
Last night was the most important night on the British film calendar – The Baftas. As expected, ‘The Kings speech’ dominated the awards winning seven in total, including Best film, best Actor for Colin Firth and Best supporting actor and actress for Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. Best actress went to Natalie Portman, who was absent due to her pregnancy, but many other Hollywood stars made the trip across the pond and braved the wet London weather for the ceremony.

Fashion Deja Vu…or Haven’t I seen that before?
I was enjoying an intense session with this Month’s Vogue, when a thought crossed my mind. The images, the ad campaigns, the styles, the faces. Even though these were meant to be brand spanking new, that all looked oddly familiar. That’s when I realised that 2011 will be the year of fashion/style and celebrity deja vu, or, to put it another way, that face looks oddly familiar. Want more proof? You’ve got it.

Edie Campbell is London Fashion’s latest it girl model. Featuring…
