Italian Style on the Silver Screen
Movies have always influenced fashion. From Joan Crawford in her Letty Lynton dress, through to Audrey Hepburn taking her Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Faye Dunaway as the beret wearing Bonnie Parker, to Diane Keaton as Annie Hall, fashion has taken its cues from the best of film styling. And perhaps it is the magical world of Italian cinema that has had the greatest influence on fashion trends. From Lucia Bose clad in haute Couture in ‘Cronaca di un Amore'(1950) to the earthy sensuality of Silvano Mangano in Bitter Rice(1949), Italian cinema has made clothes an important part of the film story, able to highlight style, mood and personality through the swish…

Chelsea Girl returns.
One of my overwhelming memories of being a very young girl was Saturday shopping with my mom in West Bromwich. I remember John Menzies had a great toy department, and that my mom loved a shop called ‘Lady at Lord John’, which just sounded such a cool name. But mainly I remember Chelsea Girl. Situated in the Queens Square,which also had the amazing floor to ceiling fountains, this shop was the most amazing place I had ever been to, still psychedelic looking,with a sign resembling a rainbow,it was a treasure trove to a little girl who already loved fashion. Flash forward to the 1980s, and groovy Chelsea girl, with its…
