My favourite front Row looks from New York
It is September, and that means we are in the midst of the fun, frolics and fashion that make up the Fashion Weeks. Currently London is having its moment in the spotlight, following on from last weeks New York Fashion Week. And it is New York, and its eclectic mix of front rowers, who are the focus of this post. I love to watch the front rows, and, more specifically, the outfits that those sitting in those most coveted seats choose to wear. New York has a reputation for showing a range of stylish and cool looks, with a front row that can include anyone from SJP, Kate Bosworth, Alexa…

Michael Kors showcase from mywardrobe.com
In honour of New York fashion week, which is frankly flying past in a fast and furious wave of gorgeousness, today’s shopping focus is going to look at an American Classic. Michael Kors is a true New York hero, a man who creates beautiful pieces that are well cut, style rather than fashion focused, and guaranteed a life tenancy in your wardrobe. These are the perfect pieces to enhance your wardrobe, the separates that mesh in perfectly with all the items you already have, but with the added lustre of the iconic name Michael Kors. Think of all those classic American beauties like Carolyn Murphy, Lauren Hutton and Christie Brinkley,…

Victoria Beckham S/S 13 – good, but not great.
The latest collection from Victoria Beckham proved to be a further departure from the Roland Mouret style designs that made her name. Sure, there are some form fitting gowns, but these owe more to the minimalist, lingerie style designs of Calvin Klein than to the hourglass fifties silhouette of Mouret. I have to say I was a little disappointed by this collection on the whole. The form fitting lingerie style dresses look a little dated, and a little cheap, whilst the short a-line skirts and crisp shirts just got me thinking ‘so what’. They are well cut, as you would expect, but they don’t stand out as spectacular. That’s not…

Prabal Gurung Spring Collection – Bird of Paradise
Prabal Gurung is one of the New York based designers that I always look forward to seeing at New York Fashion week. His ultra feminine designs are always a feast for the eyes, and I found much to savour from his new collection, not least the sumptuous use of colour (particularly red and greys) and frill details. There were many style motifs running through the collection. Floaty cape effects were one which I thought were very successful, in the sheerest of chiffon fabrics, these additions to tops and dresses looked great and totally wearable. I especially loved this effect when added to a swirl effect shift dress. The use of…

Victoria by Victoria Beckham – Really cute!
Victoria Beckham has finally unveiled her diffusion collection ‘Victoria’ by Victoria Beckham, and it is quite different from her usual collections to say the least. A cute collection of shorter, 1960s style shifts and mini dresses, this seems miles away from her usual collections in terms of sophistication. Whereas her Victoria Beckham line is full of cool and elegant looks, this is the fun and flirty side of Mrs Beckham. Think the younger sister of the mainline wearer and you might be getting somewhere. This line is bright and colourful, and will retail much cheaper than the normal collection. The silhouettes are loose and flowing, non of the va-va-voom of…
