Designer Vintage Bridal Show – Oh! To be a bride…Pt 1.
This weekend, Highbury Hall has been the venue for the most glamorous, chic wedding show that Birmingham has ever hosted. The inaugural ‘Designer Vintage Wedding Show’, had sparkling style, vintage chic and sumptuous wedding gowns in an amazing setting. Imagine a trip through time to an Agatha Christie era country pile, where the elegant guests are treated to pots of Earl Grey in delicate bone china cups, and slices of the most mouth-watering layer cake, whilst being entertained by a string quartet. On retiring to you room, after enjoying a selection of 78s being played on an original gramophone, you find your bedroom filled with the most glorious selection of…

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…
