Vauxhall Fashion Scout Exhibition – Edward Finney
Vauxhall Fashion Scout is a veritable hotbed of new fashion talent, with the exhibition a great showcase for new design. I had a good look around yesterday and totally fell in love with the unique, unusual designs of Edward Finney. My first words on seeing his collection were ‘This is a man influenced by Alexander McQueen‘, and I was fascinated to learn that Edward Finney had worked with McQueen, and also with another fashion genius, John Galliano , with whom he worked as assistant designer for four years. After viewing his offbeat designs, I don’t think it will be that long before we mention Edward Finney in the same breath…

Angelica Huston – Style Icon of the New Season!
Without doubt, the most important style icon for the new season is the incomparable Angelic Huston. I first fell in love with Angelica’s style when she played Morticia Adams in the early 1990s. Her sleek Morticia was a dark goddess, with the most perfect cheekbones I had ever seen. I didn’t really know anything about Angelica, other than the fact she had been romantically involved with Jack Nicholson for many years. I knew nothing of her fashion past.

Get the Jessie J look at Harvey Nichols, Birmingham
Did anyone really pay that much attention to this years Britain’s Got Talent? Let’s face it, apart from the Ronan Parke and a batty female Liberace called Jean, it wasn’t the most interesting of programmes…that is until Jessie J appeared.

Violent Lips are a range of temporary tattoos that come in a whole range…
