X Factor Fashion – Kelly’s back to turn up the heat.
This was a pretty special week even by X Factor standards. Kelly Rowland was back after recovering from the devastating illness that had left her with the ‘worst pretending to be ill’ voice ever. Frankie Cocozza was back to fight another week, and Louis and Gary were most definitely not enjoying each others company. Not all sunshine and smiles, that’s for sure. But this was a vintage week for X Factor style. And with Florence Welch as the amazing musical guest wearing a glorious Art Deco style design,and Mischa B looking fierce in an Oasis tailcoat, this was the best fashion display yet from this series. First Up – Kelly…

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.

Kate Moss’s amazing Rock n Roll wedding!

It was sleeveless and bias cut, rather like a decadent evening dress, and the hemline shimmered with rhinestones and gold leaves. There was a small train, and the veil and headpiece was reminiscent of that worn by The Queen Mother for her wedding to The Duke of Young…

Paris Couture week – style, celebs and Chanel
Paris Couture week should really be suffering. We are in the middle of the Worlds worst depression since the 1930s, times are undoubtably hard for a majority of the worlds populus, and Paris Couture is renowned for being the most exquisitely expensive of vestments. The beautiful, frivolous designs that could only be worn by models on the catwalk seem to be a luxury that is outdated in our modern, fast fashion society, where celebs are often pictured wearing High Street, and Lanvin, Jil Sander, Karl Lagerfeld are names that can be found in Uniqlo and H&M as well as in their own luxury boutiques. But every year Paris Couture week…
