Vivienne Westwood and Betsey Johnson – still style mavericks after all these years!
A revisit of a post from 2011. We have just seen the end of London Fashion Week, following hot on the heels of New York fashion week, and it is safe to say that two of the brightest, most interesting Autumn collections come from two style mavericks who first came to our attention in the 1970s. Both Vivienne Westwood and Betsey Johnson are at an age when they could relax and put their feet up, instead, they are continuing to push fashion boundaries. Here are some of the highlights of their recent collections. Alice in Wonderland meets the Royals! As can be expected of the woman who was at the…

What are the best things about Autumn?
As I wake up this morning there is a definite chill in the air. And although the next astronomical fall in the Western Hemisphere doesn’t officially begin until the 23rd of September, as far as I am concerned, Autumn has begun. Best Offers Bingo recently conducted a survey asking over 1,500 people in the UK what they think the best thing about Autumn is. The answers were very mixed, with some pretty obvious ones, who doesn’t love the crunch, look and general beauty of Autumn leaves, to some less obvious – dark evenings fill me with dread, but they made the list. Here are the findings in full:- Autumn Leaves…

Get the LFW look with the ASOS Daily Edit
With London Fashion Week in full swing, ASOS has been bringing us the best picks for what to wear to be front row ready. Each day, ASOS personal stylist, and admitted trendaholic Megan Ellaby has been bringing us a daily edit from the voluminous ASOS ranges, and edit that offers cool pieces that would not look out-of-place at London Fashion Week. It seems that Megan is totally on the ball when it comes to her choices, as some of the styles are very similar to those being worn to the most exclusive shows this season. Model Laura Bailey has been photographed wearing mannish pieces, wide leg trousers and men’s style…
