Catwalk4Change – Why I’m involved.
If we’re being totally honest, I’m not the perfect person to be strutting my stuff on a catwalk. Not super tall, not amazingly beautiful, a mom who never completed shifted the baby weight and is not all that worried by the fact.But, On the 6th September, walking a catwalk is exactly what I am going to be doing, and all for a very special cause. Models of Diversity, an internationally famous campaign for diversity within the fashion industry, has joined forces with the gorgeous blogger Edita of Pret-a-reporter, to change the rules of fashion this autumn with CATWALK4CHANGE. On 6th of September an amazing fashion show will kick-start London Fashion…

My LPSFW outfit + Win! with Clothing at Tesco.
Last week I was invited to attend London Plus size Fashion Weekend as a guest of Tesco. Of course I said ‘Yes!’ in my loudest voice, and then proceeded to squeal for a good many minutes when they said I would be able to choose an outfit from the Clothing at Tesco site to wear on the day. As a fan of F&F, this was a fantastic opportunity to test drive pieces from the range, although I knew just settling on one outfit wouldn’t be easy. I knew I wanted to choose a dress, and there were a few that caught the eye, including a fabulous silk feel shirt dress…

Style Icon of the Month September – Kate Moss
She’s been around what seems like forever, but she’s always in my heart when it comes to style, and this month, the newly married Kate Moss reappeared on the scene with a whole host of totally covetable looks, showing the young fashion upstarts that, when it comes to fashion and style, Kate still sets the bar pretty high. From high-octane glamour, to 1970s style double denim that seems to have been based on Anita Pallenburg at Nellcote 1972, Kate has worn a range of looks that have impressed. She has worn full length and fabulous gowns, little black cocktail dresses and even a jumpsuit once worn by Cheryl Cole, and…

Stephanie Grace Foy – One to watch.
At the recent London Fashion Week I was lucky enough to meet and chat to Stephanie Grace Foy. A talented up and coming designer, I was intrigued by her collection ‘Longitude/Latitude’ which seemed to juxtaposedly be the most simple, yet also the most intricate of designs. This is a wonderful collection of ‘lighter than air’ pieces that are deceptive in their cool simplicity. Stephanie has a background as a freelance pattern cutter working for some of the best in the fashion business. Her CV includes pattern cutting for Mark Fast, Topshop Unique and Mario Schwab. Witnessing the inner workings of the design process led Stephanie to formulate ideas for her…

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…
