Kate Moss returns to the catwalk…and heralds the return of white in your wardrobe.
We’ve only just stopped talking about her last appearance on the Marc Jacobs/Louis Vuitton catwalk, the one where she appeared to be wearing support pants and was smoking a cigarette on National No smoking day. And now Kate Moss has returned to the Louis Vuitton catwalk, and this time it was apparently at her own request. If Kate shocked on her last appearance, this time she just looked extraordinarily pretty. The Spring/Summer collection for Louis Vuitton is a frothy, candy floss confection of early 60s style dresses which were modelled on the biggest carousel Paris had to other. This was a sweet and girlie collection, that made the most of…

Charlotte Casiraghi – a style star is born.
Charlotte Casiraghi was always destined to be beautiful. Her mother is the lovely Princess Caroline of Monaco, her grandmother was the legendary Princess Grace, formally Grace Kelly, iconic movie star and one of the loveliest women of her generation. Yes, Charlotte Casiraghi has beauty in her blood. This month, those stunning looks have merged with a full fanfare as Emmanuelle Alt unveiled Charlotte as the cover star for her first September Issue as editor of French Vogue. This is traditionally the most important issue of the year, being chosen as the cover star is acknowledgment of your standing in the fashion world. Being shot by the genius that is Mario…

Nicole Murray – now view the collection.
I recently wrote about Fashion’s bright new hope Nicole Murray, a designer who I believe is one to watch. Today I am very pleased to be able to share Nicole’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. Full of Autumnal shades of heather, amethyst and rosewood, combined with rich earthy tones of bronze, this stylish and sophisticated collection illustrates perfectly why Nicole is a rising star on the British fashion scene. From the slinky backless evening dress, to the retro pencil skirts and skinny fit tops, this is a collection that salutes the Halston style glamour of the 1970s. The use of lame for trenchcoats and sexy secretary skirts is a key to the…

Nicole Murray – One to watch.
British fashion is an exciting place to be in at the present time, the buzz that surrounded London Fashion Week this year, with its amazing collections and starry front rows, showed that London is once again the capital of the fashion world. And Nicole Murray is primed to become one of its brightest stars. At just 24, she has already seen her first collection sold exclusively through Harrods as part of the ‘Harrods launches’ platform, has received plaudits and acclaim from both the notoriously picky fashion press and celebrities, and is set to be one of the standout collections of the soon-to-be launched website watch-that-label.com. The Nicole Murray line was…

Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton-Kate walks again
It was fashion and fetish, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell at the Louis Vuitton A/W 2011 show in Paris yesterday. Marc Jacobs had a lot to live up to after the amazing success of his two most recent collections, which had evoked the glamour of the 1950s and disco heyday 1970s respectively. This collection was altogether darker and seedier, less glamorous and more oppressive. And to my mind, even adding too of the most iconic supermodels of all time did nothing to lift the disappointment over what was a seriously depressing, if decadent, collection. The styling reminded me of the 1975 Charlotte Rampling film ‘The Night Porter’, with a dash…
