Style Icons 2012 – Two Kates – Moss and Upton
Kate Middleton hasn’t been the only Kate making fashion waves this year. Two model Kate’s have also made waves in the world of fashion, albeit of different varieties. Both Kate Moss and Kate Upton have proven that blondes still have more fun, and have both featured on Vogue front covers. But whereas Moss remains the cover girls all others aspire to be, Kate Upton has frankly divided opinions. Should the former Sports Illustrated Model be an editorial cover girl at all, least of all on the cover of Vogue. Isn’t the gorgeous blonde more cheesecake than High fashion? The debates have raged. Personally. I loved seeing Kate Upton on…

Yet Another Kate Moss revival
You can never write her off, every time it goes a little bit quite on the Kate Moss front, she comes storming back in spectacular fashion. Now is one of those times. My favourite Supermodel of all time is quite frankly everywhere at the moment, and looking better than ever. From actually doing an interview with Grazia magazine (where she did make a bit of a stupid comment about dressing like a wife. A wife is what you are – i.e. Married, not how you dress), to fabulous ad campaigns for Salvatore Ferragamo where she looks just stunning, 2012 is turning out to be another summer of Kate. I just…

When Fashion-Mommy met Stella McCartney
Last week I had the most amazing email pop into the inbox. ‘Would I like to take part in a special question and answer session with Stella McCartney and the Vogue editor Alexander Schulman. This was taking place at Selfridges, London, as part of the Stella McCartney takeover to commemorate the launch of Stella’s new perfume, L.I.L.Y. So last Wednesday I took my seat in the fabulous Ultra lounge with a glass of champagne to listen to Stella musing all about fashion, her wonderful career, and also a little bit about family life. Here are some selected highlights. On her starting points for her collections I take my last collection…

Fashion-Mommy Loves – A review of July Style.
July was the month that started with two weddings that encompassed a royal wedding and a rock and roll wedding. It was the month that a wedding dress was put on public display to the delight of millions of fashionistas and romantics. And it was the month that ended with another royal wedding. In between we had a fashion fest from Emma Watson , and saw the shocking death of fashion icon Amy Winehouse. Here are all the highlights of a busy but interesting month. Brides, Brides, Brides Kate Moss looked the epitome of dishevelled, boho elegance in her 1920s inspired gown by John Galliano as she tied the knot…

Sarah Jessica Parker and Halston Heritage part company.
It seemed like a match made in fashion heaven, Sex in the City style icon Sarah Jessica Parker and Halston Heritage, the younger sister of the Halston brand, synonymous with Studio 54 and glamorous seventies style. But is seems that SJP and Halston Heritage have parted company after just 18 months. This seems such a shame. I don’t know if Sarah Jessica Parker ever actually designed anything, or whether she really sat on the floor sewing sequins on hemlines, as she once said in an interview, SJP became the person who embodied the revitalised Halston – glamorous, ambitious and super smart. SJP was a fab brand ambassador for Halston Heritage,…
