Post by CM It may seem strange to get your fashion inspiration from a small boy, but hear me out. He’s spirited and courageous, works a pair of green leggings and pixie boots and isn’t afraid to try out a peplum. Yes, he has his faults (pomposity, selfishness, that low V neck) but the boy […]
MorePost by T.M. When I was preparing to study abroad in Norway way back when in the noughties I tried to figure out what kind of clothes were worn over there. Reindeer pelt? Long Johns? Well, it turns out that student style is pretty much universal – but you know that already, don’t you? You […]
MorePost by CM Fashion advertisements are different from others in that most of the time they feature beautiful people from the silver screen or the runway looking 100 times more beautiful than humanly possible, or by throwing an eye-catching curve-ball at you with their creative chutzpa. For all the overly air-brushed beauty campaigns, making us […]
MorePost by T.M. Oh my Gawd, I’m sooo embarrassed. When discussing the trends of 2014 I have repeatedly been referring to ‘pastels’, you know, those light blue, pink, yellow and green shades that Laura Ashley favoured so much in the early 90s and I’ve only just discovered that I have been using a very old-fashioned […]
MorePost by CM – Celebrating Our 100th Post! Couture is to Ready-to-Wear as Dove is to Pigeon. So maybe this year’s offerings can be said to be less dove and more Fancy Pigeon (which is seriously a thing, I looked it up), owing to an influx of fresh new designers with a more modern approach to […]
MorePost by T.M. I’ve changed, changed utterly, in quite a short space of time. Where this time last week I was excitedly writing about awards frocks and feeling that nice buzz of anticipation that it was only the beginning, at this stage I don’t really care any more. Sure I can still appreciate a good red carpet […]
MorePost by C.M. Ladies and Gents, let us cast our eyes to the future, akin to nosy oracles peering into the cluttered warehouses of couture designers. Designers anxious to drape their fabric masterpieces upon the nervous, hungry bodies of contenders to the most prestigious back-patting ceremony in all the world. For it’s official; The nominees […]
MorePost by T.M. Thanks to my day job I was positively saturated with the Golden Globes yesterday, and to be honest it made me hate everything everyone was wearing, right down to their white winning smiles. Cut to the end of the working day however, when I had a chance to put my feet up […]
MorePost by CM Men’s Fashion seems to be coming to the fore. Where once they were the sex leading the way sartorially – think Louis XVI’s natty heels and enormous wig, brooches adorning the cloaks of powerful Bronze Age chieftains and ancient Romans’ tunics, not to mention the pomp and circumstance of religious figures throughout […]
MorePost by T.M. We’re well and truly back into it, aren’t we? Real life I mean. Some might be suffering, others accepting (like me, I’ve been back in active service since last Monday, like in 2013.) and maybe some of you are glad to be back to reality but it’s sadly safe to say that a lot […]
