Style really does run in the genes if Julia Restoin-Roitfeld is anything to go by. The 26 year old daughter of legendary French Vogue editor, Carine Roitfeld, uses clothes to celebrate her voluptous figure. Often seen wearing body conscious dresses, Julia is no fashion wallflower. With her green feline eyes flashing, this art director exudes [...]

Those were the only words that the German model of the sixties Veruschka had to utter in the iconic film ‘Blow Up’ by Antonioni before being immortalized on celluloid. The film is famous for the image of Veruschka writhing on the floor posing for David Hemmings (playing a character based on David Bailey), who is [...]

So why don’t you come and take me home?

I was never one to flirt with gothism during my teenage angst years. The whole culture had very little appeal to me. The goths at my school were predictably boring with their incessant black wardrobe, greasy bizarrely coloured hair hung across their faces to avoid eye contact with the ‘outisde world’, which inevitably led to these [...]
Girl en Vogue : Irina Lazareanu
Posted in Girl en Vogue, tagged Girl en Vogue; Irina Lazareanu on July 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
With her pale pallor and delicate features, Irina Lazareanu looks like a tragic heroine from a Tolstoy novel. But the 27 year old, Romanian born model and singer’s bohemian style with a twist certainly packs a punch. Her penchant for military apparel, oversized men’s blazers and headbands are unique. Her daywear is louche with masculine [...]
Trend Watch : Headwraps

We have long abandoned and neglected the region above our hairline. It has often been an all or nothing sartorial situation. Leaving our hairstyle to the elements or covering our head in a selection of hats (from beanies to trilbys). But now it seems, we are re-discovering the joy of accessorizing our hair. The last [...]
Unlike Kirsty MacColl I probably would do in these shoes…

You know that feeling you sometimes have that if you managed to get your hands on one thing then ‘you’d get that promotion – that boy would finally notice you – generally life would be rosy?!’ Well I got it, bad, when I spotted Camilla Belle wearing a pair of Gucci sandals in this week’s [...]
We love Vogue Paris

At last! Vogue Paris is back! My love for thee knows no bounds. J’adore the French but their damn holidays get in the way of my magazine addiction. It should be illegal to withold VP production for two months! But upon viewing Daria’s editorial in the August issue I shall forgive La Roitfeld and her [...]

Trend Watch : Bustiers
Posted in Trend Watch, tagged Élisabeth Tessierain, Chloe Sevigny, Erin Wasson, Rumi Neely, Trend Watch on July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Bustiers and corsets have had a fascinating ( and painful! ) history and now it appears that they have been re-introduced into modern fashion and streetstyle again. Although they’ve never been fully away from the catwalk , I have never seen so many corset tops and bustiers hanging on the rails of so many high street stores as [...]
