Sophia (or Queen Neophitou to you) came up with a fantastic idea the other day whilst we were looking at the Wallace Collection. For those not in the know the Wallace Collection is “home to one...
There’s something of a Little Lord Fauntleroy to this. To our eye at least. I mean, there’s mention in the collection notes of Visconti’s The Damned, and Ludwig, but that’s just one classy...
Roland Mouret is about more than clothes. Roland Mouret is in fact a lifestyle. A very glamorous lifestyle where the female lead lives her life in the manner of a fabulous and decadent Jackie Collins...
Oof, we love ourselves a ruffle. Gives a lady a certain feel. Lucky for us, then, they are all over this MSGM collection – flying across pairs of trousers, along the edges of skirts,...
Regal. That’s the first word that comes to mind when I look at these images of Alexander McQueen’s Pre-Fall 2016 offering. It has about it the distinct whiff of a royal household. Maybe...
“You aren’t the boss of me!” Well, actually, this lady probably is. Boss woman by name, boss woman by nature. She knows exactly what she wants. And that’s clothes that work...
School gyms are terrifying places. Everybody knows this. They are the places of PE and assemblies, both of which are the low point of anybody’s educational careers. But when Jonny Johansson,...
When I was moving from primary school to high school I kept having a recurring nightmare that the whole school lined up to laugh at my new puffa coat. It was terrifying. Turns out that didn’t...
“A study in style” says Topshop Unique of their Pre-Fall 2016 collection. A fitting description, really, for a collection that looks to the “poetic spires of Oxbridge” and...
Consider this not only as a lovely pre-fall collection from Erika Cavallini, which it most definitely is, but also a lesson in minimal home design. Which you may not have asked for, but now you...
Think of this as your Christmas gift from Ten Towers – Elie Saab’s Pre-Fall 2016 collection in all it’s shimmering shining glory. Also known as sparkly things that we would like to...
It’s Antonio Berardi’s birthday today. Happy birthday Antonio! It’s also Sophia’s birthday. And Natalie’s. And my brother’s. What a day! To celebrate...
Right, what have we here then? Cloud dressing. As in, dressing in the shape of a cloud. Or clothes with clouds upon them, in coloured prints or curvy little zip pockets. Or – alternatively...
Forget Charlie’s Angels, there’s a new trio of sassy ladies in town, a triumvirate of empowered New York women past and present – Dorothy Parker, Siouxsie Sue and Lydia Lunch....
“Versace on the streets – an urban wardrobe for the today’s powerful women,” reads the blurb for Versace’s Pre-Fall 2016 collection. Versace on the streets, lady in the...
Want to become an Upper East Side princess? Brunch at the Boathouse, a mosey around the Met of an afternoon, evenings spent at a charitable Plaza gala. Or just a day spent lounging around your...
A posing class, courtesy of the Maison Margiela Pre-Fall 2016 collection. It’s all there. The over-the-shoulder. The over-the-shoulder semi-squat. The elegant chair lounge. The sassy faux-walk....
Calvin Klein’s Pre-Fall girl is a bit of an artsy character. I like to imagine her somewhere in the countryside, discussing the literature of the day at her friend’s country pile. A...
It’s Dominic the Christmas Elf again, spreading festive cheer from Ten Towers. This time I’m straying slightly from the traditional 12 Days of Christmas song and going to my main R&B...
We love a bit of travel, us. But we’re also pretty lazy. Which is why we are awaiting a form of travel that can be done without having to move arse from chair. Until then, we have Victoria...
Burberry, pure Burberry. No more Prorsum, no more Brit, no more London. Just pure, distilled, 100% proof Burberry. Because this Pre-Fall 2016 collection is the first time that the Brit-house is...
“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late!” That was the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland,...
For his Pre-Fall collection Ralph Lauren says he was “inspired by the purity of clean lines…a romantic minimalism”. And the clothes were certainly romantic, not that I have any...
