Fashion Inspiration: Viola Spiechowicz

A collection for angels, with beautiful chiffons and light varied colours. Completely unexpected, and was a good marketing move compared to all the other collections, which used dark, heavy materials and shades. This collection raised a lot of controversy- except from being my favourite show, the others were right. What is the point of having […]

The Key ‘September Issue’ Trend: Embroidery 

The September issues give the fashion world some time to step away from topical issues, political events and awards ceremonies usually interspersed among the issues running up to the main fashion issue.

September: Art & Culture

The move to the countryside of dales and moors is in order- away from the smoky grey bustle of London.

Valentino: Butterflies in Paris

After a first few blurry photos posted up on Instagram showed me just how seriously Valentino took their embroidery this season, I quickly typed up my review based on those blurry images and a bit of help from Style.com up on my site. I have always been fascinated by fashion inspired by the art of […]

My January on Instagram

Since it seems that Instagram is the chosen medium for image self expression, and I forgot to post the January pictures at the end of January, which would have made logical sense… I want to post them now. However, since it seems that being late is not so fashionable any more, let’s say that my […]
