Again with the Black Swan things, but surely I cant be the only person who thinks that this beautiful poster, below:looks a lot likethe symbol of the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars? I find it hilarious,...
I cant believe Carine Roitfeld is actually quitting Vogue Paris! On one hand, her logic in favour of going out while shes still on top, and when shes completed a nice round number of years- ten- as V...
...though I suppose its not quite right to call them girls, given that René Gruau never drew female figures without a strong hint of slink and sophistication, and womanly is very much the appropriate...
Im aware that, as per pop culture, the hair really should be white with a black streak (e.g. Daphne Guinness), but really, how was I expected to resist?

Ive never made a secret of the fact that Im a huge fan of Ronald Searles work, and St Trinians in particular- the first post I did about it led to the words "stocking tops" becoming the top s...
I dare anyone viewing this page to listen to the song above and not have immediate warm happies, no matter how uncool you think Oasis are (Ill say it right here, Im a fangirl who hates the fact that ...

Ive just read the incredibly sad news that Corinne Day has passed away after struggling with brain cancer. As a longtime fan whose fashion sensibilities owe a lot to her images and the radical revisi...
After a month of careful consideration to think it over, Im pretty solid on the fact that this is indeed my new favourite image from the AW2010-11 ad campaigns (I mean, its Zidane*. Modelling for a c...
Im no art critic, and when it comes to the work of one of my favourite artists of all time, the oft-cited references to her style being a mixture of Art Nouveau and shoujo manga are things I cant ref...
Its an odd thing for a fashion blogger to say, but fashion has been boring me for a while. Given the extreme speed at which one set of collections follows another (Pre-Fall, Menswear and now Couture ...
