When I saw Gareth Pugh’s S/S’12 show, I thought of one thing. Stormtroopers. Now, I often have a little think about Stormtroopers, but this time I wasn’t daydreaming at my desk, oh no sir. This was Paris Fashion Week. And this is one helluva sexy Stormtrooper: We’ve even got ourselves a diva-ish Darth in what […]
Marc Jacobs S/S’12 at New York Fashion Week Now then. I was ALWAYS going to love the Marc Jacobs S/S’12 collection, wasn’t I? The required components were all there: the beautiful stage show / dance hall setting… the theatrics! The spectacle! THE JAZZ HANDS… And what with all the hullabaloo about MJ taking over the […]

Mulberry’s Fantastic Mr Fox collection, A/W’11 Would they wear it in Wigan? Possibly. Would they wear it in Hampstead / Notting Hill / Primrose Hill / other plush North London locations where Yummy Mummies might inhabit? Rather! The Mulberry A/W’11 collection was very British, very practical (thanks to the abundance of sensible outerwear on show) […]
Jeremy Scott’s Candy Flip collection, A/W’11 Fucking hell! Are my eyes deceiving me or am I actually tripping off my tits? Those in the know, er, know that to ‘Candy Flip’ means to mix one’s ecstasy pills with a dash of LSD. Quite. Not only does that snippet of ‘fo go a long way in […]
