Who knew you could buy a little je ne sais quoi for just £13?
I've been coveting these dresses for over twenty years. SEND HELP.
Set in the Mildmay club in London, photographer Glen Luchford perfectly captures Gucci's nostalgic "Soul Scene" campaign.
Somerset House’s mane attraction (geddit?) this winter is a major exhibition celebrating the remarkable 40-year career of legendary hairstylist Sam McKnight. McKnight has created some of fashion’s most recognisable styles – think Princess Diana’s slicked back bob, Tilda Swinton channeling David Bowie and Kate Moss’ trademark tousled tresses. He has created over 100 Vogue UK covers and […]
People are often surprised to learn that I haven’t got any tattoos, not a single one. Multiple piercings and scars, but zero on the inkage front; the main reason being I’m a bloody indecisive Libran. However, there’s one thing I would consider having tattooed about my person – a phrase, in fact – to act […]
Ahhh, fashion (to be sung in the style of the theme music to Gok Wan’s Fashion Fix)! For every stylish item, cleverly constructed outfit or tasteful trend, there has been bad taste and vulgarity, the shady yin to fashion’s shiny yang. Sometimes, the distinction is thinly veiled, à la Christopher Kane’s floral print Crocs shown at […]
It’s got to the stage where if I don’t write something about the V&A’s big new exhibition, You Say You Want a Revolution: Records & Rebels 1966-70, it’ll be bloody over (jokes, you’ve got until Feb next year, but still). So I’ma just blurt out my thoughts as they pop into my head, instead of the […]
In a bid to reignite my creative mojo, I’m currently reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I mentioned one of the book’s main tools in my last post, but the other concept is The Artist Date, which I’m yet to get rolling with. The Artist Date is basically a weekly block of time: “…especially […]
The air is different today, The wind sings with a new tone Sighing of changes coming. Rhawk, Alban Elfed September is all about change, ain’t it? New season, new fashion trends, new series of X Factor (or SCD depending on what floats your boat), new winter coat to see you through until spring. Even now, the […]
Breathing, huh? We all do it, but are you really doing it? Properly, I mean. It’s certainly something we take for granted until we, well, can’t. I’ve been thinking about breathing a lot lately. My dad is currently recovering in hospital on a respiratory ward, and when you go there and see patients with tubes […]
It’s V Festival this weekend, now celebrating 21 years of fun. The not-so-fun, actually-bloody-well-scary thing is: I WAS THERE, at the very first one, that took place in 1996. God, I’m old. I often forget I was at the inaugural festival, V96 as it was called back then, not because old age dementia is setting in (shut […]
TBH I’m a bit miffed that I didn’t write this post when I actually deleted Snapchat, which was nearly two months ago now. Oh well. Since then, Instagram has introduced Stories, and loads of people are ditching Snapchat for a platform they know, love and have already built up a decent following on. But my reasons […]
I so know what I want for my birthday (not until October, but still): an ear piercing and piece of beautiful jewellery from the new – and permanent! – Maria Tash piercing studio at Liberty. Following the crazy-ridic success of February’s month-long pop-up, the cult New York-based piercer to the stars (yup; she counts Beyoncé […]
