Prada really was the FASH-BOMB of Milan Fashion Week summer 2014. How to experience it in real-time? Fill your mind with colour, texture, sequins, giant faces and glitter. Do few laps round mural-filled streets wearing high tube socks and a printed coat with a bralet over the top. Feeling a bit warm now? Then you’ll […]
I know, I know. Here at Le Blow, we’re always banging on about the 90s. Well how’s this for a new decade to reference? Get the (Abigail’s) party started! The 70s ARE BACK (albeit with a little less polyester). Here’s a few reasons why The AW12 shows were HUGE for geometric prints and matching printed […]
I have to admit that in the past my Christmas wish lists have been on the Princess scale. They’ve included Chanel and Prada sunglasses; UGGs in every shade; J Brand skinny jeans… This year being newly single (albeit chucked) I have scaled back, reflected somewhat… …and just bought the stuff myself.

Set in […]

I’ve got a somewhat ‘addictive’ personality and I tend to get obsessed with things for a short, intense period of time just to drop ’em like the proverbial hot patootie and move onto my next Big Thing.

Someone’s been a busy boy. Namely, the American Photographer Steven Meisel AKA the man behind Madonna’s 1992 book Sex (remember the noise they made about that? Sheesh). He’s photographed a number of campaigns for SS/’11 including Dior, Louis Vuitton, Juicy Couture and is certainly no stranger to a Vogue cover. Here are a few of […]
